Jefferies Downgrades $RIVN to Hold from Buy, PT $16; 'downbeat demand outlook this year'

Analyst comments: "Q1's better numbers were helped by new accounting of previously received funds, but management also demonstrated further progress in driving down R1 variable unit costs and in managing cash carefully. We like Rivian's brand equity story and software achievements, but with a downbeat demand outlook this year, we are left waiting for updates on R2 progress and hoping for third-party opportunities in energy efficiency/software-defined vehicles. Rating to Hold, unchanged $16 PT."

BURBERRY TO CUT 1,700 JOBS AMID LUXURY SLOWDOWN

Foxconn, a major supplier for $AAPL and $NVDA, posted a solid Q1, with net profit up 91% Y/Y to NT$42.11B (US$1.38B), beating expectations. Revenue rose 24% to NT$1.644T, helped by early shipments ahead of new U.S. tariffs. But the company lowered its full-year guidance, now expecting revenue to be "stronger" vs "significantly stronger" than last year. Cloud and AI server products made up 34% of Q1 revenue.

JPMorgan Upgrades $SE to Overweight from Neutral, Raises PT to $190 from $135

Analyst comments: "E-commerce growth to come with margin expansion. Shopee’s EBITDA margin of 0.9% to GMV positively surprised in 1Q25, while GMV growth of 21% year-over-year likely outpaced market growth. Moreover, logistics cost per order in Asia declined further by 6% year-over-year despite improvements in service quality and increasing coverage. In our view, the reduction in logistics cost per order is likely to make Shopee more cost competitive while also supporting margin expansion as effective subsidies (as a percentage of GMV) decline. Ad revenues growth of over 50% year-over-year is another positive that emerged from the 1Q25 results. The number of sellers who spent on ads increased 22% year-over-year, and they increased their overall ad spend. The growing ad spend reflects the value that Shopee is bringing to its sellers and buyers and should further support platform growth while bringing in high-margin revenues. In our view, Shopee’s leadership and scale bring numerous levers to improve monetization and drive growth. We increase our FY25/26E segment adjusted EBITDA forecasts by 55%/44%."

CITI ON $OKLO (NEUTRAL; PT $30): 'EXECUTING ON ALL FRONTS BUT NO FIREWORKS'

Analyst comments "Oklo is pursuing initial reactor deployment, isotope business, and a commercial sized fuel fabrication facility. Phase 1 of the pre-application readiness assessment has been initiated, following completion of site characterization at INL. Feedback items from the NRC are expected soon, which will help work through any potential hurdles ahead of formal application submission in 4Q25. First reactor deployment timeframe remains late 2027/early 2028. Total backlog stands at over 14GW, which appears largely unchanged Q/Q. Sam Altman no longer on the Board should facilitate conversations with data centers in addition to potential OpenAI relationship, we think. Atomic Alchemy’s demonstration lab will cost less than $0.5mm and should generate revenues from early to mid-2026, followed by a larger facility in 2028. Lastly, headway is being made to license a commercial fuel fabrication site."
