10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

AeroVironment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVAV#NASDAQ">AVAV</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the United States Army lifted a stop work order related to a contract for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVAV">company&#8217;s Switchblade systems</a>.
What Happened: The U.S. Army has lifted the stop work order it issued on the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract related to AeroVironment&#8217;s Switchblade systems. The contract has a total ceiling value of $990 million.
AeroVironment said it can now work to fulfill the $128 million delivery order issued under the contract. The company noted that the lifting of the stop work order will not affect the&nbsp;U.S. Government Accountability Office's consideration of the protest filed earlier this month challenging the award of the contract to the company.
AeroVironment reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40718911/aerovironment-delivers-strong-q1-earnings-results-but-stock-slides-on-soft-guidance">first-quarter earnings results</a> earlier this month. The company said at the time that it continues to expect full-year 2025 revenue to be between $790 million and $820 million, and full-year adjusted earnings to be between $3.18 and $3.49 per share.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AVAV A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
When deciding whether to buy a stock, there are some key fundamentals investors may want to consider. One of these factors is revenue growth. Buying a stock is essentially a bet that the business will continue to grow and generate profits in the future. AeroVironment has reported average annual revenue growth of 19.99% over the past five years. 
It's also important to pay attention to valuation when deciding whether to buy a stock. AeroVironment has a forward P/E ratio of 57.8. This means investors are paying $57.8 for each dollar of expected earnings in the future. The average forward P/E ratio of AeroVironment's peers is 32.14.
Other important metrics to look at include a company's profitability, balance sheet, performance relative to a benchmark index and valuation compared to peers. For in-depth analysis tools and important financial data, check out <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a>.

Raymond James Downgrades AeroVironment to Market Perform

AeroVironment shares are trading lower after announcing a protest has been filed with the U.S. government accountability office to challenge the U.S. army's decision to award a contract to the company. The U.S. Army has issued a stop work order on the contract.

The U.S. Army has issued a stop work order on the contract and the delivery order issued thereunder while the protest is being considered by the GAO. This stop work order does not impact any of the Company&rsquo;s other contracts or commitments, including those related to its Loitering Munitions systems.
It is currently expected that the GAO will issue a decision on the protest no later than December&nbsp;16, 2024.

AeroVironment Says A Protest Has Been Filed With US Government Accountability Office Challenging US Army's Decision On August 27 To Award Contract To Company; US Army Has Issued Stop Work Order On The Contract

AeroVironment (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avav#NASDAQ">AVAV</a>) closed the last trading session at $179.47, gaining 2% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $225.17 indicates a 25.5% upside potential.
The average comprises six short-term price targets ranging from a low of $210 to a high of $245, with a standard deviation of $12.50. While the lowest estimate indicates an increase of 17% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 36.5% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That&#39;s because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.
But, for AVAV, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company&#39;s ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn&#39;t gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.
<h2>Here&#39;s What You May Not Know About Analysts&#39; Price Targets</h2>
According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company&#39;s fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock&#39;s price movement. While that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
<h2>Here&#39;s Why There Could be Plenty of Upside Left in AVAV</h2>
Analysts&#39; growing optimism over the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That&#39;s because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 1% over the past month, as one estimate has gone higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, AVAV currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock&#39;s potential upside in the near term.
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much AVAV could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

The September slump will likely continue as the index futures are sharply lower early Wednesday. Traders will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40696921/traders-bet-aggressively-on-rate-cuts-ahead-of-jobs-data-5-etfs-to-watch-this-week">wait and watch to see how the labor market data,</a> due for the week, pan out and their implications for the Fed funds rate. Wharton Professor and WisdomTree Chief Economist Jeremy Siegel said the report will decide whether the cut is going to be 25 basis points or double as much.
Tech stocks were lower in premarket trading, with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) down over 1%. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, spiked nearly 10% to $22.76. The Labor Department&#8217;s job opening data and the Beige Book and a few earnings reports are also on traders&#8217; radar. If these rule out a recession, traders may go bargain hunting to take advantage of Tuesday&#8217;s pullback.

Cues From Last Session:
A tech tumble that morphed into a broader market weakness dragged stocks sharply lower on Tuesday, with a trio of weak data serving as a trigger. The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index and S&amp;P Global&#8217;s final manufacturing PMI came in worse than expected and the Commerce Department said construction spending fell more than expected in July. The string of negative data reignited recession talks, pushing traders on the defensive.
The averages opened lower and fell sharply in early trading. The sell-off continued despite a slower momentum for the remainder of the session. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite settled at the lowest level since Aug. 12 and the S&amp;P 500 at a two-week low. All three indices fell by the most since the Aug. 5 global sell-off.
IT, communication services, energy, industrial and material stocks came under intense selling pressure, while defensive real estate and consumer staple stocks bucked the downtrend.

Insights From Analysts:
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s U.S. equity strategy team recommends focusing on defensive businesses that prioritize operational efficiency or have durable pricing power, or both. The team led by the firm&#8217;s Chief Equity Strategist Mike Wilson noted that cyclical and defensive stocks have failed to rebound materially, while lower-beta stocks continued to show very &#8220;resilient performance&#8221; amid the mixed data on both the macro and micro front.
Wilson called for better-than-expected non-farm payroll gains of 185,000 for August and a dip in the jobless rate to 4.2%.
Carson Group Chief Investment Strategist Ryan Detrick shared a premonitory historical trend. Sharing data that showed the second half of September grossly outperforming, he said, &#8220;September isn&#8217;t usually a good month for stocks, but remember it is the second half when the real trouble starts.&#8221;

Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee said investors should be cautious about the next eight weeks, from September until the election day. In an interview with CNBC, he said he sees the weakness as a &#8220;chance to buy,&#8221; and said investors should be ready to buy the dip.
Upcoming Economic Data:
