Tech stocks attempted a rebound after Monday's devastating crash triggered by DeepSeek, as investors show interest in dip-buying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43261206/nvidia-broadcom-gain-over-5-as-tech-giants-rebound-after-monday-sell-off-whats-going-on">the hardest-hit names.</a>
Shares of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) climbed by over 6% after plunging 17% and erasing nearly $600 billion in market capitalization the previous day, following a series of reassuring comments suggesting that DeepSeek's development may not be as detrimental to the semiconductor giant as initially feared.
The Nasdaq 100 gained 1.6% after a 2.9% drop the day before, outperforming other major indices.
Notably, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) tumbled 8.5%, despite slightly beating Street expectations on earnings, as the automaker failed to provide updates on the potential impact of Trump tariffs, leaving investors in limbo.
The dollar strengthened after multiple overnight reports indicated that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is considering universal tariffs of 2.5%, with gradual increases up to 20%, allowing countries room to negotiate with President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. Treasury yields rose about 3 basis points across the curve, reflecting slight investor nervousness and inflation concerns in the bond market.
In macro news, the Conference Board&#8217;s consumer confidence retreated in January, with the index dropping 5.4 points to 104.1. All five components of the index weakened, though the sharpest decline came from consumers&#8217; assessments of the current economic situation.
Gold climbed 0.8% to $2,760 per ounce, sitting less than one percentage point away from record highs.
In commodities, natural gas extended its sharp decline, down 5.4% after shedding over 7% on Monday, while oil remained steady at $73 per barrel.
The crypto market stabilized after Monday's tech-driven turmoil weighed on sentiment toward digital assets. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has reclaimed the $102,000 level, up 2.9%.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) shares are trading lower<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43261093/kimberly-clark-delivers-solid-results-in-first-year-of-transformation" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in the premarket session on Tuesday.</a>
The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.50, beating the street view of $1.51. Quarterly sales of $4.90 billion (down 0.8%) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $4.86 billion.
In the fourth quarter, North American net sales dropped 0.5% to $2.7 billion, International Personal Care sales fell 1.3% to $1.4 billion, and IFP sales declined 1.2% to $831 million.
Kimberly-Clark&#8217;s quarterly organic sales were up 2.3% in the quarter under review, driven by the highest quarterly volume growth of the year at 1.5%, a 0.6% increase in price from ongoing revenue growth management programs, and a 0.1% contribution from a favorable product mix.

The company&#8217;s quarterly adjusted gross margin was 35.4%, up 50 basis points versus the prior year. Strong productivity gains were partly offset by investments and manufacturing cost&nbsp;headwinds.
Adjusted operating profit was $684 million, up 2.1% from the prior year, despite a 1.8% negative impact from currency translation and divestitures.
The company completed share repurchases of 7.2 million shares at a cost of $1 billion in 2024. Total debt was $7.4 billion as of December 31, 2024 
Guidance: The company expects currency translation to impact net sales by about 300 basis points. Additionally, it anticipates a 240 basis point decline from its PPE divestiture and exiting the US private label diaper business.
Kimberly-Clark expects Adjusted Earnings Per share to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit rate on a constant-currency basis 
Dividend: The company declared an increased quarterly dividend of&nbsp;$1.26&nbsp;per share, a level 3.3% higher than its previous regular quarterly payout. The dividend is<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43261165/kimberly-clark-declares-dividend-increase" rel="noreferrer noopener"> payable on&nbsp;April 2.</a>
