Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company registered trademarks for a series of investment vehicles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43526827/trump-media-registers-trademarks-for-truth-fi-investment-vehicles">under the Truth.Fi brand. </a>

Wall Street expects 61 cents in EPS and $1.59 billion in revenues as the company reports<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings?tickers=FTNT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> after market hours</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fortinet Stock Strongly Bullish Ahead Of Q4 Earnings</h2>
Fortinet stock is displaying strong bullish momentum ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings, with the stock trading above its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages. This technical setup indicates sustained buying pressure, a positive sign for continued upside. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020625&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/06120403/Screenshot-2025-02-06-at-7.55.03-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-769936" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/06120403/Screenshot-2025-02-06-at-7.55.03-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/06120403/Screenshot-2025-02-06-at-7.55.03-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020625&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
The stock's eight-day simple moving average of $100.85 sits below the current price of $105.07, reinforcing the bullish trend. Additionally, Fortinet stock is trading above key support levels, with its 20-day simple moving average at $97.98, 50-day at $97.02 and 200-day at $76.59, signaling strength across short, medium and long-term time frames.
For investors, the technical indicators suggest Fortinet stock could extend gains if earnings meet or exceed expectations. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at 2.24 supports the bullish momentum. However, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 73.14, the stock is in overbought territory, which could lead to short-term volatility. 
A strong earnings report could fuel further upside, while any disappointment may trigger profit-taking, making the $96-$97 range a key support zone for traders to watch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fortinet Analysts See 7% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FTNT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Fortinet stock stands at a Buy with a price target of $98.10. The latest analyst ratings from Cantor Fitzgerald, Baird and Rosenblatt imply a 7.44% upside for Fortinet stock, with a $112.33 price target.

This concept will enable secure, transparent and tamper-proof satellite-initiated transactions with Internet of Things devices.
&#8220;These new launches represent a major step forward in securing IoT communications for the future. By integrating SEALSQ&#8217;s Post-Quantum Chips with WISeKey&#8217;s trusted Root of Trust, we are ensuring that WISeSat remains a leader in satellite cybersecurity,&#8221; said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey.

Fed's Goolsbee Says Tariff Impacts Will Make It More Complicated To Determine What Is Overheating, And What Is A One-Time Price Change; Would Put Special Emphasis On Things Like PPI And Industry Contacts In Monitoring How Tariffs Might Influence Prices And Inflation; Long-Term Rates Are Set By Complex Market Forces, Not The Federal Reserve

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading lower on Thursday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported quarterly financial results and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43512179/inseego-announces-chairman-of-the-board-transition" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced a CEO transition</a>.
Skyworks expects second-quarter revenue to be between $935 million and $965 million, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43536079/whats-going-on-with-skyworks-solutions-stock-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted earnings of $1.20 per share.</a>
Here are the analysts&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWKS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">take on the stock:</a>
<ul>
<li>Stifel analyst Ruben Roy downgraded Skyworks to Hold from Buy, lowering the price forecast to $62 from $105.</li>
<li>KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst John Vinh reiterated the Sector Weight rating on the stock.</li>
<li>Raymond James analyst Srini Pajjuri maintained the Market Perform rating on the stock.</li>
</ul>
Stifel: Roy noted that the firm had lost content with its largest customer, Apple Inc., due to a dual-sourced socket strategy, with Broadcom Inc. as the second source.
A 20%-25% content reduction is expected in the iPhone 17, and recovery isn&#8217;t likely until Apple shifts more toward internally sourced modems.
As a result, revenue and profitability are expected to be much lower than previous forecasts through FY26, Roy writes.

The analyst lowered FY25 EPS estimates to $4.69 from $5.85.
Skyworks&#8217; recovery may begin in FY27 with the iPhone 18, depending on Apple&#8217;s modem progress.
However, increased competition and dual-sourcing risks remain long-term, Roy writes.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Per Vinh, the flat iPhone unit estimate balances out the potential content gain opportunity, while a greater focus on non-mobile markets could improve earnings predictability and long-term growth.
Skyworks is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing wireless connectivity demands from the Internet of Things, per the analyst.
Additionally, industry consolidation is expected to lead to pricing stability and margin expansion. The shift to 5G should open up increasing content opportunities, supporting growth above the industry average, the analyst writes.
Vinh lowered the FY25 EPS estimate to $4.67 from $5.43.
Raymond James: The analyst projects Apple&#8217;s 5G modem transition to be a multi-year process, which could slow the recovery pace.
Android sales remained flat quarter-over-quarter, contributing less than 10% of revenue.
Skyworks secured 5G content for several premium Android smartphones and anticipates continued growth to help offset the content decline at Apple.
Looking ahead, management projects a seasonal decline in Mobile revenue, with a drop in the mid to high-teens percentage range for the March 2025 quarter, the analyst notes.
Price Action: SWKS shares are trading lower by 23.4% to $66.71 at last check Thursday.

Skyworks Hits Roadblock With Apple Content Loss, Analysts See Tough Road For Recovery

Lear Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEA#NYSE">LEA</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43522918/lear-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results">for the fourth quarter</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q4 Revenue: $5.71 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $5.53 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q4 Adjusted EPS: $2.94, versus estimates of $2.58</li>
</ul>
Lear generated net cash from operations of $681 million and free cash flow of $489 million in the fourth quarter. The company said it repurchased $101 million of its stock and paid $42 million in dividends in the quarter. 
&#8220;Lear delivered solid results in 2024 despite continuing macroeconomic and industry headwinds, with both segments outgrowing the market,&#8221; said&nbsp;Ray Scott, president and CEO of Lear.
&#8220;Strong cash flow generation enabled us to return&nbsp;$574 million&nbsp;of cash through share repurchases and dividends. Margins in E-Systems improved for the second consecutive year, and investments in automation through IDEA by Lear and footprint optimization will improve margins in both segments.&#8221;
