<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NAOV Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in NanoVibronix&#8217;s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NAOV has a 52-week high of $13.97 and a 52-week low of $1.02.

NanoVibronix (NAOV) Stock Is Skyrocketing: What's Going On?

American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced a $200 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44354677/aeo-inc-announces-200-million-accelerated-share-repurchase-program">accelerated share repurchase program</a>.
What Happened: American Eagle entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Bank of America to repurchase $200 million of its common stock.
The company expects to complete the accelerated share repurchase agreement in connection with its existing buyback authorization of 68.5 million shares. The accelerated buyback equates to approximately 18.1 million shares at Friday&#8217;s closing price.
&#8220;We are pleased to announce an accelerated share repurchase program, which reflects our strong capital position and confidence in our long-term strategic growth plan. This program, combined with our quarterly cash dividend, underscores our commitment to a balanced approach to capital allocation and delivering strong returns to shareholders,&#8221; said Jay Schottenstein, executive chairman and CEO of American Eagle.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is AEO A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AEO">American Eagle</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. American Eagle does pay a dividend, which yields 2.98% per year as of the closing price on Mar. 17, 2025. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AEO">American Eagle</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
AEO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/aeo">American Eagle shares</a> were up 6.37% at $11.77 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Behind the Scenes of Alibaba Gr Hldgs's Latest Options Trends

U.S. retail sales edged up only slightly in February, falling well short of expectations and keeping alive concerns about consumer strength <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44355195/retail-sales-rebound-less-than-expected-in-february-online-healthcare-spending-show-strong-gains">after January's dire contraction.</a>
Yet, a closer look at the latest data continues to reveal pockets of resilience leaving investors and economists debating whether consumer demand is cooling or simply shifting. 
In data released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau, the retail sales figure showed a 0.2% monthly growth in February, following a downwardly revised 1.2% drop in January. The headline figure missed economist estimates of 0.6%. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Far From Being An Outright Recession</h3>
&#8220;The unfavorable surprise on U.S. headline retail sales—monthly growth of 0.2% compared to the consensus forecast of 0.6%—was not reflected in the other numbers in this data release,&#8221; said Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz.
A particularly important measure, known as the retail sales &#8220;control group&#8221;—which excludes spending at auto dealers, building materials, gas stations, office supply stores, mobile home dealers, and tobacco retailers—jumped 1% in February. This fully offset January's 1% decline and handily beat estimates of a modest 0.2% gain.
This control group is closely watched because it feeds directly into GDP calculations, making it a key indicator of underlying consumer demand. 
Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US LP, said the data remains consistent with a slowing but still solid pace of household spending. 
&#8220;On a three-month average annualized pace, the control group advanced 2.6%,&#8221; Brusuelas said. &#8220;Yes, the economy is slowing, but not in line with anything near a recession yet.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Restaurants And Bars See Sharp Drops</h3>
Not all areas of consumer spending fared well. 
One of the most striking data points was the decline in restaurant and bar sales, which fell 1.54% in February—the largest drop since February 2023, as highlighted by Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist at Charles Schwabb. 
&#8220;Over the last three months, restaurant sales have collapsed 8.5% at an annual rate,&#8221; Reinassance Macro Research indicated.
This pullback suggests that discretionary spending may be softening as households become more selective about where to spend their money.
&#8220;Notable weakness in restaurants and bars—the largest decline in two years—with no growth over the last three months,&#8221; Gregory Daco, chief economist at Ernst &amp; Young US, said. 
&#8220;Spending growth at restaurant chains decelerated from -1.7% in January to -7.5% in February while spending at independent restaurants turned negative, failing from +2.6% in January to -2.7% in February,&#8221; Sara Senatore, analyst at Bank of America, wrote in a note Monday.
&#8220;We believe this sequential&nbsp;deceleration is largely a combination of negative weather trends that worsened from January and the impact of calendar shifts, including one less day (2024 had a leap day) and the Valentine&#8217;s Day shift from a Wednesday in 2024 to a Friday in 2025,&#8221; she added. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Consumer Staples Rally, Discretionary Stocks Lag</h3>
Stocks tied to non-discretionary consumer spending saw a solid rebound Monday, as investors rotated into defensive plays. 
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>) rose 0.9%, led by Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BF#NYSE">BF</a>), which surged 2.8% on the back of rising U.S.-Europe trade tensions over whiskey tariffs. 
Other major gainers included Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>), The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>), and Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), all of which climbed about 2%.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>) gained 1.1%, with notable jumps from Guess Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>), up 32%, EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), up 7%, and American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>), up 6.8%.
However, the consumer discretionary sector struggled to gain traction. 
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) inched up just 0.1%, weighed down by concerns over spending cutbacks. Still, a few travel and leisure names saw gains, with Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>), Carnival Corp.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) each rising around 3%.
