Insights From Analysts
Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research highlighted that the first quarter of a post-election year tends to be &#8220;quite weak&#8221;. &#8220;This choppy start to 2025 isn&#8217;t abnormal. Don&#8217;t panic,&#8221; he added.

He also continued reiterating his February seasonality stance via his X posts. He highlighted that junk corporate bonds, also called high-yield bonds, were up the past five days as the S&amp;P 500 was down over 4%.
&#8220;If the end was near like they keep telling us this wouldn&#8217;t be the case. Remain calm, this is simply seasonal late February shenanigans,&#8221; he said.

Furthermore, he dismissed the validity of price-to-earnings ratio, saying that there was no &#8220;correlation between P/E multiples and what stocks will do a year later.&#8221;
George Smith, portfolio strategist at LPL Financial highlighted his take on investor sentiment by analyzing survey data from the American Association of Individual Investors and Bank of America Global Fund Manager Survey.
AAII&#8217;s latest sentiment survey reveals significantly bearish sentiment among individual investors for the fourth consecutive week, with the bull-bear spread at a 10-year high. This extreme bearishness, viewed through a contrarian lens, could be a positive signal for stocks, said Smith.
However, the BofA Global Fund Manager Survey presents a more mixed picture, with professional investors cautiously optimistic about the economy but concerned about overvalued U.S. equities. Overall, these surveys suggest a relatively neutral market outlook, aligning with LPL Research&#8217;s neutral stance on equities due to a balance of positive and negative factors, explained Smith.

In Friday&#8217;s pre-market trading, Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) saw a 3.18% dip in its stock, following a 7% decrease in Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) value over the past day, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43936143/mstr-stock-falls-over-5-in-tuesday-pre-market-whats-going-on">Benzinga Pro</a>.
What Happened: The shares of Strategy, which recently&nbsp;added nearly $2 billion worth&nbsp;of Bitcoin to its portfolio, fell during today&#8217;s pre-market session after Bitcoin declined 7% over the past 24 hours and nearly 20% over the past seven days. The cryptocurrency slipped below $80,000, marking nearly a 25% fall from its all-time high. 
Despite the company&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy significantly boosting its stock market capitalization, critics question the long-term viability of this approach. Peter Schiff, a prominent economist and market commentator, criticized the company&#8217;s debt-fueled bitcoin purchases, pointing out the company&#8217;s declining share price and the shrinking Net Asset Value premium.

Why It Matters: Bitcoin&#8217;s recent decline has sparked debates among traders about the end of the bull market. Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/44016927/bitcoin-drops-below-85000-what-does-technical-analysis-say">Bitcoin has entered</a> oversold conditions for the first time since August 2024, a period followed by a 33% rebound. This sparks concern for Strategy, which has a Bitcoin holding worth nearly $ 43 billion, making it a major corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
Strategy stock plunged nearly 50% from its all-time high of $473.83 on Nov. 21. On Monday, Barclays lowered their target price on MSTR from $515.00 to $421.00 and set an &#8220;overweight&#8221; rating on the stock.
Last week, Strategy's co-founder Michael Saylor met with the SEC's Crypto Task Force to discuss potential regulatory reforms while protecting crypto holders&#8217;&nbsp;rights. He also presented his&nbsp;strategic Bitcoin reserve plan to&nbsp;the SEC, aiming to generate&nbsp;between $16 billion to $81&nbsp;trillion in wealth for the&nbsp;U.S. Treasury.

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck vehicles are reportedly piling outside the company&#8217;s gigafactory in Texas and collecting dust, forcing the company to resort to aggressive discounting.
What Happened: According to a report <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2025/02/27/thousands-of-tesla-cybertrucks-gather-dust-even-with-6000-discount/">by</a> Forbes, the company&#8217;s inventory for the trucks is piling up owing to lower-than-expected sales.
Tesla&#8217;s inventory in the U.S. still has model year 2024 vehicles in addition to model year 2025 ones. The company is now offering discounts up to $6000 on model year 2024 foundation series Cybertrucks and $4000 on non-foundation series Cybertrucks in its inventory.
The Cybertruck is one of Tesla&#8217;s more premium offerings. The vehicle starts at $79,990 for the base all-wheel drive variant and at $99,990 for the more premium Cyberbeast variant.
According to data from automotive research firm Kelley Blue Book, the Cybertruck was Tesla&#8217;s third best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2024, after its mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y. The company sold&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">38,965 units in the 12 months through the end of December</a>, significantly higher than the number of Model S or Model X sold in the country but less than the expected delivery volume for the vehicle. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously said that the company is eyeing a production rate of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262279/a-year-after-teslas-first-cybertruck-deliveries-the-truck-has-a-long-way-to-go-to-meet-musks-goals">250,000 Cybertrucks a year</a> in 2025. The number seems unlikely given the weak demand.
Analyst Take: Researcher&nbsp;Troy Teslike, who tracks Tesla&#8217;s production and delivery numbers,&nbsp;expects the EV giant to sell just 21,000 Cybertrucks in 2025, lower than the sales of the stainless steel truck in 2024.
"The order backlog is gone. Tesla ended 2024 with 10,600 unsold Cybertrucks because of too much production and low demand," the researcher said earlier this month while also dismissing the possibility of a cheaper Cybertruck variant launch this year.
"A cheaper Cybertruck this year is unlikely because the Cybertruck is not profitable. A cheaper version would make things worse," he said.
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in the U.S. four years after unveiling it in November 2023. The company sold only its limited edition foundation series initially, priced nearly $20,000 more than the non-foundation series of the truck. The non-foundation series Cybertucks started to be sold only in the fourth quarter of 2024.

On Thursday, the company reported fourth-quarter results, with revenue of $89.66 million, slightly above <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44024710/alkami-announces-fourth-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $89.65 million</a>.
Adjusted gross margin expanded to 63.1% from 60.3% a year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA rose significantly to $10.2 million from&nbsp;$3.1 million&nbsp;in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EPS of $0.11&nbsp;exceeded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $0.08</a>.
Outlook: Alkami Technology projects first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of&nbsp;$9.5 million-$10.5 million and revenue of $93.5 million-$95.0 million<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> vs. consensus of $95.03 million</a>.
For FY25, the company forecasts sales of $440 million-$445 million, vs. the estimate of $414.64 million and adjusted EBITDA of&nbsp;$47.0 million-$51.0 million.
Bryan Hill, Chief Financial Officer, said,&nbsp;&#8220;In 2024, we added 2.5 million registered users to our digital banking platform, ending the year with 20 million digital banking users. We exited 2024 with annual recurring revenue of&nbsp;$356 million, up 22% compared to&nbsp;December 31, 2023&nbsp;and revenue per registered user of&nbsp;$17.81, up 7% compared to the year-ago quarter.&#8221;
Acquisition deal: In a separate release, the company disclosed a definitive deal to acquire Fin Technologies, Inc. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44024708/alkami-to-acquire-mantl-to-expand-account-opening-capabilities" rel="noreferrer noopener">for an enterprise value of $400 million</a>.
Founded in 2016 by&nbsp;Nathaniel Harley&nbsp;and&nbsp;Benjamin Conant, MANTL has helped its clients raise over&nbsp;$31 billion&nbsp;in deposits while saving employees more than 350,000 hours through automation and process transformation.
The transaction will be conducted on a debt-free, cash-free basis, with customary purchase price adjustments expected to total approximately $7 million.
Alkami intends to finance the acquisition with around $380 million in cash, along with restricted stock units valued at approximately $13 million, which will be issued to continuing MANTL employees at closing as a replacement for unvested compensatory stock options.
The MANTL acquisition, which is subject to standard closing conditions, is anticipated to be finalized by or before March 31, 2025.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, Alkami anticipates MANTL will contribute around $30 million in revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5 million to its full-year financial results.
Additionally, MANTL&#8217;s annual recurring revenue under contract is projected to reach approximately $60 million by December 31, 2025, representing growth of more than 30% Y/Y.
Alex Shootman, Alkami Chief Executive Officer said, &#8220;This business combination creates a tremendous opportunity for Alkami to expand market share and generate cross sell within its client base, driving additional revenue growth and enhancing our competitive offering among financial institutions.&#8221;
Price Action: ALKT shares are down 1.24% at $28.60 premarket at the last check Friday.\

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich recently expressed his concerns over the governance style and policy decisions of the Trump administration, highlighting a stark contrast between the current state of affairs and his own experiences in the cabinet room.
What Happened: On Thursday, Reich uploaded his latest interview with MSNBC on his official YouTube channel wherein he voiced his concerns about the Trump administration. He criticized Trump&#8217;s first cabinet meeting and called it a &#8220;theatrical performance for the press&#8221;. Reich also called out the lack of real work being done.
Reich also pointed out the contradiction between President Trump&#8217;s promise not&nbsp;to touch Social Security, Medicare&nbsp;or Medicaid and the recent budget resolution that&nbsp;instructs the Energy and Commerce&nbsp;Committee to slash Medicaid by&nbsp;an unprecedented $880 billion. He accused the Trump administration of lying to the public and fostering a culture of loyalty to Trump over loyalty to the U.S. The former Secretary of Labour called this a rise of dictatorship and strongly stated, &#8220;Trump&#8217;s tyranny is undeniable.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Reich&#8217;s criticisms come in the wake of two significant policy decisions by the Trump administration. Reich had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43774882/donald-trumps-tax-cut-could-add-46-trillion-to-deficit-says-robert-reich-emphasizing-48-billion-relief-for-top-100-us-firms-via-corporate-tax-cuts">previously criticized</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s tax reduction plans for the corporates, terming them as an "absolutely shameless giveaway," that could increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion. 
Meanwhile, despite Trump&#8217;s promise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43901103/medicaid-faces-880-billion-cuts-but-trump-says-social-security-is-safe">not to cut Social Security or Medicare</a>, the Trump administration could include a Medicaid reduction of $880 billion as part of the larger $2 trillion expenditure cut plan.
Reich&#8217;s comments underscore the growing concerns about the Trump administration&#8217;s governance style and policy decisions, and their potential impact on the American public. Even before Trump resumed his second term, Reich had warned of the likely influence of billionaires such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in the White House. In one of his posts on X, Reich even questioned the rising net worth of Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, when 87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour.

Robert Reich Slams $880 Billion Medicaid Cuts: 'Trump's Tyranny Is Undeniable'

Billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency lead Elon Musk on Thursday called on retired air traffic controllers to return to work.
What Happened: &#8220;There is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers,&#8221; Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s post comes on the heels of the FAA calling for entry-level air traffic controllers. Interested candidates can apply now through March 17. 
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary&nbsp;Sean Duffy said on Thursday that the FAA is streamlining the 8-step hiring process at the agency into a 5-step process. 
&#8220;This will accelerate the time-to-hire for these critical positions by shaving more than four months off the old process. We want the best and brightest to get expedited entry into the academy, and as an incentive to apply, we will be increasing the pay for those in training,&#8221; Duffy said. &#8220;This administration is committed to solving the air traffic control shortage that has existed for too long.&#8221;
Duffy said in a statement that the starting salary for candidates who go to the FAA&#8217;s academy for training will increase by 30%, making the average certified professional controller salary go over $160,000 a year.
What Happened: Earlier this month, Duffy said that the FAA has about 45,000 employees and the new government has let go "less than 400" who were probationary. Those laid off were at the agency for less than a year and did not include air traffic controllers or critical safety personnel, he said.
The Professional Aviation Safety Specialists union&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>&nbsp;that a total of 130 probationary employees represented by the union were terminated. The terminated job roles include aviation safety assistant, environmental protection specialist, management and program analyst, and maintenance mechanic, among others, it said.
The rising demand for air traffic controllers comes on the heels of multiple plane accidents in the recent past. In January, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43326442/psa-airlines-jet-falls-in-potomac-river-after-mid-air-crash-with-helicoper">collision between an army helicopter</a> and a plane while it was nearing the runway at Reagan Washington National Airport killed 67 people. 
The FAA is nearly 3,500 air traffic controllers short of its targeted staffing levels.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is working on introducing a new technology that could help social media apps identify users under 16 years of age
What Happened: According to a White Paper released by Apple earlier this month, the Tim Cook-led company plans to launch the "Declared Age Range" application programming interface (API) on iOS devices.
This will allow developers to request age range information of users, with parental consent. This system will help apps determine if a user is under 18, 16, or 13, and decide on content accessibility or app usage.

Parents will also have the ability to manage their child&#8217;s declared age on Apple devices, ensuring the birth date is accurate. However, the actual birth date will not be shared with apps.
Apple will also revise app age ratings in its store to four categories: 4+, 13+, 16+, and 18+.

Why This Matters: This development comes amid Australia&#8217;s recent legislation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42156355/as-meta-tiktok-x-and-snapchat-stare-at-tough-under-16-ban-australias-pm-says-destroy-personal-data-once-age-is-verified-or-risk-32m-fine">banning</a> under-16s from social media platforms.
The Australian government passed a social media ban for under-16s in December, requiring platforms like TikTok and Instagram to verify user ages.
While Meta and TikTok suggested device makers like Apple and Google should handle age assurance, the responsibility remains with app developers. The government will assess if Apple&#8217;s model meets the &#8220;reasonable steps&#8221; criteria for age verification.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40674661/apple-gears-up-to-push-back-against-legislation-enforcing-age-restrictions-in-app-store-report">Apple&#8217;s opposition</a> to legislation enforcing age restrictions on apps has been a topic of debate. The company has been advocating for data minimization, arguing that requiring users to provide sensitive personal information for age verification is not in the best interest of user privacy and safety.
Apple&#8217;s proposed age verification technology aligns with its commitment to privacy by allowing parents to share only the age range of their children, not their actual birth dates.
