Morgan Stanley has reported that President Trump's tariff policy is creating market uncertainty comparable to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, negatively impacting corporate earnings forecasts and long-term planning. In related news, Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, calling for an immediate rate cut, which contributed to a decline in the U.S. dollar and stock market, while Bitcoin saw a slight increase, surpassing $88,000. Citigroup anticipates a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June.
Capital One has received final regulatory approvals for its $35 billion acquisition of Discover Financial Services, setting a closing date of May 18. The merger aims to enhance competition in the banking and payments sectors, creating a stronger rival to Visa and Mastercard, while maintaining existing customer service channels for both companies. However, integrating their distinct cultures and operations will present significant challenges.
Morgan Stanley is enhancing its E*Trade platform to attract active day traders with the launch of "Power E*Trade Pro." This new desktop application allows for extensive customization, featuring up to 120 tools across six screens. Currently in a pilot phase, it is set for a full launch in June.
Citi has maintained a Buy rating on Charles Schwab Corp. with a target price of $102, following strong first-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations. Analyst Chris Allen highlighted the company's promising growth in Net New Assets and revenue, alongside a strategic investment in Wealth.com to enhance wealth management services. Other analysts have varied ratings, with some projecting significant earnings recovery potential and increased capital returns anticipated in 2025 and 2026.
Michael Gapen, head of US economics at Morgan Stanley, indicates that upcoming data will reflect the impact of President Trump's tariffs. He discusses the potential economic and market consequences of these tariffs, alongside the Federal Reserve's reliance on data and Trump's threats regarding Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
US economic data is entering a "tariff zone," with concerns that high tariffs between the US and China may lead to a significant slowdown in trade volumes, as indicated by a sharp drop in the Philly Fed PMI new orders. The Federal Reserve is expected to remain data-dependent, potentially delaying policy adjustments as they navigate inflation and labor market challenges, which could result in a late response to economic changes.
Morgan Stanley has lowered its price target for Kimco Realty Corporation to $22 from $24. The company focuses on owning and managing community and convenience shopping malls, with a portfolio of 523 properties covering 8,333,410 m², primarily in the United States and Puerto Rico.

Goldman Sachs followed Barclays in value with $38.6 billion, while Houlihan Lokey ranked second in volume with 16 deals.

Wells Fargo has raised its price target for Netflix to $1,222, maintaining an Overweight rating, citing strong Q1 results with a 12.5% revenue increase to $10.5 billion and an EPS of $6.61, surpassing estimates by 17%. Analysts project continued growth, with upward revisions in revenue and operating income margins for 2025 and 2026, despite anticipated expense increases. Other firms, including Morgan Stanley and Canaccord Genuity, have also raised their targets, reflecting confidence in Netflix's business model and profitability.
