Into The Cryptoverse founder Benjamin Cowen sees Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) near-term trend depending on the upcoming labour market report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">and election results</a>.
What Happened: The analyst highlighted in a social media <a href="https://x.com/intocryptoverse/status/1846204889354965163">post</a> on Tuesday that while short-term predictions are challenging, market momentum may start to wane as we approach the release of the November labor market report and election results. 
He further added that the market would likely find its next real direction after these significant events.
Cowen pointed out that Bitcoin has often rallied up to the lower high structure during the middle-to-late part of a month, only to trade sideways until after labor market data has been released.
He suggested that the next direction for Bitcoin would likely depend on fresh labor market data, coming out on Nov.1.

Why It Matters: Cowen&#8217;s predictions suggest that major economic and political events can have a direct impact on market trends. He highlighted the importance of the labor market report and election results.
These forecasts come in the wake of a $555.8 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">Bitcoin spot ETF</a> inflows on Monday. 
On Oct. 14, Cowen noted that Bitcoin is holding the bull market support band for the last few weeks.

Bitcoin's Next Big Move To Be Decided By Election Result And Labor Market Report, Says Benjamin Cowen

There&#39;s a saying that stocks don&#39;t move in one direction all the time. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NYSE">PLTR</a>) is testing the logic behind that saying. PLTR stock is up a whopping 151% in 2024 nearly matching the 168% gain in NVIDIA Corp.&nbsp;
Furthermore, the stock is up 24% in the last month alone. This has brought Palantir&#39;s market cap close to $100 billion. For context, the company started out the year with a $37 billion market cap. &nbsp;
The recent stock price move corresponds to the company&#39;s inclusion in the S&amp;P 500. That was expected to raise the stock price as institutional money flowed in. However, many investors expected there to be an initial pullback.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, that hasn&#39;t been the case. But with the stock above $43 a share, it&#39;s now moving into an area that is overbought by technical indicators. If you&#39;re a long-term investor, any talk of selling Palantir at this price is quickly dismissed. But at its current price, many traders are asking if now is a time to take some profit. Without giving specific investment advice, let&#39;s look at what you should know before making a decision. &nbsp;
<h2>Palantir is Objectively Overvalued&nbsp;</h2>
By any objective fundamental measure, PLTR stock is expensive. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 359.45, the price-to-sales (P/S) is 41.7, and the PEG is 4.6. &nbsp;
Even among technology stocks, metrics like those suggest that investors are pulling forward a lot of future earnings. However, bulls will argue that there&#39;s a difference between price and value. And stocks like Palantir and NVIDIA can be overvalued for a long time before they grow into their valuation. &nbsp;
<h2>Palantir is Different&nbsp;</h2>
But it may be expensive for a reason. A key reason is Palantir&#39;s ontology, which is how Palantir&#39;s software makes large language models (LLMs) useful. In layman&#39;s terms, Palantir&#39;s ontology allows businesses to get useful insight from their AI investments.&nbsp;
Without a useful ontology, AI has little value for companies. However, as Palantir continues to stack up contracts from both the government and commercial sides, it&#39;s clear that many people are seeing the value in Palantir&#39;s software. It&#39;s also important to note that Palantir&#39;s platform gives its customers the ability to leverage multiple LLMs so customers can experiment with the strengths of various models within the same platform. &nbsp;
<h2>Why You Shouldn&#39;t Sell PLTR Stock&nbsp;</h2>
Palantir skeptics will point out that there&#39;s been a large amount of insider selling in PLTR stock in the last 90 days. You can find a list of these on the Insider Trades page for Palantir stock on MarketBeat. However, in many of these cases, the trading was done as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. That means that these trades were planned for a long time without the insiders having any knowledge of what the stock price would be at the time they sold.
This should remind investors that there are many reasons to sell a stock. In the case of Palantir, many of these executives may receive a significant part of their compensation as stock. &nbsp;
<h2>A Possible Options Trade&nbsp;</h2>
If you&#39;re comfortable with options trading, an option could be to buy puts on PLTR with a longer-dated expiration date. That gives you the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares if the stock falls to your strike price. If you do buy the shares, you&#39;ll be getting them at the new price which could help your average cost if you bought the shares recently. Otherwise, you can simply let the option(s) expire, and you&#39;ll have the same position in the stock.&nbsp;
<h2>One Size Doesn&#39;t Fit All&nbsp;</h2>
The challenge with a stock like Palantir is that your decision to buy or sell will depend on many factors. For example, if you purchased shares when they were at $30 a share, the decision to take some profit may be easier than if you bought shares when the stock was trading for around $8. &nbsp;
It&#39;s possible, but unlikely, that the stock will trade at that level again. Selling some of those shares gives you a larger profit, but you&#39;ll never get shares at that low price again. &nbsp;
Tough call. &nbsp;
Ultimately, investors should always remember that, like corporate insiders, retail investors have many reasons to sell a stock. Only you can answer how you would feel if PLTR stock dropped by 20% or more. &nbsp;

At $43 is it Time to Take Profit with Palantir?

Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/clpr#NYSE">CLPR</a>) shares soared 9.9% in the last trading session to close at $6.65. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 12.7% gain over the past four weeks.
The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to the favorable operating environment.
This company is expected to post quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -20%. Revenues are expected to be $38 million, up 8.2% from the year-ago quarter.
FFO and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in FFO estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Clipper Realty, the consensus FFP per share estimate for the quarter has been revised 33.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in FFO estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on CLPR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Clipper Realty is part of the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Other industry. NNN REIT (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nnn#NYSE">NNN</a>), another stock in the same industry, closed the last trading session 1% higher at $47.95. NNN has returned -2.6% in the past month.
For NNN REIT, the consensus FFO per share estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.84. This represents a change of +2.4% from what the company reported a year ago. NNN REIT currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Benzinga Market Summary: Indexes Fall Amid Weakness In Chip Stocks And Health Insurers, Schwab Surges After Client Assets Increase 27%, China Stocks Fall On Weak Exports And Continued Stimulus Uncertainty

Combining growth and income can be extremely valuable when investing in the stock market. While dividends can provide a stable and consistent stream of cash, the potential for growth can lead to capital appreciation. These three stocks have provided significant income to shareholders and are expected to keep doing so. Additionally, they show avenues for solid growth.
<h2>Frontline: Income the Size of an Oil Tanker</h2>
First up is Frontline PLC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fro#NYSE">FRO</a>). Frontline operates a fleet of oil tankers. As of Jun. 30, 2024, the company operated 82 vessels. The company operates these ships using various ownership structures. These include outright ownership, leasing, and charter agreements. Over the past three years, the company&#39;s trailing twelve-month revenues have seen very strong growth. Revenue has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 35% over that period.
This has coincided with the company&#39;s share price rising 175% over the last three years. That big rise in share price has also given shareholders big dividends. Over the past twelve months, the company&#39;s dividend yield is 7.9%. Its dividend yield has fluctuated widely over time from 0% to upwards of 20%. However, over the last 10 years, its average is 7.2%.
In addition, analysts see the company maintaining strong revenue and earnings per share growth. Analysts expect those figures to rise at a compound annual rate of 20.8% and 9.7%, respectively. Furthermore, Wall Street analysts see solid upside in the stock despite its strong rise in recent years. The average price target for the company implies a 16% upside from its current level. A recent upgrade by BTIG Research supports this potential upside. The firm moved its rating from Neutral to Buy, placing a $30 target on Frontline.
It is important to note that many of Frontline&#39;s vessels, particularly its largest ones, transport oil from the Middle East to other regions. This adds geopolitical risk to the firm.
<h2>Blackstone: 3% Dividend Yield Combined with A Bottoming Market?</h2>
Next up is Blackstone (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bx#NYSE">BX</a>). The financial services company is the largest alternative asset manager in the world. The company manages various, mostly private, investment funds. They focus on real estate, private equity, infrastructure, and hedge fund strategies. It generates revenue from fees that it charges for managing these funds, as well as from incentive fees generated when the funds perform well. Over the past year, the company has achieved strong share price returns and provided a notable amount of dividend income.
Shares are up 42%, and the company&#39;s trailing twelve-month dividend yield is 2.3%. Analysts project that figure will rise by 3% in the next twelve-month period. On average, analysts expect the company&#39;s revenue and earnings per share to continue growing strongly over the next two years. The expected compound annual growth rates for these metrics are 24% and 22%, respectively.
Some evidence shows that the private investment fund industry may be nearing a bottom. If current trends continue, the amount of capital raised for private equity and venture capital funds in 2024 will be the lowest since 2016. The number of these funds launched in the first half of 2024 is down 47% compared to the first half of 2023. Additionally, falling interest rates have historically led to more deals in this industry. Continued falls in interest rates would increase demand for new Blackstone funds, all else being equal. Additionally, the fact that the industry may be at a fundraising bottom could provide a strong tailwind going forward.
<h2>Seagate: More Data Means More Storage</h2>
Last up is Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stx#NASDAQ">STX</a>). Seagate makes hardware that stores data on computers. This includes things like hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs). These devices are where files, videos, and various other types of information are stored on a computer.
Seagate mainly sells its storage solutions to large customers, like data centers. &quot;Mass capacity&quot; customers that require large-scale solutions make up over 90% of the storage Seagate sells. One might consider the company semiconductor-adjacent. Its products rely on semiconductors made by companies like Samsung.
As the world becomes more digitized, there must be more hardware to store digital information. The company cites an International Data Corporation report stating that increased digitization and increased information created by AI will drive demand for data storage. The report expects storage needs to rise by 24% annually through 2028. Analysts are projecting the company&#39;s revenue to rise by 26% annually over the next two years. Additionally, Seagate is expected to provide a respectable dividend yield of 2.6% over the next twelve months.

Top Income Stocks Offering Big Dividend Yields and Future Growth

The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry constituents are poised to gain from the increased adoption of outsourced real estate services and emerging trends. The easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit and drive economic growth, in turn fueling transaction activity. Companies like Newmark Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmrk#NASDAQ">NMRK</a>), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kw#NYSE">KW</a>) and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rmax#NYSE">RMAX</a>) are set to benefit from these positive trends.
However, the industry faces challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Customers remain focused on cost controls and for certain asset categories are delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing.
About the Industry
The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry comprises companies that provide leasing, property management, investment management, valuation, development services, facility management, project management, transaction and consulting services, among others. However, real estate investment trusts or REITs are excluded from this group. Economic trends and government policies impact the real estate market (global and regional), which determines the industry&#39;s performance. Economic activity, employment growth, office-based employment, interest-rate levels, costs and availability of credit, tax and regulatory policies, and the geopolitical environment are the major factors shaping the real estate market&#39;s fate. Also, pandemic-induced public health challenges and geopolitical issues have affected property sales and the leasing lines of businesses.
What&#39;s Shaping the Real Estate Operations Industry&#39;s Future?
Interest Rate Cut Provides Relief for Transaction-Based Business: The latest cut in the interest rates by the Federal Reserve and anticipations of future reductions are expected to drive transaction-based businesses in the United States. Along with the United States, the easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit, and drive economic growth. This is expected to help investors in better price discovery and consequently result in reduced transaction completion times. It is also expected to lead to a rise in the average deal size, thereby bolstering the industry&#39;s near-term revenue prospects.
Outsourcing of Real Estate Needs to Remain Strong: Real estate occupiers, including corporations, public sector entities, healthcare providers, and those in finance, industry, life sciences and technology, are increasingly preferring to outsource their real estate needs. They are entrusting third-party real estate experts to enhance execution and efficiency. Organizations are seeking strategic advice to reimagine their workplaces and workstyles to foster culture, attract talent and improve performance. These developments are creating opportunities for participants in the real estate operations industry. Major players in the industry are leveraging this transition, securing new clients and expanding relationships with existing ones. Also, companies in this industry continue to prioritize investments in technology as it consistently improves efficiency, delivers client services and supports market share growth.
Certain Real Estate Categories&#39; Demand Hurt: The pandemic has significantly reshaped the use of commercial real estate. Also, economic uncertainty continues to affect real estate sales and leasing activities. While companies are promoting the return to office, this transition is gradual, which is hindering tenants&#39; confidence in long-term commitments. As such, pre-pandemic office occupancy levels are likely to remain elusive in the near or intermediate term. Amid a volatile environment and geopolitical issues, customers remain focused on cost controls and delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing. As such, industrial real estate demand remains subdued and this trend is expected to continue in the near term. Additionally, the pace of business-related travel and in-person interactions has not fully rebounded to pre-pandemic norms.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects
The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry is housed within the broader Zacks Finance sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #104, which places it in the top 42% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates robust near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.
The industry&#39;s positioning in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of the upward earnings per share outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings per share estimate revisions, it appears that of late, analysts are gaining confidence in this group&#39;s growth potential. Over the past year, the industry&#39;s earnings per share estimates for 2024 and 2025 have moved 46.8% and 37.2% north, respectively.
Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let&#39;s take a look at the industry&#39;s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

Microsoft's October 2024 Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 Brings Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 To Subscribers

Last week, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) unveiled its long-awaited robotaxi, the star of its next chapter. The Cybercab was revealed at the massive Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California, known as Hollywood. Like the Cybertruck, Tesla&rsquo;s robotaxi has a futuristic design, but the &ldquo;We, Robot&rdquo; event failed to impress. After the event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk&rsquo;s net worth went down by $15 billion as he holds about 13% of the company&rsquo;s shares, but he remains the world&rsquo;s richest person.
<h3>More Information About The Cybercab</h3>
With production scheduled for some time before 2027, Musk also revealed that the Cybercab, which would compete with rivals including Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)-owned Waymo, would cost less than $30,000, which is about the same price as its cheaper Model 3 and Model Y.&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, the Cybercab has no plug as it would use inductive charging, one for which Tesla does not currently have infrastructure for, raising many concerns about the cost of making this driverless dream actually happen.&nbsp;
However, Musk remains optimistic despite skepticism.&nbsp;
After a decade of failing to meet his own deadlines, Musk&rsquo;s prediction that production of the Cybercab would begin some time &quot;before 2027&rdquo; is seen as questionable. Paul Miller from Research Forrester believes it will be extremely difficult for Tesla to offer a new vehicle at that price within that timeframe, which means Tesla would be making a loss on every vehicle.
The glitzy showcase failed to shake off the feeling that Tesla is losing the race.
Thursday was supposed to be the unveiling of Tesla&rsquo;s new chapter, providing a glimpse of its future built on Musk&rsquo;s latest driverless dreams. But with Musk&rsquo;s, history of falling short on promises and Tesla&rsquo;s past of safety issues, there are many concerns around the Cybercab. Adding to the fact that Alphabet is already operating with Waymo, along with other Chinese firms, Tesla is still far from disrupting the landscape. Many have faltered with automated driving technology when it came to figuring out a profitable business model. For example, it took Google quite some time to scale Waymo. On Thursday, humanoid Optimus robots served drinks and the world got a glimpse of Tesla&rsquo;s robotaxi fleet, &ldquo;Cybercab&rdquo; and &ldquo;Robovan&rdquo;, with disappointment in the air. While reasons varied, from not-so-thrilling joyrides in the new vehicles to not-so-self-functioning self-functioning robots and so-on, Tesla failed to impress as it goes up against not only Google and its Waymo, but General Motors (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) and its Cruise autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Zoox, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)&rsquo;s self-driving subsidiary. All in all, the market was probably mostly disappointed because they the dazzling event failed not provide any concrete numbers.

Tesla Fails To Justify The Robotaxi Hype With Concrete Figures

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) showed off its robotaxi autonomous vehicle and a larger autonomous vehicle it referenced as the Robovan during its highly anticipated<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself"> Robotaxi Day last week.</a>
Newly uncovered trademark filings could show what names the company prefers for the vehicles and will use going forward.
What Happened: Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41295072/tesla-robotaxi-day-event-more-fanfare-than-substance-8-analysts-on-cybercab-optimus">showed off the company's vision</a> of an autonomous vehicle that will hopefully take consumers from place to place without needing a driver or any intervention.
The company also showed off a larger vehicle that can take up to 20 passengers to destinations that acts similar to a shuttle.
Both vehicles could be part of the future for Tesla as it looks to autonomous vehicles for growth. Both vehicles also drew pushback from the director of movie "I, Robot" for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41314770/elon-musk-tesla-accused-of-stealing-ideas-from-i-robot-movie-for-cybercab-robovan-can-i-hav"> their similar designs </a>to vehicles in the movie.
Going forward, one debate for Tesla and Musk could be what to call the vehicles.
Before the Oct. 10 event and during the event, the autonomous vehicle was referenced as both "Cybercab" and "Robotaxi." On Tesla's <a href="https://www.tesla.com/we-robot">website</a>, the company uses the phrase Robotaxi to describe the newly unveiled vehicle.
A report from <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/10/14/tesla-trademarks-robobus-and-robotaxi/">Electrek </a>says Tesla has filed to trademark "Robotaxi" for electric vehicles and for ridesharing and commercial use.
The report also said Tesla has filed to trademark "Robobus," which could indicate the term Robovan used by Musk and the company on Oct. 10 was a placeholder. Tesla's website now uses the term Robovan to describe the vehicle.
You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Trademark filed don't guarantee that they will be granted or that the company will use the names. In this case, the trademark filings likely point to names that Tesla is considering using for the newly unveiled vehicles.
Tesla's new vehicles are years away from production with Musk sharing a goal of the robotaxi vehicle to be in production before 2027 with a goal of costing under $30,000.
The EV company has been known to overpromise in the past when it comes to production timelines and vehicle costs.
Regardless of what the vehicles are called, autonomous vehicles face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship">potential hurdles on regulation </a>on a nationwide basis. Surveys show they must win over consumers who are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41279865/elon-musk-may-unveil-teslas-robotaxi-but-consumers-respond-with-ehhh-new-study-reveals-skepticism-ne">scared of the technology.</a>
Price Action: Tesla stock is up 1% to $220.44 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $271. Tesla stock is down 10% over the last five days and down 11% year-to-date in 2024.

Defense and aerospace stocks, as tracked by the iShares US Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) have returned a remarkable 22% year-to-date in 2024; an aerospace expert weighed in on whether companies can keep up with sky-high valuations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/10/41150239/investors-look-to-gold-as-middle-east-tensions-rise-how-israel-iran-conflict-could-impact-pri">fueled by tensions</a> in the Middle East.
The Aerospace Analyst: RBC analyst Ken Herbert reiterated Outperform ratings for the following aerospace companies in a note published Monday:
<ul>
<li>Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), lowering its price target from $220 to $200.</li>
<li>General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), raising its price target from $190 to $210.</li>
<li>General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>), maintaining its price target at $320.</li>
<li>Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>), lowering its price target from 180 euros to 160 euros.</li>
</ul>
Industry Takeaways: Herbert noted the industry&#8217;s impressive performance in 2024.
&#8220;Investor sentiment into 3Q24 A&amp;D results is positive on defense stocks, with concerns about near-term incremental upside after the recent strength for many defense stocks. Sentiment seems universally bullish on the aerospace aftermarket, although these stocks appear about as crowded on the long side as we have seen,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;We believe the aero OE outlook is uncertain at best.&#8221;
The analyst noted his belief that aerospace valuations will hold in the near-to-mid term.
Boeing Takeaways: Herbert says that Boeing&#8217;s current risk-to-reward is favorable.
&#8220;We believe we are ~36 months into what should be a 4-to 5-year order cycle. Granted, the world is different today than it was for any prior cycle, but we expect demand for narrowbody aircraft to remain strong,&#8221; Herbert said.
The analyst believes that the ongoing labor strike at Boeing will be resolved before it releases its third-quarter earnings.
GE Aero Takeaways: Although Herbert raised General Electric&#8217;s price target, he simultaneously lowered expectations of 2024, 2025 and 2026 LEAP engine deliveries.
&#8220;While we are more cautious on revenue growth, we are raising our estimates for adj operating income and adj. EPS as GE Aero benefits from mix,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;We believe the healthy aftermarket demand fundamentals and continued favorable pricing on spare parts will offset downside risk to new LEAP deliveries, although investors will likely be focused on execution for this program.&#8221;
Herbert believes that the bear case for GE is &#8220;fading&#8221; amid efforts to derisk its balance sheet.
General Dynamics Takeaways: Herbert&#8217;s lowering of General Dynamics&#8217; price target comes amid pessimism in Gulfstream delivery estimates. The analyst sees headwinds ahead in delivering its G700 aircraft.
Herbert is still bullish on the company, with a perceived upside amid the continuing war in Ukraine.
Airbus Takeaways: The analyst&#8217;s lowered price target is attributed to lower delivery estimates in the near term. He believes the stock can perform well, even though the company will likely walk back its mid-decade target of 1,000 deliveries.
Herbert sees Airbus&#8217; core strengths as its strong backlog, cash position and margin expansion.
