Shares of companies in the broader software sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) announced on Wednesday that it realized higher oil and gas production prices in the first quarter of 2025 than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in the previous quarter</a>.
The company <a href="https://occidentalpetroleum.gcs-web.com/static-files/f2dd6055-d76f-4c4f-bfa9-587e784a7c95">reported</a> that its worldwide average realized oil price rose to $71.07 per barrel, up from $69.73 in the final quarter of 2024. Natural gas prices also significantly increased, averaging $2.30 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $1.26 previously.
The average realized price for natural gas liquids climbed approximately 19%, rising from $21.80 to $25.94 per barrel.

Last week, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) projected modest first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44644170/exxon-mobil-projects-sequential-earnings-bump-on-energy-price-swings-ahead-of-q1-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings growth</a>, driven by shifts in energy prices and industry margins. The company expects oil and gas price changes to increase Upstream earnings by up to $400 million, while improved industry margins could contribute an additional $300 million to $700 million to Energy Products. Timing effects are also anticipated to add up to $0.5 billion each to Upstream and Energy Products.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day suspension of tariffs for non-retaliating countries. This sparked a broad market rally, boosted oil and gas stocks, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44724489/oil-gas-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-for-u-s-allies-isolates-china" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifted</a> the outlook for crude demand. 
According <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/china-trump-tariffs-live-updates.html">to</a> CNBC, the Trump administration imposed a steep 145% tariff on Chinese imports on Thursday, straining an already contentious relationship between Washington, D.C. and Beijing. 
WTI crude fell to $60 per barrel last week—its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44667862/oil-crashes-to-60-per-barrel-as-recession-fears-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowest</a> price since April 2021. Goldman Sachs raised U.S. recession odds to 45%. Meanwhile, OPEC+ unexpectedly hiked output, adding pressure and fueling industry criticism of the unpredictable trade policy.
Price Action: OXY shares were trading lower by 8.35% at $36.87 at the last check Thursday.

"OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman Says He Won't Rule Out Helping The Pentagon Develop A New Weapons Platform" -Bloomberg

International tourism to the U.S. is taking a hit — and analysts say it may be tied to the Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44678625/did-trump-team-manipulate-tariff-formula-to-achieve-higher-rates-experts-weigh-in-as-they-think-whole-thing-was-rigged">recent tariffs</a> and political rhetoric. A new forecast from <a href="https://www.tourismeconomics.com/press/in-the-news/us-rolls-up-welcome-mat-for-international-travel/">Tourism Economics</a> predicts a 9.4% drop in total international visitors this year, nearly doubling the previous forecast of a 5% decline made just weeks earlier.
At the start of the year, travel experts had expected a rebound. After a strong 2024 — which saw a 9.1% increase in foreign tourism — the outlook was optimistic. But that has shifted quickly.

</ul>
"With each policy development, each rhetorical missive, we're just seeing unforced error after unforced error in the administration," said Adam Sacks, president of Tourism Economics.
Now, instead of growth, the industry is bracing for a potential loss of $9 billion in international spending.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canadian Tourism Falls Sharply</h2>
One of the most dramatic declines is in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44592941/tariff-tensions-could-hurt-us-gdp-as-canadian-tourism-cools-goldman-sachs">travel from Canada</a>. Tourism Economics estimates a 20% drop in Canadian visitors to the U.S. this year. The <a href="https://www.ustravel.org/press/potential-results-decline-canadian-travel-united-states">U.S. Travel Association</a> warned earlier that even a 10% drop could result in 2 million fewer visits, $2.1 billion in lost revenue, and 14,000 fewer jobs.
That downturn is already showing in flight data. According to Travel Weekly, aviation analytics firm OAG found that advanced bookings from Canada to the U.S. this summer are down more than 70% from May through September.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
States that typically see a lot of Canadian visitors — like New York, Michigan, Florida, and California — could feel the effects most directly.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tensions Extend Beyond Canada</h2>
While Canada represents a major share of the decline, it&#8217;s not the only country pulling back. High-profile incidents at U.S. borders involving European tourists and tensions with countries like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44532485/putin-alarms-about-trumps-serious-plans-to-annex-greenland-these-plans-have-long-standing-historical-roots">Greenland</a> and Ukraine have also contributed to a chill in global sentiment toward visiting the U.S.
The U.S. Tour Operators Association said in a recent email to members that new tariffs could be hurting the country's image abroad. USTOA President Terry Dale said that the tariffs may raise prices on travel-related goods and services — such as hotel supplies, food, and imported beverages — which could, in turn, raise costs for both travelers and the businesses that serve them.
See Also: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Broader Economic Impact</h2>
Beyond tourism, higher tariffs could weaken consumers' purchasing power overall, according to Elevate, the government affairs firm for USTOA. That could lead to fewer discretionary purchases — including vacations — for both domestic and international travelers.
And while it's still too soon to measure the long-term effects, the travel sector is already sounding the alarm. In a recent Travel Weekly survey, 52% of travel advisors said they were very concerned about how federal policy changes could affect their business. More than half said their clients were worried about rising anti-American sentiment abroad.
With billions in potential losses on the line, the tourism industry is keeping a close eye on the ripple effects of current policies — and hoping the market finds its footing before the summer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44335131/vacation-planning-hits-15-year-low-in-latest-sign-of-cash-strapped-us-consumer">travel season</a> peaks.

In October 2024, the company entered into an agreement with&nbsp;Roche Holdings AG&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) to advance the evaluation of amezalpat (TPST-1120) in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq) and bevacizumab, the current standard of care for unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), into a Phase 3 trial for the first-line&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41271516/why-is-cancer-focused-tempest-therapeutics-stock-trading-higher-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">treatment of liver cancer</a>.
Under the agreement, Roche will supply atezolizumab globally and Tempest will sponsor and lead the pivotal study.
Analyst George Farmer writes that Roche appears to have no financial interest in the Phase 3 evaluation of amezalpat in combination with atezo/bev, despite the quality of results that Tempest Therapeutics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39412888/whats-going-on-with-cancer-focused-tempest-therapeutics-stock-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">presented last June</a>.
Other potential partners with deep pockets, like AstraZeneca and Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co, with their own cancer immunotherapies, are uninterested.
&#8220;Lack of partner interest in this program, including negligible BD engagement from Roche beyond promise of providing a free Phase 3 supply of atezolizumab, indicates to us that this is probably a broken story that cannot be repaired without additional early-stage clinical exploration,&#8221; Farmer writes.
&#8220;We think the company may ultimately attract a buyer, but we would not expect a significant transaction premium above the current trading range,&#8221; Farmer adds.
HC Wainwright downgraded Tempest Therapeutics from Buy to Neutral while maintaining the price target of $16.
TPST Price Action: Tempest Therapeutics stock is down 6.93% at $6.65 at publication on Thursday.

GameStop's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) short percent of float has risen 68.21% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 47.56 million shares sold short, which is 12.75% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

What Does the Market Think About Sterling Infrastructure?

In the current session, Dillard's Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDS#NYSE">DDS</a>) is trading at $318.40, after a 2.94% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 14.89%, and in the past year, by 24.82%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744300820_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Dillard's P/E Relative to Its Competitors</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 38.81 in the Broadline Retail industry, Dillard's Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.91. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744300820_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
