Barclays Maintains Overweight on PTC, Lowers Price Target to $175

Goldman Sachs analyst Lizzie Dove downgraded the outlook for U.S. Lodging C-Corps and Timeshares due to weaker consumer demand, geopolitical uncertainty, and negative impacts from U.S. airlines.
As a result, 2025 RevPAR forecasts are being lowered by approximately 125 basis points. Key challenges include a decline in Canadian tourism and reduced government travel, which are expected to impact U.S. RevPAR negatively.
Although a recession scenario isn't fully factored in, a 45% probability of a U.S. recession is assumed. The focus is on asset-light companies with global exposure and less reliance on U.S. resorts, as the decline in IMF and non-RevPAR fees has yet to be priced in, said the analyst.

In a choppier macro environment, the preference is for stocks with more global diversity, lower U.S. resort exposure, asset-light business models, and stronger prospects for non-RevPAR and ancillary revenues.
Historical context shows that lodging revenue growth has been cyclical, with significant downturns during previous recessions, where business demand impacts leisure travel first, and premium chains see larger RevPAR declines than economy chains, the analyst opined.
Hotel C-Corps have shifted to asset-light, fee-based business models in the past decade, which have shown resilience during downturns, as franchise revenues tend to fare better than owned/leased or timeshare revenues.
Incentive management fees (IMFs) are highly volatile, with U.S. IMF contracts more binary, impacting US properties more than international ones.
While consumer pressures in a downturn could impact credit card fees, supply growth for 2025 is unlikely to be threatened. However, the outlook for 2026 and beyond could face risks due to rising construction costs and economic uncertainty.
The analyst upgraded the shares of Choice Hotels International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHH#NYSE">CHH</a>) from Sell to Buy and lowered the price forecast from $141 to $138.
The upgrade was done due to its defensive position, primarily driven by its franchise revenue structure and strong balance sheet, which makes it more resilient amid economic uncertainty.
CHH is less affected by the current macroeconomic challenges compared to other US lodging companies, with most of its customers originating from the US, and minimal exposure to international tourism, particularly from Canada.
Recent data shows improving trends for CHH, with steady consumer purchase intent and better performance, especially among lower-income customer segments, despite broader concerns about consumer confidence.
The analyst downgraded the shares of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) from Neutral to Sell and lowered the price forecast from $150.00 to $110.00.
Hyatt displays higher macro sensitivity, driven by factors such as a larger share of management contracts, significant exposure to China, and a more limited pipeline for in-construction growth.
Despite Hyatt's shift to a more asset-light model, it remains more exposed to macro-sensitive segments compared to peers, including a higher percentage of managed footprint, IMF fees, and exposure to the Chinese market, said the analyst.
The analyst downgraded Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>) stock from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price forecast from $296 to $235.
The analyst also downgraded the shares of Marriott International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price forecast from $313.00 to $245.00.
Hilton Worldwide and Marriott International are downgraded due to macro volatility and consumer pressures, which are expected to negatively impact macro-sensitive segments like IMF, credit card revenues, and owned &amp; leased properties.
Both companies have strong business models with resilient balance sheets, but their valuations remain high compared to historical cycles (2016-2019), and consensus estimates, especially for IMF and non-RevPAR fees, are considered too optimistic.
Since their inclusion in the Buy list in September 2024, both MAR and HLT stocks have underperformed, with recent negative signals about consumer health and travel impacting their performance relative to the S&amp;P 500.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Go Sideways But This Trader Says You 'Shouldn't Long' One Of Them

When the market throws a delightful little soiree for the bears and headlines scream of doom, gloom and capital destruction, it often feels like it&#8217;s the end of it all.
But odds are the world is not going to end.
It was the same in previous bear markets.
During the 1998 Russian crisis and the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, closed-door meetings at the New York offices of the Federal Reserve were held, in which participants discussed who would pony up enough cash to save the financial system.
Warren Buffett passed. Instead, a bunch of Wall Street and a few French banks stepped up with the necessary cash.
During the Great Financial Crisis, it felt like the financial system&#8217;s implosion was always just seconds away.
In the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the end of the world was the lead story for weeks on end.
In every case, the world survived and stocks recovered.
In each case, this was the winning investment strategy during the bear market.
If the end does come, I suspect none of us will be concerned about our stock portfolio.
I do not recall Charlton Heston asking Cornelius or Zira about the price of IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) or General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) in Planet of the Apes.
Rick Grimes of The Walking Dead never takes a break from killing zombies to call his broker.
If the world survives the tariff war of 2025, we might want to make some of the moves that paid off in the aftermath of prior almost-end-of-the-world events.
One of the best strategies is buying dividends and dividend growth.
Investors who bought stocks like Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) and CapitalOne (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) in early 2009 not only locked in high levels of income, their gains over the next decade were spectacular.
Buying high-yield stocks like Unum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNM#NYSE">UNM</a>), Tanger Outlets (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKT#NYSE">SKT</a>) and Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) in the spring of 2020 has also worked out extraordinarily well for investors who allowed rational thinking to overcome fear.
Unless the world ends, this time should offer the same opportunities to lock in high yields from companies that also offer the potential for outsized long-term gains.
Shares of Pfizer have once again fallen to levels that make the stock a high-yielding opportunity for patient investors.
Pfizer has a diverse drug portfolio and is in a strong position in the vaccine markets. Going forward, they are shedding the off-patent drug business to focus on innovation and newer products.
Pfizer generates massive amounts of free cash flow, which is used to pay down debt, buy back stock and pay dividends.
The company plans to pay out 50% of cash flow as dividends so the payout should continue to grow over time.
Ford Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) is one of the best-positioned auto companies in the current environment and should do very well as the trade war progresses towards a conclusion.
Ford continues to dominate the pickup truck market and I don&#8217;t see that changing anytime soon.
Ford intends to have a presence in the EV market but will not abandon the traditional market anytime soon. The Mustang Mach-E and Lightning F-150 electric vehicles are both selling well and attracting customers who have never considered Ford products before.
Ford has focused on reducing debt and strengthening its balance sheet over the past few years, and this strategy is working.
The company currently has over $25 billion in cash and securities on the books.
The stock is currently yielding over 7% and has excellent long-term appreciation potential from current levels.
UPS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) shares have also fallen to the level where the dividend is attractive. At the current price, the yield is over 7%.
UPS seems like a solid bet, even with some bumps in the road ahead. They&#8217;re the big dog in package delivery, handling way more daily packages than FedEx in the US.

The forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/78cd1c8e-7a7f-463b-9706-be924c3eba10?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has limited value</a>&nbsp;during normal times.
And the metric arguably has even less value during periods of elevated uncertainty.
That's because the E is based on analysts' estimates for the near future. And when the outlook for business is increasingly uncertain and rapidly changing, it&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/c87cda18-f109-461b-a81b-7a452e85bca1?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">can take time for many analysts to adjust that E</a>.
This is especially the case right now as many companies&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/d96ef969-ff73-4121-8748-7a21656e3776?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have not yet factored the impact of tariffs into their guidance</a>, which&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/4294b042-8707-48de-ac31-b3aa112fea7e?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analysts lean on</a>&nbsp;when they establish their earnings forecasts.
"We&#8217;ve been reading earnings call and conference transcripts closely since November across market capitalizations, sectors, and industries and feel fairly confident in saying that U.S. public companies have been very reluctant to discuss tariff impacts (outside of China) until specific details have been provided by the administration, and even then, many still have not given sell-side analysts a lot of specifics to start factoring into their models," RBC's Lori Calvasina&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/fea7c782-7f6f-4f6d-ba2d-ba8b050fb5b6?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote</a>&nbsp;earlier this month.
Assuming tariffs are negative for earnings — which is&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/1fe3cd83-2f30-4138-9127-453f00b15379?j=eyJ1Ijoid252OGYifQ.jVQb6opeiKhMTzCAB2x0eMpa3LqEuHgwpXD1DeTk7x0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">what everyone assumes</a>&nbsp;— this means the E is being distorted higher by stale estimates.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) reported its&nbsp;first-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44760533/jpmorgan-kicks-off-earnings-season-strong-investment-banking-wealth-management-lead-revenue-surge" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarter&nbsp;FY24 results</a>.
Reported revenue&nbsp;rose&nbsp;8%&nbsp;year-on-year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$45.3&nbsp;billion. Net revenue (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/quarterly-earnings/2025/1st-quarter/d88c408a-bbc9-4b06-b263-373f5b10b145.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">managed</a>) was&nbsp;$46.0 billion (+8% Y/Y), beating the&nbsp;consensus of&nbsp;$44.1 billion.

Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, said, "The economy is facing considerable turbulence (including geopolitics), with the potential positives of tax reform and deregulation and the potential negatives of tariffs and "trade wars," ongoing sticky inflation, high fiscal deficits and still rather high asset prices and volatility."
Oppenheimer analyst writes, "We had already haircut our investment banking expectations in our earnings preview to have 2025 roughly flat with 2024."
Oppenheimer says the biggest update to their future forecasts is raising their expected 2026 charge-off rate by 50%. This change is based on the idea that unemployment could rise from around 4% now to about 6% in 2026.
Analyst Chris Kotowski expects wealth and asset management revenues to drop, reflecting recent declines in the stock and bond markets. He's also taking out previous assumptions for loan growth in the second half of 2025 and in 2026.
However, he's keeping net interest income estimates mostly unchanged, believing the Federal Reserve probably won't make major rate cuts.
Analyst Kotowski adds, "Thus, it's not nearly the impact that one might have feared. Of course, there are many other moving parts and a wide range of potential outcomes given the now uncertain state of global trade. We continue to view JPM as a quality core holding in the group but presently still favor BAC, C and USB."
Price Action: JPM stock is down 0.23% at $235.67 at the last check Monday.

The U.S. baking industry is bracing for a major financial hit — up to $454 million in extra costs this year — as a result of new tariffs on goods imported from Canada, Mexico and China, according to the American Bakers Association. This estimate came before the U.S and China revved up their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">retaliatory tariffs</a>.&nbsp;
These tariffs, with a wide range from 10% to 145%, affect essential ingredients, packaging, and equipment that commercial bakers rely on daily.
"American baking manufacturers rely on global supply chains for essential ingredients and equipment," the ABA stated in its March analysis. "Tariffs threaten to drive up costs and strain operations, jeopardizing businesses, workers and consumers."

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where the Money Goes</h2>
The ABA estimates that more than half of all imports used by U.S. bakers come from the three countries now facing new or reinstated tariffs. Bakers imported nearly $1 billion in Canadian goods alone last year, including $193 million in ingredients. A 25% tariff would tack on $244 million in additional costs.
Mexico, another key partner, shipped $679 million worth of baking-related goods to the U.S. in 2024. If the full 25% tariff is applied, the cost to bakers could jump by $170 million. Chinese imports for U.S. bakers totaled $395 million in 2024. With the current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44757476/asia-mixed-europe-slides-as-china-tariff-hike-escalates-tensions-gold-soars-dollar-hits-two-year-low-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">trade war</a>, this number could total nearly $1 billion in 2025.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Businesses Feel the Heat</h2>
While large commercial bakeries might have the resources to absorb some of these additional costs, small family-run businesses are especially vulnerable. One such company is Uncle Jerry's Pretzels, a 30-employee operation in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Co-owner Misty Skolnick told <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/04/09/trump-tariff-small-businesses-pretzels/82792561007/">USA Today</a> that the recent tariffs have forced her to rethink pricing and production strategies.
Skolnick and her father, Jerry, have run the business since 1988. The company already had to discontinue some popular varieties after sesame seed prices spiked. Now, with tariffs driving up the cost of imported chocolate and packaging, Skolnick worries about how long they can maintain product quality without raising prices.
"We're asking ourselves, ‘Can we afford to provide a consistent, high-quality product at a reasonable price for our customers?'" Skolnick told USA Today.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Just Ingredients at Stake</h2>
The baking industry's exposure doesn't end with imports. Retaliatory tariffs from trading partners could also threaten <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44705879/trump-tariffs-push-eu-to-hit-23-billion-in-us-exports-including-orange-juice-poulty-and-steel-from-red-states">U.S. exports</a>. Bakery goods are among the top categories relying on current trade protections under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, according to an analysis by RaboResearch.
Canada alone accounts for three times the U.S. bakery export volume of Mexico, and new barriers could drastically reduce trade. "The impacts of Canadian tariffs would be challenging for US (food and agriculture) as a whole, but could be particularly harmful for produce growers, manufacturers of baked goods and oilseed farmers," the researchers wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead Is Uncertain</h2>
For now, some of the tariffs are paused — notably, the 25% levies on Canadian and Mexican imports that fall under the USMCA. But the possibility of reinstatement looms large.
Skolnick is doing her best to stay calm and adapt. "We try not to panic or react to rumors or hearsay," she said. "Ultimately, we're trying to wait for the facts on the ground before we implement any big changes on our end."
Still, as costs climb and uncertainty lingers, both large and small players in the baking world may need to rethink their recipes for long-term success.

Recipe For Trouble: Tariffs Threaten U.S. Baking Industry With $454M In Extra Costs

WisdomTree renamed its WisdomTree PutWrite Strategy Fund (PUTW) in an effort to more clearly articulate its income capabilities in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">today&#8217;s turbulent markets</a>.
The fund, now known as WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTPI#NYSE">WTPI</a>), has the same underlying strategy.
Launched on April 4, it trades with the net expense ratio at 0.44% and <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250404917068/en/WisdomTree-Announces-Equity-Premium-Income-Fund-WTPI">continues </a>to follow the Volos U.S. Large Cap Target 2.5% PutWrite Index. It employs an options-based approach to generate stable income while shielding investors from downturns in the market.
WTPI is one of the more extensive product offerings in WisdomTree&#8217;s overall product universe, with around 80 ETFs across the U.S. and more than $80 billion in assets under management, according to Etftrends.com.

Unlike conventional equity strategies, WTPI sells put options every other week on the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and invests the proceeds—along with other collateral—in U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bills. The fund aims for a 2.5% premium, harvesting the volatility premium embedded in the options market.
Previously following the CBOE S&amp;P 500 PutWrite Index, PUTW was traditionally more appropriate for low-volatility or flat markets. 
Moving to WTPI—and now its benchmark, the VULPW25 Index—represents a more sophisticated strategy designed to be more sensitive to equity market movement, hence a better income potential in volatile markets.
The name change also follows as investors seek more alternative sources of income with increasingly uncertain macroeconomic signals and limited upside in conventional equities. 
The structure of the fund enables it to take advantage of increased implied volatility, which often results in premium options—a nice proposition when other sources of income are under siege.

</ul>
Truist Securities maintains the Buy rating with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WFC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $84</a>. Analyst John McDonald writes the management is not "locked in" to any one net interest income (NII) outcome, citing recent volatility on the short end of the curve and the overall level of uncertainty in the environment as a driver for its tempered expectations.
The original forecast expected 1–2 rate cuts in 2025, while markets now expect about 3, analyst McDonald adds. It also assumed slightly higher 10-year yields than current levels. However, the CFO said a third Fed rate cut later in the year wouldn't significantly affect the company's 2025 net interest income forecast.
Oppenheimer analyst writes, "We think WFC and all the major banks will generally acquit themselves well in whatever the economic environment throws at them. We think WFC has high potential, but is relatively fairly valued for now, and we prefer BAC, C and USB at the point."
Analyst Chris Kotowski maintains a Perform rating for Wells Fargo.
Piper Sandler analyst says credit costs are a potential wild card for Wells Fargo. While the firm is still confident in the bank's overall risk profile, it expects credit loss provisions to be about $300 million higher per quarter than what was reported in Q1.
That's due to a higher forecast for loan charge-offs (50 basis points vs. 44 in Q1) and some extra cushion for loan growth. Analyst R. Scott Siefers notes this estimate may be cautious, especially since Wells Fargo's current reserves already factor in a 5.8% unemployment rate, but with so much economic uncertainty, a conservative approach feels safer.
Piper maintains the overweight rating with a price target cut from $77 to $75.
Price Action: WFC stock is up 0.88% at $63.06 at the last check Monday.
