<p><strong>Google</strong> parent <strong>Alphabet, Inc.</strong> (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>) announced on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement to acquire cloud security platform <strong>Wiz</strong> for $32 billion. Experts weigh in on Google's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44376743/google-parent-alphabet-to-acquire-wiz-in-32-billion-deal-its-biggest-bet-yet"> largest acquisition ever.&nbsp;</a></p>
<p><strong>Expert Ideas:</strong> J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth sees the Wiz acquisition as strengthening Google's cybersecurity suit and allowing for safer and more efficient multicloud operations.  </p>
<p>"We believe the Wiz acquisition will further strengthen Google's multicloud value proposition &amp; deepen its enterprise relationships as Wiz is used by over 50% of Fortune 100 companies," the analyst wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anmuth noted the expected closing date for the deal is 2026 and believes the longer-than-usual closing reflects the regulatory scrutiny the acquisition will face. He sees the deal as a type of bellwether for the Trump administration's tolerance for large-scale mergers and acquisitions, which will have broader implications for other large-cap tech companies. </p>
<p>&#8220;This deal will get careful scrutiny,&#8221; <strong>Michael Carrier</strong>, an antitrust law professor at Rutgers Law School, told Yahoo Finance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;But at the end of the day, I believe it is likely to be approved given an anticipated less aggressive blocking of mergers and the AI angle,&#8221; Carrier added.&nbsp;</p>
<p>GOOG shares fell 2.34% on Tuesday following the announcement of the deal, which is Google's largest ever and also the largest ever in the cybersecurity sector.&nbsp;</p>

Beyond The Numbers: 7 Analysts Discuss Align Technology Stock

<p>Nicknamed "Larry," a 560-pound <strong>Twitter </strong>blue bird logo from the San Francisco headquarters is up for auction.

He later renamed the company <strong>X</strong>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33400999/musks-unprecedented-rebrand-of-twitter-to-x-could-cost-100-million-trademark-specialist-labels-it-th">changed the company's logo</a>.</p>
<p>While many still call the social media platform Twitter, their messages on the app tweets, the official Twitter name and blue bird logo is dead to Musk and the company.</p>
<p>As spotted by <a href="https://www.engadget.com/social-media/the-560-pound-twitter-logo-from-its-san-francisco-headquarters-is-up-for-auction-180326992.html?src=rss">Engadget</a>, RR Auctions is <a href="https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/349988607146320-twitter-inc-official-bird-logo-fascia-sign-an-iconic-fixture-from-the-companys-market-square-headquarters-in-san-francisco/">auctioning </a>off the 12-foot-tall by eight-foot-long logo that previously adorned the San Francisco headquarters. The sign is one of two birds that was previously located at the headquarters on Market Street.</p>
<p>"Incredible official Twitter Inc. ‘bird log' fascia sign formerly displayed on the exterior of the social media giant's San Francisco headquarters – obtained from Elon Musk's ‘rebranding auction' in September 2023," the auction listing reads.</p>
<p>According to the listing, the company nicknamed the logo Larry after former NBA great Larry Bird.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, the high bid is at $21,664 with the auction set to end on Aug. 20. RR Auctions has an estimated value of $40,000 for the listing, suggesting bids could nearly double in the coming days. </p>
<p>The auction winner will be responsible for the costs of moving the sign from a storage facility in San Francisco.</p>
<p>The auction includes a YouTube video showing the work done to remove the logo from the building, including a crane and multiple workers.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Why It's Important</strong>: After the rebranding, Musk decided to sell off many old Twitter logos and office products.</p>
<p>Among the most coveted were the large Twitter logos. A large Twitter logo from inside the office sold for $100,000. The outside logos sold for undisclosed prices.</p>
<p>While the company has a new name and logo, the iconic Twitter logo and blue bird memorabilia could become sought after by collectors for years, similar to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43926987/steve-jobs-signed-apple-business-card-valued-at-60000-sells-for-much-more-at-auction-heres-the-winning-bid"> old business cards,</a> magazines and autographs of top technology CEOs and founders.</p>

<p>&#8220;What do you believe is a fair valuation for X (formerly Twitter)?&#8221; Benzinga asked.</p>
<p>The results were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Less than $20 Billion: 45%</li>
<li>$41-$75 Billion: 24%</li>
<li>Over $75 Billion: 16%</li>
<li>$21-$40 Billion: 15%</li>
</ul>
<p>Nearly half of the voters in the poll said X should be valued at less than $20 billion. That represents a valuation of less than half of what Musk paid for the company back in 2022.</p>

<p>Speculators are dialing back expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025 ahead of the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting, as inflation concerns cast doubt on the central bank's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44364688/feds-march-meeting-expected-to-signal-no-hurry-on-rate-cuts-as-powell-likely-to-tread-carefully">willingness to ease policy.</a></p>
<p>Data from Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated betting platform, indicates that traders are shifting bets toward fewer than three rate cuts. </p>
<p>The most favored scenario now anticipates two cuts, carrying a 24% implied probability. Notably, the likelihood of just one rate cut jumped seven percentage points in a single day to 19%.</p>
<p>Betting-implied odds currently indicate that the most preferred outcome among retail bettors is two rate cuts at a 24% implied chance.</p>
<p>The Fed's December &#8220;dot plot&#8221; signaled a median expectation for two rate cuts in 2025, a downgrade from the four cuts it had projected in September. </p>
<p>While retail bettors have turned more cautious, broader financial markets remain slightly more optimistic. Fed funds futures, tracked by the CME FedWatch tool, fully price in three rate cuts by December 2024, with a 35% probability of a fourth cut. </p>
<p>This discrepancy suggests that institutional investors may still believe in a more accommodative Fed policy than retail traders do.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What's Driving The Shift?</strong></h3>
<p>One factor weighing on rate-cut expectations is the risk that the Fed could revise inflation projections higher, particularly in response to higher trade tariffs mandated by President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>. </p>
<p>December, the central bank had already raised its 2025 inflation forecast, projecting headline Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation at 2.5%, up from 2.1% in September. Core PCE inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, was also revised up to 2.5% from 2.2%.</p>
<p>According to both Bank of America and Goldman Sachs estimates, inflation estimates could be upwardly revised to 2.7% on Wednesday. </p>
<p>Betting-implied odds tracked by Kalshi reveal that speculators expect inflation to average 3% in 2025. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Dovish Tilt Or Continued Caution?</h3>
<p>Federal Reserve Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong> has maintained a wait-and-see stance. Last week, he reiterated that the Fed does not need to rush into rate changes, reinforcing the need for more economic clarity before making any moves.</p>
<p>The consensus among economists is that the Fed will hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% at this week's meeting. Betting markets imply a near-unanimous probability of no change, but the focus will be on the Fed's revised economic outlook.</p>
<p>"The Fed will most likely indicate they remain data dependent," <strong>Chris Fasciano</strong>, chief market strategist at Commonwealth Financial Network, said in an email.</p>
<p>"Considering the better-than-expected CPI and PPI data released last week, if this trend continues it should allow the Fed to continue their rate cut path later in the year."</p>
<p>"The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to stay put this month. The market's focus will be on the guidance and the updated FOMC forecast," said <strong>Julien Lafargue,</strong> chief market strategist at Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management.</p>
<p>He added that the Fed's projections may reflect weaker GDP growth, but the dot plot is unlikely to show a major shift.</p>
<p>The U.S. dollar index – as tracked by the <strong>Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – fell to a six-month low on Tuesday, as fears over U.S. economic performance persist among investors. </p>

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Cheniere Energy

<p>Uncertainty has taken over the market. Business and consumer sentiment data are souring as markets tumble and tariff policy continues to lack rhyme or reason. The St Louis Fed's US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index has spiked to its highest level since December 2020. The University of Michigan Survey of Consumers dropped nearly 10% from January to February and is now down 17% year-over-year.</p>
<p>Business owners continue to mention tariff uncertainty in surveys. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index fell in February while the NFIB Uncertainty Index rose to its second-highest recorded level. Complicating matters are increasing inflation expectations for 2025, which could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot between cutting rates to spur growth or keeping rates unchanged to limit higher prices. </p>
<p>This precarious cocktail has investors on edge as U.S. stocks lag global markets. While it&#8217;s too soon to talk about a recession being imminent, it&#8217;s a good time to start thinking defensively.</p>
<p><strong>Here are five stocks with solid fundamentals in sectors that tend to do well when the economy slows.</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Republic Services Inc.</strong> </h2>
<p>When investors think of waste management services, they usually conjure the aptly-named Waste Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WM#NYSE">WM</a>). However, the lesser-known Republic Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSG#NYSE">RSG</a>) also runs integrated commercial, residential and industrial solid waste services with over 200 landfills and an additional 246 transfer stations. Contrasted to its larger rival WM, RSG has a comparable P/E ratio, better margins and a significantly better Price to Free Cash Flow (P/FCF) per Share (35.05 vs 41.89). The stock has also increased over 27% in the last 12 months, compared to just 8.7% for WM shares.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeQYUQ7_3cydY16LLDXhy3tPx67ZBSbD7zAXm0LZSi_YK4jG4znK7-82n9tBY5nW0cqOW7is2NPxTCd_cARmCuMp4QR8eNg7kqvhrXpbLNFEC4kUxm6UeZZqvS3ZrUS1B9-0NtJPQ?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>RSG shares pulled back in the first week of March, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) recently diverged upward, indicating that volume may be accumulating for the next leg higher. RSG also scores well in two crucial Benzinga Edge metrics: 86.20 in Momentum and 88.57 in Quality. On March 4, analysts at CIBC upgraded the stock from Neutral to Outperform, with a price target of $265. UBS, Goldman Sachs and Stifel also boosted price targets on the stock in the last month.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc.</strong> </h2>
<p>Dollar stores and discount retailers are often popular picks during economic slowdowns. Still, investors must be careful in this environment not to count on stocks with thin margins and heavy reliance on imports. Ollie's Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLLI#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>) is a purveyor of excess buildup, meaning it purchases overstocked or overproduced items from manufacturers and wholesalers and sells them at its warehouses at a deep discount.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfcG4FxVYqcba9omEUNAKhflz5JRExFu1Px6XY5nPkQcPj67Y-TVlR7m6_ZlshjheXqH-h9pqOR38SrnD7MdEu0b4YSeZYeJwzQDKHNFYHShJVJsOyvNU8z4qDFgWmZtPRSpp08LA?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Ollie's business model gives it a leg up over traditional discount retailers like Dollar Tree. The company's 9% profit margin towers over figures from Dollar Tree, Dollar General and even larger chains like Walmart and Target. Ollie's has boosted revenue by nearly 8% year-over-year, but the stock is down almost 10% in the last three months.</p>
<p>However, as the chart above shows, a buying opportunity could be materializing right now. The upward momentum has stalled, but a bullish wedge is forming, which could signal buyers are consolidating in preparation for a new breakout. Keep an eye on this pattern for a potential breakout as the price range continues to condense.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kimberly-Clark Corp. </strong></h2>
<p>Household products like paper towels, toilet paper, hygiene products, detergents and other cleaning supplies have very inelastic demand, so these companies are often popular investments during recessions or economic slowdowns. Kimberly-Clark Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) is our pick for this particular industry thanks to its attractive valuation, strong dividend and potential breakout from a multi-year trading range.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe-m4j-kU00Tja9IKDpC0ML9BehtIIiHcg_Khf25LWmceJmSwZPKUigPpvh_NxgYsCwZngce9DWDIFOzAVATHMzu0VkQQDJnwaUC8ZHpMBDVtQLNa6u25Fx6_7_M1th3U1ieBQ50A?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>KMB shares recently reached a nearly five-year high, smashing through a resistance level that had been in place since the end of 2020. This promising technical signal is supported by strong fundamental data as well. KMB trades at just 19 times earnings, far lower than competitors like Proctor and Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive. It also trades at just 2.4 times sales while maintaining a healthy 12.7% profit margin. KMB pays a 3.5% dividend and the recent breakout has boosted its Benzinga Edge Momentum score to 71.54 &#8211; a rare occurrence in the consumer staples sector.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Unum Group</strong> </h2>
<p>Here's an insurance company that very few investors have heard about but has the prettiest-looking chart of the bunch. Unum Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNM#NYSE">UNM</a>) provides individual income protection plans to clients in the United States, United Kingdom and Poland while also offering long-term care, life and employee-benefit insurance plans through segments like Colonial Life and Closed Block.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdknAMM85XGJH8djOqkIt-uokaPzFLoS-Iv7YSxhVd04dtjb74hN7kl6219XOMHhTQmGfzDsvfpNbR72bwlBbkPS1k6hINLxoO1eCGpJme2MxixnPxzuqHp2vryBg0MQS1b9A2n?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Unum Group performed exceptionally well during the 2022 bear market, posting positive gains when most stocks suffered prolonged drawdowns. UNM shares staged a rally in 2024 and have risen by over 60% in the last 12 months. From a fundamental standpoint, the company is in a strong position with 1.27 P/B Value Per Share, 8.3 P/E ratio and 13.9% profit margin. UNM shares also grade out exceptionally well in three crucial Benzinga Edge metrics: Momentum (94.60), Value (89.28) and Quality (84.32).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Berkshire Hathaway Inc.</strong></h2>
<p>When Uncle Warren starts raising cash, investors start paying attention. The Oracle of Omaha has been selling stock to increase Berkshire's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) cash pile, and while a 94-year-old insurance CEO may have different investment goals than the rest of us, it&#8217;s worth noting when Buffett begins stacking dry powder.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc-bLC_d9K-RvtDyN99OcIiYYgI6WjcwCG67aV6slY2NIeGDqcU2N7BywlpEWDUzQZb7zi1f-wpQoiSiwpw1f-NsuVs-Dr2nMAl6nZQ312bH3LGPs0kRmEckODPZ51eaJrONLSa?key=95UsgwGzx44WuMDzrgOVhBOD" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Buffett's cash pile is not unusual considering his long-term track record. While Buffett praises buy-and-hold strategies for retail investors, he himself has always been a bit of a market timer. His cash horde suggests he's waiting for volatility to wane before putting new capital to work.</p>
<p>Whether a recession materializes or not, stocks like BRK.B are good places to harbor while waiting for calmer waters to return. Berkshire's free cash flow pile stands at an impressive $11.6 billion with the stock trading at 12 times earnings. The insurance giant also grades well in Benzinga Edge in terms of Momentum (82.74) and Value (73.69). The stock chart shows some consolidation over the last week and the upward trend remains in place.</p>
