Shares that can be observed in May – and what you should pay attention to

The US shares fell for a third month in April in April when the uncertainty about President Trump's tariff policy spread out in Wall Street Chaos.

The month started dark when President Trump's tariff tariff on April 2 was wiped out the market value of around 6 trillion US dollars. The stocks were in the middle of the month due to a 90-day break for most country-specific tariffs from Trump and signs that the White House endeavored to de-escalate its trade war with China. But the back rash, which was hindered by data on Wednesday that were contractual to us in the first quarter, was not enough to dig shads out of their hole. The S&P 500 ended April by 0.8%.

The tariffs will probably continue to dominate the conversation in Wall Street in May, since the current of profit teaching slowd down into a trickle in the first quarter at the beginning of the month. In the following we look at five stocks to keep an eye on in May.

Apple

Apple (AAPL) will report its results in the first quarter after the final bell on Thursday, May 1st, and the focus will be on tariffs.

The iPhone manufacturer won a tariff exemption in 2018 during the trade war of the first Trump government with China. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Apple products are produced in China, which means that they are used in the crosshair of escalating tensions between the two largest economies in the world.

For the time being, Trump freed smartphones and other Apple products from the “liberation day” tariffs he announced in early April, which for Apple products from China, Vietnam and India by 125%, 46%or. 26%would have increased. However, the Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick has warned that the excluded consumer electronics should be recorded in semiconductor-specific tariffs in the coming months.

Analysts and investors will endeavor to listen to Apple's call for profits, how the company is planning the upcoming tariffs and how a slowdown economy affects that affects sales.

The Apple shares have dropped by 15% since the beginning of the year.

Nvidia

NVIDIA (NVDA) is expected to report quarterly results at the end of the month, and investors will be eagerly awaiting updating the company's turnover and expecting a slowdown of AI investments.

The stock was raised this year due to increasing economic uncertainty and escalating tensions with China. The company recently warned investors that its results will have a hit of up to $ 5.5 billion in the first quarter after the US government has tightened the sales restrictions on China.

In addition, several leading cloud service providers, including Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN), have reported or paused in response to the cloudy economic prospects. Fewer AI investments of some of the largest technology companies in the world are likely to mean more slow sales growth in Nvidia.

The Nvidia share has fallen after each of the three recent winning reports. Despite the steadily top -class estimates, the Wall Street expectations have caught up with Nvidia's Nvidia burning. The reaction of the share to the results of May could depend on whether the company's various headwinds reset the expectations of investors.

The Nvidia shares have decreased almost 19% since the beginning of the year.

Walmart

The retail giant Walmart (WMT) should show the profits before the markets on May 15th.

Only a few companies are so good to deal with tariffs than Walmart. The company has reportedly put Chinese suppliers under pressure to lower their prices, a tactic that is not available for smaller retailers. It also had some successes to get to the White House. Trump expressed the interest in de-escalating the trade war with China shortly after Walmart, Target and Costco executives, which had warned the president that unaffordable tariffs would finally lead to empty shelves across the country.

Walmart's sales in the first quarter are probably not affected by tariffs, most of which were announced in April. Retail sales also indicate that, despite the trust in the economy, consumers did not slow down their expenses in the first quarter.

The company's guidance will be of greater interest for Wall Street – that is, if it provides instructions. Many companies have withdrawn their forecasts of the year as a whole, whereby the difficulty of predicting future costs and demand without clarity of trade policy. If Walmart did the same, this could improve fear on Wall Street and send shock waves through the stock exchange.

The Walmart shares rose by almost 8% annually.

Exxonmobil

Exxonmobil (XOM) is expected to report his income in the first quarter

Trump went with a rotation during the entire presidential campaign of last year's presidential campaign and promised to tame inflation by lowering the energy costs and at the same time committed to the fossil fuel industry of America.

In office he tried to smooth the tensions between these two goals. Trump has taken steps to remove regulatory obstacles to the recovery of resources, to accelerate the permission of bores in federal areas and to prevent the states from “unleashing American energy”.

At the same time, Trump's trade war increased the probability of a US recession and brought oil prices to break in. West Texas Intermediate, the US raw oil benchmark, closed on Wednesday at around 58 US dollars per barrel.

Exxon's results and comments could help investors understand the balance of good and bad news for the industry that comes from Washington.

The Exxonmobil share has fallen by about 2% since the beginning of the year.

Coin base

Coinbase (coin) will also report the result of the first quarter this month, and the future seems to be bright for the crypto exchange.

The cryptocurrency industry has so far proven itself one of the few winners of the second Trump administration. Trump has ordered the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a US Digital Assets camp, Paul Atkins, head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, installed crypto-advocate as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reduced the large federal laws against the crypto industry.

The prices for important cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether have been declining since Trump, which was struck on the same economic uncertainty that the stock and bond markets hammered. This could bring a bite from the transaction revenue of Coinbase, which was well on the way from mid -February to surpass the first quarter of last year. Nevertheless, Coinbase forecast subscription and service income – less volatile for forecast up to 50%as transaction revenue that fluctuate with crypto prices.

Investors will listen to the profits of Coinbase to create insights into the efforts of the company to design the cryptocurrency laws and regulations developed in Washington.

The Coinbase shares have so far dropped by about 18% this year.
