Jim Cramer Says AES Is 'Very Inexpensive', Recommends Buying This Industrial Stock

Travel over the Labor Day holiday has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40653618/labor-day-weekend-with-a-billionaire-did-benzinga-readers-pick-musk-branson-cuban-gates-or-bezo">picked up significantly</a> from a year ago, data revealed.
Domestic travel is up 9% from the same period last year as American Automobile Association (AAA) booking data shows a 30% jump in trips to Seattle, partly because Seattle is a major port city for cruises to Alaska.
"This is a great time of year to take a cruise to Alaska. Crowds are smaller than earlier in the summer, the weather is still decent, although chillier than in July and August, and you may even see some fall colors," said Doreen Loofburrow, senior vice president of travel at AAA Oregon/Idaho.
Gas prices over Labor Day are averaging $3.35 a gallon nationwide, down from an average of $3.81 a gallon during the same period in 2023, according to AAA.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said it plans to screen more than 17 million people at airports during what is expected to be the busiest Labor Day travel period on record from Aug. 29 into Sept. 4. TSA expects to screen 2.86 million travelers on the busiest day of Aug. 30.
The TSA said this summer&#8217;s air travel volumes have been the highest it has seen in its history, and it expects passenger volumes to be 8.5% higher than last year during this time. 
&#8220;People are traveling more than ever this summer and TSA along with our airline and airport partners stand ready to close the busiest summer travel period on record during this upcoming Labor Day weekend," said TSA Administrator David Pekoske. 
Price Action: Rental car companies, airlines and cruise providers gave varied performances on Wall Street into Friday&#8217;s early-afternoon trading as the busy travel period was underway.

Hertz Global shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q2 financial results.

Markets experienced a sharp downturn, driven by heightened geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties that negatively impacted investor risk sentiment, just a day after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting signaled a potential interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/40080168/jerome-powell-finally-concedes-rate-cut-could-be-on-the-table-in-september-stocks-gold-rise-dollar">rate cut in September.</a>
U.S. economic data released Thursday revealed a larger-than-expected rise in weekly jobless claims and a more pronounced contraction in manufacturing activity for July. 
Initial unemployment claims increased to 249,000, up from 235,000 the previous week, marking the highest level in nearly a year. The ISM manufacturing PMI dropped to 46.8% in July, extending its contraction for the fourth consecutive month and reaching its lowest point since December 2023.
In geopolitical developments, Israel announced the elimination of Hamas&#8217; military leader Mohammed Deif in a Gaza strike last month. This event followed the assassination of another top Hamas official in Tehran and the killing of Hezbollah&#8217;s commander in Beirut. Iranian officials are considering retaliatory measures against Israel, which has vowed to respond to any threats with force.
Amid rising risk aversion, Wall Street abruptly reversed prior session gains. The S&amp;P 500 Index declined by about 1% in midday trading in New York, while the Nasdaq 100 fell by 1.5% due to another wave of semiconductor selloffs driven by disappointing corporate earnings reports.
The economically-sensitive Russell 2000 index plummeted over 3%, heading for its worst session since April.
Safe-haven assets gained traction, with both the U.S. dollar and Treasuries seeing increased demand. The U.S. dollar index (DXY), tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), rose 0.3%, while long-term Treasuries, as represented by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), surged 0.7%.
Oil prices declined by 1.5% after a 4.4% surge the previous day, as investors focused on demand concerns amid weakening economic indicators. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell by 2.6%, trading at $62,900.

US Stocks Tumble On Economic, Geopolitical Concerns; Small Caps, Chipmakers Sink; Meta Rallies: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) reported second-quarter financial results before the market open on Thursday. Here&#8217;s a look at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40097443/hertz-reports-second-quarter-2024-results"> key metrics from the quarter</a>.
What Happened: Hertz reported second-quarter revenue of $2.4 billion, missing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">consensus estimate</a> of $2.46 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported an adjusted earnings loss of $1.44 per share, missing analyst estimates for a loss of 90 cents per share. 
Operating cash flow was&nbsp;$546 million in the quarter. The company said it generated adjusted free cash flow of $553 million. 
Corporate liquidity was $1.8 billion as of June 30 after the company raised $1 billion during the quarter to bolster liquidity and de-risk its fleet refresh.
&#8220;We&#8217;re moving quickly with a best-in-class leadership team, a strategy laser-focused on delivering sustainable returns and elevating our operational performance across the business,&#8221; said&nbsp;Gil West, CEO of Hertz.
&#8220;We are at an exciting inflection point in our path to generate greater value for our customers, employees and shareholders – and I am more confident than ever in our plan, our team and the road ahead.&#8221;
Adjusted corporate EBITDA was negative&nbsp;$460 million&nbsp;in the quarter compared with positive adjusted corporate EBITDA of&nbsp;$347 million&nbsp;in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due mainly to increased vehicle depreciation. Hertz said vehicle depreciation increased&nbsp;$706 million&nbsp;compared to the prior year&#8217;s quarter, primarily due to a decline in future and current residual values.
Hertz noted that it expects to substantially complete its fleet refresh by the end of 2025.
A conference call to discuss these results kicked off at 9 a.m. ET.

After Wednesday&#8217;s tech-led rebound amid the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate decision, the stock market could be in for further gains. The major index futures point to a higher opening, although suggesting a slowdown in the upward momentum is in the cards. Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/40080168/jerome-powell-finally-concedes-rate-cut-could-be-on-the-table-in-september-stocks-gold-rise-dollar">Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s non-committal stance, </a>the market has begun discounting a September rate cut. This is evident from the extended pullback in bond yields and the rally in dollar-denominated commodities. The imminent release of the July non-farm payrolls report could introduce some caution.
The market could receive support from positive reactions to Meta Platforms, Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) earnings even as it may choose to remain on &#8220;wait-and-watch&#8221; mode ahead of another batch of mega-cap tech earnings from the likes of Amazon, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).

In premarket trading on Thursday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) moved up 0.31% to $547.16, and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 0.48% to $473.35, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks closed Wednesday&#8217;s session higher, with the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rising solidly amid positive reaction to tech earnings. The Dow Jones Industrials Averages saw some moments of anxiety but stayed mostly in the green before closing modestly higher. All three averages experienced some degree of volatility amid the Fed decision, rising sharply following the release of the post-meeting policy statement. They gave back much of these gains after Powell&#8217;s presser and yet closed firmly in the green.
As expected, the central bank used the July meeting to prepare the markets for a September rate cut, said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. The rate-setting committee noted a slowdown in the labor market and said Inflation continued to move into better balance.
Weighing in on Powell&#8217;s press conference, &nbsp;Chris Zaccarelli, Chief Investment Officer at Independent Advisor Alliance, said the chairman tried to strike a neutral tone. Powell explained &#8220;why today was too soon to cut rates, but effectively said that his base case was for a 25 bps rate cut even while leaving open the possibility that they may be forced to wait again (e.g. zero cuts) or even that they would move even more quickly (e.g. several cuts),&#8221; he said.
IT stocks rallied strong and hard, while communication services, consumer discretionary, industrial, material and utility stocks also gained ground.

Insights From Analysts:
Monica Guerra, Head of Policy, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, said analysis of several key economic indicators suggests the Republican candidate may still have an edge in the November election. &#8220;Recent economic cooling may be a disadvantage for Democrats, with slower annualized first-quarter GDP growth of 1.3%, down from 3.4% in 2023's fourth quarter, corresponding to a 1.4% drop in the president's approval rating this year,&#8221; she said.
Still elevated prices and interest rates, which will likely remain high by historical standards even after the Fed cut rates, may not bode well for the Democratic nominee, she added
Guerra said the performances of different equity sectors also point to a Republican win. She noted that her team experimented with two equity baskets each containing 12 sectors and industry ETFs that could benefit from a Democratic or Republican win. &#8220;So far this year, the Republican basket (which includes sectors such as Energy, Materials, Utilities and Real Estate) has outperformed by 9% the Democratic basket (including solar energy, tech and infrastructure stocks). This suggests growing investor confidence in a GOP victory,&#8221; she said.
Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The Labor Department is due to release the weekly jobless claims report at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits to come in at 235,000 in the week ended July 27, flat with the number for the previous reporting week.</li>
<li>The S&amp;P Global will release the final July manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index at 9:45 a.m. EDT. Flash reading released in July showed a reading of 49.5, suggesting contracting activity, down from 51.6 in June.</li>
<li>The Institute for Supply Management is due to release the results of its national manufacturing survey at 10 a.m. EDT. The manufacturing PMI for July is expected at 48.9, slightly up from 48.5 in June.</li>
<li>The Commerce Department&#8217;s construction spending report, due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to show a 0.2% month-over-month increase following a 0.1% drop in May.</li>
<li>The Treasury will auction four- and eight-week bills at 11:30 a.m. EDT.</li>

Wall Street Looks To Ride On Earnings Cheer As Meta Q2 Impresses Investors: Analyst Says Economic Data, Stock Performances Suggest Republican Win In November

The earnings reports of last week were a mixed bag, with some Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>), among companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39918390/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-robotaxi-update-2024-growth-rate-to-be-notably-l">disappointing to the downside</a>. As the focus shifts to the unfolding week, more tech companies are lined up to disclose their quarterly results, potentially offering cues regarding the health of the sector.
The Week That Was: Most on Wall Street viewed Tesla&#8217;s earnings as lacking quality because a significant portion of them came from one-time regulatory credits. On the other hand, Google-parent Alphabet alienated investors by flagging higher capex that will likely weigh down on margins and in turn the bottom line.
Franco-Italian chipmaker, which is a key supplier to the automotive market, cut its full-year guidance. But not all tech tidings were received with pessimism. International Business Machines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) rose as investors cheered the company&#8217;s strong artificial intelligence bookings. 
Healthy Trend: Data from financial data analytics company FactSet <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_072624C.pdf">showed</a> that about 14% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported their quarterly results so far. The percentage of S&amp;P 500 names that reported upside earnings surprise is 80%, above the one-year average (78%), five-year average (77%), and 10-year average (74%). But the percentage of upside was sub-part at 5.5%, below the one-year average (+6.5%), five-year average (+8.6%), and 10-year average (+6.8%).
The blended earnings of S&amp;P 500 companies are expected to grow by 9.7%, the fastest pace since the fourth quarter of 2021. Eight of the 11 S&amp;P 500 companies are on track to report year-over-year earnings growth for the June quarter, with communication Services, healthcare, IT, and financials likely reporting double-digit growth.
On the other hand, the materials space is expected to witness the steepest earnings decline.

After last week&#8217;s brutal tech sell-off, a bullish analyst is optimistic concerning the the sector, its prospects and the stock trajectory. &#8220;We believe the tech sell-off seen last week will be short-lived as the Street better digests results and commentary from the broader tech sector over the coming weeks during 2Q earnings season,&#8221; Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives said in a note published Sunday.

When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

JP Morgan Maintains Neutral on Hertz Global Holdings, Lowers Price Target to $6

Rental car companies are not as energized as they used to be about electric vehicles (EVs), having found out that they are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/07/39645442/a-glimpse-into-the-expert-outlook-on-hertz-global-holdings-through-6-analysts">hard to resell</a> at a decent price.
In January, rental car giant Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) scaled back plans to buy 100,000 EVs after seeing that their resale plummeted much faster than expected, the New York Times<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/business/electric-vehicles-rental-cars.html?partner=slack&amp;smid=sl-share"> reported.</a> 
A main reason why used EVs lose so much value is because Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lowered the prices on new models last year to boost sales, the New York Times reported.
This has left many rental car outfits scrambling to resell EVs at deep discounts and apprehensive to start buying more of them.
EV manufacturers have sold 1.4% of their cars and trucks to rental companies so far this year, down from selling 4% of them in 2023, according to S&amp;P Global Mobility. So far this year, that number is just 1.4 percent.

Rental car companies have also had a difficult time renting EVs at a profit because most of them lack charging stations and insurance premiums have increased as many renters have underestimated EVs&#8217; acceleration and gotten into accidents, the New York Times reported.
Meanwhile, some companies found they couldn't get spare parts for EVs as quickly as they could for gasoline cars.
