Guess Analysts Slash Their Forecasts After Q3 Earnings

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Wednesday</a>.
For the third quarter, the company&#8217;s net sales increased 4.6% compared to the same period in fiscal 2023, total company comparable sales increased 4.0%, and gross merchandise value increased 5.3%.&nbsp;
JP Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss reiterated the Underweight rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $21 from $20.
The analyst notes that despite favorable conditions for Nordstorm&#8217;s core customer base, including high personal savings rates, low debt service ratios, and significant household wealth creation, as well as favorable pricing and promotional factors, the company&#8217;s absolute and relative performance remains disappointing, with 2023 revenue levels and EBIT margins falling below 2019 levels.
JWN opened 12 Rack stores during the quarter, reflecting a 2.2% growth, and has a total of 23 Rack store openings year-to-date, in line with its 2024 guidance of 20-25 openings, with 15 expected in 2025, Boss added.

Survey Shows Only 42% Of Sales Are Authentic</a>
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated Market Perform rating on Nordstrom, raising the price forecast to $26 from $24.
The analyst notes that Nordstrom exceeded earnings expectations in the third quarter, driven by stronger sales, gross margins, and operating expense leverage.
Full-line segment growth was positive for the third consecutive quarter, and momentum at Rack continued.
However, despite this growth, management highlighted a slowdown in sales in late October and November.
As a result, Nordstrom cautiously raised its FY24 revenue growth outlook by 100 basis points, while keeping EBIT margin and EPS guidance unchanged. The company also noted elevated inventory due to slower-moving cold weather categories.
Given these factors, the analyst maintained a Market Perform rating. The analyst raised estimates to $2.00 in FY24, up from $1.95 previously. For FY25, the estimate goes to $2.06, up modestly from the prior estimate of $2.02.
Price Action: JWN shares are trading lower by 9.34% to $22.32 at last check Wednesday.

Former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42206456/trump-administration-to-reportedly-let-cftc-regulate-bitcoin-ethereum-spot-market-is-the-sec-set-to-lose-its-grip-over-crypto">has expressed strong support</a> for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) taking on a larger role in regulating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: "With adequate funding and under the right leadership, I think the CFTC could hit the ground running to begin regulating digital commodities on day one of Donald Trump's presidency," Giancarlo <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-admin-eyes-cftc-lead-digital-asset-regulation">told</a> FOX Business on Tuesday.
He added that the CFTC's lighter regulatory approach, compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">SEC's enforcement-heavy stance</a>, would encourage innovation while protecting market integrity.
The CFTC currently oversees the $20 trillion U.S. derivatives market, which includes futures and options trading. 
However, it lacks clear jurisdiction over cryptocurrency spot markets, where digital assets are bought and sold directly. 
Under the Trump administration's proposal, the CFTC would gain oversight of these markets and the exchanges that facilitate trading, providing long-awaited regulatory clarity for the industry.
Giancarlo, often referred to as "Crypto Dad" for his pro-digital asset stance, has long championed the CFTC's involvement in crypto. 
During his tenure, the agency recognized Bitcoin as a commodity in 2015 and approved Bitcoin futures trading. He believes expanding the CFTC's role would align with the agency's experience in handling complex financial markets. 
"The CFTC has a proven track record in overseeing derivatives markets dominated by sophisticated institutional players," Giancarlo said. 
"We are well-equipped to handle digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum."

Why It Matters: Critics, however, caution that giving the CFTC broader authority could create challenges.
Some fear regulatory spillover into traditional commodities like agriculture and oil, which fall under the purview of other agencies. 
Additionally, the CFTC's $400 million budget and 700-person staff are dwarfed by the SEC's $2.4 billion budget and 5,300 employees, raising concerns about resource constraints. 
Giancarlo acknowledged these concerns but emphasized that additional funding from Congress would be necessary to ensure the agency's effectiveness. 
"We must address funding and staffing challenges if the CFTC is to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving crypto market," he said.
The push for CFTC oversight comes as the crypto industry increasingly criticizes the SEC's regulatory approach under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">outgoing chairman</a> Gary Gensler.
Gensler's tenure has been marked by aggressive enforcement actions, which many in the industry view as stifling innovation.
In contrast, the CFTC is seen as more industry-friendly, with Giancarlo noting, "A pro-innovation agenda is crucial for maintaining U.S. leadership in the global digital asset space."
Giancarlo is also being considered for a new role as "crypto czar" in the Trump administration, where he could oversee cryptocurrency policy and potentially establish <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42114875/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-stands-out-as-candidate-for-donald-trumps-reported-crypto-czar-position-cardano-co-founder-says">an industry advisory council</a>.

'Crypto Dad' Chris Giancarlo Advocates For Passing Crypto Regulation From The SEC To Another Commission — Here's Why

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading higher. The company announced plans to cease all activities of its energy storage division and reduce its workforce by about 500 employees. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42215870">need to know</a>.
What To Know: In a new press release Wednesday, SolarEdge stated it was shutting down its energy storage division to prioritize its solar operations. The move will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 500 employees, largely located in South Korea.
The closure is expected to result in quarterly operating expense savings of approximately $7.5 million, with full savings anticipated to be realized by the second half of 2025. In addition, the company plans to sell assets related to its storage division, including manufacturing facilities for battery cells and packs.
&#8220;The decision to close our Energy Storage division was the result of a thoughtful analysis of our portfolio of businesses and product lines, industry trends, and the competitive environment,&#8221; said interim CEO Ronen Faier.
&#8220;The measures also represent continued execution of two of our main priorities: financial stability through cost reduction, return to cash flow positivity and profitability; and focus on our core business lines of solar, PV-attached storage and energy management capabilities. I wish to thank our Energy Storage division employees for all of their efforts in building this business.&#8221;

Nutanix Analysts Boost Their Forecasts After Upbeat Earnings

Global markets faced turbulence by midday Wednesday as an unwinding of yen-dollar carry trades drove sharp losses in U.S. equities, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 falling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">1.2% in intraday trading.</a>
Rising expectations that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates in December pushed the dollar-yen pair down by 1.5%, marking its steepest drop since late September. This triggered a wave of &#8220;risk-off&#8221; sentiment, pressuring major indices.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.5% by midday, on track to snap a seven-day winning streak, while small caps in the Russell 2000 remained relatively steady. Treasury yields fell significantly as fresh economic data failed to stoke concerns about an imminent change in the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.
The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized 2.8% in the third quarter, according to a second estimate that matched earlier print. October's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, also came in line with forecasts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42220106/dollar-treasury-yields-stocks-fall-in-tandem-after-october-inflation-uptick">showing a modest uptick.</a>
Traders continue to bet on easier monetary policy, with Fed funds futures pricing in a 70% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Dec. 18 meeting.
In commodities market, gold inched up by 0.2%, while oil prices fell by 1% to $68 a barrel, heading for a three-day decline. Natural gas plummeted 7%, amid less cold weather forecasts reducing the outlook for heating demand.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies reversed their recent losing streak. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied nearly 5% to above $96,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged more than 7%, hitting price levels last seen in late June 2024.

Stocks Fall, Yen Eyes Best Day In 2 Months, Bitcoin Rebounds Above $96,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Las Vegas Sands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) short percent of float has risen 20.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 21.04 million shares sold short, which is 5.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.18 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/">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>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.

Contracts

GRFS

Grifols Held An Extraordinary Meeting This Afternoon, During Which The Content Of A Letter Sent By Brookfield Capital Partners To The Transaction Committee Of The Board Of Directors Was Reviewed, Saying Under The Current Circumstances, Brookfield Is Not In A Position To Proceed With A Potential Offer For Grifols; Board Agrees That It Is Not Feasible For The Transaction To Move Forward

On November 19 this year, C3.ai Inc. ($AI) stock got a massive boost as the company formed a strategic alliance with Microsoft ($MSFT) to increase the adoption of AI. The response was fast and furious, with AI gaining +26% on the day and +50% over the next 5 sessions hitting a peak just shy of $40. However, the bullish hue has soured a bit pulling back the last 3 sessions and dropping 10%.
We're going to examine whether the bull run is over and how to trade it using our PFP system (positioning, flows and price action).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Options Positioning in $AI</h2>
Looking at the options positioning in the ticker, our proprietary apps tell me we have about 25% of the notional gamma coming off the board this Friday and another large chunk for the December options expiration (op-ex). With three out of every five options being a call, we have to assume there are more calls coming off the board than puts.
This leaves the stock weakening in the short term, and so this current pullback seems warranted.
However, the topping around $40 seems natural from a positioning standpoint as this is the TCS (top call strike), so I suspect profit taking and the culling of long calls is the main culprit behind this pullback.
The TGS (top gamma strike) is at $35, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock start to stick around the $35 strike to end the week. As long as we hold $30, we retain a bullish hue on the stock and will look to buy dips. Thus, positioning wise, I'm still bullish and looking to buy, despite the 10% pullback targeting $40/41 for the December op-ex.
Only on a daily close under $30 would I shift to bearish.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price Action in $AI</h2>
In alignment with the positioning, if we look at the chart below, we can see there are three impulsive moves in response to the partnership news with Microsoft showing a high imbalance with the bulls.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05-1024x502.png" alt="" class="wp-image-668034" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05-1024x502.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05-300x147.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05-768x377.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05-1536x753.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/27133929/AI_2024-11-27_10-36-05.png 1835w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
1-hour $AI chart
The pullback over the last three sessions has been ‘corrective' which suggests a low imbalance of put buying and/or call selling. This means the overall price action is communicating the flows are still more likely to be bullish if they come in with size/verve.
Hence, the overall price action is still leaning bullish.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flows in $AI</h2>
While the flows on the day are a mild amount of call selling and an even milder amount of put buying, these notional deltas are nowhere near pushing ‘impulsive/aggressive', thus overall the flows (while mildly bearish in the last 3 sessions), we suspect this is part holidays and part profit taking with no aggression to the downside.
Until I see real verve in the selling/put buying, the overall flows are leaning bullish over a medium term, thus we're retaining a bullish contour on the stock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How We're Trading $AI</h2>
We're looking to buy dips in $AI targeting $40 for the Dec op-ex and perhaps $45 for the Jan op-ex. In terms of where we are buying $AI, that will depend upon the PFP, but I'll consider the TGS or TPS/BBP to get long.

Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Gets FDA Approval Of Acetadote, An Antidote To Prevent Or Lessen Hepatic Injury From Acetaminophen Overdose, For Pediatric Patients

HP Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) stock traded lower Wednesday after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42203410/hp-stock-drops-after-q4-results-weak-forward-guidance-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal fourth-quarter</a> financial results and issued fiscal first-quarter adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.
On Tuesday, HP reported revenue of $14.05 billion (versus $13.82 billion a year ago), which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $13.99 billion. The EPS of $0.93 was in line with the analyst consensus estimate.

HP expects first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.70 &#8211; $0.76, versus the $0.85 estimate, and fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS of $3.45 &#8211; $3.75, versus the $3.60 estimate.
Multiple Wall Street analysts rerated the stock after the quarterly print.
JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained an Overweight rating on HP with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HPQ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $40, down from $41</a>.
Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng reiterated a Neutral rating on HP with a price target of $38, up from $35.
JP Morgan: Analyst Chatterjee highlights HP&#8217;s near-term challenges and opportunities in the personal systems (PS) and print segments. Despite known headwinds in the PC market, HP faces additional pressure from competitive pricing as it tries to offset higher memory costs. The company remains optimistic about a mid-single-digit recovery in PC units and increased adoption of AI PCs by enterprise customers in fiscal year 2025, supported by pent-up demand and Windows 11 refresh cycles.
The print segment performed well, generating $4.5 billion, surpassing expectations, while PS revenue came in at $9.6 billion, slightly below consensus. Operating margins were 8.5%, impacted by higher commodity costs and strategic investments.
For fiscal 2025, HP projects full-year revenue growth driven by mid-single-digit increases in PC units and seasonal recovery. However, first-quarter EPS guidance of $0.70 &#8211; $0.76 falls below consensus, reflecting margin pressures and the need for a significant recovery in PC volumes to meet annual targets.
HP&#8217;s print margins improved to 19.6% in the fourth quarter, exceeding internal and external forecasts. Due to cost discipline, the company anticipates print operating margins will remain at the higher end of the 16% &#8211; 19% range in fiscal 2025. Meanwhile, PS margins are expected to climb to the upper half of 5% &#8211; 7%, aided by improved pricing strategies and volume leverage.
Enterprise PC replacement cycles, supported by Windows 10&#8217;s end-of-life in 2025, and increased AI PC adoption are long-term growth drivers. HP&#8217;s supply chain resilience positions it to navigate potential tariff escalations better than peers, ensuring smoother operations.
Chatterjee maintains an Overweight rating on HP, emphasizing medium-term positioning in PS as a key growth driver. Stabilizing gross margins and operating efficiencies are expected to mitigate some margin pressures. The analyst slightly lowered the December 2025 price target, valuing fiscal 2026 EPS at 10x P/E, aligning with historical averages.
HP&#8217;s ability to recover in the PC market and capitalize on enterprise adoption of AI PCs remains critical to achieving long-term targets. While near-term pressures exist, structural improvements in the print and PS segments are expected to provide resilience.
Chatterjee projects first-quarter revenue of $13.47 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.75.
Goldman Sachs: HP delivered fiscal fourth-quarter 2024 EPS of $0.93, aligning with Goldman Sachs (GS) and consensus estimates. Print segment performance offset a modest miss in the Personal Systems (PS) division. Print revenue grew for the first time since fiscal fourth-quarter 2021, increasing 1% to $4.5 billion, surpassing GS and consensus projections of $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. This growth stemmed from solid supplies and industrial graphics sales, although pricing pressures persisted.
Print margins reached 19.6%, exceeding guidance and analyst expectations ((GS: 18.5%, XHKG:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/18#XHKG">18</a>), reflecting a favorable business mix and cost efficiencies. HP expects Print revenue to decline to low single digits (LSD%) in fiscal 2025, aligning with broader market trends, while supply revenue is projected to drop LSD to mid-single digits (MSD%).
In contrast, PS revenue fell to $9.6 billion, missing GS and consensus estimates of $9.8 billion. While consumer PS revenue declined 4%, commercial PS revenue grew 5%, with unit volumes increasing 4%. HP anticipates mid-single-digit (MSD%) growth in the PS segment for fiscal 2025, driven by factors such as Windows 10 end-of-life, a refreshed PC installed base, and the rise of AI PCs, which are expected to comprise 20% of shipments.
HP anticipates more robust performance in the second half of fiscal 2025 as PC demand accelerates, supported by the commercial segment, premium consumer systems, and AI PCs. Commodity cost pressures impacting PS margins are expected to subside in the latter half of the fiscal year, aided by cost reductions and pricing strategies.
Ng remains neutral on HP, raising the 12-month price target based on a 10x P/E multiple. The revised valuation reflects HP&#8217;s market share gains in commercial and premium PC segments. Ng projects first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.75.
Price Action: HPQ stock is down 12.5% at $34.22 at last check Wednesday.

<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.
