BIDU

A Closer Look at Baidu's Options Market Dynamics

Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) made headlines in May by becoming the first cryptocurrency exchange included in the S&amp;P 500 index, marking a significant milestone for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the crypto industry</a>. 
This inclusion signals growing mainstream acceptance and positions Coinbase among America's largest and most influential companies. 
But just weeks after its debut, Coinbase is facing its first major challenge: tariff-induced market turbulence and a rocky crypto environment that threaten to stall its momentum.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Inclusion: A Watershed Moment For Crypto</h2>
Coinbase's addition to the S&amp;P 500 reflects its operational maturity, liquidity, and profitability &#8211; criteria that few crypto companies meet. Representing roughly 0.11% of the index, Coinbase's inclusion has brought the exchange under the spotlight of institutional investors and index-tracking funds, leading to significant passive inflows. Shares jumped 24% after the announcement, signaling strong optimism.
However, this newfound spotlight also means Coinbase must now navigate broader market pressures alongside crypto-specific challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Turbulence Rattles Investor Confidence</h2>
The rollout of President Donald Trump's tariff policies in early 2025 has disrupted global trade and shaken investor sentiment. Tariffs on Chinese goods have indirectly impacted crypto markets by curbing risk appetite, with Bitcoin and Coinbase stock showing heightened correlation during market sell-offs. 
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45919626/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-teases-crypto-credit-card-powered-by-american-express-bitcoin-cashbacks-offered-but-heres-the-catch">Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Teases Crypto Credit Card Powered By American Express—Bitcoin Cashbacks Offered, But Here&#8217;s The Catch</a>
This volatility hit Coinbase hard: the stock fell more than 6% year-to-date and faced double-digit declines in early 2025 amid tariff uncertainty.
Given that Coinbase commands about 66% of the U.S. crypto trading market, declines in trading volume &#8211; down 10% in the first quarter &#8211; have translated directly into lower revenues. Tariff-driven economic slowdowns could further pressure Coinbase's core business, making this an important stress test for the newly minted S&amp;P 500 member.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can New Products Light The Way Forward?</h2>
Despite the hurdles, Coinbase is not sitting idle. At the 2025 State of Crypto Summit, Coinbase unveiled an ambitious slate of new products aimed at expanding its revenue streams and solidifying its crypto ecosystem.
Key initiatives include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45921146/shopify-teams-up-with-coinbase-stripe-to-roll-out-usdc-stablecoin-payments-for-merchants">partnership with Shopify</a> Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) enabling crypto payments on a commerce platform handling nearly $500 billion in annual merchandise value, supported by Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, Base.</li>
<li>Expansion of Coinbase Payments infrastructure to more than 200 businesses, including SAP and Deel, targeting the multi-trillion dollar payments market.</li>
<li>Retail innovations like the Coinbase One Basic subscription tier and a new Bitcoin rewards credit card in partnership with American Express, aiming to build steady, subscription-like revenue.</li>
<li>Integration of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading with the legacy Coinbase app, allowing users to access every on-chain asset seamlessly.</li>
<li>Business-focused treasury management tools that help small businesses transact and store crypto, fiat, and stablecoins with added yield incentives.</li>
</ul>
These developments show Coinbase's focus on broadening its total addressable market beyond trading fees toward payments, subscriptions, and business services.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
JPMorgan analyst Kenneth B. Worthington maintains a Neutral rating on Coinbase with a December 2025 price target of $215, emphasizing that while the crypto ecosystem is still in early stages, Coinbase is well positioned to benefit from industry growth.
Still, the company's S&amp;P 500 debut is being tested by external economic pressures that could weigh on short-term results. Investors will be watching closely to see if Coinbase's new product launches and expanding crypto infrastructure can offset tariff-induced headwinds and pave the way for sustainable growth.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Dover Through 9 Analysts

Being faced with a turbulent trade environment in recent months, luxury furnishing retailer RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) is taking several steps and even leaning into the volatility to tackle the tariffs.
What Happened: On Thursday, during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45915485/rh-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-despite-worst-housing-market-in-50-years">first quarter results</a>, the company outlined its plans to outmaneuver the industry turmoil caused by President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, while using the disruption to reset its supply chains and grab market share.
This comes as many of its competitors, according to CEO Gary Friedman, are on the verge of bankruptcy. &#8220;We stopped shipments,&#8221; Friedman says, in response to the tariffs, adding that the surprise tariff announcements in early April didn&#8217;t follow suit with business as usual. &#8220;You don't just go, Oh yes, business as usual,&#8221; he said.
As a result, RH expects second-quarter revenue growth to slow to between 8% and 10%, compared to 12% growth in Q1, citing a roughly six-point drag attributed to the tariffs. The shortfall is expected to be recovered in the second half of the year.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45921146/shopify-teams-up-with-coinbase-stripe-to-roll-out-usdc-stablecoin-payments-for-merchants">Shopify Teams Up With Coinbase, Stripe To Roll Out USDC Stablecoin Payments For Merchants</a>
In response to the tariffs, RH is cutting its imports from China, from 16% to just 2%, while ramping up production domestically in the U.S., as well as in Italy for its core upholstery categories. It says that some of its vendor partners have agreed to absorb a significant portion of the tariff burden.
Despite the near-term turbulence, Friedman framed the situation as an opportunity. &#8220;There [are] a lot of people going bankrupt,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They don't have the scale, the leverage, or the strategic flexibility.&#8221; 
According to Friedman, RH's ability to act decisively in a downturn, rather than retreat, positions it to emerge stronger as others falter.
Why It Matters: Being significantly exposed to international trade, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729499/rh-rallies-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-that-triggered-40-selloff">stock plunged 40%</a> when the tariffs were first announced, which coincided with a disappointing fourth quarter performance. 
It, however, rallied 29% just a few days down the line when Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729499/rh-rallies-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-that-triggered-40-selloff">a 90-day pause</a> on the tariffs, which underscores the level of exposure the company has to foreign trade and tariffs.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45915485/rh-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-despite-worst-housing-market-in-50-years">first quarter results</a> on Thursday, RH reported $813.95 million in revenue, and while it missed consensus estimates at $818.12 million, it came in well ahead of estimates on earnings, at $0.13 per share, against analysts estimating a loss of $0.009 per share. 
Price Action: Shares of RH were down 1.18% on Thursday, ending at $176.87, but have since surged 18.05% during after-hours, following its first quarter results.

What 9 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About AvalonBay Communities

Bank of America Securities analyst Rafe Jadrosich upgraded Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) to Neutral from Underperform, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $68 to $94</a>.
Jadrosich upgraded the stock, citing improved North American margin prospects and tariff-related tailwinds.
The analyst lifted 2025 estimates to $8.56 from $8.35 and 2026 EPS estimates to $10.33 from $9.39, as Whirlpool&#8217;s domestic production stands to benefit from new appliance-related steel tariffs.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45646887/why-whirlpools-margins-have-tailwinds-despite-memorial-day-promotions" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Whirlpool&#8217;s Margins Have Tailwinds Despite Memorial Day Promotions</a>
Despite long-term concerns over free cash flow sufficiency for deleveraging and sustaining the $400 million annual dividend, the analyst writes that the recent debt refinancing and expected India business sale in the second half of 2025 provide enough support through the company&#8217;s 2026 maturity.
Jadrosich highlighted multiple times that Whirlpool is relatively well positioned to benefit from new Section 232 tariffs, which will impose a 50% duty on the steel content of imported home appliances starting June 23.
Since 80% of Whirlpool&#8217;s U.S. sales are domestically produced and 96% of its steel is U.S.-sourced, the company faces minimal impact.
In contrast, competitors who rely on imports for over half of their U.S. sales, around 20% from China and 15% from Korea, previously enjoyed a cost advantage by bypassing steel tariffs through finished goods imports, a benefit now significantly reduced.
According to the analyst, the tariffs could force competitors to raise wholesale appliance prices by 3–5%, or roughly $15–$20 per unit, to offset increased steel costs, potentially giving Whirlpool a competitive edge.
Since Whirlpool earns less than a 7% margin on a typical sub-$500 wholesale appliance, a $15–$20 price lift on half its North America volume could boost EBIT margins by 150–200 basis points and raise profits by 20–30%.
With appliance manufacturing being a low-margin business, he expects rivals to pass on costs, which may allow Whirlpool to gain share or expand margins, Jadrosich adds.
The analyst raised fiscal year 2027 earnings per share to $10.73 from $9.96.
Price Action: WHR shares are trading higher by 5.12% to $92.04&nbsp;at last check Friday.

MSCI's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 24.89% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.14 million shares sold short, which is 1.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.42 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Evaluating Datadog P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Datadog has a better P/E ratio of 261.02 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 168.67 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that Datadog Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749837628_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Carlyle Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Carlyle Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Carlyle Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.69%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Carvana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) shares are trading lower Friday following a wave of bearish options activity and a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/45907679/insider-transaction-ryan-s-keeton-sells-3-84m-worth-of-carvana-shares">insider sale. </a>
What To Know: Despite recent strong financial performance and ongoing brand marketing efforts, large investors are showing caution. Data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga </a>indicates a notable uptick in bearish sentiment among options traders, with 51% of 29 large trades identified as bearish, compared to just 34% bullish. Some of the largest trades include put and call options targeting strike prices as high as $450 and as low as $160, signaling a wide range of expectations and uncertainty about the stock&#8217;s future trajectory.
Further pressure came after Chief Brand Officer Ryan Keeton sold more than $3.8 million worth of shares earlier this week, as disclosed in a recent <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1690820/000169082025000238/Archives/edgar/data/1690820/000169082025000238/0001690820-25-000238-index.htm">SEC filing</a>. While insider sales aren't always negative signals, they can raise investor concern, especially when paired with bearish options trends.
Carvana's fundamentals <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/06/45926315/check-out-what-whales-are-doing-with-cvna">remain a mixed bag</a>. Revenue has grown over 38% year-over-year, and the company maintains a gross margin of nearly 22%. However, its EPS remains below industry averages, and its debt-to-equity ratio is high at 4.02, suggesting reliance on borrowing. The stock trades at elevated valuation multiples, including a P/E ratio of 118.58 and an EV/EBITDA of 30.28, which may be contributing to market hesitation.
In the background, Carvana launched a national ad campaign featuring actor Jon Hamm to highlight the ease of selling cars through its platform. While the campaign aims to boost customer engagement, it hasn't yet offset the impact of insider selling and bearish institutional sentiment in the market. 
CVNA Price Action: Carvana shares were down 5.88% at $300.19 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Mastercard inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) shares are trading lower Friday following a WSJ report suggesting major retailers like Walmart and Amazon are exploring the creation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/06/45930937/shares-of-credit-card-companies-are-trading-lower-following-a-wsj-report-suggesting-walmart-and-amaz">their own stablecoins.</a>
What To Know: The move could signal a significant threat to the traditional payments infrastructure, including Mastercard and Visa, which currently dominate credit and debit card transactions across the U.S.
According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/walmart-amazon-stablecoin-07de2fdd?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAj9S-R7vo5MV7ehEnaJMA-3_5m19jnPJW-7T_LMOYcsuf_zmTCTRIKpSlnBIsQ%3D&amp;gaa_ts=684c5982&amp;gaa_sig=TPl_bAgcDQIrpGcMKKSD0oP0jdvE2nKA-1z3b_Dbl1IYA1MmhfHbTIRLtztEXsS2dlLKiUANoI6t9Be0xJkqzg%3D%3D">The Wall Street Journal</a>, citing sources familiar with the matter, both Walmart and Amazon have been in discussions about launching digital tokens tied to the U.S. dollar. Stablecoins offer the potential for near-instant settlement and could reduce or eliminate billions in card processing fees that merchants pay annually. This development, if realized, could bypass existing payment networks entirely, severely undercutting Mastercard's role in the transaction process.
Retailers are also considering partnering with existing stablecoin issuers or forming a consortium to issue coins jointly, further accelerating the shift. However, these efforts depend heavily on the passage of the Genius Act, a proposed federal law that would regulate stablecoin usage and issuance. The bill recently advanced in Congress but still requires full approval.
The news underscores a growing interest among large corporations in disrupting traditional banking and payments systems. Mastercard, long considered a secure bet in the financial sector, faces renewed pressure to defend its position amid rising competition from digital alternatives. 
MA Price Action: Mastercard shares were down 4.63% at $561.99 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>
