Noteworthy Monday Option Activity: SBUX, CVX, DJT

Two stocks that could benefit from President Donald Trump's popularity this year are Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) and Newsmax (NYSE: NMAX). The former was launched by Trump in 2021 when he created the Truth Social platform, while the latter features a conservative cable channel that the president has endorsed in the past. Newsmax recently went public, but Trump Media's stock has been around for a little over a year after merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp.
Which of these two stocks is likely to perform better this year and over the long haul?
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
The case for Trump Media
Trump Media stock is more closely aligned with President Trump's brand and image. It involves his Truth Social platform and streaming business.
The company has also been looking at crypto as a growth opportunity, recently partnering with crypto.com, which plans to offer exchange-traded funds comprising both digital and non-digital assets. Among the possible ETFs that could soon be available are a "Made in America" ETF and a "Bitcoin Plus" fund. While the details of those funds are not known, Trump Media has applied to trademark investment products with those names.
Trump Media is also well-funded, finishing last year with $777 million in cash and short-term investments. That liquidity can give the business lots of runway to grow even as it's still burning through cash. The company's net sales totaled just $3.6 million last year, but with plans to offer more services and greater opportunities for monetization ahead, there could be strong growth on the horizon for the company.
The case for Newsmax
Shares of Newsmax went public last month and at a market cap of less than $2 billion, it's a cheaper option than Trump Media stock (worth nearly $5 billion). And the company also has a much more established business today, centering around its cable channel and website.
Last year, Newsmax reported more than $171 million in revenue, with its top line growing by 26% year over year. The company incurred a loss of more than $72 million but with strong gross profit margins of around 50%, there may be hope for the business to one day turn a profit as it scales its operations and adds to its subscribers.
With the company focused on conservative news, it could stand to benefit from President Trump's strong popularity. Newsmax rose in prominence during Trump's first presidential term as he soured on once-favored Fox News, which he called "unwatchable" back in 2020.
Which stock is the better buy?
Although both media stocks present risks and neither is a safe buy, if you're deciding between the two, I'd go with Newsmax.
At this stage, Trump Media doesn't seem to be much more than a meme stock. It isn't generating much revenue, and simply having a strong cash balance doesn't make it an investable business. It's a speculative buy, and year to date, it has fallen more than 36%. What's concerning is that even amid that decline, it still looks egregiously overpriced and has plenty of room to fall even lower.
Almost by default, Newsmax looks to be the better option right now. Its valuation is lower, and its business is growing quickly. But with steep losses, it's not a safe stock to own either. However, with an established business and more modest valuation, I expect it'll outperform Trump Media this year and beyond.

Newsmax vs Trump Media: Which Stock Will Be the Better Buy This Year?

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is moving higher thanks to some positive-looking developments on the macroeconomic front and a potential coin-specific catalyst trading. The cryptocurrency's token price was up 2.4% over the previous 24 hours of trading as of 5:45 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, Bitcoin was up 2.7% over the last day, and Ethereum had risen 4.3%.
After comments from President Donald Trump yesterday indicating that tariffs on Chinese products would come down substantially, Reuters reported today that the administration was open to lowering import taxes on the country's goods from 145% to between 50% and 65%. Adding another positive catalyst, President Trump seemed to back off his criticisms of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and said that he did not plan on attempting to fire the leader of the U.S. central bank. XRP's token price also appears to have gotten a boost from news that Trump Media is planning on moving ahead with plans to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that combine stocks and cryptocurrencies into a tradeable security.

Is XRP a buy right now?
Despite gains in Tuesday and Wednesday's trading, XRP's token price is still down roughly 33% from the high that it reached earlier this year. Even with the big valuation pullback, it's clear that the cryptocurrency remains a very high-risk investment.
On the other hand, the confirmation that XRP will be part of the United States' digital-asset reserve program opens the door for a meaningful bullish catalyst over the long haul. With signs that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be warming up to ETFs built around or including the XRP token, it's possible that new funds from Trump Media and other providers of financial products could also support valuation gains.
For long-term investors, I think that XRP stands out as one of the most appealing buys in the crypto space right now. However, investors should understand that macroeconomic volatility continues to be a big risk factor.

XRP Is Rising Today -- Is the Cryptocurrency a Buy?

Trump Media (NASDAQ: DJT) stock is seeing big gains Wednesday amid an increase in bullish sentiment across the market. The company's share price was up 10.3% as of 2:15 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 was up 2%, and the Nasdaq Composite had climbed 3.1%.
On the heels of big gains yesterday, the stock market is moving higher again today following statements from President Donald Trump and other administration officials that suggest a desire to reach a trade deal with China. Trump Media's valuation is also moving higher in response to news about the company's plans to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through its Truth.Fi brand.

Trump Media stock surges as market rallies on trade hopes
The stock market has continued to be highly volatile this week. After Trump's call for immediate interest rate cuts and criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell prompted a steep pullback Monday, the market has rebounded in response to some seemingly favorable macroeconomic news. Following an initial report yesterday that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expected a de-escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, subsequent comments from Trump and other officials seem to have confirmed that the administration wants to make a deal that would lower tariffs. A potential resolution to trade-related pressures has investors feeling bullish today, and Trump Media stock is gaining ground thanks to the momentum.
Is Trump Media's big pivot the right move?
In a press release published yesterday, Trump Media announced details about new ETFs that it will be launching through its Truth.Fi brand and a collaboration with Crypto.com and Charles Schwab. Trump Media has now signed a definitive agreement with Crypto.com to launch multiple ETFs that will include both digital assets and stocks.
The push into the financial products space represents a major pivot for Trump Media, which has mostly been focused on its Truth Social media platform and Truth+ streaming service up to this point. It's still far too early to tell whether the push into financial products will pay off. But given that the company generated just $3.6 million in sales last year, the venture at least provides a feasible new avenue for growth that could help energize performance.

Newsmax Stock After the IPO Hype: Is the Stock a Buy Today?

Shares of Trump Media (NASDAQ: DJT) are seeing big gains in Thursday's trading. The stock price was up 11.3% as of 3:30 p.m. ET today. It had been up as much as 15.3% earlier in the day.
Trump Media is getting a valuation boost following news that the company has requested that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) look into alleged manipulation of its stock. Despite today's gains, the share price is still down 34% amid the backdrop of a 10% decline for the S&P 500 index.

Trump Media stock rises after manipulation allegation
Trump Media recently said that it had sent a letter to the SEC reporting suspicious activity following news that U.K. hedge fund Qube Research & Technologies had taken out a $105 million short position against its stock.
Despite Qube saying that it had taken out a short position of roughly six million shares, Trump Media says that Nasdaq's data suggests that the number of shares sold short only increased from approximately 10.7 million up to 11 million in the reported time period of the purchase.
What's next for Trump Media?
With its press release today, Trump Media raised the possibility that the "history of suspicious trading" surrounding its stock and lack of documentation for Qube's reported short position could be indicative of illegal naked short-selling. The company's inquiries along these lines could be a significant meme-stock catalyst in the near term.
On the other hand, there's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the company's fundamental business outlook further out. Trump Media's core social platform has been relatively slow to scale up, and it remains to be seen to what extent pushes into the financial products and services space will be sufficient sales drivers.

Palantir stock surges following Trump's tariff pivot
In a note published to Trump Media's Truth Social platform today, President Trump announced that there would be a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China. During the three-month grace period, imported goods from these countries will instead be taxed at a 10% rate. Meanwhile, the Trump administration will be raising its tariff rate on Chinese goods from 104% to 125%.
What's next for Palantir?
With its last earnings update, Palantir said it expected sales for its quarter ended in March to be between $858 million and $862 million. If the business were to hit the midpoint of that forecast range, it would mean posting year-over-year sales growth of 35.6%.
Meanwhile, the company expects full-year sales to be between $3.741 billion and $3.757 billion, good for an annual growth of roughly 31% at the midpoint of the guidance range. Non-GAAP (adjusted) free cash flow for the period is projected to come in between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion, suggesting year-over-year growth of 28% at the midpoint of the guidance range.
With increased uncertainty on the macroeconomic outlook amid rapidly shifting tariff policies, whether Palantir will guide its forecasts downward with its next earnings report remains to be seen. But the business has been serving up very impressive momentum.

US social media platform Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) has become the first company to list on NYSE Texas, delivering an early win to the exchange as it expands its footprint in the Lone Star state. The listing, which includes both its primary shares on Nasdaq and its warrants on the Texas exchange, marks a significant milestone amid intensifying competition among stock exchanges.
This strategic move comes as Texas, home to a vast number of NYSE-listed companies with a combined market value exceeding $3.7 trillion, underscores the state’s growing importance in regional financial markets. With rising rivalry from Nasdaq (NDAQ) and the Texas Stock Exchange, the move signals a broader trend of firms seeking more favorable business climates in states that champion free enterprise and minimal regulation.
Market Overview:
Trump Media’s listing on NYSE Texas bolsters the exchange’s regional presence.
The move highlights fierce competition among exchanges for key listings in Texas.
The Texas market, valued at over $3.7 trillion, is increasingly pivotal to investors.
Key Points:
Trump Media, primarily owned by President Trump, retains its primary Nasdaq listing.
The inclusion of warrants expands its capital market access.
Industry rivals are also expanding their regional operations to capture market share.
Looking Ahead:
The new listing could set a precedent for further regional exchange expansion in Texas.
Competition among major exchanges is expected to intensify amid evolving market dynamics.
Investors will monitor liquidity and trading volumes to gauge market impact.
Bull Case:
Trump Media’s listing on NYSE Texas establishes the exchange as a viable alternative to traditional financial hubs, potentially attracting more companies seeking favorable business climates.
The move underscores Texas’ growing importance in regional financial markets, which could drive further innovation and investment in the state’s economy.
By listing warrants alongside primary shares, Trump Media expands its capital market access, enhancing liquidity and providing investors with more trading opportunities.
NYSE Texas’ strengthened presence may encourage other firms to explore regional exchanges, diversifying the U.S. stock exchange landscape and increasing competition.
The listing could set a precedent for companies looking to align with states that champion free enterprise and minimal regulation, further boosting Texas’ appeal as a business-friendly environment.
Bear Case:
The dual listing on Nasdaq and NYSE Texas may create operational complexities and fragmented liquidity, potentially affecting trading efficiency and investor confidence.
Despite the milestone, NYSE Texas faces stiff competition from established exchanges like Nasdaq and the Texas Stock Exchange, which could limit its ability to secure additional high-profile listings.
Trump Media’s controversial ownership and political associations may deter some institutional investors, impacting trading volumes and market perception of the listing.
The regional exchange’s success depends heavily on sustained interest from companies and investors, which may wane if broader economic or regulatory challenges arise.
The listing may not significantly alter the competitive dynamics between major stock exchanges, as traditional centers like New York retain their dominance in attracting large-cap companies.
The landmark listing is expected to enhance liquidity and stimulate further innovation in regional financial markets, potentially driving more companies to seek listings outside traditional financial centers.
As market participants digest this development, attention will turn to how NYSE Texas’ strengthened presence affects trading dynamics and competition with established rivals. Investors and policymakers alike will be closely watching for signs that this move catalyzes further shifts in the U.S. stock exchange landscape.
