After all, some 4% of global trade passes through the canal, with more than 70% of that traffic bound for or coming from the U.S., <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-panama-canal-development-what-it-means-7c5dc870">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.
What Happened: On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino that Washington will &#8220;take measures necessary&#8221; if Panama does not immediately take steps to put an end to what Trump&nbsp;considers China&#8217;s influence and control over the Panama Canal.
Following the talks with Rubio, who is on a tour of Central America, Mulino signaled he would review agreements involving China and Chinese businesses. Since Trump took office, he has reiterated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">threat to forcibly retake the Panama Canal</a>, which generates some $2.5 billion in annual revenue for Panama.
As a critical conduit for international maritime trade, any changes to its operations could naturally affect companies involved in shipping, logistics and transportation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Which Companies Might Be Affected? Quite A Few</h1>
Let's start with the shipping-owning company SFL Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFL#NYSE">SFL</a>), which is engaged in the ownership and operation of vessels and offshore-related assets. There are two others that could see changes: Costamare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>), which owns and charters container ships, and Navios Maritime Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMPGY#NYSE">NMPGY</a>), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels.
Next, we have the railway companies that provide freight services across the U.S. These include CSX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>), Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and the Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>).
Now let's look at the ETFs that focus on all of the above — shipping, air freight and the courier industries.
U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>), Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>) provides exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures and SPRD S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>), which represents the transportation segment of the S&amp;P Total Market Index ("S&amp;P TMI") designed to&nbsp;track the broad U.S. equity market.

Costamare Q2 2024 Adj. EPS $0.77 Beats $0.71 Estimate, Sales $477.483M Beat $316.489M Estimate

Costamare (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmre#NYSE">CMRE</a>) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2024 results on Jul 31, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter&#39;s earnings and revenues is pegged at 72 cents per share and $380.41 million, respectively.
The earnings estimate for the to-be-reported quarter has declined 6.5% over the past 60 days. The bottom-line projection indicates year-over-year growth of 28.6%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues suggests a year-over-year increase of 3.5%.

Earnings Whispers for Q2
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Costamare this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That&#39;s not the case here.
CMRE has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3.
<h3>Factors Likely to Shape CMRE&#39;s Q2 Results</h3>
We expect CMRE&#39;s second-quarter bottom-line performance to have been affected by higher vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased average number of vessels in its fleet. High fuel costs are likely to have shot up total expenses.
With the normalization of economic activities, world trade has gathered pace, which is a positive for shipping stocks like Costamare. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting a high proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Bullishness surrounding the containership market is a tailwind for Costamare. A ramp-up of manufacturing activities in Asia aids the containership market besides other factors. Favorable market conditions in the dry bulk sector are also likely to have aided CMRE&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Factors like a build-up of iron ore inventories in China have resulted in higher capesize freight rates.
<h3>Price Performance &amp; Valuation</h3>
Costamare, one of the leading owners and providers of containerships and dry bulk vessels for charter across the globe, has gained in excess of 35% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming not only its industry but also other shipping companies like Danaos Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dac#NYSE">DAC</a>) and Frontline plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fro#NYSE">FRO</a>).
<h3>YTD Price Comparison</h3>

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
From a valuation perspective, Costamare is trading at a discount compared to the industry going by its price/sales ratio. The reading is also below its median over the last five years. The company has a Value Score of A.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/bf/72675.jpg?v=260708522" style="border-style:solid; border-width:1px; height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h3>Investor Considerations</h3>
The company&#39;s dry bulk and containership fleets are being aided by the ongoing Red Sea tensions. Reduced container availability due to the Red Sea tensions has resulted in a rise in freight costs. Costamare has been benefiting from the surge in dry bulk rates. Lower capacity is expected to boost earnings. Rates are likely to remain high for quite some time, which should aid Costamare.
CMRE&#39;s focus on fleet modernization and leasing is also impressive. The significant amount of contract coverage generated by CMRE lowers its exposure to shipping market volatility. The fleet renewal strategy improves operational efficiency. Even though CMRE&#39;s future looks bright, one should be mindful of headwinds like high vessel operating costs and fuel expenses apart from the escalated debt load.
<h3>Final Thoughts</h3>
Given the abovementioned headwinds, we believe that investors should refrain from rushing to buy CMRE before Wednesday despite it being attractively valued and having a lot in its favor. Instead, they should monitor the developments pertaining to the stock closely for a more appropriate entry point, as an erroneous and hasty decision could affect portfolio gains. If an investor already holds CMRE stock in his/her portfolio, sit tight, as the upcoming earnings report is likely to confirm the company&#39;s strong performance.

Should You Buy Costamare Stock Ahead of Q2 Earnings?

Stifel analyst Benjamin Nolan maintains Costamare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>) with a Hold and raises the price target from $12 to $14.

Stifel Maintains Hold on Costamare, Raises Price Target to $14

After all major indexes ended the first half of the year in the green, more gains are anticipated in the second half. The resilient economy, robust job market, upward-trending sales and earnings estimates, and near-record household incomes provide strong support for continued market growth. Fed Chair Jerome Powell mentioned that the country is returning to a disinflationary path, though more data is needed before rate cuts can be confidently implemented. The Fed currently plans for just one rate cut by the end of the year, but the timing remains uncertain, and analysts believe the Fed will proceed cautiously.
In this elevated interest rate environment, value investing could be an effective approach. Value investing seeks to profit from investing in stocks that appear to be trading at a discount to their intrinsic values and eventually make handsome returns when the stock price rises toward that value, reflecting the actual fundamentals.
One interesting ratio that you can consider for ferreting out attractively valued stocks is earnings yield. Stocks like&nbsp;Harmony Biosciences (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hrmy#NASDAQ">HRMY</a>),&nbsp;GeoPark Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gprk#NYSE">GPRK</a>),&nbsp;GigaCloud Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gct#NASDAQ">GCT</a>), Costamare Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmre#NYSE">CMRE</a>) and&nbsp;Arko Corp.&nbsp;ARKO boast impressive earnings yield to help you fetch handsome long-term rewards.
<h3>Earnings Yield Strength</h3>
Earnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as annual earnings per share divided by market price. This metric measures the anticipated yield (or return) from earnings for each dollar invested in a stock today. While comparing stocks, if other factors are similar, the ones with higher earnings yield are considered undervalued, while those with lower earnings yield are seen as overpriced.
While earnings yield is nothing but the reciprocal of the P/E ratio, it is a little more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio as it also facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities. Investors often compare the earnings yield of a stock to the prevailing interest rates, such as the current 10-year Treasury yield, to get a sense of the return on investment it offers compared to virtually risk-free returns.
If the yield on a stock is lower than the 10-year Treasury yield, it would be considered overvalued relative to bonds. Conversely, if the yield on the stock is higher, it would be considered undervalued. In this situation, investing in the stock market would be a better option for a value investor.
<h3>The Winning Strategy</h3>
We have set&nbsp;an&nbsp;Earnings Yield greater than 10%&nbsp;as our primary screening criterion but it alone cannot be used for picking stocks that have the potential to generate solid returns. So, we have added the following parameters to the screen:
Estimated EPS growth for the next 12 months greater than or equal to the S&amp;P 500: This metric compares the 12-month forward EPS estimate with the 12-month actual EPS.
Average Daily Volume (20 Day) greater than or equal to 100,000: High trading volume implies that a stock has adequate liquidity.
Current Price greater than or equal to $5.
Buy-Rated Stocks: Stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have been known to outperform peers in any type of market environment.
<h3>Our Picks</h3>
Here we highlight five of the 30 stocks that qualified the screening:

5 High Earnings Yield Value Stocks That You Shouldn't Ignore

Investors generally tend to cling to the price-to-earnings (P/E) metric while looking for bargain stocks. In addition to being a widely used tool for screening stocks, P/E is also a popular metric to work out the fair market value of a company. But even this ubiquitously used valuation multiple has a few limitations. 
Although P/E is by far the most popular equity valuation ratio, a more complicated metric called EV/EBITDA does a better job of valuing a firm. Often viewed as a better substitute to P/E, this ratio offers a clearer picture of a company&#39;s valuation and its earnings potential. 
Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmm#NYSE">NMM</a>), Costamare Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmre#NYSE">CMRE</a>), The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/odp#NASDAQ">ODP</a>), ADT Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adt#NYSE">ADT</a>) and Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/por#NYSE">POR</a>) are some stocks with impressive EV-to-EBITDA ratios.

EV-to-EBITDA is essentially the enterprise value of a stock divided by its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). EV is the sum of a company&#39;s market capitalization, its debt and preferred stock minus cash and cash equivalents. 
EBITDA, the other component of the multiple, gives a better idea of a company&#39;s profitability as it removes the impact of non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortization that reduce net earnings. It is also often used as a proxy for cash flows. 
Just like P/E, the lower the EV-to-EBITDA ratio, the more attractive it is. A low EV-to-EBITDA ratio could signal that a stock is potentially undervalued. 
EV-to-EBITDA takes into account the debt on a company&#39;s balance sheet that the P/E ratio does not. Due to this reason, EV-to-EBITDA is generally used to value the potential acquisition targets as it shows the amount of debt the acquirer has to assume. Stocks boasting a low EV-to-EBITDA multiple could be seen as attractive takeover candidates. 
Another shortcoming of P/E is that it can&#39;t be used to value a loss-making firm. A company&#39;s earnings are also subject to accounting estimates and management manipulation. On the other hand, EV-to-EBITDA is difficult to manipulate and can also be used to value loss-making but EBITDA-positive companies. 
EV-to-EBITDA is also a useful tool in measuring the value of firms that are highly leveraged and have a high degree of depreciation. Moreover, it can be used to compare companies with different levels of debt. 
However, EV-to-EBITDA is not devoid of shortcomings and alone cannot conclusively determine a stock&#39;s inherent potential and future performance. The multiple varies across industries and is usually not appropriate while comparing stocks in different industries, given their diverse capital expenditure requirements. 
A strategy solely based on EV-to-EBITDA might not yield the desired results. However, you can club it with the other major ratios in your stock-investing toolbox, such as price-to-book (P/B), P/E and price-to-sales (P/S) to screen value stocks.
<h3>Screening Criteria</h3>
Here are the parameters to screen for value stocks: 
EV-to-EBITDA 12 Months-Most Recent less than X-Industry Median: A lower EV-to-EBITDA ratio represents a cheaper valuation. 
P/E using (F1) less than X-Industry Median: This metric screens stocks that are trading at a discount to their peers. 
P/B less than X-Industry Median: A lower P/B compared with the industry average implies that the stock is undervalued. 
P/S less than X-Industry Median: The lower the P/S ratio, the more attractive the stock is, as investors will have to pay a smaller price for the same amount of sales generated by the company. 
Estimated One-Year EPS Growth F(1)/F(0) greater than or equal to X-Industry Median: This parameter will help in screening stocks that have growth rates higher than the industry median. 
Average 20-day Volume greater than or equal to 100,000: The addition of this metric ensures that shares can be traded easily. 
Current Price greater than or equal to $5: This parameter will help in screening stocks that are trading at a minimum price of $5 or higher. 
Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2: It is a fundamental truth that stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have always managed to beat adversities and outperform the market. 
Value Score of less than or equal to B: Our research shows that stocks with a Value Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2, offer the best upside potential.

New Strong Buy Stocks for June 11th

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct an error in the price action of Charter Communications stock. 
A worse-than-expected University of Michigan May consumer report halted stock gains on Friday, sparking worries about a potential decline in consumer health amid<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38762249/consumer-sentiment-falls-in-may-inflation-expectations-strongly-exceed-feds-2-goal-they-now-perc"> perceived rising price pressures.</a>
The report disclosed that both near-term and long-term inflation expectations have surged beyond projections this month, causing the broader consumer gauge to hit its lowest levels in six months.
&#8220;If spending slows down and inflation increases, we'll get the opposite of the Goldilocks scenario that many were hoping for, and the Fed will be in an especially difficult position of choosing between accommodating a slowing economy and fighting increasing inflation expectations,&#8221; said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance. 
Echoing this view, Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial, sees rising risks of stagflation, a concern that could unsettle markets. 
At 12:05 p.m. trading in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was 0.1% lower, but it was firmly up by 1.6% for the week, poised to secure a third consecutive week of gains after three of losses.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was a tad higher, battling to secure the eight straight session of gains, the longest positive streak since December 2023. Tech stocks were flat. Small caps were the underperformers, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) down 0.9%. 
The rising inflation perceptions in the consumer survey rescued the dollar, which eyes a positive weekly close, after two negative ones. 
Treasury yields also inched higher by about 4 basis points across all maturities. The 10-year benchmark hit 4.5%.
Gold surged to $2,385/oz, with the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) up 0.8%. 
The dismal consumer sentiment data sharply weighed on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) with the largest cryptocurrency dropping over 4% from $63,000 to below $60,500 following the report.
