Earnings Outlook For Whirlpool

Several analysts lowered the price forecast for Comerica Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>) following the release of its first-quarter FY25 results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44920250/comerica-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-after-q1-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Monday</a>.
The company posted quarterly earnings of $1.25 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.15 per share and sales of $829.0 million, but missed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $831.34 million</a>.
Comerica sees FY25 net interest income growth of 5%-7%, average deposits decline of 2%-3%, and average loan decrease of 1%-2% full-year average, <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.comerica.com/quarterly-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">or </a>~flat point to point.
For the second quarter of FY25, the company projects average loans to be slightly lower sequentially (Q/Q) and net interest income <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">to be relatively flat Q/Q</a>.
RBC Capital analyst Jon G. Arfstrom maintained an Outperform rating and lowered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $75 to $65.</a>
The analyst writes that first-quarter results aligned with their expectations and those of peers. Margin expansion kept net interest income stable, and both credit trends and expenses were strong, he added.
Arfstrom says that the company&#8217;s FY25 outlook reflects softer near-term loan growth, which seems a sensible adjustment <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">amid current macro conditions</a>.
He maintained EPS estimates of $5.30 for 2025 and $5.80 for 2026.
In this environment, Arfstrom expects the bank to keep its CET1 ratio above the 10% target and resume share buybacks resuming in the second quarter.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Christopher McGratty slashed the price target from $77 to $68 while keeping an Outperform rating.
The analyst says that the company reported strong first-quarter results driven by improved PPNR and credit performance.
The revised 2025 outlook suggests roughly a 2% downside to consensus estimates, added McGratty.
Truist Securities analyst Brian Foran slashed the price forecast from $65 to $57 while keeping the Hold rating.
The analyst reduced 2025 EPS estimate by 4% to $5.10 and 2026 EPS estimate by 3% to $5.70.
The revisions reflect lower fee income and slightly softer net interest income, partially offset by reduced expenses and additional share repurchases, Foran added.
Price Action: CMA shares are up 0.79% at $51.00 at the last check Tuesday.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

In the current market session, Carvana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) share price is at $214.34, after a 9.45% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.30%, but in the past year, went up by 184.45%.

<h3>How Does Carvana P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.02 in the Specialty Retail industry, Carvana Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 123.16. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Carvana Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745348433_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Deep Dive Into Veeco Instruments Stock: Analyst Perspectives (6 Ratings)

The U.S. tech sector just walked into a geopolitical buzzsaw, and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) may be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nvda/news">the first big casualty</a>. As trade tensions ratchet up and tariff policy gets more unpredictable, AI leaders such as Nvidia are getting boxed out of China just as competitors like Huawei prepare to strike.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives isn't mincing words: "The U.S. tech industry in particular is front and center in this Category 5 storm." 
The spark? A chaotic rollout of new trade barriers, including a ban on Nvidia's H20 chip in China — a move that Ives says is "cutting U.S. tech at the knees and helping steamroll China tech ahead."
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44927300/this-nvidia-backed-ai-upstart-boasts-extremely-rapid-revenue-growth-analyst-initiates-overweight">Nvidia-Backed AI Startup Boasts &#8216;Extremely Rapid Revenue Growth&#8217; &#8211; JPMorgan Initiates With Overweight</a>
In contrast, Huawei is already gearing up to ship its rival 910C AI chip — comparable to Nvidia's H100 — by early May. Chinese firms, blocked from Nvidia's offerings, are "picking up the phone and calling Huawei," according to Ives.
In short, the U.S. is losing leverage and China is gaining momentum.
The stakes are massive. 
"For the first time in 30 years, the U.S. is ahead of China when it comes to AI," Ives notes. 
But that edge could erode fast. With supply chains in disarray and CEOs unsure of the rules, even bellwethers such as Apple and Tesla may struggle to stick to product road maps.
Ives is urging policymakers to act: "This game of high-stakes poker from the White House needs to result in trade deals ASAP." Without progress, the market could "go into bunker mode,&#8221; by slashing spending, hiring and investment.
In Ives' words, "the longer this drags on, U.S. tech takes a step back… while China tech sees tailwinds."
Until then, welcome to the &#8220;economic Twilight Zone,&#8221; says Ives.

Carvana shares are trading higher after Piper Sandler raised its price target from $225 to $230 and maintained an Overweight rating.

Following the H20 effective shipment ban to China on April 15, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock has declined 14%</a>, versus the PHLX Semiconductor Sector&#8217;s 8% and the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 4%.
BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya noted four key concerns pressuring the stock. They included China sales, AI Diffusion Rules, gross margin return to mid-70% by the fiscal second half amid multiple sales cuts and cost pressures, and cloud capex visibility into calendar 2026.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44897214/nvidia-discusses-ai-powering-future-with-japan-amid-rising-energy-demands" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia&#8217;s Jensen Huang Meets Japanese PM To Discuss AI&#8217;s Growing Energy Needs</a>
Of these four, Arya noted China and H20 exposure as generally de-risked and noted his revised fiscal 2026 and 2027 (roughly calendar 2025 and 2026) base case EPS of $3.97 and $5.74 fully baked into the cut. Gross margins could face modest cost inflation pressures, but are expected to generally improve throughout the fiscal second half as Blackwell gains scale and Blackwell Ultra ramps up. Cloud capex needs more quarters for CSPs to provide more visibility in the calendar for 2026.
According to Arya, the upcoming AI Diffusion Rule remains the biggest near-term risk, with his worst-case scenario assuming another ~10% drop in sales and up to 11% of EPS shaved off from his new base case. However, even with this distressed scenario, the stock is trading at just 19 times calendar 2026 P/E today, well below the historical ~30 times median and typical ~23 times cycle trough.
Arya <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated Buy on</a> Nvidia, noting the current stock volatility as an enhanced buying opportunity. However, he lowered the price target to $150 from $160, unchanged at 26 times calendar 2026 P/E, to reflect lower EPS.
Arya&#8217;s new base case assumptions for Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) now exclude sales of H20 and MI308 products, which now require licenses to ship to China.
Arya assumed a ~4% sales and ~5% EPS impact for Nvidia and ~ a 3% sales and ~4% EPS impact for AMD in calendar 2026.
Arya updated both models to reflect this impact and the one-time inventory/reserve charge ($5.5 billion Nvidia, $800 million AMD).
For AMD, Arya&#8217;s new $105 price target (down from $110) represents an unchanged ~20 times P/E or 0.9 times PEG off his new $5.29 calendar 2026 EPS, generally in line with the 1-2 times historical range for high-growth compute semis; as such, he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated his Neutral rating</a>.
Arya flagged Nvidia&#8217;s global customer footprint and that up to 24% of fiscal 2025 (calendar 2024) sales (&#8220;billing&#8221; location) were from non-China Tier 2 or 3 countries, including 18% of sales billed in Singapore. While the exact mix of shipment locations is difficult to identify, Arya provided a worst-case scenario analysis where up to 5-10% of these sales could be restricted under the upcoming AI Diffusion Rule.
In the 10% sales cut scenario, Nvidia EPS may decline by an additional 14% and 11% to $3.69 and $4.98 in fiscal 2026 and 2027 (calendar 2025 and 2026) from the current consensus $4.29 and $5.59 and his base case $3.97 and $5.74.
Notably, Nvidia trades at 16.6 times off Arya&#8217;s new base case calendar 2026 EPS (including the H20 ban) today. Even if he assumed the above worst-case 10% AI Diffusion restriction scenario, valuation remains attractive at 19 times calendar 2026 P/E or 0.7 times PEG, below the historic 1-2 times range for high-growth compute semis and below the 1.8 times median for other Mag-7 peers.
Price Actions: NVDA stock is up 1.8% at $98.69 at last check Tuesday. AMD is up 1.50%.

Guidewire Doubles Down On Japan, Plans $60 Million Investment to Meet Cloud Demand

Goldman Sachs analyst Jerry Revich reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HRI/analyst-ratings">Buy rating </a>on the shares of Herc Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRI#NYSE">HRI</a>) with a price forecast of $171.
The Bonita Springs, Florida-based company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44917566/herc-holdings-reports-first-quarter-2025-results-and-affirms-2025-full-year-guidance">reported its first-quarter 2025 </a>earnings and reaffirmed the guidance. But Revich said the earnings came in below expectations, primarily due to weaker dollar utilization and tighter margins.
The first-quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $339 million, fell short of the firm's projection of $364 million and the FactSet consensus estimate of $362 million.
Dollar utilization reached 37.6%, coming in below the expected 39.1%. The company did not provide specifics on pricing trends or fleet expansion.

Despite the shortfall, Herc reiterated its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance at a midpoint of $1.613 billion. That&#8217;s slightly above the consensus figure of $1.61 billion.
Revich anticipates the earnings call will focus on several key areas, including whether capital spending plans will be scaled back, given that dollar utilization came in 150 basis points under projections and was nearly 200 basis points lower than last year.
Clarification on what contributed to the decline in dollar utilization specifically, the balance of pricing, fleet usage, and product mix. While utilization trended upward during the quarter, pricing appeared to soften.
The expected trajectory of both utilization and pricing trends in April. Despite concerns about a potential economic downturn, management reaffirmed its guidance, with Q1 EBITDA accounting for 21% of the full-year forecast, in line with the company's average over the past three years.
The investors will also expect progress updates on the regulatory review process for the H&amp;E acquisition.
Price Action: Herc shares traded lower by 6.32% at $104.45 at last check Tuesday.
