Why Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Stock Is Moving Higher Monday

A leading retailer executive is sending warning signs on consumer spending in the wake of higher egg prices, tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">and higher inflation.</a>
What Happened: Weeks after Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">fourth-quarter financial results,</a> the company's CEO is sending warnings about macroeconomic concerns.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said budget-conscious consumers are changing their spending habits as food prices stay high.
"You can see that the money runs out before the month is gone, you can see that people are buying smaller pack sizes at the end of the month," McMillon said at the Economic Club of Chicago recently, as <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2025/03/01/walmart-ceo-warns-food-prices-are-causing-frustration-and-pain/">reported </a>by the Boston Herald.
McMillon said American consumers are looking for value when making their purchases.
While some items have come down in price, McMillon said food prices on items, including eggs remain elevated and are leading to consumers changing their spending habits.
"There are lots of income levels in this country — if you're at the lower end of that scale, you are feeling more frustration and pain because of higher food prices. They've persisted for years now, and you're just tired of it."

Why It's Important: McMillon's comments come after Walmart's guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43869433/walmart-expects-slower-growth-in-an-uncertain-time-cfo-says-on-earnings-call">signaled uncertainty over </a>macroeconomic conditions.
Walmart CFO John David Rainey said a higher level of uncertainty led to the company's cautious guidance.
"We have to acknowledge that we are in an uncertain time. And we don't want to get out over our skis here. There's a lot of the year to play out," Rainey said.
Rainey said tariffs create more uncertainty with food prices already high. The CFO said the retailer will work hard to "keep prices low."
"We are not immune to what is being suggested, but we'll work with suppliers."
Rainey said egg prices were a bit of an anomaly and could work itself out over time.
The comments also come after January inflation jumped the most since August 2023, with the rising price in the cost of eggs one of the contributing factors.
Other retailers facing high inflation and changing consumer spending have shared comments on Trump's tariff plans in recent months, including Dollar Tree Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) CEO Mike Creedon.
Creedon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">said the retailer</a> could increase prices or change its product assortment due to Trump's tariffs. The CEO highlighted potential changes to pack sizes as one way to fight off tariffs.
"We believe there is a wide range of potential actions that we can take to help mitigate additional tariffs if and when they materialize," Creedon previously said.
Based on comments from Walmart and Dollar Tree, consumers are already buying smaller pack sizes in some cases with high food costs at stores and inflation still a major concern. With smaller pack sizes already being bought and consumers running out of money by month&#8217;s end, tariffs that could see prices rise could be a large concern for consumers.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock is down 3.47% to $88.50 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $58.56 to $105.30. Walmart stock is down 1.6% year-to-date in 2025 and up 46% over the last year.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Dick's Sporting Goods Price Expectations Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) shares are trading lower. The company on Monday announced a deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44218665/servicenow-eyes-3-billion-ai-deal-targets-boost-from-moveworks-chatbot-tech">to acquire Moveworks</a>.
What Happened: ServiceNow announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Moveworks for $2.85 billion. The deal brings together ServiceNow&#8217;s agentic AI and automation strengths with Moveworks&#8217; front-end AI assistant and enterprise search technology.
The acquisition is expected to help the company create a powerful universal AI assistant and introduce more perceptive AI-based enterprise search. The combined offering is expected to drive use of the company&#8217;s agentic AI ServiceNow Platform to accelerate enterprise adoption and innovation, including across customer relationship management. 
&#8220;With the acquisition of Moveworks, ServiceNow will take another giant leap forward in agentic AI-powered business transformation,&#8221; said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer and chief product officer at ServiceNow. 
&#8220;As agentic AI and enterprise-grade search forever change how we work, ServiceNow moved early to empower employees through AI. Moveworks&#8217; talented team and elegant AI-first experience, combined with ServiceNow&#8217;s powerful AI-driven workflow automation, will supercharge enterprise-wide AI adoption and deliver game-changing outcomes for employees and their customers.&#8221;
Under terms of the agreement, ServiceNow will pay Moveworks $2.85 billion through a combination of cash and stock. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025. 
It&#8217;s worth noting that some of the selloff in ServiceNow shares is likely tied to broader market weakness. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was leading declines at last check on fears of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44216011/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-trump-hints-at-looming-recession-expert-says-cant-rule-out-a-bear-market-as-indices-inch-towards-correction-territory">potential recession</a> due to tariffs from the Trump administration.

Shares of WhiteHorse Finance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHF#NASDAQ">WHF</a>) remained volatile after the company announced its fourth-quarter results.
The company's dividend policy is in focus after its NII (net interest income) fell short of expectations, according to JPMorgan.
The WhiteHorse Finance Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f117a5099d25a0001e0ff6c/melissa-wedel">Analyst Melissa Wedel</a> reaffirmed an Underweight rating, while reducing the price target from $9.50 to $9.00.
The WhiteHorse Finance Thesis: The company reported its fourth-quarter NII at 34 cents per share. It missed the consensus of 39 cents per share.
NAV (net asset value) declined by 3.6% sequentially to $12.31 per share, Wedel said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Management declared a regular quarterly distribution of 38.5 cents per share for the first quarter, the analyst stated. 
She added, however, that management indicated they were still evaluating the portfolio's earnings power in the near to medium term, which leaves some doubts about the dividend being reduced, "especially with $28.4M of spillover income remaining after the special dividend was paid in 4Q."
The board may also decide to "use spillover income to supplement NII and support the dividend at current levels," Wedel stated. 
"In either scenario, we expect investors will remain focused on dividend coverage through NII and credit trends with headwinds to multiple expansion until dividend coverage through NII is achieved and NAV stabilizes," she further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of WhiteHorse Finance had declined by 0.6% to $9.98 at the time of publication on Monday.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.6% to $867.51 during Monday&#8217;s session as broader market pressures, concerns over a potential recession and trade tensions between the United States and China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44216011/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-trump-hints-at-looming-recession-expert-says-cant-rule-out-a-bear-market-as-indices-inch-towards-correction-territory">weigh on investor sentiment</a>.
What To Know: The streaming giant, which has been navigating a highly competitive media landscape, faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44178502/netflix-stock-is-down-8-whats-going-on">renewed selling pressure</a> as investors shifted away from growth stocks amid economic uncertainty.
Netflix, known for its extensive library of original content and global subscriber base, may soon contend with shifting consumer spending habits. A weaker-than-expected jobs report and a rise in the U.S. unemployment rate to 4.1% have added to fears that discretionary spending, including streaming subscriptions, could face pressure in the coming months.

Adding to investor concerns, China's latest retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural products have heightened fears of broader economic instability, which could impact advertising and content production costs.
Consumers could also feel the effects, as any increased operational costs for Netflix may be passed on in the form of higher subscription fees.
What Else: With&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44135215/trumps-tariffs-could-wipe-out-profits-for-gm-ford-and-stellantis-barclays-warns-tariffs-of-this-magnitude-are-unlikely-to-stick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">economic pressures rising globally</a>&nbsp;due to tariffs, consumers may be less willing to absorb price hikes, potentially impacting subscriber growth and retention, especially in price-sensitive markets. This could further exacerbate challenges for Netflix as it tries to balance profitability with subscriber demand.
Consumers might end up paying more if Netflix&#8217;s costs go up since the company could raise subscription prices.
With global economic pressures increasing due to tariffs, people may be less willing to accept price hikes. This could make it harder for Netflix to keep and attract subscribers, especially in price-sensitive markets, adding to the company's challenges in balancing profit and customer demand.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NFLX Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Netflix &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Netflix, which is trading at $865.52 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.12 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX has a 52-week high of $1,064.50 and a 52-week low of $542.01.
