Fed's Williams Says Labor Market In Good Balance, Not An Inflation Driver; Fed Has Made Significant Progress Lowering Inflation; Inflation Expectations Are Well Anchored; US Economy Is In A Good Place

Fed's Williams Says Monetary Policy Well Positioned To Achieve Fed Goals; Modestly Restrictive Policy Should Return Inflation To 2%; Economic Outlook Is Highly Uncertain Due In Part To Government Policy; Inflation To Hang Around 2.5% This Year, 2% In Coming Years; Us To Grow By Around 2% This Year And Next; Us Unemployment Rate Should Stay Between 4% To 4.25%

<p>Financial technology powerhouse <strong>Robinhood Markets Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) easily ranks among the top innovators, providing a convenient mechanism for the democratization of investing. </p>
<p>Naturally, Robinhood stock has absorbed significant interest, gaining about 350% over the past one-year period. Still, such astounding performances raise concerns about overvaluation — concerns that the smart money appears to be digesting.</p>
<p>In terms of the headline statistic, the biggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43628104/robinhood-markets-unusual-options-activity-for-february-11">unusual options trade</a> by far earlier today in terms of dollar value went to $50 call options featuring bullish sentiment. However, the total number of trades leaned bearishly, with 50% of investors opening trades with bearish expectations while 45% opened with bullish expectations.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it's not such a cut-and-dry case. Late last week, the sentiment fissure was much more pronounced, with big-money traders splitting their funds 55% in the bearish direction and 34% in the bullish, with the remainder directed as neutral transactions.</p>
<p>Put another way, the most prudent approach may be to consider Robinhood stock as a volatility trade. However, there could be an argument for a directionally bullish wager considering the relative uptick in bullish transactions among the big-money traders.</p>
<p>Yes, on the surface, Robinhood&#8217;s stock seems wildly overvalued. For example, the equity currently trades at <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/hood/key-statistics">20.49-times trailing-12-month sales</a>. Around this point last year, this metric sat at only 9.62 times. However, analysts overall anticipate that Robinhood will generate $3.37 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025. Based on this projection, the forward sales multiple declines to a much more reasonable 14.2 times.</p>
<p>Moreover, investors must appreciate Robinhood's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40752830/robinhood-shifted-from-meme-stock-to-market-contender-amid-new-products-and-global-">ambitious objectives</a>. As Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish noted last year, Robinhood's potential future growth enjoys several fresh catalysts: new products (like futures and credit cards), geographic expansion (particularly in the U.K.) and new channels, particularly in the cryptocurrency realm.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Framing HOOD Stock as a ‘FOMO' Trade</h2>
<p>Perhaps the biggest takeaway regarding Robinhood stock from a trading perspective is that it responds aggressively to FOMO or the fear of missing out. In other words, this is a security that thrives on positive energy. However, speculators should also realize the opposite is also true: the stock price tends to tank on negative energy.</p>
<p>From a purely stochastic or temporal view, a position entered at the beginning of the week has around a 52.5% chance of rising by the end of it. The long odds continue to be above a coin toss in two and three-week intervals. However, by the end of the fourth week, the long odds dip slightly to 49.17%.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11144027/HOOD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-777252" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11144027/HOOD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11144027/HOOD-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11144027/HOOD-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11144027/HOOD-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Image by author</em></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>On a dynamic basis (accounting for certain conditions), the probabilities fluctuate noticeably. For example, last week, the stock gained 15.2%. Historically, whenever Robinhood gained between 10% and 20% during a one-week period, the long odds for the subsequent week spiked to around 73%. By the end of the fourth subsequent week following this extreme-greed event, the long odds are still favorable at 60%.</p>
<p>Interestingly, investors do not show a tendency of buying the dips in the company&#8217;s stock. Following a weekly loss between 10% and 20%, the chances that Robinhood will rise in the subsequent week lands at only 35.3%. Over the course of four weeks, long odds are even worse at 29.4%.</p>
<p>That's not to say that these statistical tendencies guarantee a move in one direction or another because they absolutely do not. However, investors should realize that strength in Robinhood stock continues to bolster more strength. At the same time, severe corrections tend to scare off traders, adding to the high-stakes atmosphere.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plotting an Effective Options Strategy for Robinhood</h2>
<p>Arguably, the most sensible options-based approach for the company is to treat it as a volatility trade. One week after the aforementioned extreme-greed event (which coincides with the options chain expiring Feb. 14), the median return under the positive scenario is 3.07% while the median loss under the negative scenario is 4.93%. Based on last Friday's close as the anchor, that would target a high of $57.57 and a low of $53.11.</p>
<p>Complicating matters, though, is the wildly high <a href="https://optioncharts.io/options/HOOD/volatility-skew">implied volatility</a> (IV) of approximately 168%. Essentially, IV represents the market's anticipation of mobility in the target asset. Using reverse engineering which accounts for the time decay of options, market makers are anticipating a move of $8.27 in either direction; therefore, roughly $62.48 at the high or $45.94 at the low.</p>
<p>One approach may involve splitting the difference between the two data sets, thus targeting $60 at the high and around $50 at the low. For this trade, one could consider the 50P &#x7C; 52P &#x7C;&#x7C; 58C &#x7C; 60C long iron condor for the options chain expiring this Friday.</p>
<p>The above transaction combines the 50/52 bear put spread and the 58/60 bull call spread, with the maximum payout triggered if Robinhood stock rises to $60 or falls to $50. At time of writing, a trader risks $140 for the chance to earn a maximum of $60.</p>
<p>Of course, the long iron condor features a less-attractive reward profile because the trader is essentially paying two premiums. On the other hand, for traders who believe in the bullish statistical tendency, the framework becomes quite alluring.</p>
<p>As an example, long speculators may consider the 57/60 bull call spread for the options chain expiring March 7. This transaction requires a net debit of $99 for the chance to earn a maximum reward of $201. That's a payout of 203% compared to the long iron condor's 43% payout.</p>

Reddit Q4 Earnings Preview: Can Recently Public Company Beat Estimates Four Straight Quarters?

<p><strong>Intel Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday, driven by comments from U.S. <strong>Vice President JD Vance </strong>about protecting American artificial intelligence and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43635364/us-stocks-dip-as-powell-stays-cautious-intel-climbs-tesla-sinks-to-11-week-low">semiconductor technologies</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/11/intel-rises-after-vp-vance-promises-to-safeguard-american-ai-and-chips.html">According to CNBC</a>, the stock reacted to Vance's remarks at the Paris AI summit, where he pledged to block foreign adversaries from stealing and misusing AI for military and intelligence purposes.</p>
<p>Vance stated that authoritarian regimes have exploited AI for surveillance, propaganda, and military advancements and that the U.S. would take aggressive action to prevent such activities. While he did not directly mention China's DeepSeek AI, he emphasized the need for international cooperation to limit adversarial access to AI technology.</p>
<p>Intel has struggled to regain its position in the semiconductor industry after losing significant market share to competitors like Nvidia and Broadcom. The stock fell 60% last year as the company lagged in AI chip development. In its most recent earnings report, Intel posted a third consecutive quarter of declining revenue and issued a weak forecast. The company is also undergoing leadership changes following the departure of CEO <strong>Pat Gelsinger.</strong></p>
<p>Despite its challenges, Intel has secured billions in government subsidies to build semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the U.S. as part of an effort to strengthen domestic production. The company is currently led by interim co-CEOs <strong>David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus.</strong></p>
<p><strong>INTC Price Action: </strong>Intel corporation shares were up 6.42% at $21.04 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga pro.</a></p>

Intel Shares Are Up Today: What's Going On?

<p>Boeing&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Starliner program has turned into a costly and embarrassing failure. The aerospace giant has spent more than $2 billion on the troubled spacecraft, including $523 million in charges just in 2024, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This financial catastrophe is the result of numerous delays, technical malfunctions, and growing testing and certification expenses. NASA and Boeing originally agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/40026075/boeing-wins-space-mission-contracts-owing-to-its-armies-of-lobbyists-says-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-amid">$4.2 billion contract</a> for the development of Starliner, but due to ongoing failures and significant overruns, the program is now among the most costly commercial space missions in history.</p>

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing's $2 Billion Problem</h2>
<p>The Starliner program has been plagued with delays, technical failures, and massive cost overruns. The spacecraft was supposed to be NASA's second option for sending astronauts to and from the International Space Station, alongside <strong>SpaceX</strong>'s Crew Dragon. But since its first crewed test flight in June, the Starliner has faced thruster malfunctions, helium leaks, and other serious issues.</p>
<p>These problems meant <strong>Butch Wilmore</strong> and <strong>Suni Williams</strong> couldn't return home on Starliner as planned. NASA had to send the spacecraft back to Earth uncrewed and later announced that the astronauts would return on a SpaceX Crew Dragon instead. Boeing had already taken multiple financial hits on the project, including a $489 million charge in 2019 and now another $523 million in 2024, further driving up the total losses.</p>

<p></p></figure></p>
<p>Despite NASA making this decision months ago, <strong>Elon Musk</strong> and <strong>Donald Trump</strong> made headlines by claiming that the astronauts were &#8220;stranded.&#8221; Musk posted on X that SpaceX would rescue the astronauts after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/43310082/trump-calls-on-musk-to-rescue-stranded-astronauts-but-nasa-picked-spacex-last-year">Trump asked him to step in</a>. Trump went even further on his social media, saying the Biden administration had &#8220;abandoned&#8221; Wilmore and Williams in space.</p>
<p>This claim caught many by surprise because NASA had already arranged for SpaceX to bring them back as part of its Crew-9 mission, which launched in September with two empty seats specifically for their return. Despite NASA&#8217;s repeated assurances that the astronauts were never stranded and always had a way home, Musk&#8217;s remarks caused confusion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Politics and Space Contracts</h2>
<p>Trump&#8217;s remarks and Musk&#8217;s involvement may have detrimental effects on Boeing. Trump's administration seems keen on shifting more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41414968/spacex-wins-major-us-space-force-contract-worth-734m-for-national-security-missions">NASA contracts</a> toward SpaceX.

This move could signal a big shift away from Boeing and toward Musk's company for future space missions.</p>
<p>Boeing, already struggling with commercial jet issues and financial losses, now faces an uncertain future in the space sector. Some analysts speculate that Boeing may exit the Starliner program altogether, especially as the ISS is set to be retired within the next five years. There were even reports that Boeing was considering selling its entire space division last year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For now, Wilmore and Williams remain on the ISS, where they've been for over seven months—far longer than their planned one-week mission. They have continued working on ISS maintenance and spacewalks while awaiting their return.</p>
<p>NASA has confirmed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42571318/return-of-astronauts-sunita-williams-and-butch-wilmore-from-iss-further-delayed-now-expected-no-earlier-than-late-march">Crew-9 will bring them home</a> in March or April, once Crew-10 arrives to replace them.</p>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Microsoft Stock In The Last 10 Years

<p>The <strong>Travelers Companies, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) announced Tuesday that it expects $1.7 billion in pretax catastrophe losses from the California wildfires that swept through the state in January. After taxes, the estimated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TRV/news">loss amounts to $1.3 billion</a>.</p>
<p>The insurer said the estimate includes losses from its personal and commercial segments, as well as assessments from the California FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort. Recoveries from reinsurance have been factored into the estimate.</p>
<p>Analysts have projected that total industry losses from the wildfires could reach $30 billion. Other insurers are also reporting significant impacts. Last week, Allstate said it expects about $1.1 billion in pretax catastrophe losses from the fires, net of reinsurance.</p>
<p>Travelers&#8217; announcement follows a challenging period for insurers operating in California, where wildfire risk has led several companies to scale back coverage or raise premiums. The FAIR Plan, which provides limited fire insurance for homeowners unable to get coverage elsewhere, can require insurers to help fund claims.</p>
<p>Travelers said it is actively working to process claims and assist affected policyholders. CEO <strong>Alan Schnitzer</strong> acknowledged the scale of the disaster, noting the company&#8217;s commitment to supporting customers and communities impacted by the fires.</p>

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Slide Lower: 'Final Move Down Before The Recovery,' Trader Says

<p><strong>Goldman Sachs</strong> downgraded <strong>Regenxbio Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGNX#NASDAQ">RGNX</a>), citing gene therapy&#8217;s appeal for wet AMD and diabetic retinopathy is uncertain, as most patients are elderly and newer anti-VEGF treatments offer longer-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39234044/goldman-sachs-optimistic-about-regenxbios-gene-therapy-pipeline-sees-over-160-upsid" rel="noreferrer noopener">lasting effects at lower costs</a>.</p>
<p>Analyst Paul Choi writes that <strong>AbbVie Inc</strong> partnered ABBV-RGX-314 faces growing competition, with its invasive delivery method making it less favorable than rival treatments.</p>
<p>Data from the ATMOSPHERE&nbsp;and ASCENT&nbsp;pivotal trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of the subretinal delivery of ABBV-RGX-314 in patients with Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD) are expected in 2026.</p>
<p>AbbVie and REGENXBIO will plan a Phase 3 clinical program for ABBV-RGX-314 in&nbsp;Diabetic Retinopathy with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42944040/abbvie-and-regenxbio-announce-updates-on-the-abbv-rgx-314-clinical-program" rel="noreferrer noopener">suprachoroidal delivery</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst downgraded Regenxbio to Neutral from Buy and reduced the price forecast <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RGNX/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $14 from $38 prior</a>.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs writes that additional competing treatments are progressing in the clinic, including <strong>EyePoint Pharmaceuticals</strong> <strong>Inc.&#8217;s </strong>Duravyu (vorolanib intravitreal insert), for which the company recently presented <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43490361/eyepoint-announces-positive-six-month-results-for-the-phase-2-verona-clinical-trial-of-duravyu-for" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">topline 6-month results</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst views the appeal of gene therapies in retinal disease overall as decreasing, thus reducing the assumed share of patients who are likely to opt for these treatments. This, in turn, leads to meaningfully lowering projected peak sales for ABBV-RGX-314.</p>
<p>As more people adopt the treatment, the analyst expects prices to keep declining despite changes in the ASP+ system. Ultimately, this could set a lower price benchmark for ABBV-RGX-314 as it nears commercialization.</p>
<p>Separately, the analyst highlights the increasing use of <strong>Regeneron</strong> <strong>Pharmaceutical Inc&#8217;s</strong> 2 mg Eylea biosimilars, which have taken share from the branded version despite the availability of Eylea HD.</p>
<p>Goldman analyst Choi finds the current data on RGX-202 (gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42033036/regenxbio-initiates-pivotal-phase-of-affinity-duchenne-trial-of-rgx-202-gene-therapy-and-reports-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">promising but limited</a>. Choi also sees a growing need for better treatments, citing interest in <strong>Sarepta Theraputics Inc&#8217;s</strong> Elevidys and strong enrollment in <strong>Edgewise Therapeutics&#8217; </strong>FOX study for post-gene therapy care.</p>
<p>Last month, Regenxbio and Nippon Shinyaku announced a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize RGX-121 for Mucopolysaccharidosis II, also known as Hunter syndrome, and RGX-111 for Mucopolysaccharidosis I, also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42967827/regenxbio-and-nippon-shinyaku-announce-exclusive-partnership-to-develop-and-commercialize-rgx-121-" rel="noreferrer noopener">known as Hurler syndrome</a>.</p>
<p>Regenxbio will receive&nbsp;$110 million&nbsp;and up to an additional&nbsp;$700 million&nbsp;if certain milestones are achieved, consisting of&nbsp;$40 million&nbsp;in potential development and regulatory milestones and&nbsp;$660 million&nbsp;in potential sales milestones.</p>

A Closer Look at Dollar Tree's Options Market Dynamics

<p>Bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure titan <strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) is currently in focus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/blockchain">in the blockchain world</a>. </p>



<p>According to its December operations update, steady growth in Bitcoin production and infrastructure development ruled the 2024. </p>



<p>With approximately 17,722 BTC on its balance sheet and valued at around $4.4 billion, Riot is not just mining Bitcoin. The company is expanding its roots in the decentralized digital asset economy, making it a crypto mining leader.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Perfect Storm For ETFs With Exposure To Riot</strong></h2>



<p>Defiance ETF recently <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/03/3003995/0/en/Defiance-Launches-RIOX-The-First-2X-Leveraged-Single-Stock-ETF-on-Riot-Platforms-Inc.html">launched </a>an offbeat fund that provides a targeted, 200% daily leveraged exposure to Riot's share price. </p>



<p>The <strong>Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RIOT ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOX#NYSE">RIOX</a>) uses a mix of short-dated, in-the-money call options and swap agreements to achieve a leveraged exposure while actively managing volatility risks. </p>



<p>The fund's net expense ratio is 0.95% which is on the higher side but considering the uniqueness of the offering, the expense ratio seems reasonable. The ETF has amassed over $1.48 million in assets under management already.</p>



<p>The ETF allows investors to indirectly gain exposure to the broader blockchain industry which continues to withstand regulatory and macroeconomic challenges and expand.</p>



<p>Riot's growing clout and the launch of RIOX could benefit other ETFs with exposure to cryptocurrency stocks, especially Riot. <strong>Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLOK#NYSE">BLOK</a>) and <strong>VanEck Digital Transformation ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAPP#NASDAQ">DAPP</a>) are two other ETFs that hold Riot and other crypto stocks in their portfolios, and stand to gain from Riot's market performance.</p>



<p>Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF gives 2.18% weightage to Riot, and has an expense ratio of 0.76%. Meanwhile, VanEck Digital Transformation ETF holds 5.72% in Riot, and boasts a lower expense ratio of 0.51%.</p>



<p>Bitcoin's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42819660/whats-going-on-with-bitcoin-mining-stocks-cleanspark-and-riot-platforms">recent price resurgence</a>, coupled with Riot's aggressive portfolio and growth strategy creates a compelling opportunity. The launch of the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RIOT ETF is a timely response to the growing investor interest in tools with targeted exposure to high-performing, disruptive companies like Riot. Seasoned investors looking for short-term plays on Riot's price movements without requiring margin accounts are best suited to try this fund.</p>



<p>Riot and its promising Bitcoin mining numbers came out at the same time as Bitcoin climbed 10% over the past week. The currency reclaimed its $102,000 level on Jan. 6 and recouping losses from early December, when it fell to a low of just below $92,000 on December 30. The recovery has driven optimism in the crypto market, fueled by bullish sentiment surrounding Donald Trump's anticipated crypto-friendly policies.</p>



<p>U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $987 million in inflows on Jan. 6. That&#8217;s the highest since Nov. 21, according to data from SoSoValue. This uptick in bitcoin prices often signals a potential altcoin rally.</p>
