McCormick Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

The World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Global Risks Report" for 2025 paints a sobering picture of the challenges ahead. The survey, released during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/world-economic-forum#more-news">WEF&#8217;s annual meeting in Davos</a>, Switzerland, highlights the risks of geopolitical tensions, climate change and disinformation. 
These risks call for strategies to safeguard investments while capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Here&#8217;s how some ETFs could help investors sail smoothly through each global challenge mentioned in the survey.
Armed Conflict
According to the WEF report, 23% of respondents named state-based armed conflict as the most pressing risk for 2025. Persistent geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the unrest in the Middle East, have shaken global trust.
In such a dire situation, defense ETFs and global security ETFs can save the day for investors. iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) provides exposure to U.S.-based companies in the defense sector, which could benefit from increased government spending on military capabilities. Moreover, an expense ratio of 0.4% makes it a cost-effective option. Also, a beta of 0.97% means it is at slightly lower risk than the broader market during volatility.
In addition, the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Future Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITE#NYSE">FITE</a>) focuses on innovative companies addressing global security challenges, including cybersecurity and physical defense. A glimpse of its top holdings include Viasat (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>), Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and F5 Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NASDAQ">FFIV</a>). The fund boasts an expense ratio of 0.45%.
Extreme Weather
The climate crisis is intensifying the frequency and severity of weather events such as floods, heatwaves, and tornadoes. With environmental risks dominating the 10-year horizon, resilient investment strategies are the need of the hour.
Clean Energy ETFs are well-positioned to capitalize on this global challenge. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) has holdings in solar energy companies like Enphase Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NYSE">ENPH</a>) and First Solar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NYSE">FSLR</a>), which are poised to benefit from global decarbonization efforts.

Disinformation and Misinformation
For the second consecutive year, the scourge of misinformation and disinformation has been flagged by WEF as a top risk, leading to societal distrust, markets disruption, and heightened polarization. 
Many tech companies are united in their efforts to curb the spread of misinformation as well as disinformation (there is a very thin line of intentions separating the two terms). However, among those most equipped to fight this menace are cybersecurity companies. Naturally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42829188/hack-attack-cybercrime-surge-fuels-demand-for-cybersecurity-etfs">ETFs focusing on the cybersecurity sector</a> stand to gain.
First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) focuses on companies addressing cyber threats, which often fan the fire of misinformation. Stocks of companies like Broadcom, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Crowdstrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), prominent players in the cybersecurity space, are part of this fund&#8217;s holdings. 
Media ETFs like the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>) can also benefit from media firms, which are increasingly becoming content-conscious. Media firms may benefit from investing in trusted content creation and digital information technologies.
Why ETFs Are Ideal In Turbulent Times
Insights from over 900 global risk experts, policymakers and industry leaders in September and October last year were obtained to compile WEF&#8217;s survey report. Some of the other short-term risks that the WEF's report highlights include societal polarization, cyber espionage, pollution, and inequality.
In these turbulent times, investors seek to hedge their investments instead of holding back from the market. ETFs come into the picture as flexible, cost-efficient and concern-specific instruments that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across sectors and geographies during global uncertainties.
As Carolina Klint of Marsh McLennan Europe told CNBC, "I think we're navigating an era now marked by increasing economic tensions&#8230;And I think we have to recognize the fragmentation is not a theoretical concern. It is something that we need to confront today. So, it has resulted in a more complex and uncertain trading environment." 
Building a resilient portfolio with ETFs aligned to global challenges can help investors power through 2025.

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nus#NYSE">NUS</a>) is driving its growth strategy through key initiatives that aim to revitalize its market presence and tap into high-growth areas. The company continues to prioritize thoughtful product introductions that align with shifting consumer preferences. A recent example is the launch of MYND360, a new line of clinically validated nutritional formulas tailored to support cognitive well-being.
Featuring six products, MYND360 is designed to enable users to manage stress, remain focused, enhance memory and sleep better. This innovation reflects Nu Skin&#39;s focus on the fast-growing brain health market. While these upsides, along with strength in the Rhyz business, have been working well. Nu Skin remains troubled by persistent macroeconomic obstacles.
<h2>Product Launches a Key Driver for Nu Skin</h2>
With the help of advanced technology and well-strategized product programs, Nu Skin tries to capture greater market share and maintain growth momentum. The company&#39;s long-term strategies stand on three key pillars &mdash; Products, Programs and Platforms. NUS has been successfully launching innovative beauty devices, which have become an important part of its growth.
Nu Skin&#39;s second-quarter 2024 results included positive contributions from new products such as Ageloc, Wellspa IO and RenewspA IO, along with the company&#39;s TRME weight management system. The ageLOC WellSpa iO has been a solid addition to the company&#39;s beauty device system brands, generating impressive response.

<h2>Nu Skin Gains From Rhyz Business</h2>
Nu Skin&#39;s Rhyz business emerges as a cornerstone of its strategic vision, highlighted by its remarkable growth trajectory and significant contribution to the company&#39;s revenue stream. Rhyz represents a cohesive ecosystem comprising consumer, technology, and manufacturing entities, all dedicated to pioneering innovation within the realms of beauty, wellness, and lifestyle. Experiencing 32.3% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024, Rhyz accounted for 15% of total enterprise revenues and is anticipated to reach 20% to 25% by 2025.
The success of this business reflects Nu Skin&#39;s commitment to capitalizing on evolving consumer trends, particularly in influencer and affiliate marketing, which are projected to surge in the coming years. By investing in Rhyz&#39;s manufacturing capabilities, technology advancements, and creator-led indie beauty brands, Nu Skin is strategically positioning itself to drive sustained growth and value creation within the beauty, wellness, and lifestyle market.
<h2>Challenges Faced by NUS</h2>
Nu Skin&#39;s second-quarter 2024 performance was hurt by continuous macroeconomic headwinds across most regions, which weighed on consumer spending and customer acquisition, especially for premium products. The company also grappled with pressures in the direct selling industry. These headwinds, along with foreign adverse currency fluctuations, hurt Nu Skin&#39;s quarterly revenues, which tumbled 12.2% year over year to $439.1 million in the second quarter.
The operating environment for Nu Skin&#39;s core business remains challenging, primarily due to macroeconomic factors and pressures within the direct selling industry. Taking into account the company&#39;s first-half 2024 performance and rising foreign exchange headwinds, management tightened the annual guidance range for 2024 in its second-quarter earnings release.
Nu Skin now anticipates revenues in the band of $1.73-$1.81 billion for 2024, which suggests a 12-8% decline from the year-ago period&#39;s reported figure. Earlier, the metric was expected to be in the range of $1.73-$1.87 billion. Management envisions adjusted earnings per share of 75-95 cents. The projection suggests a decline from adjusted earnings of $1.85 recorded in 2023. Management had earlier envisioned an adjusted EPS of 95 cents to $1.35 for 2024.
For the third quarter of 2024, the company expects revenues between $430 million and $465 million, which suggests a decline of 14% to 7% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported level. The company expects adjusted EPS of 15-25 cents in the third quarter of 2024 compared with 56 cents recorded in the same period last year. Shares of NUS have plunged 42.6% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s decline of 10%.
<h2>Final Words on NUS</h2>
Nu Skin continues to drive growth through strategic initiatives, innovative product launches, and the expanding Rhyz business. While the company has made significant strides in capturing market opportunities, especially in the beauty and brain health sectors, it faces ongoing challenges from macroeconomic pressures and headwinds in the direct selling industry. Moving forward, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company&#39;s ability to balance innovation with market realities will be key to sustaining its growth trajectory.

The Mad Money host said GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) goes higher.
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) is a &#8220;winner,&#8221; he said.
