12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Wall Street climbed on Thursday, even as the Producer Price Index (PPI) sharply exceeded estimates in January, reigniting concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43692996/inflation-fears-mount-as-producer-prices-soar-to-35-put-fed-interest-rate-cut-on-ice">over persistent inflationary pressures. </a>
Despite the hotter-than-expected PPI reading—up 3.5% year-over-year in January, surpassing the 3.3% forecast—investors found some relief in certain PPI components that influence the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, which showed signs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43701823/economists-breathe-sigh-of-relief-why-producer-inflation-isnt-as-bad-as-it-seems">cooling compared to December.</a>
Investor risk appetite remained supported by expectations of ceasefire talks in Ukraine following a conversation between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin a day earlier. 
By midday trading in New York, all major indices were in positive territory, with technology stocks leading the gains. Among semiconductor stocks, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) continued to rally, surging 10% after strong performances in prior sessions. 
The U.S. chipmaker benefited from renewed buying momentum following comments from Vice President J.D. Vance, who indicated that the Trump administration plans to ease regulations to accelerate AI chip innovation in the U.S.
Intel has now soared over 27% this week, tracking its best weekly performance since 1974. 
The U.S. dollar extended its decline as Treasury yields pulled back sharply, reversing Wednesday&#8217;s surge.
In commodities, gold edged up 0.4% to $2,918 per ounce, oil remained steady at $71 per barrel, and natural gas surged 2.4% to $3.66 per million British thermal units. 
Sentiment in cryptocurrency markets remained subdued, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) sliding 2.4% to trade below $96,000.

Dow Jumps Over 100 Points; Deere Posts Upbeat Earnings

On Thursday,&nbsp;West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WST#NYSE">WST</a>) reported a fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.82, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.72</a>.
The designer and manufacturer of injectable pharmaceutical packaging and delivery systems reported sales of $748.8 million, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43687013/west-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $740.47 million</a>.
The Proprietary Products Segment's sales increased by 3.4% to $613.9 million, and the organic net sales growth was 4.5%.
High-value products (components and devices) represented around 74% of segment net sales, led by customer demand for self-injection device platforms. Fourth-quarter sales included a benefit of approximately $25&nbsp;million in customer incentives earned in connection with volumes achieved related to HVP Delivery Devices.
The Biologics market unit experienced high-single-digit organic net sales growth, driven by an increase in sales of self-injection device platforms, offset by lower sales of NovaPure products.
The Pharma market unit saw mid-single-digit organic net sales growth, driven by an increase in Westar products and Administrative Systems sales.
The Generics market unit had a mid-single digit organic net sales decline, driven by lower volumes of FluroTec products.
Sales in the Contract-Manufactured Products Segment declined by 2.5% to $134.9 million, while organic net sales declined by 2.0%. Segment performance was driven by a continued decrease in sales of healthcare diagnostic devices, partially offset by growth in self-injection devices for obesity and diabetes.
Guidance: West Pharmaceutical Services forecasts 2025 adjusted EPS of $6.00-$6.20 below the consensus of $7.44.
The company expects 2025 revenues of $2.875 billion-$2.91 billion versus a consensus of $3.04 billion.
<ul>
<li>Organic net sales growth is expected to be approximately 2% to 3%.</li>
<li>Net sales guidance includes an estimated full-year 2025 headwind of $75 million based on current foreign currency exchange rates.</li>
</ul>
"Looking ahead to 2025, we expect our business momentum to continue in key areas of our Proprietary Products business, driven by improving High-Value Products trends in Biologics and Generics, and growth driven by Annex 1 and GLP-1. We are focused on operational excellence and driving strong returns in 2025," said Eric Green, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair.
William Blair writes that West Pharmaceutical stock currently trades at 52.8 times the midpoint of the company's 2025 adjusted EPS guidance.
"Generally speaking, we expect the stock to track to earnings growth that we peg in the low- to midteens long term; however, we believe both 1) that growth profile may not return until mid-to late 2025 and 2) much of the alpha will be recaptured moving into that return-to growth," writes analyst Matt Larew.
William Blair reiterates <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WST/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Outperform rating</a>.
Price Action:&nbsp;On Thursday&#8217;s last check, WST stock was down 33.90% at $213.25.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing West Pharmaceutical Servs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, West Pharmaceutical Servs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.24%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
