  • Why Trump's tariffs may not crush Nike, Lululemon, or other retail stocks
    Feb 5 2025
    The retail sector felt somewhat well, having had a successful 2024 holiday shopping season. Many of the players in the space were looking forward to unemployment staying low and the Federal Reserve pausing rate hikes as key tailwinds to consumer spending in 2025. Then came the start of a trade war by returning President Donald Trump. The implementation of China tariffs stands to rattle retail supply chains and raise costs, which could hammer profit margins. Bottom lines could also be hurt if price increases related to tariffs get rejected by shoppers. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi chats with BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel about which retailers are most exposed to tariffs. Should investors stay away from these names? The two also discussed the turnaround taking shape at Nike (NKE) under the new CEO, Elliott Hill. Key to the turnaround for Nike will be a better product to take on the likes of Decker’s Outdoor (DECK) and ON Running (ONON).

  • Why Bill Gates agrees with Nvidia's CEO on quantum's timeline, plus new memoir 'Source Code': EXTENDED CUT
    Feb 3 2025

The company has swallowed up a giant acquisition in video publisher Activision Blizzard with relative ease, while also leveraging insights from a LinkedIn business purchased several years ago. While Gates is no longer involved with the company day-to-day, he remains its spiritual adviser, so to speak. He also remains tremendously active in next-generation technology and trying to cure diseases via the Gates Foundation (formerly the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). But what is the story behind Gates, who is viewed as one of the most transformational leaders of the past fifty years alongside Apple co-founder Steve Jobs? In Gates' new book titled “Source Code," he aims to pull back the curtain on his childhood and rocketship rise to fame during his Microsoft years. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Gates to drill into the book, as well as get Gates’ views on the future of AI, quantum computing, and healthcare.
