Trump Tariffs Trigger Sell-Off: On Holding, AST SpaceMobile, Lululemon, Shopify, Robinhood Tank

A sweeping new wave of tariffs unveiled by President Donald Trump on Wednesday triggered a sharp selloff during the after hours of trading as the scope and scale of the trade duties exceeded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">Wall Street's worst-case expectations.</a>
The president framed the move as a long-overdue correction to decades of trade imbalance, instituting what he called a "reciprocal tariff rate," set at 50% of what trading partners charge the United States, but also factoring in non-tariff barriers like currency manipulation, value-added taxes and outright import bans.
While Trump had telegraphed his intention to "rebalance" U.S. trade policy, the specific duty levels, some of which reached into the mid-30% range with key trading partners, jolted investors.
Under the new framework, China, which Trump said imposes tariffs as high as 67% on American goods, will now face reciprocal U.S. duties of approximately 37%. The European Union, which applies a 39% combined rate including VATs, will be subject to a 20% U.S. tariff. Japan, with an estimated 46% trade barrier, now faces a 24% duty on exports to the U.S.
Canada and Mexico, two major trading partners, were notably excluded from the tariff program — a move that suggests Trump may be preserving the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, at least for now.
The White House confirmed that new trade tariffs will take effect on April 9. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Spark After-Hours Chaos: Index Futures Dive</h3>
The market&#8217;s reaction was swift and brutal. By 5:10 p.m. ET, futures on the S&amp;P 500 dropped 2.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell 3.3%. Dow Jones Industrial Average contracts lost 1.4% and the Russell 2000 futures collapsed by 4.7%. 
Losses were broad-based. Every major sector of the S&amp;P 500 was in the red, with Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) and Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) down about 3%.
As risk appetite evaporated, gold prices climbed. Futures on the yellow metal gained 1.1%, extending their year-to-date advance as investors sought shelter from escalating geopolitical and trade tensions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Megacaps Bear the Brunt</h3>
The Magnificent Seven stocks, the market's dominant tech names, are on track to lose a combined $685 billion.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was the biggest laggard, down 6.6% and projected to erase $221.7 billion in market value.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In LULU Options

Markets faltered on Friday, with Wall Street reeling as investors hurried to shed risk in the face of mounting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44537936/consumer-inflation-expectations-skyrocket-in-march-hit-highest-levels-in-32-years">inflation and tariff uncertainties.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 fell 2.1% by 1:30 p.m. trading in New York, on track to end the week with losses. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 tumbled 2.6%, and the Dow fell 1.7%. 
All members of the Magnificent Seven group were in the red, with Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) marking the widest drops, both down 4.4%.
Earlier on Friday, the Fed's favorite inflation gauge – the core Personal Consumption Expenditure price index – rose 2.8% on a yearly basis in February, surprising estimates of 2.7%. 
Investor anxiety deepened following the latest University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, which showed 5-year forward inflation expectations jumping to 4.1% — a 0.2-point increase from prior estimates and the highest reading since February 1993. As stocks fell in unison, a flight to safety ensued, sending gold up 1% to a record-breaking $3,090 per ounce. Treasury bonds also rallied, with yields declining across all maturities.

BMO Capital Markets: Lululemon's gross margins expanded by 100 basis points (bps) year-on-year and came in 70bps above market expectations, "driven by better product margin and lower markdowns," Siegel said.
Management guided to first-quarter revenues in-line with expectations, while guiding to disappointing earnings. "We continue to see LULU as a strong, but overstretched, brand and are worried about long-term domestic and women&#8217;s revenue sizing as the brand continues to work on stretching further," the analyst added.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Lululemon reported revenues of $3.61 billion. That&#8217;s up 13% year-on-year and beating consensus of $3.57 billion. The company's gross margins expanded to 60.4%, driving earnings to $6.14 per share versus consensus of $5.84 per share, Owens said.
The analyst predicted that management would guide to full-year revenues of $11.15B—$11.3B. The company plans to continue investing in building brand awareness and open 40-45 new stores in 2025.
Goldman Sachs: Lululemon's margins outperformed forecasts by a wide margin, "largely driven by stronger top line delivery, disciplined expense management, and benefits from FX," Roach said. The company's earnings came in higher than its pre-announced range.
"Looking ahead, the company struck a constructive tone on its FY25 innovation pipeline, with newness planned across fabrications and franchises," the analyst wrote. Management guided to first-quarter earnings of $2.53-$2.58 per share, lower than consensus of $2.72 per share.
Needham: Lululemon Athletica had raised its fourth-quarter guidance in January and still delivered a beat, but this was overshadowed by disappointing full-year guidance, Nikic said. The company's latest outlook looks conservative, he added.
Although customers are responding well to the newness in Lululemon Athletica product line, this may not be enough to offset a "macro-related slowdown," the analyst stated. While the company has several upcoming innovations, it has "not been immune to the industry-wide slowdown in traffic due to heightened macroeconomic uncertainty.&#8221;
Telsey Advisory Group: Lululemon Athletica's quarterly beat was driven by "strength across the board, as sales, gross margin, and expense deleverage were all better than expected," Telsey said. The company's sales grew 12.7% to $3.612 billion and gross margins expanded to 60.4%, "nicely exceeding the market expectation," she added.
"Encouragingly, the newness was back to historical levels in 1Q25, following the pullback in FY24 that weighed on results," the analyst wrote. However, the company is impacted by a slowdown in traffic due to macro concerns in the US, she further stated.
BofA Securities: Customers responding well to newness increases confidence in Lululemon Athletica being able to accelerate sales growth in North America when traffic stabilizes, Hutchinson said. She added that the company has not embedded improving US trends in its full-year guidance, unlike its peers.
"If this consumer soft patch proves to be short-lived, we expect better product and activations to drive sales upside," she wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Lululemon had declined by 14.97% to $291.02 at the time of publication on Friday.

CEO Calvin McDonald gave some insight into the company's financial outlook during a conference call with analysts on Thursday, pointing to "dynamic" political and economic conditions affecting the U.S. consumer.&nbsp;
"Based on a survey we conducted earlier this month in conjunction with Ipsos, consumers are spending less due to increased concerns about inflation and the economy. This is manifesting itself into slower traffic across the industry in the U.S. in Quarter 1, which we are experiencing in our business as well," McDonald said on the call.&nbsp;
Though Lululemon stores are seeing less traffic, the CEO said the guests who visit stores are responding well to the "newness and innovations" of the brand.&nbsp;

What's Going On With Lululemon Shares Friday?

The preliminary reading had already raised eyebrows among investors, yet the final data turned out even worse than feared. 
Five-year ahead inflation expectations — which reflect American consumers' perceptions of more structural inflation concerns — jumped to 4.1% in March, according to the final report released by the University of Michigan.
This marks an upward revision from the preliminary estimate of 3.9%, bringing the gauge to its highest level since February 1993.
Inflation concerns for the next 12 months were also upwardly revised from 4.9% to 5%, marking the highest since July 2022.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Sentiment Sinks In March, Inflation Fears Go Haywire</h3>
The University of Michigan's headline consumer sentiment index was revised down to 57.0 in March from a preliminary 57.9, plunging from 64.7 in February. This is the weakest reading in consumer sentiment since November 2022.
&#8220;Consumer sentiment confirmed its early month reading and fell for the third straight month, plummeting 12% from February,&#8221; Surveys of Consumers director Joanne Hsu, said in a Friday&#8217;s note. 
The subindex tracking consumer expectation was downwardly revised from 54.2 to 52.6, hitting the lowest since July 2022. 
&#8220;The expectations index plunged a precipitous 18% and has now lost more than 30% since November 2024,&#8221; Hsu added. 
The subindex for current conditions witnessed a minor improvement from 63.5 to 63.8, yet still marking a nearly 3% decline from February. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Labor Market Concerns Rise</h3>
The report also highlighted growing concerns about the labor market. Consumers remain uneasy about potential economic fallout from current policy developments. Strikingly, two-thirds of respondents now expect unemployment to increase over the next year — the highest level since 2009. 
This trend underscores a critical vulnerability, as resilient labor markets and steady incomes have been the main pillars sustaining consumer spending in recent years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Earlier this month, Fed Chair Jerome Powell dismissed the University of Michigan's survey-based inflation expectations as an "outlier," downplaying its significance.
Investors, however, appear to disagree.
Major U.S. equity indices dropped sharply on Friday following the release of the final University of Michigan inflation data, which triggered an even stronger market reaction than the hotter-than-expected reading of the Fed's preferred inflation gauge earlier in the day. The S&amp;P 500 — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — fell 1.1%, while the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) underperformed with a 1.3% decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also slid 0.9%.
Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) led losses within the S&amp;P 500 index, plunging 15% after reporting weaker-than-expected earnings. 
Excluding Lululemon, consumer discretionary stocks — particularly those tied to the travel and leisure sectors — bore the brunt of the negative sentiment following the University of Michigan consumer data.
Shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) sunk 3.1%, heading for a fourth straight session of declines, while MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) plummeted 4.3%. 
Within Magnificent Seven stocks, Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMNZ#NASDAQ">AMNZ</a>) was the underperformer, down 3%, followed by Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), down 2.2%.
