U.S. Retail Traffic Was In-Line With Year-to-Date Trends on Black Friday, According to Sensormatic Solutions ShopperTrak Analytics

U.S. Retail Traffic Was In-Line With Year-to-Date Trends on Black Friday, According to Sensormatic Solutions ShopperTrak Analytics

  • In-store traffic was down 2.1% compared to 2024 Black Friday results, on par with 2025 results year-to-date (-2.2%).
  • Week of Black Friday (Nov. 23-28) traffic was up 56.7% compared to the week prior (Nov. 16-21).
  • Shopper traffic on Black Friday (Nov. 28) exceeded the previous Friday (Nov. 21) by 248.9%.

NEUHAUSEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), today shared its initial analysis of Black Friday in-store traffic for the 2025 U.S. holiday season. According to its ShopperTrak Analytics insights, which captures 40 billion store visits globally each year, retail visits on the annual shopping holiday were down slightly compared to 2024 (-2.1%), but shopper traffic was in-line with 2025 year-to-date (-2.2%). Compared to the previous Friday (Nov. 21), traffic on Nov. 28 was up 248.9%.

“Traffic has been steadily picking up throughout the second half of 2025, kicking off during the back-to-school season, and this week’s strong showing hints this trend is likely to continue throughout the rest of the holiday season,” said Grant Gustafson, head of retail consulting and analytics at Sensormatic Solutions. “Black Friday is still expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year as consumers prioritize leveraging peak discount days to purchase big-ticket items on their lists.”

ShopperTrak Analytics data also showed that early afternoon is still the most popular time for Black Friday browsing. As in years past, in-store traffic peaked between 2 and 4 p.m., with 3 p.m. marking the busiest hour for retailers.

The Season Ahead

Black Friday may be the predicted busiest day of the 2025 holiday shopping season in the U.S., but the retail rush is just getting started. According to Sensormatic Solutions predictions, the rest of the season’s busiest days are still on the horizon, with the peak expected to fall in the final few days leading up to Christmas. With this year’s holiday falling on a Thursday for the first time in over a decade, retailers may see a more sustained high-traffic period in the week preceding Dec. 25.

“This weekend truly marks the kickoff to a successful holiday season for retailers, and beyond that, a successful 2026 as well,” continued Gustafson. “According to ShopperTrak Analytics, in 2024, 77% of the retailers who outperformed in shopper traffic during the holiday season, continued to outperform into the first half of 2025. The momentum and loyalty gained by providing great shopping experiences this weekend can help retailers into the new year.”

Mastercard SpendingPulse: U.S. Black Friday Retail Sales Up +4.1% YOY as Holiday Momentum Builds

Mastercard SpendingPulse: U.S. Black Friday Retail Sales Up +4.1% YOY as Holiday Momentum Builds

Consumers scour for big deals and promotions, especially online as e-commerce sales grew +10.4% compared to 2024

PURCHASE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
According to preliminary insights from Mastercard SpendingPulse™,U.S. retail sales excluding autos were up +4.1% on Black Friday, November 28 compared to Black Friday 2024. Mastercard SpendingPulse measures in-store and online retail sales, representing all payment types, and is not adjusted for inflation.

This year’s Black Friday tells a story of comfort, connection, and savvy shopping as consumers prepare for meaningful moments with family and friends. Spending growth on apparel was particularly strong both online and in-store, suggesting shoppers refreshed wardrobes while leaning into value-driven choices and convenience.

“Consumers are showing incredible savviness this season. They’re navigating an uncertain environment by shopping early, leveraging promotions, and investing in wish-list items,” said Michelle Meyer, chief economist at the Mastercard Economics Institute.

Compared to Black Friday last year, spending growth trends by category include:

  • Bundled-up style and sparkle: Apparel climbed +5.7% (online +6.1%, in-store +5.4%), as chilly temperatures and seasonal deals encouraged spending on new fashions. Jewelry also rose +2.75% (online +4.2%), as consumers opted for gifts that shine.
  • Sleighing online shopping: E-commerce retail sales ex-autos jumped +10.4%, as shoppers increasingly value speed and convenience. In-store sales grew more modestly (+1.7%) but remain essential to consumers for tactile experiences.
  • Festive feasts: Restaurants grew +4.5%, as dining out has become part of the holiday ritual to celebrate the season and underscores consumers’ continued desire for experiences.
  • Across the map: Spending outperformed in pockets of the country including New England, the Midwest and Southeast. Overall sales in New England and the Midwest were boosted by Apparel, as spending on cold-weather gear was likely supported by the drop in temperatures. The Southeast has shown persistent strength this year.

As part of Mastercard’s 2030 commitment to advancing inclusive, secure, and frictionless commerce, this year’s surge in online shopping showcases how technology is transforming the way consumers pay. Shoppers are enjoying seamless checkout experiences across devices, from smartphones to connected home assistants, making holiday shopping faster, safer, and more intuitive than ever before.

As online sales soar, so do opportunities for fraud. Mastercard research shows that 72% of consumers shop on unfamiliar websites, even though one in four claim to avoid them. The biggest red flags? Prices that seem too good to be true (52%), poor spelling or grammar (48%), and requests for unnecessary personal information (49%). Unfortunately, nearly 1 in 5 shoppers have had items that never arrived, and 16% have received counterfeit goods in past seasons.

Mastercard encourages consumers to shop smart by sticking to trusted retailers and using secure payment methods. If you suspect suspicious activity or encounter a scam, report it immediately to your bank or card provider. These steps, combined with Mastercard’s advanced fraud prevention tools, help ensure holiday shopping remains joyful and safe.

About Mastercard SpendingPulse

Mastercard SpendingPulse measures national retail sales based on aggregated and anonymized Mastercard insights, representing all payment types in select markets around the world.

Mastercard SpendingPulse defines “U.S. retail sales” as sales at retailers and food services merchants of all sizes. Sales activity within most of the services sector (for example, travel services such as airlines and lodging) are not included in the total retail sales figure. SpendingPulse insights are not indicative of Mastercard company performance; insights and forecast are subject to change.

JEF SEC PROBE: Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is Facing a Probe by the SEC Over its Point Bonita Disclosures – Contact BFA Law if You Lost Money on Your Investment

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF) and Point Bonita Capital for potential violations of the federal securities laws after SEC probe is revealed.

If you invested in Jefferies or Point Bonita, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/jefferies-financial-group-inc-class-action.

Why are Jefferies and Point Bonita being Investigated?

Jefferies is an investment banking and capital markets firm. Its trade finance arm is named Point Bonita Capital. Jefferies and Point Bonita were two of the closest banking and financing partners of First Brands Group, LLC, an auto parts supplier which collapsed into bankruptcy in September 2025.

On October 8, 2025, Jefferies announced that it and Point Bonita had approximately $715 million in exposure to First Brands’ receivables, which represents roughly 25% of Point Bonita’s trade finance portfolio. On this news, the price of Jefferies stock fell $4.66 per share, or about 8%, from $59.10 per share on October 7, 2025, to $54.44 per share on October 8, 2025. Investors are reportedly currently seeking redemptions from Point Bonita as well.

On November 27, 2025, it was reported that the SEC is seeking information about whether Jefferies gave investors in its Point Bonita fund enough information about their exposure to the auto business, which filed for bankruptcy in September with $12bn in debt. It was also reported that the SEC is also looking into internal controls and potential conflicts within and between different parts of the bank.

BFA is currently investigating whether Jefferies and/or Point Bonita made materially false and misleading statements to investors in connection with this significant exposure to First Brands and the subsequent SEC probe into the company.

SNPS STOCK: Lose Money on Your Synopsys, Inc. Investment? Contact BFA Law about the Pending Securities Class Action before December 30 Deadline

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Synopsys, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/synopsys-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until December 30, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Synopsys securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Kim v. Synopsys, Inc., et al., No. 3:25-cv-09410.

Why Was Synopsys Sued for Securities Fraud?

Synopsys provides design automation software products used to design and test integrated circuits. The Company’s Design IP segment, which provides pre-designed silicon components to semiconductor companies, has been the Company’s fastest-growing segment, growing from 25% of its revenue in 2022, to 31% in 2024.

During the relevant period, Synopsys told investors that its customers “rely on Synopsys IP to minimize integration risk and speed time to market” and that it was seeing “strength in Europe and South Korea.” Synopsys also stated it was “continuing to develop and deploy[] AI into our products and the operations of our business.”

As alleged, in truth, the Company’s Design IP customers began to require additional customization for IP components, which was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business and jeopardizing its business model.

The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed

On September 9, 2025, Synopsys released its Q3 2025 financial results, revealing its “IP business underperformed expectations.” The Company reported revenue for its Design IP segment of $425.9 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year and net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline. The Company revealed that its Design IP customers require “more and more customization,” which “takes longer” and requires “more resources.” As a result, the Company stated it was having “an ongoing dialogue with our customers” regarding changing its business model. This news caused the price of Synopsys stock to fall $217.59 per share, or nearly 36%, from $604.37 per share on September 9, 2025, to $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025.

MLTX STOCK: Lose Money on Your MoonLake Immunotherapeutics Investment? Contact BFA Law about the Pending Securities Class Action before December 15 Deadline

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: MLTX) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in MoonLake, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/moonlake-immunotherapeutics-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until December 15, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in MoonLake common stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Peters v. MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, et al., No. 1:25-cv-08612.

Why Was MoonLake Sued for Securities Fraud?

MoonLake is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapies for inflammatory diseases. During the relevant period, MoonLake conducted highly anticipated Phase 3 VELA trials for sonelokimab (“SLK”), an investigational therapeutic designed to treat adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (“HS”).

MoonLake told investors that its “strong clinical data,” including results from its Phase 2 MIRA trial, translate into “higher clinical responses for patients, and provide ample opportunity for differentiation of sonelokimab versus all competitors.” The Company also stated that SLK’s Nanobody structure differed in beneficial ways from traditional monoclonal antibody treatments from its competitors.

As alleged, in truth, the Company’s clinical data and Nanobody structure did not confer a superior clinical benefit over its competitors, calling into question the drug’s chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability.

The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed

On September 28, 2025, MoonLake reported its week 16 results of the VELA Phase 3 trials. The Company reported disappointing results for both trials, with VELA-2 failing to meet its primary endpoint, calling into question the drug’s chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability. On this news, the price of MoonLake stock fell $55.75 per share, or nearly 90%, from $61.99 per share on September 26, 2025, to $6.24 per share on September 29, 2025, the following trading day.

KMX STOCK: Lose Money on Your CarMax, Inc. Investment? Contact BFA Law about the Pending Securities Class Action before January 2 Deadline

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in CarMax, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/carmax-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 2, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in CarMax securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and is captioned Jason Cap v. CarMax, Inc., et al., No. 1:25-cv-03602.

Why is CarMax Being Sued For Securities Fraud?

CarMax sells used cars. During the relevant period, the Company touted the strong and sustainable demand for its cars, driven by factors such as a seamless customer experience.

As alleged, in truth, it appears that the announcement of U.S. tariffs imposed on cars provided a short-term boost to demand, as customers purchased cars prior to the tariffs taking effect.

BFA Law is also investigating the unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash on November 6, 2025, and whether CarMax properly assessed or reserved for its portfolio of car loans.

Why did CarMax’s Stock Drop?

On September 25, 2025, the Company reported disappointing financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026. Specifically, CarMax announced sales declines across the board, including a 5.4% decline in retail used unit sales, a 6.3% decline in comparable store used unit sales, and a 2.2% decline in wholesale units. The Company also posted a disappointing second quarter net income of about $95.4 million, down from $132.8 million over the prior year. A main reason for the declines, according to CarMax, was a “pull forward” in demand into the first fiscal quarter due to the announcement of tariffs.

On this news, the price of CarMax stock dropped $11.45 per share, or roughly 20%, from $57.05 per share on September 24, 2025, to $45.60 per share on September 25, 2025.

Then, on November 6, 2025, CarMax announced the unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash and a weak preliminary Q3 2025 outlook. On this news, the price of CarMax stock dropped over 24%.

FCX STOCK: Lose Money on Your Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Investment? Contact BFA Law about the Pending Securities Class Action before January 12 Deadline

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Freeport, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/freeport-mcmoran-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 12, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Freeport securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and is captioned Reed v. Freeport-McMoRan Inc., et al., No. 2:25-cv-04243.

Why is Freeport Being Sued For Securities Fraud?

Freeport is a mining company with its Indonesian affiliate operating as PT Freeport Indonesia (“PTFI”). PTFI operates the Grasberg Copper and Gold Mine (“Grasberg”), in which the Indonesian government holds a commercial interest. During the relevant period, Freeport touted its safety procedures, including its use of data and technology as well as behavioral science principles to prevent fatal incidents. It indicated it provides the training, tools, and resources needed to identify risks and consistently apply effective controls.

As alleged, in truth, Freeport overstated its commitment to safety, given that it conducted unsafe mining practices at the Grasberg mine which were reasonably likely to result in worker fatalities.

Why did Freeport’s Stock Drop?

On September 9, 2025, Freeport issued a press release on its PTFI operations. It announced that mining operations in Grasberg had been suspended to evacuate seven team members that were trapped due to a landslide at one of its underground mines. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $2.77 per share, or more than 5.9%, from a closing price of $46.66 per share on September 8, 2025, to $43.89 per share on September 9, 2025.

On September 24, 2025, Freeport issued an update on the incident noting that two of the seven individuals had been fatally injured and that the remaining five team members remained missing. In the same release, Freeport noted that due to the suspension in operations, sales were expected to be 4% lower for copper and approximately 6% lower for gold than July 2025 estimates. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $7.69 per share, or almost 17%, from a closing price of $45.36 per share on September 23, 2025, to $37.67 per share on September 24, 2025.

Then, on September 25, 2025, Bloomberg reported that the incident and halt in production was straining the relationship between Freeport and Indonesia, that “the Jakarta government [had already been] looking to take greater control,” and that government officials may increase its demand for an increased share. This news caused the price of Freeport stock to drop $2.33 per share, or more than 6%, from a closing price of $37.67 per share on September 24, 2025, to $35.34 per share on September 25, 2025.

Finally, on September 28, 2025, an Indonesian news organization reported that the incident was preventable, not just a natural disaster. The article quotes an Indonesian professor stating that “the landslide, often termed a mud rush, is a known flow of mud and rocks from the mine cavity, a risk long associated with certain mining methods.” The professor stated, “[i]n other words, this danger is not new and should have been anticipated from the beginning[.]”

(Site location of Hotel101-Milan, Italy set to have approx. 429 rooms)

SINGAPORE, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hotel101 Global Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ Ticker: HBNB) (“Hotel101” or “Hotel101 Global”), a leading asset-light, prop-tech hospitality platform pioneering a global standardized “condotel” business model listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and a subsidiary of Philippine-listed DoubleDragon Corporation (PSE Ticker: DD), announces a joint venture with definitive binding agreements signed for the development of an approx. 429-room Hotel101 in San Donato Milanese, Milan, Italy. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s European growth strategy, bringing its novel globally standardized “condotel” business model to one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

The hotel is expected to be in the vibrant community of San Donato Milanese, home to ENI headquarters and located approximately 8.4 kilometers southeast of the Duomo di Milano with high visibility along the Autostrada del Sole (A1), the longest motorway in Italy that links Milan to other major Italian cities such as Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. This 1.4 hectare prime site positions the property as an ideal gateway for leisure and business travelers seeking seamless access to Milan’s cultural and commercial hubs and will complement the existing hotel offerings in the area which includes, among others, the neighboring 436 room 4-star hotel Crowne Plaza Milan Linate as well as the nearby Novotel Milano Linate Airport and Best Western Hotel.

Key Location Advantages:

  • Proximity to Linate Airport (LIN): Approximately 7.1 kilometers (7-minute drive) away, Hotel101-Milan is expected to offer quick and efficient transfers to Milan’s primary airport for European flights, which serviced approx. 10.6 million passengers in 2024.
  • Connectivity to Metro Milano San Donato: Approximately 4 kilometers (5-minute drive) from the metro station, guests are expected to reach the historic Duomo di Milano via the M3 subway line directly in about 12 minutes by train. This efficient public transport link is expected to ensure easy exploration of Milan’s UNESCO-listed cathedral square, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and surrounding fashion and cultural districts.

Hotel101-Milan is expected to generate approx. EUR85.8 million in sales revenue once fully sold based on an expected sale price of EUR200,000, forming part of Hotel101 Global’s global expansion strategy, which includes its first three overseas projects under development in Niseko, Japan, Madrid, Spain and Los Angeles, USA as well as affiliate Hotel101 hotels in the Philippines. Hotel101-Milan is expected to be completed by 2028 and is expected to contribute to Milan’s economic growth through job creation, foreign investment and increased tourism, while attracting both local and foreign buyers under Hotel101’s hassle-free hotel unit ownership model.

Hotel101-Milan is expected to offer 4-star amenities at affordable prices. Consistent with Hotel101’s offerings across its locations globally, guests are expected to be able to enjoy modern rooms, 24/7 reception, all day dining, 25 meter lapping pool, full-size gym, business center, function rooms, children’s playground and pool, ample parking, luggage storage and other amenities.

The project aligns with Hotel101 Global’s commitment to sustainable urban hospitality, incorporating energy-efficient designs, solar panels and community-integrated amenities.

The development is subject to customary national, regional and municipal regulatory approvals.
