On the edition of Stock Movers:
- Wynn Resorts (WYNN) was among the week's biggest movers. It rose this week after UBS raised its recommendation to buy from neutral, citing growing appreciation for its Al Marjan project.
- eBay (EBAY) shares fell this week as Wall Street anticipated the end of the de minimis tariff exemption. De minimis, a US trade provision dating to the 1930s, which eventually cleared the way for more than a billion small parcels each year, ended Friday. While winners and losers are emerging, the extra time, paperwork and money are gumming up the gears of global e-commerce and adding a fresh layer of confusion in President Donald Trump’s reordering of international trade. The value of goods subject to the “de minimis” tariff exemption — from Latin meaning “too small to matter” — has been $800 since 2016, very generous by global standards. The number of small packages entering the US duty-free exploded to nearly 1.4 billion last year, a 600% increase over the prior decade, according to US Customs and Border Protection. An estimated three-quarters or more came from China, with a big share from SheIn Group and Temu.
- Nvidia (NVDA) was one of Wall Street's biggest stories this week. The the world’s most valuable company, gave a tepid revenue forecast for the current period, signaling that growth is decelerating after a staggering two-year boom in artificial intelligence spending. Sales will be roughly $54 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which runs through October, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Though that was in line with the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts had projected more than $60 billion.
