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.

Herc Holdings Q1 Falls Short But Long-Term Guidance Holds: Analyst

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is flying into earnings Wednesday morning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/earnings">before market hours</a>, with turbulence already rocking the fuselage. Shares are down nearly 7% year to date, with a brutal 11% drop in the past month alone. Wall Street&#8217;s forecast for a $1.25 per-share loss in the first quarter isn't offering much hope.
But a sudden tailwind Tuesday could help level out some of the descent.
The stock got a boost after Boeing announced a $10.55 billion all-cash deal to sell chunks of its Digital Aviation Solutions biz to private equity firm Thoma Bravo. The package includes notable assets like Jeppesen and ForeFlight, with the transaction expected to close by the end of 2025.
"This transaction is an important component of our strategy to focus on core businesses, supplement the balance sheet and prioritize the investment grade credit rating," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44929060">said</a> Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg.
The move comes just in time. Boeing has been dealing with a high-altitude identity crisis &#8211; bleeding cash, battered by production setbacks, and now leaning on asset sales to restore investor confidence. The sale won't fix its fuselage flaws overnight, but it's a clear signal the company is trying to tighten up its cockpit.

Despite Tuesday's deal bump, Boeing's technicals remain more bearish than bullish. While there's some buying pressure and the eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $158.13 gives a bullish nudge, that's where the optimism ends. The 20-day, 50-day and 200-day SMAs all flash red. And with a MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) of negative 2.55, momentum is heading in the wrong direction. The Relative Strength Index at 49.22 suggests Boeing stock is stuck in neutral.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street's Radar: A Turbulent Target</h2>
While the average consensus price target sits at $199.68, a more recent trio of analyst ratings from Benchmark and Wells Fargo puts the stock at $146.33 &#8211; implying a potential 8.6% downside from current levels.
Earnings will be the ultimate pilot here. Will the $10.55 billion cash parachute help Boeing steer out of the tailspin?
Investors, buckle up Wednesday morning to find out.

Boeing Preps For A Rough Q1 Takeoff - But $10.55 Billion Cash Deal Could Provide A Soft Landing

Atkore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATKR#NYSE">ATKR</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. On Monday, the company disclosed preliminary results <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44911939/atkore-inc-announces-estimates-for-its-second-quarter-and-provides-business-update" rel="noreferrer noopener">for the second quarter of FY25</a>.
The company expects net sales of around $695 million—$705 million (vs. a consensus of $690.8 million) and adjusted EPS of roughly $2.01-$2.08 (vs. a street view of $1.40).
Atkore also expects adjusted EBITDA of around<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $115 million-$118 million for the quarter</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42536014/atkore-is-poised-to-benefit-from-electrification-megatrends-says-bullish-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atkore Is Poised To Benefit From &#8216;Electrification Megatrends&#8217;: Analyst</a>
The preliminary results reflect volume growth in the mid-single digits and better-than-expected manufacturing productivity.
The quarterly net loss and diluted loss per share were mainly due to a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $121 million—$162 million related to High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) assets.
Notably, on April 15, 2025, the company identified an impairment of certain HDPE pipe and conduit assets due to emerging competing technology, reduced public spending, delayed broadband funding, and revised cash flow projections.
Labor deal: Moreover, the company inked a new 5-year labor agreement with the United Steelworkers for its Harvey, Illinois facility.
The contract, retroactive to April 2024, follows the expiration of the previous agreement and reflects a successful collaboration between both parties.
FY25 Outlook Reiterated: The company continues to project net sales of $2,850 million to $2,950 million (vs. consensus of $2.85 billion), adjusted EPS of $5.75 to $6.85 (vs. street view of $6.09), and adjusted EBITDA of $375 million to $425 million.
Bill Waltz, Atkore&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer added, &#8220;We are confident that our business model and diverse portfolio will enable us to continue to effectively adapt in these dynamic times. Notably, we source and manufacture most of our products in the U.S. and most of our customers operate domestically.&#8221;
Atkor plans to release second-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings results on May 6, 2025</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via The Acquirers Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIG#NYSE">ZIG</a>) and First Trust Small Cap Value AlphaDEX Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FYT#NASDAQ">FYT</a>).
Price Action: ATKR shares are up 9.41% to $62.07 at the last check on Tuesday.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) inspired GraniteShares to launch two new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">exchange-traded funds</a>.
What Happened: In the latest fuel for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">EV-thematic investors</a>, GraniteShares unveiled two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">single-stock ETFs</a>. They&#8217;re designed to return 2x the day&#8217;s return of their respective underlying stocks.
This means when Lucid has a decent hair day in the market, the GraniteShares 2x Long LCID Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCDL#NASDAQ">LCDL</a>) attempts to double down on it. 
Similarly, when Rivian gets revs up, the GraniteShares 2x Long RIVN Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RVNL#NASDAQ">RVNL</a>) seeks to floor it.
But, as a word of caution, these ETFs are <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/22/3065412/0/en/GraniteShares-2x-Long-LCID-Daily-ETF-LCDL-and-GraniteShares-2x-Long-RIVN-Daily-ETF-RVNL-Launch-Today.html">designed </a>for tactical traders, not long-haul investors, as the funds reset daily.

Why It Matters: Lucid, with its luxury sedans and in-house battery technology, cut a niche in the premium EV market. Its cars are designed and built in California and feature fresh styling and serious range.
Rivian, on the other hand, is more rugged with its R1T pickup and R1S SUV, not to mention its high-profile Electric Delivery Van (EDV) fleet. The company is also made and based in the U.S., targeting consumers and commercial customers who want environmentally friendly transport.
Both stocks have recently experienced a rough ride, making them good targets for traders wagering on short-term rebounds—or reversals.
Other ETFs To Watch: It&#8217;s worth noting that GraniteShares&#8217; LCDL and RVNL ETFs are not for Sunday drivers. They are designed for pit-stop traders who have an iron stomach and are watching the daily ticker.
For investors who want to tap into the wider EV universe with less volatility than single-stock plays, keep an eye on the following:
<ul>
<li>Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>), which provides diversified exposure to both EV producers and top suppliers in AI and battery technology. It&#8217;s been a consistent performer during macro headwinds. Looking at the rear view mirror, the ETF has dipped 12.8% in the past year. However, a longer look down the road shows that it has gained 61.62% in the past five years. The expense ratio it carries is 0.68%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>), which offers international exposure to leaders in autonomous and electric vehicle innovation. Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), BYD (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are some of its best holdings. The past year price performance is discouraging at a loss of 4.53%. However, the fund has gained more than 20% in the past five years. The expense ratio of the fund is 0.47%.</li>

A powerful rally in gold miners is turning heads on Wall Street, with the industry, as broadly tracked by the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>), up 50% year-to-date through April 22, outperforming nearly every other asset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">class around the world. </a>
Fueled by gold prices soaring above $3,300 per ounce and robust investor demand, the industry enters first-quarter earnings season with high expectations and bullish momentum.
This week, Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) will kick off first-quarter 2025 reporting, with analysts anticipating a wave of strong cash flow, operational updates and capital allocation plans.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving The Gold Boom?</h3>
According to VanEck portfolio manager Imaru Casanova, a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; is lifting gold: sticky inflation, rising global debt, escalating geopolitical tensions and growing recession fears.
"Gold thrives amid uncertainty," she said during a VanEck-hosted webinar Tuesday, highlighting the sector&#8217;s leverage to bullion. Gold equities, she added, have delivered "significantly amplified returns" compared to the metal itself.
Casanova noted that gold equities have sharply outperformed bullion, highlighting that the leverage embedded in mining companies gives investors an amplified return profile when gold rises.
With miners' all-in sustaining costs around $1,400 to $1,500 per ounce, today's gold prices north of $3,300 are delivering record margins.
"If we're at $3,000 gold and the costs are $1,500, that's a $1,500 margin per ounce," Casanova said. "That's where the cash flow is."
She also highlighted the rising interest in capital return strategies, such as share buybacks and dividends. "The companies are in great shape. That makes us even more bullish—not just because of the gold price, but because of company fundamentals."
Gold prices are up 42% over the past year and 18% over the past quarter, averaging $2,862 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025. In April, gold has surged another 8.9%, now trading above $3,400.
Monthly gold ETF demand hit a three-year high in April, signaling a potential resurgence of institutional and retail interest.
The VanEck team outlined several structural supports behind the gold rally, including strong demand from central banks, tariff risk and policy uncertainty.
With gold in "uncharted territory," Casanova said, "we could enter a much higher range" that supports even more robust margins and cash flows for miners. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Q1 Expectations From Wall Street</h3>
Bank of America raised target multiples and price objectives across its North American precious metals coverage this week in response to gold's strength. Analyst Lawson Winder now sees:
<ul>
<li>Newmont at $70 (from $60)</li>
<li>Agnico Eagle Mines at $159 (from $142)</li>
<li>Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) at $23 (from $19.50)</li>
<li>Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) at $17.50 (from $15.00)</li>
</ul>
BofA expects free cash flow across its coverage to total $2.2 billion for the first quarter and $16.2 billion for the full year 2025, assuming gold averages $3,063 per ounce.
With all-in sustaining costs estimated around $1,500 per ounce, the sector is capturing historically wide margins.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks <a href="https://x.com/JavonTM1/status/1914683589402251326">says</a> XRP could still deliver a 50x return, pointing to a potential $111 target, based on prior-cycle behavior.
Trader Scient <a href="https://x.com/Crypto_Scient/status/1914645571278909812">notes</a> that XRP is flipping its monthly 50-day moving average for the first time in six years, a technical milestone that he says marks XRP as &#8220;probably the safest play&#8221; in crypto right now.
Veteran trader DonAlt echoed the bullish stance, labeling XRP one of the most compelling altcoin setups at current levels. It&#8217;s trading at range lows after sweeping prior support, a classic setup for a sharp reversal if broader market momentum continues.

The death of Pope Francis at the age of 88 has brought attention to the Catholic Church and the selection of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44892537/pope-francis-first-south-american-pontiff-and-peoples-pope-dies-at-88">selecting a new pope.</a>
Here's how prediction markets and a 2024 movie could profit from the pope's death.
Pope's Funeral Set: A funeral for Pope Francis, the global leader of the Catholic Church since 2013, will be held on Saturday, April 26, at 10 a.m. CET (4 a.m. ET). Many world leaders are likely to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44916290/pope-francis-the-peoples-pope-dies-at-88-tributes-pour-in-from-trump-king-charles-tim-cook-joe-biden-jimmy-fallon-and-more">attend the event.</a>
Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/global/news/pope-francis-funeral-saturday-media-outlets-rome-1236374663/">reports</a> that the funeral will be held outdoors in front of St. Peter's Basilica. It is expected to draw a large audience of world leaders. In the days ahead, Catholics will also pay tribute to the pope before he is laid to rest.
Among the media companies expected to cover the funeral are Warner Bros Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) unit CNN, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) owned channel CBS and NBC, which is owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>). 
According to the report, the media companies have rented terrace space overlooking St. Peter's Square for the funeral.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are expected to attend.
The Vatican released images of Pope Francis since his death on Tuesday, showing the former leader in his wooden casket. The casket will be taken to St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday, where people can begin paying their respects for three days.
The last pope funeral was that of Pope Benedict XVI in 2022. Benedict had already stepped down from his role of pope in 2013. Hundreds of thousands of mourners paid tribute to Benedict in person ahead of his funeral.
In 2005, millions of mourners traveled to Rome to pay respects to Pope John Paul II, who was pope at the time of his death.
The funeral comes as the Catholic Church celebrates Holy Year. The event occurs every 25 years, and millions of Catholics travel to Vatican City as part of a pilgrimage.

Conclave to Follow: After the Pope's funeral, the selection process to pick the next leader known as conclave will take place two to three weeks later. The process will see 135 cardinals from different countries gather to select the next pope in the secretive process.
Following details of the pope's funeral, the conclave will likely begin between May 5 and May 10.
The selection process of a new pope could benefit prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. 
Polymarket listed odds for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/44913342/betting-odds-for-pope-francis-replacement-show-two-favorites-plus-this-global-event-has-mlb-bettors-backing-nick-castellanos-to-hit-home-runs">next pope yesterday</a>. It offers several betting markets, including the names, the continent from which the next pope comes, the date he will be selected, and more. 
Here are the <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-be-the-next-pope">current </a>betting odds for the next pope, with the odds from yesterday in parentheses.
<ul>
<li>Pietro Parolin: 31% (36%)</li>
<li>Luis Antonio Tagle: 23% (26%)</li>
<li>Matteo Zuppi: 11% (5%)</li>
<li>Peter Turkson: 9% (7%)</li>
<li>Peter Erdo: 9% (8%)</li>
</ul>
On Kalshi, the markets look similar with Parolin the favorite at 33% followed by Tagle at 22%. Polymarket&#8217;s ranking differs in that it has Erdo fifth, while Kalshi has Pierbattista Pizzaballa fifth.

Streaming platform Prime Video from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) could also benefit from the pope selection process. As of Tuesday, the platform is the home of "Conclave," a 2024 film from Focus Features.
After spending months on the Peacock streaming platform, which like Focus Features is owned by Comcast, the film is now streaming on Prime Video. It&#8217;s an opportunistic time for Prime Video, considering &#8220;Conclave&#8221; received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44067420/2025-academy-awards-how-to-watch-betting-odds-will-a-film-about-donald-trump-win-any-awards">eight Academy Award </a>nominations, including Best Picture.
While "Conclave" didn't take home the top honors at the ceremony, it will likely garner increased interest in the coming weeks.
