The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up higher on Friday, setting a new record after a strong week, driven by the Federal Reserve&#39;s first rate cut in four years. The Dow rose by 38.16 points, or 0.09%, to close at 42,063.36. In contrast, the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.19% to 5,702.55, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.36% to finish at 17,948.32. This movement came after a midweek rally, during which the Dow surpassed the 42,000 mark and the S&amp;P 500 hit a key milestone above 5,700. Despite Friday&#39;s slight pullbacks, all three major indexes posted weekly gains.
The Fed&#39;s decision to lower interest rates by 50 basis points spurred a buying spree on Thursday. However, markets steadied on Friday as investors stepped back from the prior day&#39;s surge. Going forward, the market will engage with a blend of economic indicators, including key releases, political developments and corporate earnings reports, all of which could trigger volatility. In this environment, value stocks stand out as a compelling investment option. Typically trading below their intrinsic value, these stocks offer a margin of safety during market fluctuations.
When evaluating value stocks, one of the most effective valuation metrics is the Price to Cash Flow (P/CF) ratio. This metric measures the market price of a stock relative to the cash flow the company generates on a per-share basis. A lower P/CF ratio indicates that the stock is trading at a better value, offering strong cash generation potential relative to its price. Here are four companies &mdash; Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uhs#NYSE">UHS</a>), Carriage Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csv#NYSE">CSV</a>), AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axs#NYSE">AXS</a>) and EnerSys (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ens#NYSE">ENS</a>) &mdash; that boast low P/CF ratios, making them strong contenders for value-seeking investors.
<h2>Price to Cash Flow Ratio Reveals Financial Health</h2>
Questions may arise as to why we are considering the P/CF valuation metric when the most widely used metric is Price/Earnings (or P/E). Well, what makes P/CF stand out is that operating cash flow adds back non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization to net income, truly reflecting the financial health of a company.
Analysts caution that a company&#39;s earnings are subject to accounting estimates and management manipulation. However, cash flow is reliable. It is net cash flow that reveals how much money a company is actually generating and how effectively management is putting the same to use.
A positive cash flow indicates an increase in the company&#39;s liquid assets. This gives the company the means to settle debt, shell out for its expenses, reinvest in its business, endure downturns, and finally pay back its shareholders. Then again, a negative cash flow implies a decline in the company&#39;s liquidity, which in turn lowers its flexibility to support these moves.
<h2>What&#39;s the Best Value Investing Strategy?</h2>
An investment decision solely based on the P/CF metric may not fetch the desired results. To identify stocks that are trading at a discount, you should expand your search criteria and also consider the price-to-book ratio, price-to-earnings ratio, and price-to-sales ratio. Adding a favorable Zacks Rank and a Value Score of A or B to your search criteria should lead to even better results as these eliminate the chance of falling into a value trap.
Here are the parameters for selecting true-value stocks:
P/CF less than or equal to X-Industry Median.
Price greater than or equal to 5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5 or higher.
Average 20-Day Volume greater than 100,000: A substantial trading volume ensures that the stock is easily tradable.
P/E using (F1) less than or equal to X-Industry Median: This parameter shortlists stocks that are trading at a discount or are equal to their peers.
P/B less than or equal to X-Industry Median: A lower P/B compared with the industry average implies that there is enough room for the stock to gain.
P/S less than or equal to X-Industry Median: The P/S ratio determines how a stock price compares to the company&#39;s sales &mdash; the lower the ratio, the more attractive the stock is.
PEG less than 1: The ratio is used to determine a stock&#39;s value by taking the company&#39;s earnings growth into account. The PEG ratio portrays a more complete picture than the P/E ratio. A value of less than 1 indicates that the stock is undervalued and that investors need to pay less for a stock that has robust earnings growth prospects.
Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2: Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks are known to outperform irrespective of the market environment.
Value Score of less than or equal to B: Our research shows that stocks with a Style Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2, offer the best upside potential.
Here are four of the 11 low P/CF stocks that qualified the screening:
Universal Health Services, one of the nation&#39;s largest hospital companies, operating through its subsidiaries, acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities and ambulatory centers, sports a Zacks Rank #1. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 14.6%, on average.

Carriage Services, a leading provider of funeral and cemetery services and merchandise in the United States, carries a Zacks Rank #1. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 17%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Carriage Services&#39; current financial year sales and EPS suggests growth of 3.7% and 6.9%, respectively, from the year-ago period. CSV has a Value Score of B. Shares of CSV have risen 11.5% in the past year.
AXIS Capital Holdings, a global specialty underwriter and provider of insurance and reinsurance solutions, sports a Zacks Rank #1. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 94.6%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AXIS Capital&#39;s current financial year sales and EPS suggests growth of 7.2% and 8.7%, respectively, from the year-ago period. AXS has a Value Score of A. Shares of AXS have advanced 34.4% in the past year.
EnerSys, the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, carries a Zacks Rank #2. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 1.5%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EnerSys&#39; current financial year sales and EPS suggests growth of 4.7% and 7.1%, respectively, from the year-ago period. ENS has a Value Score of A. Shares of ENS have increased 6.3% in the past year.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/emr#NYSE">EMR</a>) recently divested the remaining 40% common equity ownership in Copeland to Blackstone Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bx#NYSE">BX</a>). The transaction was valued at approximately $3.5 billion, with pre-tax cash proceeds of $3.4 billion.
Headquartered in New York, Blackstone Inc. is an asset manager of alternative investments and a provider of financial advisory services globally. Effective Sep 18, 2023, the company joined the S&amp;P 500 index, becoming the first major alternative asset manager to be part of the index. As of Mar 31, 2024, total AUM was $1.06 trillion and fee-earning AUM was $781.4 billion.
Based in the United States, Copeland is an independent company, which offers a diverse range of products, including compressors, controls, thermostats, valves and software solutions. These products serve residential, commercial and industrial customers around the globe.
The divestment of Copeland will help Emerson to focus on its core businesses and to strengthen its position as a global leader in automation. The company expects to use the cash proceeds of $2.9 billion of the transaction, net of modest taxes, to reduce its debt.
Emerson has lately been aiming to divest non-core/non-profitable businesses to better focus on and efficiently direct resources to its core businesses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the company exited its Russia business operations. Also, in November 2022, it divested its InSinkErator business to Whirlpool.
<h3>Existing Business Scenario</h3>
Emerson has been experiencing healthy demand across most of its end markets. Solid demand in the process and hybrid industries is boosting underlying sales. The company anticipates sales in the process industry to be robust in fiscal 2024, driven by strength in energy, LNG, chemical and power end markets. Also, solid life sciences project momentum in North America and robust metals and mining activity bode well for the hybrid industry.
The company is benefiting from the strong performance of the Intelligent Devices and Software and Control segments. Within the Intelligent Devices segment, it is seeing strength in the Final Control business, driven by solid momentum in energy and power end markets. Robust growth in all geographies and strong backlog conversion level are aiding the Measurement &amp; Analytical business.
Within the Software and Control segment, strength in the process industry, driven by energy transition and traditional energy markets, is supporting the Control Systems &amp; Software business. Strength in aerospace and defense end markets, driven by rising U.S. defense budget and increasing government research, is supporting the Test &amp; Measurement business&#39;s growth.
However, Emerson has been dealing with the adverse impacts of the high cost of sales and operating expenses. Rising material and freight costs are pushing up the cost of sales, which increased 7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 29.6% to $1.3 billion due to increased acquisition-related and stock compensation expenses. The impact of these expenditures is evident in the rise of the selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues, which climbed 300 basis points to reach 29.6%.
Emerson offers a wide range of products and services to customers in consumer, commercial and industrial markets. The company, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing-Electronic industry, faces stiff competition from competitors like Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/powl#NASDAQ">POWL</a>) and EnerSys (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ens#NYSE">ENS</a>).

The Motive Power segment generated net sales of $366.2 million (accounting for 43% of total sales), up 4% year over year. The consensus estimate for segmental net sales was $366 million.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2025 Outlook
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, EnerSys expects:

<li>Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.05 to $2.15&#x2A;</li>

<li>Capital expenditures in the range of $100M to $120M</li>

"We remain optimistic about our fiscal year 2025 financial targets. As a result, we are increasing the mid-point of our full year fiscal 2025 revenue guidance by $60 million and our full year fiscal 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance by $0.25 per share to include the incremental benefits of our acquisition of Bren-Tronics on top of the base business expectations that were in our previous guidance. While we are seeing encouraging demand trends in the majority of our end markets, we are managing our business prudently to navigate the spending pauses in the Class 8 truck OEM and Communications markets. We believe inventory de-stocking is complete and the deferred spending that is occurring is unsustainable to maintain network resiliency, resulting in pent-up demand that will materialize later this year. In the second quarter, we expect a modest sequential improvement in North America Communications spending in Energy Systems, modest Transportation aftermarket volume growth in Specialty, and incremental revenue from Bren-Tronics. We also expect to see continued cost improvements and benefits from operational efficiencies flowing through to our bottom line. The global concern over energy scarcity will persist as major trends drive a swift rise in the demand for reliable power. As a key provider of energy systems and storage solutions, EnerSys is well-positioned to take advantage of this growth opportunity. We remain focused on delivering long-term value to our stockholders," said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer.

Best Growth Stocks to Buy for July 1st

The U.S. manufacturing sector is finally showing signs of recovery after months of struggle that saw demand slowing due to inflationary pressures and higher borrowing costs. However, with inflation finally showing signs of cooling, demand is rebounding.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported that orders for U.S. manufactured capital goods, made to last more than three years, rose 0.1% in May, higher than the consensus estimate of a decline of 0.1%.
Although the rise was lower than April&#39;s jump of 0.6%, the positive sign is that orders are growing steadily. Durable goods orders for items such as toasters to aircraft rose 0.1% in May after a downwardly revised 0.2% gain in April.
The report comes days after the Federal Reserve said that production at U.S. factories rose at a robust pace in May. According to the report, manufacturing output jumped 0.9% in May from a downwardly revised 0.4% decline in April. Year over year, production at U.S. factories increased 0.1% in May.
Inflation has been a major threat to the manufacturing sector. The consumer price index remained unchanged in May after increasing 0.3% in April. Year over year, CPI rose 3.3%, lower than the consensus estimate of a rise of 3.4%.
Although inflation remains higher than the Federal Reserve&#39;s 2% target, it has finally started easing after increasing in the first quarter.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said in his June post-FOMC meeting statement that the Fed sees only one rate cut this year, which is lower than the three projected in its March meeting.
However, even a minor 0.25% rate cut is being seen positively, especially considering that a large number of market participants had previously anticipated no rate cuts in 2024.
Moreover, the recent FOMC &quot;dot plot&quot; suggests a projected total reduction of 1% in interest rates by 2025. This outlook indicates that the Fed funds rate is expected to decrease to 4.1% by the end of 2025, which bodes well for the manufacturing sector and the broader economy.

5 Stocks to Buy on a Steady Rebound in Manufacturing Activity

EnerSys (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ens#NYSE">ENS</a>) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for EnerSys basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That&#39;s partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for EnerSys imply an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for EnerSys
This maker of industrial batteries is expected to earn $8.74 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2025, which represents a year-over-year change of 4.7%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for EnerSys. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.4%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of EnerSys to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.
