Crane Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (4 Ratings)

Asana Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASAN#NYSE">ASAN</a>) stock plunged after multiple Wall Street firms cut their respective price targets.
Asana reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44254322/asana-shares-are-tumbling-tuesday-whats-driving-the-action" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $188.33 million, beating analyst estimates of $188.1 million. The company reported breakeven fourth-quarter earnings, beating analyst estimates for a loss of 1 cent per share.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44245291/ciena-q1-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-estimates-ceo-eyes-ai-cloud-network-tailwinds" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ciena Q1 Earnings: Revenue and EPS Beat Estimates, CEO Eyes AI, Cloud Network Tailwinds</a>
Asana guided for first-quarter revenue of $184.5 million-$186.5 million and first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.02.
Asana co-founder, CEO, and chair&nbsp;Dustin Moskovitz&nbsp;informed the board of his intention to transition to chair. Asana has retained an executive search firm to search for a new CEO.
JP Morgan analyst Pinjalim Bora maintained Asana with an Underweight rating and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASAN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$15&nbsp;to&nbsp;$13</a>.
The analyst writes that Asana&#8217;s fourth quarter highlighted the stabilization of growth and retention metrics while profitability outperformed. The fourth-quarter revenue aligned with consensus and marked a steady growth versus last quarter on an FX-adjusted basis.
Calculated billings landed slightly above, accelerating into the low-double-digit zone. Dollar-based net retention rate (DBNRR) was stable at 96% on a reported basis, while the in-quarter net retention rate improved sequentially.
While non-tech verticals were stable, Asana highlighted continued softness in the tech vertical (primarily driven by a reduction in seats and one logo churn).
This pressured the reported DBNRR for customers spending over $100K in ACV, which contracted 3 pts sequentially to 96%, landing in line with the overall reported number for the first time.
On AI studio, Asana reported that the early momentum had exceeded the company&#8217;s expectations. It has already amassed a multi-million dollar pipeline and paid customers.
As such, the company aims to establish a dedicated sales team to capitalize on the opportunity and embark on some broader sales capacity alignment.
The brightest spot in the results was a solid improvement in profitability in the quarter and in the guide.
While the company highlighted several avenues of conservatism in the guide (not baking in any improvement in net retention or performance of the tech vertical and baking in de minimis contribution from AI Studio, with no contribution from consumption), Bora&#8217;s understanding is that the guide was set a couple of weeks ago, and does not bake in any deterioration in macro from the current levels, which could be a risk to the plan (offset by potential improvement in FX during that period).
Overall, while growth continues to materially lag that of peers, which would likely drive underperformance in the shares in the near term. Bora noted Asana as essentially a profitability story from here on out, with multiple levers to drive material improvement in margins in the future.
Bora projected first-quarter revenue of $186 million and adjusted EPS of $0.02.
Price Action: ASAN stock is down 23.6% at $12.74 at last check Tuesday.

Moderna Exec Says Co Expects "Little Bit More Of A Business As Usual" In Terms Of Vaccine-Related Meetings As Confirmations For Key Healthcare Roles Take Place

Wall Street's losing streak extended into Tuesday, with stocks deepening their slump as continued trade war fears rattled investor sentiment. 
The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.6% by midday trading in New York after suffering on Monday its worst single-day drop since September 2022<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44255030/nasdaq-100-trades-below-its-200-day-moving-average-history-says-you-should-buy-the-dip-now"> in the prior session. </a>
The broader S&amp;P 500 slid to a seven-month low, amplifying concerns over the market's near-term trajectory.
The proportion of S&amp;P 500 stocks trading above their 200-day moving average has now shrunk to 44%, the lowest since November 2023. Each sector traded in the red, highlighting broad-based market weakness. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the biggest underperformer on Tuesday, with industrial stocks bearing the brunt of escalating trade tensions.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by raising tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%, responding to Ontario's move to levy a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44253100/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-threatens-auto-industry">electricity exports to the U.S. </a>
In a Truth Social post, Trump announced he had instructed the Commerce secretary to enforce the additional 25% tariff, which will take effect Wednesday morning.
On the macroeconomic front, job openings in the U.S. showed unexpected resilience, rising by 232,000 to 7.74 million in January from a downwardly revised 7.51 million in December. The reading exceeded market forecasts of 7.63 million, suggesting positive labor market news despite broader economic jitters.
The U.S. dollar continued its descent, with the dollar index slipping to six-month lows. Treasury yields edged higher ahead of Wednesday's closely watched inflation report for February, signaling that investors were not rushing into safe-haven bonds despite the ongoing market turbulence.
Commodities, meanwhile, found favor as investors sought inflation hedges. Gold advanced 1%, silver surged 2.3% and copper climbed 3%, reflecting renewed demand for tangible assets in a climate of heightened financial instability.
Bitcoin endured a wild session, initially plunging to an intraday low of $76,600 — its lowest level since Nov. 10, 2024 — before rebounding to post a 3.9% gain on the day.

Wall Street Drop Deepens As Trade War Fears Escalate, S&P 500 Hits 7-Month Lows: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Jade J. Rahmani downgraded Lennar Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) from Outperform to Market Perform and reduced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $152 to $141.</a>
The analyst writes that the company&#8217;s valuation is now comparable to large-cap peers, with potential downside risks to estimates.
The analyst expects a challenging Spring selling season and growing risks to gross margin due to the tough macro environment and uncertainty <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener">Millrose Properties</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43625476/lennar-completes-spin-off-of-millrose-properties" rel="noreferrer noopener"> spin-off</a>.
Consequently, Rahmani stated that he had adopted a more cautious approach towards the company. The analyst moves to the sidelines and awaits a better entry point.
While the analyst still sees the company as well-positioned due to several factors, such as its low financial leverage, potential ROE upside from the Millrose spin-off, and capital efficiency initiatives, the current housing market presents significant challenges.
The analyst cut the 2025-2026 estimates by 3%-4% to $11.89 and $13.44.
Rahmani continues to see order growth of 3% &#8211; 7% for the period. Meanwhile, the analyst revised estimates for deliveries growth to 5% &#8211; 6% (vs. prior estimates of 5% &#8211; 7%), gross margin to be 20.0% &#8211; 20.3% (vs. 20.3% &#8211; 20.5% earlier), and SG&amp;A to 7.6% &#8211; 7.7% (vs. 7.6% prior).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) and John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust John Hancock Fundamental All Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHAC#NYSE">JHAC</a>).

On Monday, Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) said that it is implementing cost cuts of approximately $100 million in fiscal year 2025 in response to China's recent ban on importing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">its sequencers</a>.
Last week, China banned imports of genetic sequencers from&nbsp;Illumina just after U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump's&nbsp;additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods took effect.
China accounted&nbsp;for&nbsp;about 7% of Illumina's&nbsp;sales of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/03/44110625/us-firm-illumina-faces-setback-as-china-blocks-imports-amid-escalating-trade-war" rel="noreferrer noopener">$4.3 billion&nbsp;in 2024</a>.
The diagnostic firm has lowered its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $4.50, at the low end of the range of $4.50 to $4.65, compared to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43544682/illumina-reports-financial-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $4.45</a>.
In February, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce added Illumina and Calvin Klein owner&nbsp;PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) to its list of unreliable entities amid the ongoing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/02/43455326/illumina-stock-tumbles-nearly-5-overnight-on-robinhood-as-china-adds-ilmn-calvin-klein-owner-pvh-to-u" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade war with the U.S</a>.
China claimed the two companies had disrupted normal market transactions and tried to harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
According to Illumina, "These savings would mitigate the impact of a range of potential scenarios for a reduction in revenue and related operating income from the company's Greater China business. The cost reduction program includes optimizing stock-based compensation and non-labor spending and accelerating certain productivity measures."
"Our new fiscal 2025 guidance provides for limited further earnings contribution from China and assumes a continuation of the macro trends we see today," Illumina CFO Ankur Dhingra <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/03/44236048/illumina-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a statement.
"We will continue to invest in our growth strategy, while taking actions to achieve EPS of approximately $4.50 in 2025, and then grow from there." "We remain focused on achieving high-single-digit revenue growth by 2027, while expanding our margins," Illumina CEO Jacob Thaysen said in a statement.
Illumina CFO Dhingra <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/illumina-to-cut-100-million-in-costs-lowers-guidance-because-of-china-sales-ban-ff8b495a?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> the Wall Street Journal that the company still runs a facility in China that assembles its older machines. Illumina will also continue selling chemicals and other services to Chinese customers. According to Dhingra, about 90% of the company's global revenue comes from these chemical and service sales.
Price Action: ILMN stock is down 1.24% at $84.90 at the last check on Tuesday.

Roku Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) shares are trading lower by 6.2% to $123.87 during Tuesday&#8217;s session. Shares of several travel-related stocks fell Tuesday following Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44237055/delta-air-lines-cuts-q1-guidance-below-estimates-airline-stocks-fall">announcement</a> of lowered revenue and profit guidance, which raised concerns about weakening travel demand. Additionally, American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) cut its first-quarter adjusted EPS outlook.
What To Know: Delta and American Airlines&#8217; revised forecasts, citing economic uncertainty and declining consumer confidence, signals a potential slowdown in discretionary spending, a key driver for Airbnb&#8217;s short-term rental business.

Airbnb heavily relies on strong travel demand, particularly in the domestic U.S. market, where Delta flagged softness. If consumers are cutting back on flights due to financial concerns, they may also reduce spending on accommodations, directly impacting Airbnb&#8217;s bookings. 
Additionally, Delta's CEO noted declines in both corporate and leisure travel, suggesting a broader pullback that could weigh on Airbnb's revenue growth.
With travel demand appearing weaker than expected, investors fear Airbnb's outlook may also soften. The company's dependence on resilient travel trends makes it particularly vulnerable to shifts in consumer sentiment.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ABNB Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Airbnb&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ABNB has a 52-week high of $170.10 and a 52-week low of $110.38.
