Shares of companies in the braoder consumer discretionary sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) shares are tumbling on Thursday amid rising trade tensions between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">United States and China</a>.
What To Know: Nike shares are down about 25% over the past month as Trump administration tariffs threaten the company's supply chain. Nike imports most of its products from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. 
President Donald Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on numerous nations last week. The Trump administration slapped 46% reciprocal tariffs on Vietnam, 34% tariffs on China and 32% tariffs on Indonesia. 
Trump has since announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for a majority of countries, but the ongoing trade war with China has intensified in recent days. 
CNBC said Thursday morning on &#8220;Money Movers&#8221; that a White House official confirmed that the total tariff rate against China has grown to 145% as the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies continues to escalate.

China&#8217;s commerce ministry reportedly said Thursday that it&#8217;s open to discussions with the U.S. on the basis of mutual respect but will continue to push back against tariffs if the U.S. continues down the path it&#8217;s currently on, per Reuters.
The report indicates that China commerce&nbsp;ministry spokesperson He Yongqian said threats and blackmail attempts from the U.S. are not the right way to try to make a deal with China. He reportedly said China will &#8220;follow through to the end&#8221; if the U.S. does not change its course. 
Nike shares rallied alongside the broader market on Wednesday after Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs. The stock is giving back its gains on Thursday. 
Stifel analyst Jim Duffy maintained Nike with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Hold rating</a> on Thursday and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$75&nbsp;to&nbsp;$64.
NKE Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nke" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nike shares</a> were down 10.3% at $53.18 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Stifel Maintains Hold on Nike, Lowers Price Target to $64

Hedge fund titan Bill Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square Holdings, a closed-end fund listed on the London Stock Exchange, is down 14% year-to-date, owing to tariff-related market volatility.
The losses, however, have only been calculated through April 8th, and don&#8217;t include the massive rally on Wednesday.
What Happened: Ackman&#8217;s fund allocates capital across 8 to 12 stocks, which are usually large-cap, liquid, and North American-based. 
The fund&#8217;s holdings during the past couple of months, comprising Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), and Hilton Hotels Corp. (NYSE:&nbsp;HLT), among others, none of which have performed well over the past few months, posting year-to-date declines of 19.48%, 14.96%, and 10.80%, respectively.

Even its relatively well-insulated holdings, such as Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>), haven&#8217;t performed too well, declining 15.51% and 11% year-to-date, respectively.
Holdings gained during this period include Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Federal National Mortgage Association (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>), gaining 15.05%, 75%, and 49.85%, respectively.
Why It Matters: Bill Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square Holdings has generated a <a href="https://pershingsquareholdings.com/performance/net-asset-value-and-returns/">compounded annual NAV</a> return of 22.2% over the past five years. Ackman is also known for generating one of the industry&#8217;s highest returns of 70.2% in 2020, betting that the market would crash during the COVID-19 pandemic, making $2.2 billion for his investors.
This has positioned him as a trendsetter in the industry, whose portfolio is regularly watched to understand where the market is headed. He is also one of the most outspoken individuals on Wall Street, having made the news several times over the past few days alone.
On Wednesday, Bill Ackman praised Trump for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44723751/billionaire-investor-bill-ackman-praises-trumps-tariff-pause-thank-you-on-behalf-of-all-americans">pausing the tariffs</a>, before that he <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44661978/bill-ackman-blames-market-collapse-on-tariff-timing-says-trump-advisor-should-be-fired-now-predicts-a-lot-more-than-5-dip">criticized the timing</a> of the tariffs, <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44662730/bill-ackman-slams-commerce-secretary-lutnick-for-ignoring-stock-market-crash-he-and-cantor-are-long-bonds">slammed Commerce Secretary</a> Howard Lutnick, and more, all over the past week.

Shares of consumer discretionary stocks are trading higher after President Trump issued a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China, which may reduce risks towards the consumer economy.

Editor's Note: This article was corrected to remove an inaccurate statement regarding Mullen Automotive.
Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street reeled this week as President Donald Trump's new global tariffs and hawkish Fed signals rattled investors. The tariffs triggered broad selloffs, dragging the S&amp;P 500 to its worst weekly loss since the pandemic's onset in 2020.
Stocks tumbled Thursday and Friday, with tech and consumer names especially hard-hit, as traders braced for higher costs and retaliatory trade risks. Concerns mounted over how renewed trade tensions could disrupt supply chains and weigh on corporate margins.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials signaled fewer rate cuts ahead, compounding fears and sending bond yields higher, further pressuring equities across sectors.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Shares of the companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid US-China trade announcements and overall market weakness, which is clouding certainty around consumer spending and the state of the economy.

U.S. Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&nbsp;(R-Ga.) has been buying the sharp pullback in markets spurred by President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44678625/did-trump-team-manipulate-tariff-formula-to-achieve-higher-rates-experts-weigh-in-as-they-think-whole-thing-was-rigged">tariff announcement last week</a>.

Greene has developed a strong relationship with Trump and Tesla&#8217;s Elon Musk, and has a role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
After disclosing the purchase of shares of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF last month, Greene appears to be ramping up bets on some of the names that sold off on tariff-related concerns.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Buys The Dip: Congresswoman Purchases Shares Of Apple, Amazon, Nike And More Following Tariff-Related Sell-Off

Brands that rely on the Asia-Pacific region to produce apparel goods are likely trying to find ways to mitigate the impact of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reciprocal tariff plan</a>,
The average pre-mitigation headwinds to gross margin and EPS are 670bps and 65%, respectively.
On the worse end of the EPS-impact spectrum, Needham &amp; Co.&#8217;s analyst Tom Nikic noted Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>), VF Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), and Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>). Those companies have relatively low margin structures given their recent struggles. 
As a result, these three companies have little &#8220;cushion&#8221; to absorb incremental tariffs. Nikic noted that the pre-mitigation headwinds will wipe out the companies&#8217; EPS power.

The least impacted brands in Nikic&#8217;s coverage? Ralph Lauren Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) and Foot Locker, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>). The company has a significant international presence and high-margin P&amp;L. This will likely result in just a 20-25% pre-mitigation headwind to EPS, he predicts.
Nikic also noted that Ralph Lauren has a strong recent track record of raising prices (eight straight years of rising average unit retail prices in the DTC channel). The analyst is confident that they can do so if necessary.
Nikic also highlighted Foot Locker. Suppliers import the sneakers they sell, so they have very little direct exposure. They have an indirect risk of being forced to &#8220;share in the pain&#8221; of their tariff-addled suppliers, but at least they are one step removed from the tariffs themselves.
The analyst also does not expect to see an in-sourcing of manufacturing to the U.S., as it would be highly challenging to build the manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and to find labor with enough expertise to work in U.S.-based apparel/footwear factories.

CVNA

A chaotic and volatile session kicked off the new week on Wall Street, with a start that offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">little reason for optimism.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 opened with a gap below 4,900 points, then fiercely rebounded in the first hour of trading before the gains swiftly evaporated. Sentiment further deteriorated after Donald Trump adopted a more aggressive tone toward China.
On Truth Social, Trump stated that China had imposed retaliatory tariffs of 34%, on top of what he described as already record-setting tariffs, despite prior warnings that such measures would be met with significantly higher U.S. tariffs. He added that if China did not reverse the 34% hike by April 8, the United States would respond with additional tariffs of 50%, effective the following day.
He also indicated that all discussions with China regarding their requested meetings would be terminated, while negotiations with other countries that had expressed interest in talks would begin immediately.
The European Union signaled openness to implementing a zero-for-zero tariff agreement on industrial goods with the United States.
By 12:40 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 was down 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.2%, and the Dow dropped 1.4%. Every sector remained in the red, with real estate and materials leading the losses.
In commodities, gold slipped 1.2%, heading for its third consecutive session of declines, while oil prices fell 2.3% to $60 a barrel, now down 16% from last week&#8217;s highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had been spared from last week&#8217;s global market rout, joined the bloodbath over the weekend, dropping 6.4% on Sunday and holding at $78,000 on Monday.

Wall Street Turmoil Deepens As Trump Threatens Massive China Tariffs, Bitcoin Wobbles At $78K: What's Driving Markets Monday?

BIRD

SHOO

Shares of consumer discretionary stocks are trading lower amid continued market volatility on tariff concerns, which have driven economic uncertainty. Tariffs could disrupt supply chains and raise prices, while an economic slowdown could weaken consumer demand.

BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO, Larry Fink believes that America&#8217;s plans for a manufacturing resurgence have several shortcomings that tariffs alone may not address. This includes unfavorable demographics and a deeply flawed immigration policy, among other things.
What Happened: Speaking at CERAWeek, an annual energy conference organized by S&amp;P Global Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPGI#NYSE">SPGI</a>) nearly a month ago, Fink highlighted the country&#8217;s labor shortages, which are only set to get worse with the new administration&#8217;s immigration policies and an increasingly tough stance on illegal immigration.
Fink said that the pace at which deportations are taking place will have a severe impact on the agriculture sector, with not nearly enough hands to harvest the crops when spring arrives. 
&#8220;70% of the men and women who work in agriculture were not born in the United States, he says, and while several of them are U.S. citizens, or have work permits, many of them do not.&#8221; It&#8217;s a similar scenario for construction, with 40% of workers not born in the country, putting them at risk of deportation.

The famed pioneer of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles further states that this will have an inflationary effect on the economy. Fink also mentions having emphasized the current &#8216;shortage of electricians to build AI data centers&#8217; to members of the Trump team.

This was a shot at the Donald Trump administration&#8217;s plans for reindustrialization in the U.S. The BlackRock CEO is treading cautiously on the political front, as evidenced by <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/investor-relations/larry-fink-annual-chairmans-letter">his recent annual letter</a> that shies away from any mention of Trump, tariffs, ESG, DEI, or climate change.
Why It Matters: Several other business leaders, analysts, and industry experts have highlighted the improbability of bringing manufacturing back in its entirety to the United States.
Financial commentator Peter Schiff, was one such notable voice last week, who said that it would cost Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) more to manufacture in the U.S. than it would to just pay the tariffs and pass on the costs to consumers while exploring other markets to make up for lost sales
The biggest roadblock for U.S. manufacturing is shortages in skilled labor. According to a <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/manufacturers-have-plenty-of-jobs-but-few-takers/">recent report</a> by Bain &amp; Company, nearly 50% of manufacturing workers in the country are aged 50 and above, and 25% are aged 55 and above, but as they start to retire, there aren&#8217;t enough Gen Z workers to fill these jobs.
According to a report by <a href="https://themanufacturinginstitute.org/">The Manufacturing Institute</a>, there is a monumental shortage of workers in the U.S. today for jobs that require more than a high-school diploma, but less than a four-year college degree. The candidates for such jobs were immigrants, but now that too is no longer an option for the industry.
At 340 million, the United States has a <a href="https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/">lot bigger workforce today</a> than it did during its Industrial Revolution in the early 1900s, but the country today is very different culturally and demographically. 
For one, the percentage of the country&#8217;s population between the ages of 15 and 30 stands at 20% today, as opposed to 54% in the 1900s. Besides this, back-breaking manufacturing jobs are no longer sought after by the nation&#8217;s youth, not that they ever were.

Deep Dive Into Nike Stock: Analyst Perspectives (22 Ratings)

Shares of clothing and footwear retailers are climbing on Friday after President Donald Trump revealed that Vietnam is interested in negotiations<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector"> to reduce tariffs. </a>
The Details: President Trump said in <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114280292618523684">a post</a> on Truth Social that he had a "very productive call" with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam regarding possible negotiations to eliminate tariffs.&nbsp;
"Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S. I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future," Trump wrote.

Trump announced a steep 46% tariff on goods imported from Vietnam on Wednesday afternoon, which led to broad declines across the retail sector, which relies heavily on manufacturing in Vietnam. 
What Else: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/vietnam-asks-us-to-postpone-tariff-and-engage-in-negotiations-m923qrv7">report </a>from earlier Friday morning, Vietnam had asked the Trump administration to delay the 46% tariff on Vietnamese goods for up to three months to enable further negotiations to take place.
Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc said that Vietnam would look to purchase more U.S.-made goods, including technology, in order to balance the trade relationship, according to a statement on the government's website.&nbsp;
Other government and central bank officials stated that Vietnam would consider removing trade barriers and taxes while continuing discussions with the United States, according to Bloomberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stocks React: Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), which manufactures about 25% of its goods in Vietnam, saw its stock pop more than 5% on the news Friday.&nbsp;

Trump Reveals Vietnam Trade Talks As Nike Stock Rallies On Surprise Turnaround

Nike's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.2% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 36.57 million shares sold short, which is 3.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.3 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
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.

<h3>Nike Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743789782_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nike has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nike's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Nike's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
