In One Of The Worst Week, These Large Cap Stocks Emerged As Winners (Mar 31-Apr 4): Are These In Your Portfolio?

Wall Street's sell-off shows no signs of easing into the week's close, in what's shaping up to be the worst week for U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">equities since March 2020</a>.
The market's bleeding is now visible across the board: the Dow Jones has slipped into correction territory, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from its highs.
Tech and semiconductor stocks have taken the brunt of the damage, following China's announcement of retaliatory tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods — a tit-for-tat move matching the rate once imposed by President Donald Trump.
The VIX index — also known as the &#8220;market fear gauge&#8221;&nbsp;— spiked 35% to 40 levels, heading for the highest daily close since October 2020.
Other countries are threatening retaliation, fueling fears of a broader global trade war that could disrupt supply chains and weigh heavily on the global economy.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) — a key proxy for the U.S. chipmaking industry — has plunged 16% this week, on track for its worst performance since September 2001 at the height of the dot-com crash.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) extended its losses by another 4.7% on Friday, heading toward its steepest two-day decline since 2013, as investors brace for potential revenue hits from the new Chinese tariffs.
Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">a strong U.S. jobs report</a> — with 228,000 payrolls added in March, far above the expected 135,000 — did little to soothe nerves.
Hopes that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might strike a more dovish tone were dashed. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">offered no signs of urgency to cut </a>rates, reiterating that the Fed is in no rush, and flagged inflation risks tied to tariffs. Powell stressed the importance of monitoring inflation expectations closely. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued posting on Truth Social, touting the &#8220;great jobs numbers&#8221; and warning China against behavior it &#8220;cannot afford to do.&#8221; He again pressed Powell to cut rates, saying it's the "perfect time," but his words seem to be losing sway on Wall Street.
As stocks slumped, bonds notched their best day of the year thus far. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 2.1%. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note were down by 10 basis points to 3.94%.

Wall Street Massacre Rages On, Chipmakers Eye Worst Week Since Dot-Com Burst, Bonds Rally: What's Driving Markets Friday?

U.S. stock futures declined on Friday after a bloodbath on Thursday following the introduction of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading.
Fueled by a broad market downturn, the Dow Jones plummeted by a staggering 1,679 points, its fifth-largest drop ever, while the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq suffered their biggest single-day losses since June and March 2020, respectively.
Trump, however, dismissed the tariff-induced selloff and said, &#8220;The market is going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 3.94% and the two-year bond was at 3.61%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a> shows markets pricing in a 69.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve maintaining current interest rates through its May meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
Technology sectors bore the brunt of Thursday&#8217;s U.S. stock market downturn. Specifically, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares plummeted approximately 9.3%, marking their steepest single-day decline since March 2020. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) also saw a significant drop, tumbling 7.8%, while Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shares fell by 8.98%. Across the broader market, consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology stocks registered the most substantial losses within the S&amp;P 500.
In contrast, consumer staples stocks stood out, bucking the prevailing negative trend and closing the session higher. This sector&#8217;s resilience was highlighted by Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LW#NYSE">LW</a>), whose shares surged 10% after the company released third-quarter financial results that exceeded expectations and provided FY25 sales guidance above analyst estimates.
Economic data released Thursday presented a mixed picture. U.S. initial jobless claims decreased by 6,000 to 219,000 for the week ending March 29, falling below the anticipated 225,000. Additionally, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $122.7 billion in February, improving from $130.7 billion in January and slightly better than the forecasted $123.5 billion. However, the ISM services PMI declined to 50.8 in March, down from 53.5 in February and below market expectations of 53.

Insights From Analysts:
CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer compared Trump&#8217;s tariffs to historical tariff regimes in the U.S., in an X post. he said, &#8220;It is not pro-tariff v. anti-tariff. It&#8217;s about accomplishing what&#8217;s good for our country while not having a Smoot-Hawley situation.&#8221;
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, enacted in 1930, was a US law that significantly increased tariffs on imported goods, intended to protect American businesses and farmers, but ultimately worsened the Great Depression by triggering a global trade war.
However, he added that tariff-induced selloff on Thursday was &#8220;100% Smoot Hawley disguised as thoughtful policy. The market was RIGHT to go down.&#8221;

AQR Capital Management&#8217;s Chief Investment Officer, Cliff Asness, took to X on Thursday to voice his criticism of tariff proponents, specifically disputing the assertion that tariffs result in deflation instead of inflation.
His remarks were a direct response to Anthony Pompliano, the Founder &amp; CEO of Professional Capital Management and a well-known Bitcoin advocate, who had previously claimed, &#8220;Tariffs don't create inflation. The exact opposite happens."

Creative Planning&#8217;s chief market strategist, Charlie Bilello, noted that the VIX index reached its highest closing level since Aug. 5, 2024.
He suggested this increase in fear, coupled with lower stock prices, presents enhanced opportunities for investors with a long-term perspective. Bilello also pointed to historical trends, indicating that the S&amp;P 500 has historically delivered &#8220;higher than average&#8221; returns following significant surges in volatility.
He shared data showing that after a comparable spike on Aug. 5, 2024, the S&amp;P 500 returned 6% in one month, 11% in three months, and 18% over six months. On average, Bilello highlighted, the S&amp;P 500 has gained 12% six months after such volatility spikes and 21% after a year.
In an X post, Bilello summarized, &#8220;More Fear = More Opportunity.&#8221;

9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is increasingly popular <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44569292/congressman-buys-up-to-600k-in-bitcoin-etf-after-selling-1-million-in-goldman-sachs-stock-committee-assignment-could-be-red-flag">among corporate buyers</a>, with on-chain data suggesting ongoing accumulation by other large entities.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1907377531143016915">thread</a> on Wedneday, research firm CryptoQuant pointed out that despite public companies accumulating 91,781 BTC in Q1, Bitcoin dropped 12%, from $94,400 to $82,500. 
Tether emerged as a surprise buyer, adding 8,888 BTC, while Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) made the largest move, acquiring 81,785 BTC for more than $8 billion.
Other buyers included The Blockchain Company (+605 BTC), Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) (+1,108 BTC) and Metaplanet (+2,285 BTC) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>). 
On-chain analytics shows more corporate buying could be on the horizon, with Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) planning a $2 billion stock sale for BTC purchases and GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) exploring a $1.3 billion Bitcoin strategy through a convertible note offering.
However, the price decline was driven by long-term holders selling 178,000 BTC in Q1, outweighing corporate accumulation. Additionally, $4.8 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows added further downward pressure on price.

Why It Matters: Glassnode data listed several bullish indicators for Bitcoin:
<ul>
<li>Retail investors (under 1 BTC) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907358419859669116">offloading</a> while whales (10+ BTC) accumulate, highlighting a divergence in investor sentiment.</li>
<li>Bitcoin holders in the 3–6-month range (nearing long-term holder status) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1906713577471234255">holding</a> strong despite volatility. Spending activity from this group is at its lowest since mid-2021, suggesting conviction, not panic selling.</li>
<li>BTC holders from 2020-2022 are still <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907001005251625160">holding</a> significant wealth, despite a 3% decline in their share since the November 2024 peak.</li>
</ul>
Crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1907347270028116195">highlighted</a> Bitcoin ETF outflows of $157.8 million on Tuesday amid concerns over Trump&#8217;s tariff policy.
What's Next: Crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa notes sideways price action, with a lower low on the 4-hour chart.
The traders urges caution, with volatility expected in the current week.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

MARA Holdings Inc (CRYPTO: MARA) on Monday announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44301936/bitcoin-miners-ride-the-btc-boom-but-costs-tell-a-different-story-jpmorgan">sought to raise up to $2 billion</a> through a stock offering to expand Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserves
What Happened: The firm submitted <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1507605/000164117225001325/form424b5.htm#mm_004">paperwork</a> to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, outlining its strategy to sell shares via an at-the-market agreement.
This deal involves prominent financial players like Barclays Capital, BMO Capital Markets, and Cantor Fitzgerald, among others, who will facilitate the sale.
MARA intends to channel the funds into expanding its bitcoin reserves and supporting day-to-day operations. 
The company emphasized its long-term vision, stating that its core strategy revolves around mining and holding Bitcoin as a key asset for future growth. 
With an existing stash of 46,374 Bitcoin—valued at approximately $3.8 billion at today's prices—MARA already ranks as the second-largest public company holding the cryptocurrency, trailing only behind Michael Saylor's Strategy, which boasts over 506,000 Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: In a parallel development, GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>), the video game retailer, recently unveiled its own <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44531398/peter-schiff-slams-gamestops-bitcoin-strategy-as-shares-plummet-now-that-all-the-fools-have-already-rushed-in-smarter-investors-are-selling">cryptocurrency ambitions</a>.
Inspired by Strategy's playbook, GameStop plans to raise $1.3 billion through convertible notes to kickstart its Bitcoin purchases. 
The company also revealed intentions to tweak its financial strategy, designating Bitcoin as an official reserve asset—a sign that more corporations may soon follow suit in embracing digital currencies.
Meanwhile, Japanese company Metaplanet Inc. will issue its 10th series of ordinary bonds to raise 2 billion yen, approximately $13 million USD at current exchange rates, to acquire more Bitcoin.
The bonds, named the &#8220;Metaplanet Inc. 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds,&#8221; carry a face value of 50 million yen each and will not bear any interest.
They are set to be issued on March 31 with a redemption date scheduled for Sep. 30.
Metaplanet has <a href="https://x.com/Metaplanet_JP/status/1906542857554362548">outlined</a> that the bonds will be redeemed at their full face value of ¥100 per ¥100 on the redemption date.
However, bondholders can request early redemption at the same rate, provided they submit a written notice to the company at least one business day prior to the desired early redemption date.
Metaplanet has stated that this bond issuance is not expected to significantly impact its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2025.

Renowned economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;slammed GameStop Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment strategy as the company&#8217;s shares nosedived on Thursday.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff took to X, chiming in on the video game retailer&#8217;s pullback. &#8220;GME is now getting crushed.&nbsp; It&#8217;s&nbsp;down 22% on the day,&nbsp;down 26% from yesterday&#8217;s high,&#8221; the staunch Bitcoin critic highlighted.
Moreover, he referred to individuals who fell for the hype as &#8220;fools,&#8221; adding that &#8220;smarter&#8221; individuals are exiting the market upon realizing that wasting money buying Bitcoin is not a viable long-term business model.
&#8220;Now that all the fools have already rushed in, smarter investors are selling as they realize that wasting cash buying Bitcoin is not a viable long-term business model.&#8221;

GameStop&#8217;s shares began to jump when the company revealed Tuesday that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/03/44482313/gamestop-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-shares-surge-as-board-approves-bitcoin-as-treasury-reserve-asset"> it adopted Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset</a>. On Wednesday, the stock reached a 10-week high of $28.36. 
However, the sentiment reversed after it announced a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44506895/gamestop-themed-memecoin-takes-sharp-u-turn-tanks-94-after-companys-new-debt-offering-to-buy-bitcoin">convertible debt offering </a>to fund BTC purchases, as many shareholders could have thought that this would be dilutive in the long run.

Why It Matters:&nbsp; Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, had previously described GameStop&#8217;s consideration to buy Bitcoin as a desperate attempt to stay relevant, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43719682/peter-schiff-says-gamestop-has-thrown-a-hail-mary-by-considering-bitcoin-investments-draws-parallels-with-michael-saylors-strategy">deeming it a "Hail Mary" play</a>.

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) shares are falling Thursday after the company announced a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44502682/gamestop-announces-proposed-private-offering-of-1-3-billion-of-convertible-senior-notes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proposed private offering</a>.
What Happened: GameStop announced plans to offer $1.3 billion worth of its 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 in a private offering to institutional investors. The company intends to grant the initial purchasers a 13-day period to purchase up to an additional $200 million of the notes.
GameStop said it expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including to purchase Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) under its newly-announced crypto strategy.
On Tuesday, GameStop reported fourth-quarter earnings and announced the approval of Bitcoin as a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/03/44482313/gamestop-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-shares-surge-as-board-approves-bitcoin-as-treasury-reserve-asset" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">treasury reserve asset</a>. The company noted that it planned to use a portion of its cash or future debt and equity issuances to invest in Bitcoin.
GameStop shares surged after the company announced the Bitcoin pivot, but the stock gave back some of its gains after the company announced the details of how it planned to secure funds for its Bitcoin strategy.
&#8220;We have not set a maximum amount of Bitcoin we may accumulate, and may sell any Bitcoin we may acquire,&#8221; the company said in the filing.
Investors have been speculating about a potential Bitcoin strategy from GameStop ever since CEO&nbsp;Ryan Cohen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43605313/gamestop-stock-is-surging-monday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted a picture</a>&nbsp;with Strategy's&nbsp;Michael Saylor&nbsp;on X last month.
