Miller Value Partners Dumps 72,000 Buckle Inc. Shares for $4.2 Million

Miller Value Partners exited its entire position in Buckle Inc. (BKE) in Q4 2025, selling 72,000 shares for approximately $4.2 million. The exit represents a 1.49% decrease in the fund's assets under management. Despite Buckle's strong one-year performance of 36.8%, the fund likely sought higher returns elsewhere due to the company's low single-digit net income growth and expected slowdown to just 0.15% in fiscal 2027.

Nasdaq 100 Eyes Record High Close, Fifth Positive Week As Traders Flock To AI-Linked Stocks: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Technology stocks surged on Friday, rebounding sharply after Thursday’s decline, as investor confidence in the artificial intelligence-driven rally remained high. The Nasdaq 100 index jumped over 1%, reaching 18,820 points by 1 p.m. in New York, setting the stage for a record high close and marking its fifth consecutive week of gains — the longest streak since January. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, though it only partially recovered from Thursday’s losses. Small-cap stocks saw robust gains, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM) up 1%, while blue chips increased by just 0.2%. Chipmakers, solar and power utilities were the top-performing industries, as traders appeared to broaden their focus to a wider array of AI-related beneficiaries. Treasury yields remained stable as Thursday’s inflation concerns eased slightly following the University of Michigan’s downward revision of consumer inflation expectations.

Wall Street On Track To Rebound As Traders Train Eyes On Key Data Ahead Of Long Weekend: Analyst Says Brace For More Gains In Second-Half

Wall Street is eyeing a return to winning ways on Friday after the lackluster sentiment seen in the past two sessions. The index futures held modestly higher in early trading. The spotlight is likely to be on a Fed speech scheduled for the day and the inflation expectations readings of the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment report. Traders may also look ahead to the durables goods orders report to gauge the strength of the economy, especially in light of the recent weak economic data. Futures Performance (+/-) Nasdaq 100 +0.29% S&P 500 +0.29% Dow +0.15% R2K +0.32% In premarket trading on Friday, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) climbed 0.28% to $527.45 and the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) traded up 0.30% at $455.0, according to Benzinga Pro data. Cues From Previous Session U.S. stocks clocked back-to-back losses on Thursday notwithstanding the nearly 10% rally seen in market heavyweight Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA). Data showing weekly jobless claims falling more than expected in the recent reporting week and better-than-expected S&P Global final private sector purchasing managers indices weighed down on sentiment. The strong data trimmed the odds of multiple Fed rate cuts this year, dampening the market mood. The major indices opened higher and then took divergent routes. The Dow Industrials of which Nvidia is not a component fell steadily in the morning and sharply in the afternoon, with all 30 index components closing in the red. The Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 Index hovered above the unchanged line until the mid-session, thanks to the Nvidia prop, but succumbed to rate worries thereafter.

US Stock Futures Show Resilience As Traders Anticipate Relief From Upcoming Fed Meeting: Analyst Highlights 2 Key Investment Themes For The Year

The market mood appears to have improved after Thursday’s inflation-induced sell-off, with stock futures rising modestly early Friday. Earnings news has been largely negative, potentially acting as a pushback. Bond yields are slipping as traders continue to harbor hopes that the Federal Reserve, led by Jerome Powell, would lean toward a dovish stance and signal rate cuts at the upcoming meetings. Traders may also sift through a few key economic reports due for the day with an eye on the upcoming week’s Fed meeting. Cues From Previous Session: The much hotter-than-expected February producer price inflation report spooked traders on Thursday, with small-caps bearing the brunt of the selling. The weakness in the small-cap space could be explained by the fact that they are very sensitive to interest rates, given that the bulk of their financing would be in the form of bank loans. The major averages opened higher but returned their gains immediately after and spent the rest of the session below the unchanged line. On a positive note, the key indices snapped back some of their losses in late trading before closing off the session’s lows. The tech-Nasdaq Composite and the broader S&P 500 Index ended lower for a second straight session, pulling further away from their all-time highs. Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed lower, with only energy and communication services stocks bucking the downtrend. Real-estate, financial, and utility stocks were among the worst decliners.
