DaVita

DaVita is the largest provider of dialysis services in the United States, boasting market share of about 35% when measured by clinics. The firm operates over 3,000 facilities worldwide, mostly in the US, and treats about 280,000 patients globally each year. Government payers dominate US dialysis reimbursement. DaVita receives about two thirds of US sales at government (primarily Medicare) reimbursement rates, with the remainder coming from commercial insurers. While commercial insurers represent only about 10% of US patients treated, they represent nearly all of the profits generated by DaVita in the US dialysis business. Berkshire Hathaway owns about 45% of DaVita.

U.S. stock futures jumped on Monday after a muted day of trade on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading over 2% in premarket.
U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce</a> to pause the reciprocal tariffs on Monday and revised it from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;This comes after the White House and Chinese officials signaled significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">headway in trade negotiations</a> held in Geneva over the weekend.
The U.S. will maintain its 20% tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, keeping the overall tariff level on China at 30%. "We had very productive talks and I believe that the venue, here in Lake Geneva, added great equanimity to what was a very positive process,&#8221; said the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after the talks.
The U.S.-China joint statement also indicated Beijing&#8217;s agreement to suspend or remove all non-tariff countermeasures implemented since April 2, including sanctions on specific U.S. firms and export limits on crucial minerals, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3309975/china-us-reduce-majority-tariffs-after-first-round-trade-talks?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">to</a> the South China Morning Post.

The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 92.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After last week, 90% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported quarterly results, and the performance has been strong relative to expectations, said Brian Therien, the investment strategist at Edward Jones.
Seventy-eight percent have beaten analyst estimates, with an average upside surprise of 8.6%, he highlighted. Forecasts for first-quarter earnings growth of S&amp;P 500 companies have been revised higher to 13.2%, from 6.7% at the end of the quarter.
Performance has been broad, with eight of the 11 sectors forecast to report higher earnings year-over-year.
&#8220;Wider earnings growth should drive more balanced market performance across sectors, strengthening the case for portfolio diversification, in our view,&#8221; Therien added.
Charles Schwab said in a note that they are maintaining a neutral &#8220;marketperform&#8221; rating on all sectors, a shift it made in April after the White House announced broad-reaching tariffs on imports.
&#8220;Uncertainty about the ultimate level and timing of the tariffs has made it difficult to assert a view on which sectors might outperform or underperform the S&amp;P 500 index, so we are holding all sector ratings at Marketperform until we have more clarity on trade policy,&#8221; the note stated.

Major indices on the US also closed lower last week, with the S&amp;P 500 falling about 0.5% and the Nasdaq down around 0.3%. The Dow also declined almost 0.2% in the week.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter and announced a $750 million share buyback plan on Thursday.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based
&nbsp;on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Fox, NRG Energy And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

U.S. stock futures rose Sunday evening after weekend trade talks in Geneva signaled potential de-escalation in the ongoing trade war with China.
The S&amp;P 500 Futures are up 1.35%, trading at 5,754.50, Nasdaq Futures are trading at 20,515.25, up 1.88%, and finally Dow Jones Futures are up 1.01%, trading at 41,740.
On the other side of the Pacific, Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 index opened higher, and is trading at 37,611.66, up 0.29% at the time of writing this, led by real estate, tech exports, and semiconductor stocks, as fresh optimism on trade talks helped spur sentiments.
The White House announced progress on the deal in a post on X on Sunday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hailed the &#8220;substantial progress&#8221; made between the two countries in what he called &#8220;very important trade talks.&#8221;
U.S. Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer pointed out the quickness with which U.S. and China &#8220;were able to come to agreement.&#8221; He expressed confidence that the deal that was struck would help the U.S. with the &#8220;national emergency&#8221; that was the massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit.

These Large Cap Tech And Healthcare Stocks Had A Poor Run In Easter Week (Apr 14-Apr 18): Are These In Your Portfolio?

Wall Street pared early morning gains by midday Monday, as investor caution returned despite a temporary easing in U.S.-China trade tensions. While the initial market reaction was positive, especially in tech, enthusiasm faded as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the trading session progressed.</a>
Over the weekend, the White House announced a provisional exemption for smartphones and semiconductors from China&#8217;s proposed 145% trade tariff. These items will instead face a 20% levy—linked to fentanyl-related enforcement—until sector-specific duties are finalized.
The development triggered a strong premarket rally in technology stocks. Yet, those gains were sharply trimmed by midday amid broader geopolitical and policy concerns.
During a White House meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, President Donald Trump said he plans to impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to boost domestic manufacturing. 
He reiterated a hardline stance on Iran, warning of severe consequences if Tehran develops nuclear weapons, but also suggested &#8220;flexibility&#8221; in tariff negotiations, emphasizing a desire not to harm U.S. businesses.
Defensive and domestic-oriented sectors such as real estate, utilities, and consumer staples outperformed broader markets. In contrast, consumer discretionary was the only sector trading in negative territory.
Treasury yields dropped significantly, reflecting increased demand for U.S. government debt and easing fears of foreign liquidation. The 2-year yield fell 10 basis points to 3.87%, while 10-year benchmark yield dropped 7 basis points to 4.42%.
Gold pulled back 1% to $3,200 per ounce, pausing after a three-session rally. Crude oil fell 0.8% to $61 per barrel, while natural gas slid 2.9% to $3.39 per MMBtu, eyeing its lowest level since last Wednesday.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was little changed at $84,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 2.1% to $1,630.

Wall Street Pulls Back After Early Gains As Tariff Uncertainties Persist: What's Driving Markets Monday?

On April&nbsp;12, 2025, DaVita Inc. (the "Company" or "we") became aware of a ransomware incident that has encrypted certain elements of our network. Upon discovery, we activated our response protocols and implemented containment measures, including proactively isolating impacted systems. We are actively working to assess and remediate the incident with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity professionals and have notified law enforcement of the matter.
We have implemented our contingency plans, and we continue to provide patient care. However, the incident is impacting some of our operations, and while we have implemented interim measures to allow for the restoration of certain functions, we cannot estimate the duration or extent of the disruption at this time.
Given the recency of the incident, our investigation and response are ongoing, and the full scope, nature, and potential ultimate impact on the Company are not yet known.

DaVita Responds to Cyberattack, Isolates Affected Systems as Investigation into Ransomware Incident Continues

David Kostin, the Chief U.S. Equity Strategist of Goldman Sachs, has revised his earnings growth forecast, citing a weaker economic outlook, and highlighted a shift in market trends.
What Happened: On CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Squawk on the Street&#8217;, Kostin discussed his revised earnings growth forecast and market trends. Initially projected at 11%, the earnings growth forecast for 2025 has now been adjusted to 9%. 
Despite this, Kostin maintains that the earnings growth for 2026 remains at 7%, unchanged. He also stated that the S&amp;P 500 year-end target remains at 6500, suggesting an 11% gain from current levels.

Kostin also noted a shift in investment strategy, with investors moving from &#8220;excitement&#8221; (cyclicals) to &#8220;boredom&#8221;&nbsp;(defensive stocks) amid tariff&nbsp;uncertainties. He identified healthcare and consumer staples as preferred sectors for their stability and less sensitivity to the ongoing trade war. He also named&nbsp;Thermo Fisher (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) and Agilent Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) as strong investment options. 
Furthermore, he notes a shift in focus from AI infrastructure and hyperscalers to software companies that would be leveraging AI to amplify their revenues, for instance, MongoDB (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>). 
According to Kostin, uncertainty around tariffs makes forecasting difficult, but models suggest&nbsp;earnings will be impacted through unit volumes and margins. The strategist estimated that a 5% increase in tariffs&nbsp;could reduce earnings growth by&nbsp;1-2%.

Why It Matters: This shift in investment strategy is noteworthy, considering that institutional investors were bullish on technology and financials during the fourth quarter of 2024. Investors were seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43878703/institutional-investors-load-up-on-technology-and-financial-stocks-in-q4-while-reducing-positions-in-healthcare-sector-amid-political-uncertainty">pulling back</a> from the healthcare sector, which Kostin now identifies as a preferred sector. Even Warren Buffet&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in healthcare provider DaVita Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>), bringing down the ownership to 45%.
These market shifts and Kostin&#8217;s revised forecast underline the uncertainties in the current economic climate but also highlight potential&nbsp;opportunities in defensive sectors and&nbsp;AI-driven businesses. That being said, Kostin expects the falling bond yields to offset some tariff effects, potentially benefiting the economy. He summed up by saying that GDP growth is the primary driver of earnings, with interest rates and inflation playing secondary roles.
The S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) climbed 1.12% to close at 5,842.63 on Wednesday after President Donald Trump pushed back auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico by one month.
