A Glimpse of Neogen's Earnings Potential

Neogen&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/neog#NASDAQ">NEOG</a>) vast international trade is impacted by global macroeconomic issues. Also, a tough competitive landscape weighs on the stock. NEOG stock carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Neogen&#39;s international business continues to be affected by currency movements.
The current macroeconomic environment has adversely impacted Neogen&#39;s financial operations. Governments and insurance companies continue to look for ways to contain the rising cost of healthcare. This might put pressure on players in the healthcare industry, with Neogen being no exception.&nbsp; Although the company is gradually coming out of the impact of the two-and-a-half-year-long pandemic, deteriorating international trade, with global inflationary pressure leading to a tough situation related to raw material and labor cost as well as freight charges, and a higher interest rate have put the medical device space in a tight spot.
With sustained macroeconomic pressure, the company may struggle to keep its cost of revenues and operating expenses in check. In fiscal 2024, sales and marketing expenses rose 29.5% year over year. Our model forecasts a 1.5% rise in the metric for fiscal 2025.
Further, Neogen faces intense competition from companies ranging from small businesses to divisions of large multinational companies. Some of these organizations have substantially greater financial resources than the company. Historically, Neogen has faced intense competition resulting from the development of new technologies by the company&#39;s competitors, which could affect the marketability and profitability of Neogen&#39;s products.
<h2>Factors That May Offset the Risks for NEOG Stock</h2>
Neogen is progressing well in terms of picking the right growth markets and gaining a bigger share of those markets. In the fiscal fourth quarter, the Indicator Testing, Culture Media &amp; Other product categories benefited from double-digit growth in the Petrifilm product line as well as solid growth in culture media and food quality nutritional analysis. Additionally, the Vet Instruments and Disposables product line witnessed solid core growth. In the Animal care and other product category, core growth was led by higher sales of vitamin injectables and Biologics products.

Neogen also continues to carry out its strong R&amp;D activities. During the fiscal fourth quarter, Neogen&#39;s R&amp;D expenses totaled $5.1 million, up sequentially 4.1%.
</div>
The company is expanding well in other geographies. The company is seeing double-digit sales growth in Latin America, with strong performance across most key product categories.&nbsp; The business in Europe and Asia Pacific grew in low single digits and mid-single digits, respectively, with strength in Culture media, Petrifilm, General Sanitation and Sample Handling.

The Animal Safety segment thrives from the successful consumables product line and also boasts a promising future in genomic services.

Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h3>Factors at Play</h3>
Progress in Long-Term Growth Strategy:&nbsp;Neogen focuses on boosting the sales of existing products, launching new products, expanding overseas and forming strategic alliances. The company is progressing well in terms of picking the right growth markets and gaining a bigger share of those markets. Their R&amp;D activities have been strong, having expensed $4.9 million in the fiscal third quarter.
Internationally, Neogen is witnessing improvements in sales across Europe, Latin America, Japan and China, banking on strong growth in Petrifilm, pathogens, sample handling and genomics. The company has advanced its food safety data analytics strategy by acquiring Corvium, the SaaS provider behind its software analytics platform.

The integration of the 3M Food Safety Division is on track, with the company completing the relocation of the former 3M pathogen detection product line and starting production in one of the Lansing facilities. Also, the final relocation of the sample handling production is expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year, with production likely to begin in the fiscal 2025 first quarter.
Bright Prospects of Animal Safety:&nbsp;Neogen&#39;s Animal Safety segment is gaining from the strong performances of a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors. Further, its genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatics services, too, are showing strong prospects.
The business continues to grow, led by sales of vet instruments and disposables and a new line of business with a large retail customer. Within the biosecurity portfolio, Neogen continues to grow solidly in cleaners, disinfectants and rodenticides. In the fiscal third quarter, revenues in the Animal Safety segment were $71.1 million, up 6.5% year over year. Following a period of a choppy scenario in terms of inventory level destocking, Animal Safety has started to witness a favorable trend.
Product Launches:&nbsp;The launch of the Molecular Detection Assay 2 &ndash; Salmonella Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium (MDA2SEST) kit is highly relevant for the poultry industry, expanding Neogen&#39;s pathogen detection assay offering. The company also launched Farm Fluid MAX in Great Britain, which is a dual-action disinfectant designed for challenging farm conditions. The new Veratox VIP assay for the detection of walnuts marks the third assay in Neogen&#39;s Veratox VIP line of enhanced quantitative ELISA products.
In January 2024, the company furthered its innovations with SureKill Gel Bait Pro Applicator, which allows users to easily target inconvenient and challenging areas while minimizing bait waste and innovating baiting protocols. Last year, Neogen launched Igenity Enhanced Dairy, a new and progressive genomic data management tool and debuted new genetic tests through Paw Print Genetics and Canine HealthCheck solutions.
<h3>Downsides</h3>
Global Economic Problems Dent Growth: The company&#39;s international business continues to be affected by currency movements. Governments and insurance companies are looking for ways to curb the rising cost of healthcare, potentially affecting healthcare industry players like Neogen. Furthermore, macroeconomic pressures such as deteriorating international trade, rising inflation, increased raw material, labor and freight costs, as well as higher interest rates, are posing challenges for the company in managing its cost of revenues and operating expenses.
Competitive Landscape Tough: Neogen faces intense competition from both small businesses to large multinational organizations with substantially greater financial resources. Historically, the development of new technologies by competitors has affected the marketability and profitability of the company&#39;s products.
<h3>Estimate Trend</h3>
In the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Neogen&#39;s earnings for fiscal 2024 has remained constant at 46 cents.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $912.7 million, which suggests a 10.9% rise from the fiscal 2023 reported number.

Here's Why Staying Invested in Neogen Could be Beneficial

Investors looking to dial up their risk-reward profile typically consider targeting small publicly traded enterprises that offer robust upside potential. Of course, the main threat to this  framework is volatility. While that risk can never be completely mitigated, the AlphaMark Actively Managed Small Cap ETF (SMCP) provides market speculators with a more sensible platform.  
Fundamentally, the SMCP exchange-traded fund offers two core advantages. Firstly, AlphaMark is actively managed, which means that the investment vehicle is guided by a professional. As market conditions change, the SMCP may navigate around certain pitfalls. Secondly, the ETF&nbsp; encompasses a wide range of individual enterprises. Therefore, no one company will completely sink the portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Generally, small-capitalization firms have not always performed well. One of the headwinds impacting the ecosystem have been elevated benchmark interest rates. According to Reuters1, small caps started surging in late 2023 – as reflected by the rising per-unit price of SMCP – due to speculation of incoming rate cuts. However, the acceleration eventually faded as inflationary pressures stubbornly stood their ground.  
Nevertheless, some relief in this department could possibly be on the way. Based on the latest information 2 from the Labor Department, while the number of new applicants for jobless claims decreased from the prior week, the total number of people requesting some form of government assistance increased. This dynamic suggests that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/06/39225961/job-market-booms-in-may-payrolls-surge-more-than-expected-wages-increase">red-hot labor market</a> is beginning to cool.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Naturally, the framework presents a possible incentivization for the Federal Reserve to present&nbsp; a more accommodative or dovish shift in monetary policy. If so, that could potentially reignite&nbsp; sentiment in small-cap entities, which may have a positive effect on SMCP.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Presently, the top holding of the fund is Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>), an omnichannel retailer of popular apparel brands. ANF represents 1.48% of the small-cap fund.&nbsp; Coming in second place is Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), an enterprise in the electronic components segment that provides optical packaging and precision manufacturing services. It carries a fund weighting of 1.38%.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Rounding out the top three is Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEOG#NASDAQ">NEOG</a>), which falls under the diagnostics and research sector of the healthcare ecosystem. It focuses on products and services dedicated to food and animal safety and features 1.31% of the SMCP ETF. Visit&nbsp; <a href="https://alphamarkadvisors.com/etf/" title="https://alphamarkadvisors.com/etf/">https://alphamarkadvisors.com/etf/</a> to obtain Top 10 holdings of SMCP ETF.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To be sure, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap">small-cap stocks</a> present a higher-risk profile than that of mid or especially large cap firms. Primarily, small caps simply require <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/05/38648713/as-large-cap-stocks-take-a-breather-and-the-spy-trades-sideways-will-small-cap-stocks-st">more due diligence</a>. Part of the reason is that because the underlying businesses tend to be relatively diminutive, not many analysts cover the space. As a result, there are likely to be informational gaps. These gaps can catch unprepared investors off guard yet this unpredictability also facilitates opportunities for upside.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The SMCP Chart: Since its public market debut in 2015, the SMCP ETF has returned 20%.&nbsp; Perhaps not surprisingly, the fund tends to be choppy, with some of the strongest players lifting the portfolio while downside performances in the least-promising names have caused snap volatility.&nbsp;&nbsp;
• Over the past 52 weeks, the SMCP is up around 20% based on closing prices. Since&nbsp; approximately early March, however, the ETF has entered into a sideways trend&nbsp; channel. That might present an entry point for prospective investors, especially as the&nbsp; market appears to be looking for its next big catalyst.&nbsp;&nbsp;
• At the moment, SMCP trades hands at $30.60. That's modestly above its 50-day moving average, which comes in at $30.49. However, the fund is also a hair below its 20 DMA&nbsp; (Displaced Moving Average), which stands at $30.77. Notably, an upside resistance line has materialized at the $31 level. That would be the next logical target for the fund to cross.&nbsp;&nbsp;
• A support line has been established at the $30 level. That's also a psychologically satisfying whole number that the bulls need to maintain. Bearish traders will attempt to drive down the price below this key threshold, which could trigger automated sell orders.&nbsp;&nbsp;
• A big acquisition volume spike that flashed on the June 17 session will offer encouragement to the optimists, especially as they wait for news that could benefit small caps, such as an accommodative (dovish) monetary policy.

When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the&nbsp; Underlying Shares. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.
