12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

U.S. stock futures are slipping early Wednesday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/10/41129967/market-sells-off-over-irans-attack-on-israel-port-strikes-hurricane-helene-national-se">Middle East tensions </a>and the impact of Hurricane Helene set off worries and dragged the major indices in the previous session. These added concerns sapped risk appetite that was on the wane amid the overbought levels of the market, lingering economic uncertainties, and the looming presidential election and third-quarter reporting season. On Wednesday, traders may keep a close eye on ADP&#8217;s private payrolls report, often considered a precursor to Friday&#8217;s non-farm payrolls report, due ahead of the market open, as well as comments by Federal Reserve officials.

Cues From Last Session:
Wall Street pulled back sharply on Tuesday as traders reacted negatively to Iran&#8217;s missile attack on Israel, the start of a dockworkers&#8217; strike that would handicap half of the country&#8217;s shipping and the impact of Hurricane Helene, which unleashed its fury over the Southeastern states. To make matters worse, the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index contracted by more than expected.
On a positive note, job openings came in at a better-than-expected 8 million in August, the Labor Department said.
The averages opened lower and languished below the unchanged line throughout the session before closing sharply lower. All but energy, utility and communication services stocks, closed lower, with IT stock coming in for a sound thrashing.

Insights From Analysts:
October is a seasonally strong month but it often starts slow before picking up momentum as the third-quarter earnings announcements begin to drop, said fund manager Louis Navellier. &#8220;I am expecting that the second half of October will be stronger than the first half,&#8221; he said. The fund manager expects fundamentally superior stocks to benefit from earnings surprises.
Further ahead into November, the next president would have been elected and the Fed will cut interest rates again, he said. He expects consumer sentiment to improve with most of the economic and political uncertainty removed.

Resources Connection (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGP#NASDAQ">RGP</a>) reported quarterly sales of $136.935 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $137.917 million by 0.71 percent.

RGP Unveils New Brand Identity; Made Organizational Shifts To Position As Parent Company Of On-Demand by RGPTM, Veracity by RGPTM and Countsy by RGPTM

Stocks are gearing up for another nervy start on Tuesday after they scrapped through in the previous session to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41110228/s-p-records-first-positive-september-since-2019-amid-improving-investor-sentiment-fear-index-moves-"> finish a seasonally weak September on a high.</a> Some strategists point to the unusual September gains as a testament to the market&#8217;s resilience. The unequivocal belief is the gains could continue into the fourth quarter and beyond only if the economy can skirt a recession.
Each incoming economic data, including the job opening and manufacturing activity data due Tuesday, would offer evidence regarding the economy&#8217;s strength or lack thereof. This being the presidential election year, traders brace for more volatility at least until Nov. 5. The market may also have to contend with earnings as they begin to roll out in the second half of the month.

Cues From Last Week:
U.S. stocks survived a bout of selling pressure and closed Monday&#8217;s session higher. The overbought levels and a slump in some major global markets introduced caution right at the start of the session, and the major indices moved mostly below the unchanged line for much of the session. The selling intensified after Fed Chair Jerome Powell poured cold water on hopes of rapid downward adjustment of rates during his speech.
The major indices staged a late-hour recovery to end September firmly in the green, with the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Industrials closing at fresh highs. Nine of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes closed in the green, with communication services, energy and real estate stocks seeing strong buying interest. On the other hand, material and consumer discretionary stocks pulled back.

Insights From Analysts:
Fed&#8217;s larger-than-expected rate cut can buy more time for high-quality stocks to remain expensive and even help lower-quality cyclical stocks, especially after recent China actions, said Morgan Stanley&#8217;s US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson. &#8220;However, I believe labor data and other growth indicators need to improve to justify these conditions continuing into year-end and beyond – i.e., a soft landing with growth reaccelerating, inflation stabilizing above 2%, and the Fed continuing to cut rates, &#8221; the strategist said.
The market is entering a seasonally strong period after being up for eight of the nine months. Fund Strat&#8217;s Head of Research Tom Lee said in the firm&#8217;s weekly commentary that the following three favorable structural drivers for equities support &#8220;buy the dip:&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Fed launches easing cycle + &#8220;no landing&#8221;</li>
<li>China PBOC bazooka</li>
<li>Post-election and cash on sidelines dynamics</li>
</ul>
He noted that when the Fed cuts rate and the US economy is not in recession, the S&amp;P 500 Index has risen seven out of seven times both three and six months later.

Analyst Ratings

JP Morgan Maintains Underweight on Resources Connection, Lowers Price Target to $11

Resources Connection (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rgp#NYSE">RGP</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.10 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.44 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 180%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this consulting company would post a loss of $0.01 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.17, delivering a surprise of 1,800%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Resources Connection, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $148.2 million for the quarter ended May 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.61%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $184.45 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Resources Connection shares have lost about 22.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 17.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Resources Connection?
While Resources Connection has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Resources Connection: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $153.24 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.01 on $659.69 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Staffing Firms is currently in the top 33% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsp#NYSE">NSP</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Insperity, Inc.&#39;s revenues are expected to be $1.62 billion, up 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Lamb Weston Reports Weak Earnings, Joins Paragon 28, Resources Connection And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower On Thursday

U.S. stocks appear poised for a positive open on Thursday, reversing recent sluggishness, despite&nbsp;Federal Reserve&nbsp;Chair&nbsp;Jerome Powell&nbsp;signaling the central bank&#8217;s&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38085080/never-mind-jerome-powell-bullish-analyst-predicts-over-3-rate-cuts-this-year-calls-" rel="noreferrer noopener">data-dependent approach</a>&nbsp;to future rate cuts.
Traders seem unfazed by Powell&#8217;s hawkish stance, with some clinging to their expectation of three rate cuts this year. Strong gains earlier this year and typical market optimism during election years further solidify this sentiment. The broad-based market rally adds another reason for confidence.
On Thursday, traders will likely look to the weekly jobless claims data and a slew of Fed speeches to confirm their expectations.

Insights From Analysts:
Comerica Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch said the equity market could be in for more gains in the rest of the year but cautioned of several market dynamics coming into play. &#8220;In the equity markets, history shows that early-year success often begets further gains as the calendar year progresses,&#8221; the analyst said.
&#8220;Since 1970, when the S&amp;P 500 has risen more than 10.0% in the first quarter, the Index climbs by an average of 6.1% for the remaining three quarters, with positive returns in eight of the nine occurrences.&#8221;
A potential full-year return of this magnitude could mean the average return during a presidential year could double, Lynch said. He also said many market dynamics, including both technicals and fundamentals, could come into play. &#8220;Technical tailwinds are evident, though fundamentals remain dependent on other factors including demand, pricing, geopolitics and policy,&#8221; he said.
FundStrat&#8217;s Tom Lee made the case for buying the recent mini-dip in the firm&#8217;s commentary published on Wednesday. Following the recent weakness, the broader indices were in oversold levels, based on a 30-minute relative-strength index, and were still amid a clear uptrend, he said.
Citing Mark Newton, Global Head of Technical Strategy at FundStrat, Lee said cyclical factors are favorable for stocks into April 20th. A key inflation data point coming on April 10 will likely show March core consumer price inflation coming in below the consensus, he said.
Lee also flagged potential artificial tax-related selling pressure on stocks this week and into next week as investors need to raise cash to pay capital gains. &#8220;This is a short-term mechanical issue and will dissipate when tax day passes. In other words, take advantage of this short-term distortion,&#8221; he said.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The Labor Department is scheduled to release the weekly jobless claims report at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits to come to 213,000 for the week ended March 30, up from 210,000 in the previous week.
The Commerce Department is due to release the trade balance report for February at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect a trade deficit of $67.7 billion, slightly up from $67.4 billion in January.
The Treasury will auction four- and eight-week bills at 11:30 a.m. EDT.
Among the Fed speeches scheduled for the day are:
<ul>
<li>Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker: 10 a.m. EDT</li>
<li>Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin: 12:15 p.m. EDT</li>
<li>Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee: 12:45 p.m. EDT</li>
<li>Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari: 2 p.m. EDT</li>
<li>Fed Governor Adriana Kugler: 7:30 p.m. EDT</li>
