View MoreMeta Earnings: Ad Spending on Meta Shows Resilience Even as Macro Dark Clouds Gather
Meta is the largest social media company in the world, boasting close to 4 billion monthly active users worldwide. The firm's "Family of Apps," its core business, consists of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. End users can leverage these applications for a variety of different purposes, from keeping in touch with friends to following celebrities and running digital businesses for free. Meta packages customer data, gleaned from its application ecosystem and sells ads to digital advertisers. While the firm has been investing heavily in its Reality Labs business, it remains a very small part of Meta’s overall sales.
RatingPrice TargetArgus Quick Note: Weekly Stock List for 05/19/2025: Tariff Impact on U.S. Companies
Director of Research Jim Kelleher, CFA, has surveyed the Argus analyst team about the impact of tariffs on companies in the Argus Universe of Coverage. The tariff environment is dynamic, to say the least. The White House has levied tariffs or threatened to levy tariffs, but often paused, postponed, or withdrawn pledged tariffs. Most recently, China and the U.S. agreed to reduce baseline tariffs to 10% for 90 days (30% in the U.S. reflecting a 20% fentanyl penalty). More than the tariffs themselves, the lack of a finished tariff infrastructure complicates business planning, staffing decisions, and capital investment. Within this dynamic environment, companies are focused on taking actions in areas they can control and planning proactively for a range of tariff scenarios. Companies are anticipating both direct and indirect tariff impacts. Direct impacts would include higher costs for imported finished goods and components, foregone sales as a result of reciprocal tariffs in other nations, and other factors. For example, a manufacturing company would face direct impacts as it pays higher prices for imported parts. Indirect impacts would include a slowing in business related to a broad softening in the economy. All companies likely will feel indirect impacts. A utility, for example, could begin to see a slowing in industrial and commercial kilowatt-hour sales, particularly in niches such as warehousing, trucking and rail, and other freight-related functions. We asked Argus analysts to survey their companies for their commentary on direct and indirect tariff impacts, as well as actions these companies are taking to mitigate the challenging trade environment. Nearly every company in Argus analyst coverage has issued commentary regarding tariffs, much as (five years ago) nearly every company in coverage had something to say about the then-developing COVID-19 pandemic. Below we offer a sampling of company responses to the unfolding tariff environment across a range of sectors and industries. We intend to update our survey on a regular basis at least until the tariff environment, in whatever shape or form, becomes a stable part of the U.S. economy.
Since April 21 (or since the secondary market low and eight days after "the" closing low of the correction in the major indices), stocks have enjoyed a massive and consistent tailwind.
Since April 21 (or since the secondary market low and eight days after "the" closing low of the correction in the major indices), stocks have enjoyed a massive and consistent tailwind. The S&P 500 (SPX) has risen in 16 out of 19 trade days, and the three daily losses were inconsequential. Since the April 8 bottom, the SPX has soared 19.6% in 27 days, the Nasdaq has surged 26%, and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) has popped 25%. That performance is the best since, and very reminiscent of, the pandemic. As well, those 27-day returns (ex. the pandemic) are the best since April 2009, when stocks were coming out of the financial crisis. With this kind of steady and persistent rally pushing the SPX to within 3% of its February 19 all-time high, the Nasdaq to within 5% of its December 16 all-time high, and the QQQ to within 3.3% of its February 19 all-time high, one would expect the investment masses to be pushing the "very bullish" sentiment button. Indeed, they almost always have in the past, as sentiment follows price. But that is not the case with this rally, although some indicators are finally pushing to extreme bullish levels. The five-day CBOE equity-only put/call (PC) ratio has dropped to 0.48 from 0.73 on April 8, the lowest and most-overheated P/C since July 2023, just before the July through August pullback. Hedge fund exposure and the NAAIM Exposure Index have not reached extreme levels, consumer confidence has hit its lowest level since the pandemic, and, within the consumer-sentiment survey, more participants believe stocks will move lower.

Is the Dollar at Risk?
The dollar, the world's dominant currency, has been in hot demand since the start of the pandemic. On a worldwide trade-weighted basis, the greenback is up 11% since January 2020; compared to a basket of emerging market currencies, it has surged 14%. Indeed, when global uncertainty increases, investor seek a safe haven for assets. That trend has started to unwind a bit in 2025. Year-to-date, the dollar has given back 3% against the worldwide index and 5% compared to an index of advanced economy currencies. Some of the slide can be linked to the economic uncertainty caused by President Trump's trade and tariff policies, though reasons also include the swelling U.S. federal debt, which is not a new trend. Sovereign wealth funds are thus rethinking their commitment to U.S. assets as the cost of doing business in America increases and the balance sheet strains. But we would hesitate to term the dollar at risk of losing its status as the global currency of choice. Even with the pullback this year, the dollar is 18% above its 20-year average value. The greenback is supported by the depth of a $27 trillion market, not to mention by the Federal Reserve and by the country's time-tested political/economic system of democratic capitalism. The alternatives (the euro, yen or yuan) have their issues as well. For several reasons, we anticipate a relatively stable trading range for the dollar over the balance of the year. For one, the dollar typically tracks GDP growth trends, and we think the U.S. economic expansion is poised to ease in coming quarters as jobs growth slows. For another, the still-elevated valuation of the greenback implies that other currencies -- and even gold or other commodities -- are possibly undervalued, and we would expect investors to bid up those values at a measured pace over time.
