Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Tesla, Nvidia, FedEx - And The Market Digests The Fed's Rate Decision

Benzinga Senior Editor

March 22, 2025

Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors' favorite stocks over the last week -- here's a look at some of our top stories.

Markets ended the week mixed, with the S&P 500 and Dow slipping while the Nasdaq notched a slight gain, buoyed by strength in tech. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) extended its losing streak to a ninth consecutive week despite a broad market rebound earlier.

Investors digested a Federal Reserve decision to hold rates steady, alongside revised projections showing slower GDP growth and higher inflation for 2024. Fed Chair Jerome Powell downplayed the impact of potential tariffs as "transitory."

Meanwhile, jobless claims remained steady, and traders weighed the likelihood of rate cuts later this year amid stubborn inflation and economic uncertainty.

Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

"FedEx Shares Fall After Q3 Earnings Miss, Lower FY25 Revenue Forecast", by Shivani Kumaresan, reports that FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX) tumbled after missing fiscal third-quarter earnings estimates and trimming its full-year revenue outlook amid continued demand weakness.
