<p>Trading in <strong>Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) is quiet on Wednesday. This comes after yesterday's gain of more than 5%. The move was driven by news that activist fund <strong>Elliot Investment Management</strong> has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44820608/hewlett-packard-enterprise-stock-jumps-as-elliott-investment-management-builds-1-5b-stake">invested more than $1.5 billion in Hewlett.</a></p>
<p>There is a chance that the stock continues to move higher. Yesterday's rally may have made the shares ‘breakout' above a resistance level. This is why we have made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.</p>
<p>In the financial markets, there is a tendency for price levels that had been support to convert or turn into resistance levels. As you can see on the chart below, this was the case for the $16.40 level for Hewett. It was at a support level in August and September, and then it became a resistance level in March.</p>
<p>This price action occurs due to ‘buyer's remorse'.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="520" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6-1024x520.png" alt="" class="wp-image-874703" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6-1024x520.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6-768x390.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6-1536x780.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/16110936/one6.png 1614w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></p>

<p>There were people who purchased shares around $16.40 who thought their decision to do so was a good one when the stock rallied after. But when the support broke in March and the price moved lower, some of these traders and investors came to regret their decision to buy.</p>
<p>Some of them decided to hold on to their losing positions. But they also decided that if they could eventually sell their shares at breakeven, they would. As a result, when Hewlett rallied back to this price they placed sell orders.</p>
<p>There were so many of these sell orders that it caused resistance to form at the price that had previously been support.</p>
<p>You can see on the chart that the $14.50 level had been support in November 2023 and January 2024. It was also support in March. After this support was broken and the shares reversed back up to $14.50, it converted into resistance like the $16.40 level did.</p>
<p>But yesterday's move appears to have broken this resistance.</p>
<p>Resistance breaking can be a bullish dynamic. It shows that the people who formed the resistance with their sell orders have either finished or canceled.</p>
<p>With this large amount of sellers or supply out of the market, buyers may be forced to pay premiums and outbid each other to draw sellers back in. This could result in Hewett continuing to move higher.</p>

<p><strong>Johnson &amp; Johnson </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44812561/johnson-johnson-q1-earnings-strong-cancer-drug-sales-boosts-quarterly-dividend-anticipates-negative-currency-impact-for-2025-profit">upbeat first-quarter results</a> on Wednesday.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/67f5483f584c820001291ac6/asad-haider%20">Analyst Asad Haider</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $172.</p>
<p>Despite Stelara sales declining due to the arrival of biosimilars in the market, the company reported impressive results across the Innovative Medicines business, Haider said in a note. The results and guidance highlight the power of the company's pharma portfolio, with upside drivers comprising "established products across the company's industry-leading multiple myeloma franchise, the Immunology franchise, as well emerging new product-cycles that we are monitoring in oncology and neuroscience." </p>
<p>Management raised its full-year sales guidance by $1.8 billion at the midpoint to a range of $91.0 billion to $91.8 billion, Haider stated. He expects the company to outperform the current consensus for sales in 2025 and 2026.</p>

<p><strong>RBC Capital Markets On Johnson &amp; Johnson</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/606ed90d9e63ea0001ef8211/shagun-singh">Analyst Shagun Singh</a> reiterated an Outperform rating and price target of $181.</p>
<p>Although Johnson &amp; Johnson reported its sales and earnings ahead of expectations, its stock declined due to lower-than-expected MedTech growth and gross margins missing consensus by 290 basis points, Singh said.</p>
<p>"JNJ quantified tariff exposure ($400MM or 1.9% of MedTech sales, no pharma) that gave investors some reprieve and also indicated that healthcare is fairly recession-proof with no signs yet of an impact on elective procedures or prescription coverage," the analyst wrote. Management's 2025 guidance reflected healthy earnings growth of 6.2% despite Stelara's loss of exclusivity, he added.</p>
<p><strong>Guggenheim Securities On Johnson &amp; Johnson</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e48c6351b9b00018beef0/steven-forbes">Analyst Steven Forbes</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating on the stock.</p>
<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson reported first-quarter sales of $21.89 billion, beating consensus of $21.56 billion, and earnings of $2.77 per share surpassing consensus of $2.58 per share, Forbes said. "The beat appears to be mainly driven by higher total revenue, lower R&amp;D and SG&amp;A expenses, and higher interest and other income," he added.</p>
<p>The Innovative Medicines segment delivered a strong performance, while Stelara and the Invega products performed below expectations. "We do not believe the 1Q 2025 results fundamentally change the overall JNJ story, with investors likely focusing more on current macro factors (e.g., tariffs, taxes, healthcare utilization, etc&#8230;), and their impact on JNJ and its peers, and potentially less focus than usual on JNJ&#8217;s current growth drivers and pipeline assets," Forbes wrote.</p>
<p><strong>JNJ Price Action:</strong> Shares of Johnson &amp; Johnson had declined by 0.47% to $152.90&nbsp;at the time of publication on Wednesday.</p>

A Preview Of Acme United's Earnings

<p>Among the so-called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven"><strong>Magnificent Seven</strong> tech giants</a>, <strong>Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) holds a rare and ironic distinction: it's been beaten the hardest so far this year, yet it's the only one still standing with gains for the month.</p>
<p>While <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>), <strong>Nvidia Corp</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <strong>Apple Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), <strong>Microsoft Corp. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), <strong>Meta Platforms Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and <strong>Amazon.com Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) all sport negative month-to-date performances in 2025, Tesla is the lone green candle.</p>
<p>The electric vehicle giant is up 6.76% MTD, but that's after being down 33% so far this year.</p>
<p><strong>Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44834045/tesla-touts-fsd-capabilities-elon-says-predicts-cars-will-soon-drive-itself-right-to-your-house">Tesla Touts FSD Capabilities, Elon Says Predicts Cars Will Soon &#8216;Drive Itself Right To Your House&#8217;</a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Worst To (Sort Of) First</h2>
<p>Tesla's YTD performance reads like a comeback arc written for a Wall Street soap opera. No other Magnificent Seven stock has come close to the rollercoaster volatility that CEO Elon Musk's empire has endured. Nvidia stock, for instance, is down 18.88% YTD. Meta stockholders have been slapped with a nearly 12.97% loss. And even Apple, the tech titan with the largest market cap on Earth, is nursing a 17.10% drop YTD.</p>
<p>However, despite Tesla's shaky fundamentals, sky-high valuation (forward P/E of 100), ongoing scrutiny over demand, pricing and Musk's Twitter antics, the market seems unwilling to count the company out.</p>
<p>On a month-to-date basis, it is the only Mag 7 stock that is up 6.76%. Apple stock is down 5.54% MTD, Meta stock is 13.78%, and Microsoft stock is 0.76%.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Mojo Vs. Market Malaise</h2>
<p>What gives? Some of Tesla's rebound can be chalked up to short covering, speculative trading and renewed optimism over the company's AI and robotics ambitions.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the rest of the Mag 7 are getting dragged down by tariff troubles.</p>
<p>In a month where every other Mag 7 member is nursing wounds, Tesla somehow managed to walk away bloodied &#8211; but technically victorious. </p>
<p>It's not the kind of win investors dream of, but in this market, staying green might just be the new gold.</p>

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
<p>Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google.
