Meanwhile, Nebraskangooner <a href="https://x.com/Nebraskangooner/status/1919756685507203327">noted</a> that DOGE is currently resting on a critical monthly support level and must hold to avoid further downside. 
Galaxy <a href="https://x.com/galaxyBTC/status/1919767068460593558">added</a> that Dogecoin is essential to any true altseason, highlighting its recent shift to higher highs and higher lows after breaking out of a 600-day accumulation range. 
As the trend suggests further upside potential, it is worth keeping on watchlist.
Statistics:  Momentum may also be building beneath the surface. 
In an X post on May 1, House of Doge <a href="https://x.com/houseofdoge/status/1917991127891800421">revealed</a> that the Dogecoin Reserve acquired over 10 million DOGE in just one week, raising its total stash to 21.3 million DOGE.
On the derivatives front, CoinGlass data shows $4.92 million in DOGE liquidations, including $4.19 million in long positions, while daily derivatives volume jumped 9.7%.
Community News: Dogecoin's utility narrative is also gaining traction. DogeOS, a new operating system-like infrastructure layer for the Dogecoin blockchain, just secured $6.9 million in a funding round led by Polychain Capital, according to CoinDesk.
Jordan Jefferson, CEO of MyDoge, emphasized that DogeOS aims to support developers building consumer apps, including in gaming and AI, directly on Dogecoin. This could mark a key inflection point for expanding DOGE's real-world use cases and developer engagement.

Dogecoin Teases 'Diamond Bottom' Reversal: Is A Breakout Imminent?

IPG Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPGP#NASDAQ">IPGP</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reporting first-quarter results.</a>
The company <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/06/3074968/0/en/IPG-Photonics-Announces-First-Quarter-2025-Financial-Results.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>adjusted earnings per share of 31 cents, beating the Street view of 21 cents. Quarterly sales of $227.79 million (down 10% year over year) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $227.10 million.
Revenues slumped owing to lower sales in materials processing. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue growth by approximately 2%. Materials processing sales accounted for 86% of total revenue and decreased 14% year-over-year, as a result of lower sales in welding and cutting applications.

Operating income in the quarter under review slumped 91% to $1.8 million, while operating margin significantly contracted to 0.8% in the quarter under review, compared with 7.6% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter fell 19% on a year-over-year basis to $32.7 million.
&#8220;While recent tariffs have caused uncertainty related to the timing of shipments and some increased costs in the near term, we are able to take advantage of our global manufacturing footprint and supply chain to mitigate their impact while continuing to invest in the future growth of our business,&#8221; &nbsp;said Mark Gitin, CEO.
Gross margin in the quarter under review expanded to 39.4% from 38.7% in the year-ago period.
Outlook: IPG Photonics expects adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter to range between a loss of $0.05 and a profit of $0.25, below the consensus estimate of $0.31.
The company also projects second-quarter revenue between $210 million and $240 million, missing the Street expectation of $242.19 million.
&#8220;Our revenue guidance is approximately $15 million lower than it would have been due to potential shipment delays related to tariffs,&#8221; the firm said.
IPG Photonics expects the second quarter adjusted gross margin to be between 36% and 38%, including 150 to 200 basis points of impact from tariffs.
IGP Price Action: IPGP shares are trading lower by 12.31% to $55.36 at publication on Tuesday.

Revenues from entertainment offerings increased 10% Y/Y to $160.2 million,&nbsp;primarily due to higher revenues subject to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, an increase in revenues from the&nbsp;Christmas Spectacular&nbsp;production and higher revenues from venue-related sponsorship, signage and suite licenses fees, partially offset by lower-event related revenues.&nbsp;
Food, beverage and merchandise revenues increased 1% Y/Y to $45.8 million.
Event-related revenues decreased by $3.6 million due to lower concert revenues.
In addition, the&nbsp;company&nbsp;reported an adjusted operating income of $57.9 million, versus $38.5 million a year ago,&nbsp;primarily due to higher revenues and, to a lesser extent, lower direct operating expenses and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.&nbsp;

EVgo Stock Rallies As Charging Network Revenue Spikes 49% In Q1

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) moved lower on Tuesday following the launch of a timely and tongue-in-cheek offering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45216984/blue-point-brewing-co-announces-the-return-of-delayed-pilsner" rel="noreferrer noopener">from one of its subsidiaries.</a>
Blue Point Brewing Co., a well-known craft beer brand under Tilray&#8217;s beverage umbrella, has announced the return of its Delayed Pilsner — a brew created with New York commuters in mind.
The lager, originally developed as a nod to the all-too-frequent public transportation delays in the city, is once again hitting shelves across the Metro New York area.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/04/45011379/why-cannabis-stocks-jumped-by-double-digits-and-why-analysts-say-dont-drink-the-kool-aid-in-one-gulp" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Cannabis Stocks Jumped By Double Digits And Why Analysts Say &#8216;Don&#8217;t Drink The Kool-Aid In One Gulp&#8217;</a>
Carrie Shafir, senior brand director at Tilray Beverages, shared the intention behind the product: &#8220;Delayed Pilsner is our way of helping New Yorkers find a moment of peace amidst the chaos. It&#8217;s a beer that&#8217;s not just refreshing but also comforting.&#8221;
The 16-ounce can features a design inspired by the familiar &#8220;delayed&#8221; signage seen on Penn Station&#8217;s departure boards, particularly referencing Long Island destinations.
It&#8217;s a visual cue that blends humor with an all-too-relatable experience for city residents.
Delayed Pilsner is available in 16oz cans at select retailers and major transit centers across New York.
Tilary Beverages recently launched a new whiskey expression <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">under its acclaimed&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breckenridge Distillery</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963595/whats-going-on-with-tilray-brands-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;brand.</a>
The distillery unveiled the latest addition to its cask-finished lineup: Breckenridge Cognac Cask Finish Whiskey, which is available in Colorado with broader U.S. distribution anticipated later this year.
Originally released in 2022 as part of the second Collectors Art Series, this limited edition whiskey has returned with an elevated production run.
Price Action: TLRY shares are trading lower by 3.78% to $0.4229 at last check Tuesday.

Palantir Analysts Boost Their Forecasts After Q1 Results

Fabrinet&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after it reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45207128/fabrinet-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-year-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter FY25 results on Monday</a>.
Revenue was&nbsp;$871.8&nbsp;million, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$856.62 million. Adjusted EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;$2.52 exceeded<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the consensus of&nbsp;$2.49</a>.
Fabrinet CEO Seamus Grady said, &#8220;We delivered another strong telecom performance with growth that more than offset an anticipated sequential decline in datacom revenue. Our team continued to execute very well, producing non-GAAP EPS that also exceeded our guidance.&#8221;
&#8221;Looking ahead, we remain optimistic and confident in our ability to deliver strong execution in the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2026.&#8221;
As of March 28, cash and cash equivalents stood at $306.9 million.
Outlook: Fabrinet expects&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;FY25 revenue of&nbsp;$860&nbsp;million&nbsp;–&nbsp;$900&nbsp;million, surpassing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of&nbsp;$888.62 million</a>.
The company also projects fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$2.50-$2.70&nbsp;vs. the street view of&nbsp;$2.69.
Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese raised the price forecast from $230 to $250, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while retaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst says that Fabrinet&#8217;s outlook in the Telecom sector has become increasingly attractive, and expects Telecom revenue to continue its sequential growth trajectory as both Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and traditional Telecommunications markets rebound.
Also, Genovese writes that Fabrinet is poised to benefit from contract wins with major players like Cisco, Infinera, and Ciena. Simultaneously, investors might observe a less robust performance in the Datacom segment. That may not come as a significant surprise, adds the analyst.
The analyst revised EPS estimates to $10.15 (from $10.17) for 2025 and reiterated FY26 estimates at $11.20.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Janus Henderson Small/Mid Cap Growth Alpha ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JSMD#NASDAQ">JSMD</a>) and Principal U.S. Small-Cap ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSC#NASDAQ">PSC</a>).
Price Action: FN shares are down 7.18% at $205.03 at the last check on Tuesday.

Crude Oil Rises Sharply; US Trade Deficit Widens In March

JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers lowered estimates for Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) ahead of the company&#8217;s first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings release on May 21</a>.
The analyst says that based on the industry analysis and data insights, he is cutting first-quarter comparable sales estimates to -2.7%, below the Street&#8217;s consensus of -1.7% and the broader buyside expectations (a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LOW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">decline of 2% to 3.5%)</a>.
Horvers writes that Lowe&#8217;s experienced a more significant headwind from unfavorable DIY weather conditions earlier in the quarter and has underperformed Home Depot more recently, even as weather conditions improved.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44936618/weather-hits-lowes-harder-than-home-depot-as-spring-traffic-heats-up-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Weather Hits Lowe&#8217;s Harder Than Home Depot As Spring Traffic Heats Up: Analyst</a>
The analyst notes that Lowe&#8217;s previously guided to a -2% comp for the first quarter and roughly flat comps for the first half, anticipating a ~$400 million shift of spring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">sales into the second quarter</a>.
While Lowe&#8217;s faces easier weather comparisons in the second quarter (lapping &#8220;one of the worst weather backdrops in 30 years&#8221;), the analyst is slightly lowering second quarter comp estimates to +2% (from +3% previously).
This adjustment reflects the first quarter&#8217;s underperformance relative to management&#8217;s expectations, the uncertain weather outlook, and some underlying softness in the business, the analyst adds.
Further, the analyst estimates first quarter EPS at $2.87, compared to the Street&#8217;s $2.91.
Given the expectation that Lowe&#8217;s will miss its first quarter outlook and considering its positioning relative to Home Depot on tariffs, the analyst anticipates Lowe&#8217;s to adjust its full-year guidance towards the lower end of flat comparable sales and around a 12.3% operating margin. 
The analyst expects the company will reiterate confidence in managing tariffs and safeguarding margins in a less favorable scenario.
LOW Price Action: Lowe&#8217;s shares are down 0.94% at $223.07&nbsp;at publication on Tuesday.

The round was co-led by Notable Capital and Neo, with participation from Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners, Peak6 Strategic Capital, and Correlation Ventures. Additionally, Dub<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dub-raises-30m-to-scale-copy-trading-and-transform-retail-investing-302443669.html"> revealed</a> a $5.5 million venture debt facility from Silicon Valley Bank.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Approach to Retail Investing Gains Momentum</h2>
Founded in 2021 by Harvard dropout Steven Wang, Dub is tapping into a generational shift in investment behavior. Instead of focusing on traditional stock picking, the app encourages users to follow people whose investment strategies they trust, according to<a href="https://fortune.com/article/copy-trading-dub-30-million-series-a-notable-capital-neo/"> Fortune</a>.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has emerged as a popular figure on the platform, with over 13,000 users opting to mirror her trades, Fortune reported. Pelosi's high-performing portfolio, publicized through financial data aggregators like Quiver Quantitative, has drawn widespread interest for years.
According to Fortune, Dub's traction reflects a broader trend among younger investors, who are increasingly influenced by online communities and social media rather than institutional advisors. Wang said this model simplifies investing and lowers the barrier to entry by transforming complex decisions into followable actions.
Trending: Donald Trump just announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure deal — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/seize-a-share-while-you-still-can-in-the-2-trillion-entertainment-market-with-elf-labs-at-just-2-25-share">here's how you can invest in the entertainment market's next big disruptor at $2.25 per share</a>.
Dub's early momentum was fueled by a high-powered seed round led by Tusk Venture Partners and supported by a diverse group of heavyweight backers across finance, tech, and entertainment. According to a<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/first-ever-copy-trading-platform-dub-raises-17m-seed-round-from-a-list-vcs-and-individual-investors-302067967.html"> statement</a> in February 2024, investors include Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) co-founder Nathan Rodland, Apex Fintech Solutions CEO Bill Capuzzi, former Federal Reserve vice chair and TIAA CEO Roger Ferguson Jr., and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Access Meets Influencer Strategy</h2>
Dub's core feature, a one-tap system to replicate another user's portfolio, offers users a way to invest by following real people they trust. The platform is designed to help users build wealth alongside stock influencers, expert investors, or even peers. In contrast to platforms that promote speculative trading, Dub positions itself as an educational and transparent marketplace focused on long-term strategy.
The company's creator program, operated through Dub Advisors, rewards verified portfolio creators with royalties. This system monetizes financial knowledge by turning curated strategies into investable products. According to Dub's statement last week, this feature creates a new financial class of investor-influencers, who benefit both from the performance of their portfolios and the community engagement they generate.
This model addresses persistent gaps in market participation. According to Dub, nearly 40% of Americans still do not own any stock, while 88% of equity wealth is concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest 10%. Wang says on the app's website that Dub is designed to reverse this imbalance by offering tools that empower first-time and everyday investors to make informed decisions without needing to master market analysis themselves.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Back a Platform Built for the Next Generation</h2>
The $30 million funding round marks a vote of confidence from high-profile investors who believe Dub is building more than just another investing app. Hans Tung, managing partner at Notable Capital and a Dub board member, said in Dub's statement that the platform addresses the needs of retail consumers while also spotlighting proven investors who might otherwise remain under the radar.
Ali Partovi, CEO at Neo echoed this sentiment, describing Dub's ambitions as "breathtaking" and positioning the company as a catalyst in the emerging creator-investor economy.
Dub has now raised $47 million in total and surpassed one million downloads. With the latest funding, the company plans to expand its feature set, scale its infrastructure, and make regulated, transparent copy-trading available to a wider audience.

Bank of America: Palantir&#8217;s first-quarter revenue beat and raised guidance shows accelerated growth, Mora said in a new investor note.
The analyst highlighted that the first-quarter revenue beat came from strong demand for both commercial and government markets.
Mora said the $125 price target is part of a "longer-term valuation methodology" for the stock.
"We think this valuation fairly captures the beneficial position to national security and US government/allies' digital modernization efforts, a leading role in artificial intelligence-powered platforms, opportunistic partnerships, strong balance sheet and strong profitability," Mora said.
Goldman Sachs: Palantir is "still gaining momentum with AI strategy," Borges said in a new investor note.
Borges said the debate on the medium-term ecosystem remains.
"We believe the enterprise ecosystem continues to turn to Palantir as a proven way of executing AI strategy while alternatives are relatively more challenging to adopt," Borges said.
Palantir can also benefit from the defense tech industry, which is on track for "meaningfully more traction,&#8221; Borges adds. "We continue to view Palantir as well positioned to continue to deliver best-in-class growth given the secular trend towards enterprise AI adoption."
Wedbush: Palantir bull Ives raises the price target after the Q1 results. He again refers to the company as the "Messi of AI."
"The company continues to capitalize on the AI demand wave with its AIP product moat gaining further traction moving forward," Ives said.
The analyst said Palantir's multi-million dollar deals in the pipeline show the company's "land and expand strategy" is working.
Ives also highlighted Palantir's traction gains in Europe with a recent NATO partnership.
"We view Palantir as a generation tech name that we see as a trillion market cap over the next three years with PLTR being a core name in the AI Revolution theme over the coming years."
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock is down 14.1% to $106.30 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $63.40 to $125.41. Palantir stock is up 41.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 320% in the last year.

Palantir Stock A 'Core Name In AI Revolution': Analysts Expect $1 Trillion Market Cap In 3 Years

Legendary investor Warren Buffett announced he is stepping down as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) at the end of 2025, ending a run of leading the conglomerate that has often <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">outperformed the S&amp;P 500.</a>
Here's a look at how Buffett got started with Berkshire Hathaway and how much investing alongside him could have been worth.
What Happened: Buffett is one of the greatest investors of the current generation. He is known for his buy-and-hold approach to investing and has used that approach in his life, living in the same house<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41095962/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-lives-in-an-old-corner-house-he-purchased-for-32k-i-couldnt-imagine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> for the past 65 years.</a>
Before his buy-and-hold approach, which is still used today, Buffett was interested in purchasing low-priced stocks in the 1960s, including well-run companies trading at low prices.
"If (the stocks) were cheap enough, he didn't care it was a lousy company and lousy management. He knew he was going to make money anyways because of the cheapness," Berkshire Vice Chairman&nbsp;Charlie Munger&nbsp;said in the "Becoming Warren Buffett Documentary," CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/12/buffett-bought-berkshire-hathaway-shares-for-7-dollars-and-50-cents-each.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.
Buffett&nbsp;<a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/SpecialLetters/WEB%20past%20present%20future%202014.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bought&nbsp;</a>his first shares of textile company Berkshire Hathaway in December 1962 for $7.50 each.
"I bought the first shares of Berkshire in 1962 and it was a northern textile business destined to become extinct eventually," Buffett said. "It was a statistically cheap stock and a terrible business."
Buffett saw an opportunity at a low price.
"Berkshire Hathaway was closing mills, and as they close mills, it would free up some capital, and then they would re-purchase shares. So I bought some stock with the idea that there would be another tender offer at some point, and we would sell the stock at a modest profit," he said.
Buffett was right, as he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received an offer </a>from Berkshire Hathaway to buy his 7% stake in the company. When asked at what price he would sell the holdings, Buffett told Berkshire head Seabury Stanton the price would be $11.50. Stanton agreed but later sent a letter with an offer for $11.375.
The Oracle of Omaha was taken aback by the letter and offer, which led him to refuse to tender his shares.
"That was a monumentally stupid decision," Buffett said of this move.
"That made me very mad, so I just started buying more stock. I just felt that I had been double-crossed by the management."
Buffett began buying more shares and eventually took control of Berkshire Hathaway. Seabury was let go from the company.
The textile business proved okay for Buffett for a couple of years before shutting down in 1985 and becoming what Buffett has called one of his worst investments of all time.
Over the years, Berkshire Hathaway became more than just a textile business, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/03/26224759/warren-buffett-owns-what-10-berkshire-acquisitions-you-may-have-forgotten" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buying up companies </a>such as Geico, See's Candies, Fruit of the Loom, Dairy Queen, and others.
Buffett also used the company's cash to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45208955/warren-buffetts-giant-berkshire-portfolio-top-10-includes-banks-oil-and-apple">acquire stakes in publicly traded companies</a> such as Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and others.

Investing $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway: As Buffett's first investment took place in Berkshire Hathaway in 1962, there's a good chance that if you're reading this, you might not have been born yet or old enough to buy stock.
If you, your parent, or your grandparent were lucky enough to invest in Berkshire Hathaway stock when Buffett did or when he started accumulating more shares, the returns would be incredible.
Investing $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway in December 1972 for $7.50 a share at the time Buffett bought shares could have purchased 133.33 shares.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $102,421,161.64 today, based on the current price of Berkshire Hathaway shares, which is $768,35.80.
This represents a return of 10,242,016.2%, or more than 10 million percent since Buffett first invested in Berkshire Hathaway.
Berkshire Hathaway is worth more than&nbsp;$1.1 trillion today and one of the 10&nbsp;most valuable public companies in the world.
Buffett's investment style has produced strong annual returns for investors over the years.
While the hypothetical investment could have people wishing they invested back in 1962 with the Oracle of Omaha, the conglomerate owns many businesses and stock holdings that could set the company up for a successful future of annual returns, even without Buffett leading the way as CEO.
