RBC Capital Maintains Sector Perform on Federated Hermes, Raises Price Target to $43

Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) reported on Tuesday that the first-quarter 2025 loss of&nbsp;$3.42 per share was missing the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">losses of 95 cents</a>.
Quarterly revenue came in at $744.86 million,&nbsp;beating the consensus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45235113/sarepta-therapeutics-announces-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-recent-corporate-developme" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of&nbsp;$683.36 million</a>.
According to Sarepta CEO Doug Ingram, the company also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45254051/vinay-prasads-appointment-to-fdas-cber-triggers-questions-over-future-of-cell-and-gene-therapy-re" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">faced headwinds in the quarter</a>. 
&#8220;While we are taking a variety of actions to address and resolve these challenges, we have adjusted our guidance for 2025 to $2.3 billion to $2.6 billion,&#8221; Ingram said. &#8220;The broader biotech market has also faced significant pressure in the first quarter of 2025. Fortunately, as an organization with four life-changing therapies, significant revenue, and a deep pipeline, Sarepta is well-positioned to navigate these chaotic times.&#8221;

Guidance: Sarepta revised its 2025 total net product revenues guidance to $2.3-$2.6 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42954480/sarepta-therapeutics-reports-preliminary-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-net-product-revenue" rel="noreferrer noopener">from $2.9-$3.1 billion</a>.
William Blair writes that the revised guidance primarily relates to delayed Elevidys turnaround times.
The time from starting treatment paperwork to actual infusion takes about 1 to 1.5 months longer than expected. This delay is mostly due to stricter screening steps added to protect patients in the larger treatment group, analyst Sami Corwin says. Although the company is trying to speed things up and reduce delays, it expects these early-year trends to continue throughout the rest of the year.
&#8220;We view the miss in total net product and Elevidys revenue as unfortunate and disappointing given the macroeconomic overhangs that have already caused the stock to come under pressure,&#8221; William Blair writes.
The analyst adds that management believes the impact on Elevidys's revenue will be temporary, and expects demand to pick up in the second half of the year, starting in the summer.

Ready Capital (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RC#NYSE">RC</a>) is preparing to release its quarterly earnings on Thursday, 2025-05-08. Here's a brief overview of what investors should keep in mind before the announcement.

Southern's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 21.96 million shares sold short, which is 2.0% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.87 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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>Southern Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746637229_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Southern has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Southern'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Southern's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.51%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What Does the Market Think About Southern?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $75.43, after a 2.89% increase. Over the past month, Tapestry Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPR#NYSE">TPR</a>) stock increased by 12.10%, and in the past year, by 86.82%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746637224_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Tapestry P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 42.33 in the Textiles, Apparel &amp; Luxury Goods industry, Tapestry Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 21.31. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746637224_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
