TD Securities Maintains Buy on Gildan Activewear, Raises Price Target to $60

An <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44799581/no-expiration-date-on-metas-antitrust-case-says-former-ftc-chair-ahead-of-trial">antitrust trial against </a>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has put the company's segments, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, into the spotlight, as the company could be forced to divest these units.
A Benzinga reader poll shows a potential break-up could be a value unlock for Meta Platforms as they share which new unit they would want to own.
What Happened: An<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says"> antitrust trial by</a> the Federal Trade Commission could cast a shadow over Meta Platforms, with its first-quarter financial results due Wednesday after the market close.
The trial accuses Meta of using a "buy or bury" strategy to acquire competing companies, such as Instagram and WhatsApp. The trial highlighted how Meta also considered buying Snap Inc. and has shut down some of the companies it previously acquired.
While a forced spinoff or breakup for Meta Platforms might sound like a bad thing, it could ultimately unlock shareholder value through a sum-of-parts valuation. This could allow each unit to trade at higher multiples and highlight individual growth.
Benzinga recently asked readers if they think Meta could be worth more under a spinoff or break-up plan from the FTC.
"Meta Platforms could be forced to sell or spinoff Instagram and WhatsApp. If the spinoffs/sales happen which do you think describes what happens next?" Benzinga asked.
<ul>
<li>Sum of parts greater than current $1.27 trillion market cap: 50%</li>
<li>Sum of parts less than current $1.27 trillion market cap: 28%</li>
<li>Meta, Instagram and WhatsApp worth $1.27 trillion together still: 22%</li>
</ul>
The survey found that half of Benzinga readers believe Meta stock could be worth more with a forced spinoff or breakup.
Benzinga readers were also asked which future Meta unit they would most want to own if a breakup were to happen.
"If Meta splits into three separate companies, which would you be most interested in owning?" Benzinga asked.
<ul>
<li>Instagram: 43%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms/Facebook: 35%</li>
<li>WhatsApp: 23%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that Instagram would be the most coveted asset if traded individually.

Why It's Important: Meta acquired Instagram for $1 billion in 2012, beating out a bid of $500 million previously offered by Twitter.
At the time of the acquisition, many experts questioned the premium valuation given Instagram's 30 million users and limited revenue.
Since the acquisition, Instagram has become one of the most important growth segments for Meta with around two billion users and hundreds of millions of daily active users.
A break-up could see Instagram get a premium valuation given its higher growth and more monetization opportunities compared to the legacy Facebook brand. Of course, the Meta Platforms/Facebook company, under a new model, could have more of the company's AI technology and platforms, which could also receive a premium valuation.
Meta has argued against the antitrust allegations, highlighting competition from TikTok and YouTube, which is owned by 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>). The trial remains active and will ultimately decide if Meta is forced to make any moves.
META Price Action: Meta stock trades tat $538.05 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $427.11 to $740.91. Meta stock is down 10.2% year-to-date in 2025 and up 25% over the last year.

The U.S. can't repay its $36 trillion of debt.
Here's what will happen instead:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="307" height="164" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30174818/image-1-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-12012" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30174818/image-1-2.jpeg 307w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30174818/image-1-2-300x160.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px" /></figure>
There are only 3 possible outcomes to addressing the debt problem:
1 &#8211; Default
2 &#8211; Print the debt away
3 &#8211; Technological &amp; deflationary boom
Let's look at all 3 
1 &#8211; Default
If the U.S. decides not to pay back its debt, the consequences would be massive.
The entire system is built on trust…and defaulting would destroy all trust in the U.S.
The dollar would collapse, credit markets would freeze, and financial panic would ensue.
It would be a Great Depression 2.0-style event.
2 &#8211; Print
If the U.S. printed its debt away, we'd experience extreme inflation.
Possibly Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe levels of inflation.
Basic necessities would be unaffordable. Not fun.
3 &#8211; Technological &amp; deflationary boom
New technology could theoretically boost productivity to the point where the economy outgrows its debt.
Tech is deflationary because it increases productivity and reduces costs over time.
Many believe that AI, cryptocurrency, and humanoid robots are the deflating counterbalance we need to combat our debt.
So what exactly will happen?
Likely a combination of short to medium-term money printing.
Followed by a long-term solution of technological innovation.
The U.S. dollar likely won't spiral into irrelevancy like many believe.
The British pound was once the reserve currency. Today, it's still the 5th most economically relevant currency on earth.
The dollar could experience a similar fate…while tech digs us out of this hole we're in.
But no matter what happens, one thing is for certain:
The dollar is the measuring stick we use to value asset prices.
And as that measuring stick erodes, asset prices will nominally rise.
So buy assets, or get left behind.

The Swiss bank reported&nbsp;first-quarter 2025 sales of&nbsp;$12.56 billion. This marked a 1% year-over-year decline and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">fell short of the $12.99 billion consensus estimate</a>.
Underlying revenues declined slightly&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$11.9 billion.&nbsp;Underlying revenues from the core businesses rose 6% Y/Y, while revenues in the much-reduced Noncore and Legacy division declined 72% Y/Y.
Underlying operating profit before tax reached&nbsp;$2.59 billion, down 1%&nbsp;Y/Y in the quarter.
Global Wealth&nbsp;Management's&nbsp;net new assets for the&nbsp;quarter were&nbsp;$32 billion, with revenues rising&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ubs.com/global/en/investor-relations/press-releases/overview-news-display-ndp/en-20250430-1q25-quarterly-result.html?caasID=CAAS-ActivityStream" rel="noreferrer noopener">5</a>%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$6.25 billion.
The group posted a net profit attributable to shareholders of&nbsp;$1.69 billion&nbsp;for the quarter vs. $1.76 billion a year ago quarter. EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;51 cents&nbsp;beat the consensus of&nbsp;41 cents.
The CET1 capital ratio, a measure of bank liquidity, was&nbsp;14.3%, compared to 14.8% in the year-ago quarter.
UBS CEO&nbsp;Sergio P. Ermotti stated, "The power and scale of our diversified global franchise, coupled with our continued focus on clients, drove strong business momentum in the quarter and net new inflows in our asset-gathering businesses."
"With increased uncertainty in markets and the macroeconomic outlook, we continue to focus on supporting clients, delivering on our financial targets, and acting as an engine of economic growth in the communities we serve."
Buyback: The bank completed share buybacks&nbsp;worth $0.5 billion and reserved $2.5 billion for planned share repurchases for the remainder of 2025.
Outlook: In the second quarter, UBS anticipates a low-single-digit percentage sequential decline in net interest income (NII) within Global Wealth Management and a similar decrease in Swiss franc terms <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">for Personal &amp; Corporate Banking's NII</a>.
Meanwhile, Personal &amp; Corporate Banking's NII is expected to increase sequentially by a mid-single-digit percentage in USD terms.
The bank noted that the continued market uncertainty could potentially delay the execution of their Global Banking pipeline.
Pull-to-par revenues are projected to reach $0.6 billion, which is anticipated to offset the expected $1.1 billion in integration-related expenses partly.

Eli Lilly Stock Has The Technicals: Will Q1 Earnings Deliver Fundamentals?

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday after the company reported worse-than-expected earnings for the first quarter and cut its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45085368/first-solar-falls-short-on-q1-earnings-cuts-fy-guidance-due-to-tariffs-shares-tumble">full-year outlook</a>.
What To Know: First Solar reported first-quarter earnings per share of $1.95, missing analyst estimates of $2.63. In addition, the solar company reported sales of $844.57 million, beating analyst estimates of $839.28 million, despite being down $700 million from the prior quarter.
Outlook: The company also cut its full-year 2025 guidance. First Solar previously projected earnings per share between $17 and $20, but said it now expects earnings per share of $12.50 to $17.50, below analyst estimates of $18.20.
The company also lowered its sales guidance from between $5.30 billion to $5.80 billion to a new range of between $4.50 billion to $5.50 billion, versus analyst estimates of $5.46 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
&#8220;Despite the near-term challenges presented by the new tariff regime, we believe that the long-term&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;for solar demand, particularly in our core U.S. market, remains strong, and that First Solar remains well-positioned to serve this demand,&#8221; said Mark Widmar, CEO. 
&#8220;This belief is based on the unique profile of First Solar compared to its peers, as America&#8217;s largest, and most established solar module manufacturer, and the country&#8217;s only fully vertically integrated producer, our significant network of domestic supply chain vendors, and our proprietary CadTel-based semiconductor.&#8221;
Analyst Changes: Following the earnings report, Keybanc downgraded First Solar to Underweight and set a new price target of $100 and Oppenheimer analysts downgraded the stock to Perform. Multiple analyst firms also lowered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/04/45100958/a-glimpse-into-the-expert-outlook-on-first-solar-through-21-analysts">price targets</a>.
<ul>
<li>Wells Fargo analyst Michael Blum maintained an Overweight rating on First Solar and lowered the price target from $191 to $177.</li>
<li>RBC Capital analyst Christopher Dendrinos maintained an Outperform rating on First Solar and lowered the price target from $237 to $214.</li>
<li>BMO Capital analyst Ameet Thakkar maintained an Outperform rating on First Solar and lowered the price target from $200 to $187.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee maintained a Buy rating and lowered the price target from $235 to $204.</li>
</ul>
FSLR Price Action: At the time of publication, First Solar stock was down 9.74% at $123.88, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro.</a>
