Wall Street mood has become circumspect as traders gear up to receive a slew of earnings reports this week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41319060/s-p-500-extends-record-highs-dow-breaks-43-000-ahead-of-pivotal-earnings-week-bitco">amid the market&#8217;s record run.</a> The Nasdaq Composite has been a laggard among the major averages and it remains to be seen if the early sentiment reverses and tech stocks could finish the session with a flourish. 
A spate of earnings due ahead of the market may set the tone for the day&#8217;s trading. Traders may also focus on any potential preannouncements, the results of a regional manufacturing survey and a couple of speeches by Federal Reserve officials. Energy stocks could lose their verve amid the sharp retreat in energy prices amid waning demand and supply concerns. Bond yields continue to hold firm.

Cues From Last Session:
Optimism concerning tech earnings season abounded on Wall Street on Monday as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indices opened solidly higher and moved roughly sideways before closing higher. The 30-stock Dow opened lower as Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) served as a drag, but the blue-chip average recouped its losses and moved higher in late-morning trading and stayed in the green for the remainder of the session.
As a result, the Dow and S&amp;P 500 set fresh closing and intraday highs, with the former topping 43,000 for the first time ever. The Nasdaq Composite is just under seven points from its all-time high of 18,509.34.
All but one of the S&amp;P 500 sector indices closed higher for the day, with energy stocks notching a marginal loss. IT and utility stocks were the biggest gainers of the session, led by Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). The artificial intelligence stalwart ended the session at a record high.

Insights From Analysts:
Cyclical stocks are poised for relative outperformance, thanks to the recent data that reinforces the resilience of the economy, according to Morgan Stanley analysts. But positioning in cyclicals remains light, said the firm&#8217;s Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson. 
&#8220;This creates opportunity in a sector that we upgraded to overweight last week given rebounding capital markets activity, a better loan growth environment in 2025, an acceleration in buybacks post Basel Endgame re-proposal, and attractive relative valuation,&#8221; he said.
The focus now shifts to the general election, Wilson said. The three high-level dynamics which are still important, according to the strategist, are:
<ul>
<li> business cycle remains more important than the election outcome.</li>
<li>on average, volatility picks up in September of election years and stays elevated through October before decelerating in November.</li>
<li>history is supportive of a quality bias in election years.</li>
</ul>
WisdomTree Senior Economist and Wharton Professor Emeritus Jeremy Siegel also expressed a preference for quality names. &#8220;Looking ahead, I see opportunity if the current resilience continues,&#8221; the economist said.
&#8220;Stocks are not cheap by historical standards, but with the fear gauge elevated and investors still largely hedging their bets, we could see a sharp move higher if sentiment turns more positive,&#8221; he added.
Siegel said quality remains the key for investors. Small caps are catching up a bit but the fundamentals of large-cap tech companies continue to drive performance, he said. &#8220;With inflation moderating and the Fed's easing cycle beginning, sectors like financials and industrials could benefit from a more favorable economic backdrop,&#8221; he added.
Early reports from banks have been solid and could set the tone for broader market gains, the economist said.

Wall Street On Edge As Nasdaq Nears Record High, Oil Prices Plummet: Strategist Says There's Opportunity If Resilience Continues

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41319060/s-p-500-extends-record-highs-dow-breaks-43-000-ahead-of-pivotal-earnings-week-bitco">S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are perched at record highs</a>, while the Nasdaq Composite is on the cusp of joining its major counterparts in record territory. Unfazed by the stretched valuations, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer on Monday raised the specter of further upside. 
Earnings Boost: The market isn&#8217;t overbought and therefore there is room to run, Cramer said in a post. The stock picker apparently sees earnings as one of the biggest catalysts that can propel stocks higher.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Earnings tomorrow and the market isn&#39;t overbought so there is room to run but the pesky bonds are back open tomorrow and they have been horrendous

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
 The earnings flow resumes after a pause on Monday owing to the Columbus Day holiday.

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) kickstarted the big bank earnings on Friday with a splash. The shares ended the session up over 4% after the third-quarter results came in ahead of expectations. JPMorgan&#8217;s peer Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) also reported encouraging earnings.
More earnings will follow on Tuesday and notable among those reporting are:
<ul>
<li>Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)</li>
<li>Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>)</li>

<li>United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)</li>
</ul>
Data compiled by FactSet shows cumulative earnings of S&amp;P 500 companies rising by 4.1% in the third quarter. Although a slowdown from the 11.2% growth in the second quarter, the profit growth streak will likely extend to five quarters.
Downside Risk: Cramer termed the bond market performance &#8220;horrendous,&#8221; potentially upsetting the equity market&#8217;s rhythm. &#8220;But the pesky bonds are back open tomorrow and they have been horrendous,&#8221; he said.
The bond market was closed on Monday and will reopen on Tuesday.
Bond yields have begun to tick higher, especially after the September non-farm payrolls report surprised to the upside. The upward move solidified after the consumer price inflation for September came in more than expected. 
The 10-year bond yield dipped under 3.6% in mid-September but has rallied above 4% since then, as investors unwind some of their aggressive rate-cut bets.
In an interview with CNBC, Fund Strat Head of Research Tom Lee said the unseasonable market trend showed macro data has become less important. A lot of cash that has remained on the sidelines is flowing back to the market, he said, adding that the economy has remained resilient as opposed to expectations for a recession.
When asked about the days when the market came back up from steep losses in the futures market and finished solidly higher, the strategist said skeptical investors, wary of a potential recession that never materialized, have remained under-invested in stocks. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/10/41300013/jp-morgan-and-wells-fargo-report-better-than-expected-q3-results-that-reflect-resilient-u-s-consumer">Earnings have also been resilient, </a>he added.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, rose 0.82% to $584.32 on Monday, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data, </a>marking a record closing high.

FedEx Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdx#NYSE">FDX</a>) is a solid business, but its latest results give another reason to fear that a recession is near. The company underperformed in all metrics, contracting versus an expectation to grow and reducing guidance in what may be the first of several reductions this year. The FedEx news sent ripples of fear through the entire transportation sector, driving share prices for competitors like United Parcel Service&nbsp;and J.B. Hunt Transportation Services (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) down.
The takeaway is that the calendar Q3 earnings reporting season will be disappointing, and there is also an economic concern. FedEx and other shipping giants are leading indicators of the economy, but FedEx didn&#39;t grow this quarter.&nbsp; Upcoming data may reflect the weakness, which won&#39;t benefit the broader stock market.&nbsp;
<h2>Shifting Habits Offset FedEx Quality Improvements</h2>
FedEx had a strong quarter financially, generating revenue and profits sufficient to sustain operations and the capital return program. However, $21.16 billion in net revenue is down 40 basis points compared to last year and is 140 basis points shy of the consensus, with margin contraction impacting the bottom line.&nbsp;
The revenue weakness is attributed to a mix shift, with consumers turning away from higher-cost, higher-margin priority shipping to lower-cost, lower-margin options. Both operating segments contributed to the weakness, and there was one less day in the quarter. Even so, when adjusted for the day, results are still shy of consensus and come with weak and potentially optimistic guidance.&nbsp;
Margin news is mixed. The company reports further progress in its DRIVE initiative and improving structural quality. However, the consumer shift also impacted the margins, which contracted compared to last, amplified by increased wage expenses. Operating margin is down 180 bps GAAP and 170 bps adjusted, leaving net income down by 23% and adjusted EPS by 20%. The adjusted EPS is aided by share repurchases, which were accelerated this year. The company bought back $1 billion in Q1, impacting EPS by $0.03, and is forecasting another $1.5 billion in buybacks by year&#39;s end.&nbsp;
Guidance is not OK but could be better. Revenue and earnings are sufficient to sustain operational and balance sheet quality, with revenue expected to grow by year&#39;s end but reflecting reduced demand and the Q1 consumer shift. The takeaway is that the revenue target was reduced to low single digits from mid-single digits, and the earnings narrowed at the high end, and both are likely optimistic. There is little expectation for economic headwinds to improve in CQ3 and CQ4, and it will be several quarters before the FOMC&#39;s rate cuts have an impact.&nbsp;
<h2>Analysts Cap Gains in FedEx Stock, Expect Downward Pressure in Q4</h2>
The analysts are unsatisfied with FedEx&#39;s results and are reducing their price targets following the release. MarketBeat tracks over a dozen revisions within the first day of the report, including numerous price target reductions and several downgrades. Their activity has the consensus target moving lower and capping upside potential at the high end of a trading range. However, the negativity is offset by a single increased target, and a consensus is that the stock is still a buy likely to return to the top of the range, assuming subsequent reports are more favorable.
FedEx&#39;s price action confirms resistance at the top of the trading range. The market fell 15% after the report, showing strong resistance to higher prices at that level, and is likely to continue lower over the coming weeks. The best target for firm support is near the $235 level, which may be reached soon. The risk is that market sentiment will continue to sour and FDX stock will fall out of its range and move to the $200 level or lower. The opportunity for investors is to put this stock on a watchlist and wait for it to bottom. That will come in alignment with a brightening economic outlook.&nbsp;

Now that the market is shifting due to the new path the Federal Reserve (the Fed) has undertaken recently, cutting interest rates and starting a new monetary policy easing cycle, investors need to re-tune their preferences for potential picks in their portfolios moving forward. Growth, income, and market capitalization growth are some of the factors that should be at the top of this new preference list.
With this in mind, the homework has been done regarding hunting for stocks that fit these descriptions so that investors can focus on weighing their options rather than going down rabbit holes. Fitting this list, investors will see names like Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/knx#NYSE">KNX</a>) in the transportation sector, then PotlatchDeltic Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pch#NASDAQ">PCH</a>) as support in the construction industry, and finally, an energy sector play in Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bep#NYSE">BEP</a>).
All three of these picks share the same factors: market capitalizations below $10 billion to be considered middle caps and not large caps, enough earnings per share (EPS) growth forecasts to turn them into large caps so that investors can enjoy the ride in this new cycle, and the added bonus of enjoying enough dividend income to cushion any inflation effects or volatility that this new easing cycle might bring.
<h2>Transportation Leads the Way: Knight-Swift Stock Poised for a Breakout</h2>
Two sectors typically act as gauges for the economy: housing and trucking. In this case, Knight-Swift stock offers insight into the trucking industry, and it&#39;s starting to look very optimistic today. When rates come down, and both business and consumer activity spike, trucking and transportation tend to benefit from new demand.
Being a $8.4 billion company gives investors enough room to rise to a closer fraction of peers like J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>), which trades at a larger $17.6 billion market capitalization. Here&#39;s where the growth might come to get this stock to a bigger market capitalization.
Analysts at Barclays Bank think Knight-Swift stock could be worth up to $62 a share, daring it to rally by as much as 18.8% from where it trades today.
They also call for a new 52-week high to show more bullish momentum ahead. While it may not be an inflation-beating income, the stock offers investors a 1.2% dividend yield today.
But that yield could be improved now that the company expects to see bigger profits in the next 12 months, or at least that&#39;s what Wall Street analysts project today.
Predictions are for Knight-Swift to reach $0.50 earnings per share (EPS) next year, up from the current $0.24, for a 108% growth in earnings to close the loop on potential upside.
<h2>Rising New Construction Could Spark a Rally in PotlatchDeltic Stock</h2>
Lower interest rates mean lower mortgage yields, which could spark new construction demand as homebuyers come off the sidelines and are ready to look for new homes. Even if that&#39;s not the case, given the high inventory per capita levels of the market today and falling housing starts, rental demand is the next big thing to rise.
Whichever real estate branch takes off on these lower rates, construction needs timber. PotlatchDeltic owns large acres of timberland to provide the industry with what it needs.
Knowing this, investors can start to see how this $3.4 billion company will turn into a large cap in due time, as long as there is enough potential growth ahead.
And growth there is. Wall Street analysts now forecast EPS growth of up to $0.30 for the next 12 months, looking to deliver over 100% profit growth. Leaning on these trends and fundamentals, those at Bank of America felt comfortable placing a valuation of $51 a share on this stock, calling for up to 12% upside from where the stock trades today.
As a real estate investment trust (REIT), PotlatchDeltic offers an attractive dividend yield of 3.95% today, one that could grow as profits double and the stock manages to grow its market capitalization in this new cycle.
<h2>Energy Supercycle Could Drive Surge in Renewable Energy Demand</h2>
There has to be a reason why Brookfield Renewable Partners stock saw its volume grow from an average of $482,000 shares to $821,000 shares recently.
The doubling in volume signals market interest in this stock. But what could have brought the market into this $6.9 billion market capitalization company?
As business activity rises due to lower interest rates, oil demand may spike, increasing the price per barrel.
This trend makes alternative energy sources more attractive, and that&#39;s where Wall Street forecasts for up to 113% EPS growth in this stock comes into play.
From this potential growth path, those at the Royal Bank of Canada have landed on a $31 price target for Brookfield Renewable stock, calling for a net upside of 17% from where it trades today.
More than this upside, the stock offers investors an attractive 5.3% dividend yield today, speaking to the company&#39;s undervaluation and confidence in future growth and stability.

Shares of rail and transportation stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength following the Fed's rate cut.

Fund manager Matthew Tuttle made waves in the ETF space for his unique funds that offer ways for investors to get leveraged exposure or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36500461/exclusive-the-man-who-shorts-cathie-wood-and-jim-cramer-filed-for-new-bitcoin-etfs-why-lev">bet against well-known financial figures</a> like Jim Cramer and Cathie Wood.
Tuttle is back with a new fund that gives investors a way to invest in companies that are not meeting ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
What Happened: Tuttle Capital Management launched the ETF Opportunities Trust Tuttle Capital Shareholders First Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGX#BATS">ESGX</a>), a new ETF that gives investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/23/09/34288808/want-to-bet-against-woke-companies-theres-an-etf-for-that"> a way to invest </a>in companies that "focus on profits, not politics or trendy activisms of the moment."
"ESGX allows investors to choose a portfolio of companies that follow the comment sense notion that companies that focus on profits are better for investors than companies that don't," a press release for the fund reads.
The ETF follows the AJN Shareholders First Index, which tracks a portfolio of U.S. companies that meet the requirement of focusing on profits and ignoring politics and "trendy activisms of the moment."
"Too many companies today put ESG and DEI politics first and their shareholders' profits last," Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle said. "ESG has become a way for liberal executives and large investors to enact social changes that they can't pass at the ballot box."
Tuttle said CEOs can be pressured to "cave to the trendy politics of the moment," and often times this is not in the best interest of shareholders.
"That's why we launched ESGX – to put shareholders and profits first."
Tuttle added that investors had limited options of ways to invest in companies that put profits ahead of politics before the ETF launched.
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="http://ShareholdersFirstETF.com">holdings </a>in the ESGX ETF:
<ul>
<li>MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>): 2.3% of assets</li>
<li>Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>): 2.2% of assets</li>
<li>J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>

<li>RLI Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLI#NYSE">RLI</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
</ul>
The ETF launch comes after companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Planet Fitness (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>), Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and others have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/33083401/mark-cuban-vs-chamath-palihapitiya-billionaires-battle-over-go-woke-go-broke-mantra">accused by consumers</a> and investors of focusing too heavily on ESG and DEI policies and "going woke" instead of worrying about financial growth and returns for shareholders.

Self Defense ETF Also Launches: Tuttle Capital also launched the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GUNZ#BATS">GUNZ</a>) Tuesday.
The fund invests in companies that are engaged in self-defense, with a belief that the United States is becoming less safe.
The ETF invests in companies that manufacture, service, supply and distribute personal and law enforcement defense equipment and protection services. The fund tracks the AJN Self Defense U.S. Equity Index.
"Americans feel less safe and feel there is more crime in the country now than last year. Many Americans are taking self defense into their own hands," Tuttle said.
Tuttle added that shares of gun manufacturers have also risen after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"Gun sales have rebounded after nearly three years of continuous decline and firearms manufacturers world wide have seen their stock surge after the terrorist attack on Israel and the Trump assassination attempt."
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="https://www.gunzetf.com/">holdings </a>in the GUNZ ETF:

Fund Manager Who Bet Against Jim Cramer And Cathie Wood Has New Anti-Woke ETF: 'Puts Profits Ahead Of Politics, DEI & ESG'

Navios Maritime (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmm#NYSE">NMM</a>) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2024 earnings results on Aug 20, before market opens.
The shipping company&#39;s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. The average beat is 25.4%.
<div class="chart_embed">
<h3>Navios Maritime Partners LP Price and EPS Surprise</h3>
<img alt="Navios Maritime Partners LP Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/1d/1724055249.png" style="height:266px; width:538px" title="" />
Navios Maritime Partners LP price-eps-surprise | Navios Maritime Partners LP Quote
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter&#39;s earnings is pegged at $2.90 per share. The earnings estimate for the to-be-reported quarter has declined 11.8% in the past 60 days. The bottom-line projection indicates a year-over-year contraction of 12.7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues, currently pegged at $317.6 million, indicates a year-over-year decrease of 8.5%.
</div>
Against this backdrop, let&#39;s delve into the factors that might have impacted Navios Maritime&#39;s June-quarter performance.
We expect vessel operating expenses to have been high in the to-be-reported quarter. Time charter and voyage expenses are also expected to have been high. High costs are likely to have dented NMM&#39;s bottom-line performance. Supply-chain disruptions are anticipated to have dampened this shipping company&#39;s results.
However, continued fleet expansion initiatives are likely to have driven the company&#39;s performance. Time charter and voyage revenues are likely to have been impressive in the June quarter, primarily driven by revenues from freight voyages.
<h3>Earnings Whispers</h3>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Navios Maritime this time around. The combination of a positive&nbsp;Earnings ESP&nbsp;and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: NMM has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% at present.
Zacks Rank: NMM carries a Zacks Rank of 3, currently.
<h3>Performances of Other Transportation Companies</h3>
Delta Air Lines&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dal#NYSE">DAL</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 earnings (excluding 35 cents from non-recurring items) of $2.36 per share, which marginally missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.37. Earnings decreased 11.9% on a year-over-year basis. Apart from high costs, the carrier blamed the discounting pressure at the low end of the market, which hurt its pricing power, for the disappointing performance.
Revenues of $16.65 billion surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.25 billion and increased 6.9% year over year, driven by upbeat air travel demand. Adjusted operating revenues (excluding third-party refinery sales) came in at $15.41 billion, up 5.4% year over year.
J.B. Hunt Transport Services&#39;&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) earnings of $1.32 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.51 and declined 27% year over year.
JBHT&#39;s total operating revenues of $2.93 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.03 billion and fell 7% year over year. Total operating revenues, excluding fuel surcharge revenues, fell 6% year over year. The downfall was owing to a 5% decrease in gross revenue per load in Intermodal and a decline in load volume of 25% in Integrated Capacity Solutions, 9% in Truckload and 9% in Dedicated Contract Services.
United Airlines (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ual#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 earnings per share (excluding 18 cents from non-recurring items) of $4.14, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.97. Earnings decreased 17.7% on a year-over-year basis.
Operating revenues of $14.98 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $15.13 billion. The top line increased 5.7% year over year attributed to upbeat air-travel demand. This was driven by a 5.2% rise in passenger revenues (which accounted for 91.2% of the top line) to $13.680 billion. Almost 44,375 passengers traveled on UAL flights in the second quarter, up 5.8% year over year.

Air Transport Services Group&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atsg#NASDAQ">ATSG</a>) second-quarter 2024 earnings (excluding 8 cents from non-recurring items) of 19 cents per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents but plunged 66.7% year over year.&nbsp; Customer revenues (derived after eliminating internal revenues from total revenues) of $488.4 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $512.3 million and fell 7.7% year over year.
ATSG primarily operates through the following reporting segments, namely Cargo Aircraft Management or CAM and ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance &amp; insurance) Services.

Air Transport Services Group, Inc price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Air Transport Services Group, Inc Quote
Air Transport&#39;s total fleet in service included 134 aircraft (20 passengers and 114 freighters) at the end of the second quarter of 2024 compared with 125 a year ago. Total operating expenses decreased marginally to $457.1 million.
</div>
Adjusted EBITDA fell 17% year over year to $130.4 million. Operating cash flow declined to $137.1 million from $192.2 million a year ago. Adjusted free cash flow was $109.8 million compared with $136.6 million in the prior year.
<h3>2024 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook Raised</h3>
Air Transport now anticipates&nbsp;adjusted EBITDA of almost $526 million (earlier outlook was $516 million). The improved outlook for adjusted EBITDA is owing to the anticipation of more flying opportunities from 10 Amazon-provided 767-300s and new lease commitments for available aircraft.
ATSG expects third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA to be similar to the second quarter as ramp-up costs for adding 10 Amazon-supplied 767 freighters continue but are higher in the fourth quarter when the last few enter service and other peak-season operations occur. Capital spending for the current year is projected to be $390 million. The company expects to end 2024 with a fleet size (in service) of 139 aircraft (20 passengers and 129 freighters).
Currently, Air Transport carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

However, the bottom line decreased 17.69% year over year.
Operating revenues of $15 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $15.13 billion. However, the top line increased 5.7% year over year due to upbeat air travel demand. Cargo revenues rose by 14.4% year over year to $414 million. Revenues from other sources jumped 9.6% year over year to $892 million.
J.B. Hunt Transport Services&#39;&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) second-quarter 2024 earnings per share of $1.32 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.51 and declined 27.1% year over year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter&#39;s earnings is pegged at 47 cents per share. The metric has remained stable in the past 60 days. The bottom-line projection indicates a year-over-year contraction of 9.6%.
</div>
Against this backdrop, let&#39;s delve into the factors that might have impacted FLEX LNG&#39;s June-quarter performance.
We expect the upbeat demand for liquefied natural gas to have aided FLEX LNG&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Amid the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war, Europe is likely to seek gas supplies outside Russia. This is expected to have driven demand for LNG vessels.
On the flip side, FLNG&#39;s performance is expected to have been affected by supply-chain disruptions. High operating expenses due to the increased average number of vessels in its fleet are likely to have hurt the bottom line. Steep fuel costs are expected to have raised total expenses.
<h3>Earnings Whispers</h3>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for FLEX LNG this time around. The combination of a positive&nbsp;Earnings ESP&nbsp;and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
