Needham Upgrades Boston Scientific to Buy, Announces $113 Price Target

Facebook has been found hosting several groups where Uber and DoorDash driver accounts are being traded, thereby circumventing the necessary screening procedures and potentially posing a safety risk.
What Happened: Meta Platform&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Facebook is hosting numerous groups where Uber driver accounts can be bought or rented. This allows individuals to drive for Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and other rideshare and delivery apps like DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) without undergoing the mandatory screening process or even having a valid driver&#8217;s license, revealed an <a href="http://A recent investigation by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), an initiative of the Campaign for Accountability (CfA)">investigation </a>by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), an initiative of the Campaign for Accountability (CfA).
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
The investigation identified 80 such&nbsp;Facebook groups with a combined&nbsp;membership of over 800,000 users engaged in this trade, in clear violation of Meta&#8217;s policies against fraud. The existence of these groups suggests that content moderation on Facebook is not being effectively enforced.
Within these groups, users shared listings of Uber and DoorDash driver accounts available for sale or rent, while potential buyers inquired about the availability of these accounts across different U.S. cities, states, and even international markets.
Michelle Kuppersmith, CfA Executive Director, stated, &#8220;This&nbsp;is just the latest example&nbsp;of Meta failing to rid&nbsp;its platform of illicit black&nbsp;markets.&#8221; 
&#8220;By&nbsp;facilitating this market of fake&nbsp;accounts, Meta is exacerbating a&nbsp;serious public safety problem,&#8221; Kuppersmith added.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779863/warren-buffetts-son-sold-his-berkshire-stock-inheritance-to-buy-something-infinitely-more-valuable-than-the-500-million-it-would-be-worth-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warren Buffett&#8217;s Son Sold His Berkshire Stock Inheritance To Buy Something &#8216;Infinitely More Valuable&#8217; Than The $500 Million It Would Be Worth Today &#8211; Benzinga</a>
Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time that Meta has been in the spotlight for its content moderation policies. In 2022, a TTP report revealed that some sellers were offering document packages for account verification, including IDs and Social Security cards. Meta later deleted those accounts.
In January, Meta shifted its content moderation approach, moving from third-party fact-checkers to a user-driven &#8220;community notes&#8221; model for flagging questionable content.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained, "So, we&#8217;re going to continue to focus these systems on tackling illegal and high-severity violations, like terrorism, child sexual exploitation, drugs, fraud and scams." However, he also stated, &#8220;Too much harmless content gets censored, too many people find themselves wrongly locked up in ‘Facebook jail,&#8217; and we are often too slow to respond when they do.&#8221;
Notably, this investigative report comes at a time when Zuckerberg is facing a historic antitrust trial that could lead to the disintegration of his social media empire comprising Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. 
The momentum rating of META is 60.72% while its growth rating is 74.91%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

On Tuesday, April 15, U.S. markets closed lower amid ongoing tariff uncertainty and weakness in consumer and healthcare stocks. Gains in Bank of America and Citigroup provided some support, though bank executives warned of risks to consumer spending if trade tensions persist. Boeing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44822589/boeing-stock-is-sliding-tuesday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">fell</a> after China suspended jet deliveries, while the auto and pharmaceutical sectors also came under pressure from new tariff threats.
On the economic front, the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index improved to -8.1 in April from -20 in March. Export prices were unchanged in March, while import prices declined by 0.1% following a 0.2% gain in February.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended the day lower, led by losses in consumer-related stocks, though information technology and real estate outperformed, closing higher amid broader market weakness.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.38% to 40,368.96, the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.17% to 5,396.63, and the Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.05% to 16,823.17.

The company has been eyeing the Indian market for a while, having attempted to enter the space on at least two occasions previously. However, India's steep tariffs on luxury EV imports as well as the government's insistence on Tesla manufacturing their vehicles locally were proving to be a problem for the company.
India has since slashed import tariffs on EVs priced above $35,000 from 110% to 15%, in what is a boost to Musk's India ambitions. Tesla has been expanding its global footprint, having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges">entered the Saudi Arabian market </a>last week.

Gold prices surged to an unprecedented high above $3,300 per ounce on Wednesday as stock market futures declined amid escalating trade tensions between the United States and China.
What Happened: Spot gold jumped 1.72% to $3,306.90, extending its remarkable 23.45% rally since President Donald Trump&#8216;s January inauguration, when the precious metal traded near $2,678.
The rally comes as futures markets signal trouble ahead for equities. Nasdaq-100 futures fell 1.06% to 18,758.75, while S&amp;P 500 futures declined 0.42% to 5,405.25. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures showed minimal loss, down 0.09% to 40,536.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Chinese imports now face tariffs of up to 245% following a series of retaliatory actions between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">the two economic powers</a>. The tariff war has intensified dramatically since Trump took office, beginning with a 20% levy that has progressively increased through multiple rounds of escalation.

Why It Matters: &#8220;China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions,&#8221; according to the White House fact sheet. The latest increase focuses particularly on critical minerals and derivative products that the administration deems essential for U.S. defense <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">capabilities and technological innovation</a>.
The market reaction underscores investor concerns about economic growth prospects as the two largest economies continue their confrontation, driving capital toward traditional safe havens like gold while adding pressure to technology stocks that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830391/us-stock-futures-nikkei-slip-amid-fresh-nvidia-headwinds-dollar-continues-to-lose-steam">depend heavily on global supply chains</a>.
The Dow Jones fell by approximately 156 points to close at 40,368.96 on Tuesday. The S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), declined 0.17% to 5,396.63, while the Nasdaq Composite, tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), edged down 0.05% to 16,823.17.

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44627407/gold-overtaking-bitcoin-in-inflation-hedge-strategy-jpmorgan-says">comparative underperformance against gold</a> so far this year may soon flip, with crypto veteran Anthony Pompliano asserting that historical trends point to a coming surge in Bitcoin returns.
What Happened: <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/1912119591859298613">Speaking</a> on CNBC's Squawk Box on Tuesday, the founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management said the digital asset is "acting like it wants to go higher" and is likely to leave gold behind in the coming months.
"Bitcoin is down about 10% to start the year. Gold's up 20%. But over a one-year period, they're both up about 35%," Pompliano noted. 
He explained that gold typically leads such rallies, followed by a stronger, delayed move from Bitcoin. 
"When gold runs, about 100 days later, Bitcoin not only catches up — it usually runs much harder," he said.
Pompliano emphasized that central banks and institutional investors still largely lean toward gold during geopolitical crises due to regulatory limitations or ingrained risk behavior. 
However, he believes Bitcoin's historical patterns suggest a more explosive upside lies ahead.

Why It Matters: The broader conversation also touched on the evolving nature of Bitcoin adoption.
Pompliano pointed to the growing institutional interest via spot Bitcoin ETFs. 
"There was a sovereign wealth fund that said they got Bitcoin exposure through the ETF. That's meaningful," he said, adding that ETF participation reflects price-based exposure without the custodial or geopolitical complexities of holding the asset directly.
When asked about the Biden and Trump administrations' differing policy stances, Pompliano revealed that he recently spoke with Bo Hines, the executive director of the President&#8217;s Advisory Council for Digital Assets, and was told the U.S. government plans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44816420/trump-administration-is-only-looking-to-accumulate-bitcoin-bo-hines-says">to actively accumulate Bitcoin</a>.
"Not only are they going to have the Bitcoin strategic reserve, they're going to buy as much Bitcoin as they possibly can," Pompliano said.
He likened this government-level accumulation to corporate strategies, stating, "That's like what Michael Saylor does, just in a different format." 
He added that the funding could come from various sources, including tariff revenue or by reallocating gold reserves.
Pompliano closed by pointing to a generational shift in portfolio thinking: "Many people grew up with a 60-40 portfolio mindset. A lot of younger people don't believe in that model anymore. They're putting Bitcoin into that mix."

Bitcoin To Outperform Gold In Coming Months, Says Anthony Pompliano

Citizens Financial Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.75 by 2.67 percent.

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) CFO Roger Dassen explained the impact he expects the tariffs to have on the company in 2025 during an analyst call.
What Happened: On Tuesday, following ASML&#8217;s first-quarter earnings, Dassen answered questions regarding the tariffs and their impact on the company&#8217;s performance.
While stating that the situation was still quite dynamic, Dassen outlined the potential fallout that he foresees across four key areas of the company's supply chain.
The first category he says is the tariffs imposed on complete system shipments into the United States. Followed by tariffs on the parts and tools required for field operations within the U.S., which is the second category.

Third is tariffs on the material imports that it needs to manufacture in its U.S.-based facilities. Dassen notes that the company does &#8220;have some manufacturing capability in the US. So anything related to that would be the third category.&#8221;
Finally, the fourth category pertains to the reciprocal tariffs imposed by other countries on ASML&#8217;s shipments from the United States.
Dassen then mentions the extent to which the tariffs will have an impact on global GDP and on total market demand as another factor to consider. In the end, however, he mentions that the company is doing all it can to ensure that the impact on its finances is &#8220;as limited as possible.&#8221;
Why It Matters: According to ASML&#8217;s 2024 annual report, the company generates a bulk of its sales in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, at 36%, 23%, 15%, and 4%, respectively. 
These are all countries on which the U.S. has imposed reciprocal tariffs, and while tariffs on all but China are paused, analysts such as Ben Barringer of Quilter Cheviot believe the impact will be &#8220;widespread,&#8221; before adding that it was still too early to tell the kind of effect the company will have to CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box Europe.

Price Action: The stock is down 4% in premarket trading on Wednesday, and is down over 30% in the past year.
