Morgan Stanley Upgrades Keurig Dr Pepper to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $40

Needham analyst Joshua Reilly reiterated a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TTGT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating</a> on the shares of TechTarget Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTGT#NASDAQ">TTGT</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $40.00 to $25.00.
TechTarget is expected to align its FY25 guidance with consensus estimates of $512 million in revenue (3.4% adjusted Y/Y growth) and $98 million in adjusted EBITDA, said the analyst.
Management is likely to remain cautious due to potential sales and marketing downturns and macroeconomic headwinds in early 2025. Integration progress and $25 million in cost synergies will be key topics, the analyst noted.

TechTarget is expected to report an in-line fourth-quarter, though management has not updated guidance to reflect one month of revenue from Informa Tech following the December 2nd merger.
Consensus revenue estimates of $78.5 million appear accurate, with Informa Tech contributing about $20 million.
Investors are likely focused on the timing of $25 million in cost synergies and the progress of Informa Tech&#8217;s integration.
They also seek clarity on how business segments will be structured. A new revenue segmentation may combine Brand &amp; Content with Intent &amp; Demand, while Intelligence &amp; Advisory could be reported separately, aligning with the updated investor presentation, opined the analyst.
TechTarget provides a unique B2B purchase intent marketing platform, leveraging first-party, privacy-compliant data from 150+ online properties.
Growth drivers include expanding its total addressable market beyond marketing teams, increased first-party data from the BrightTALK acquisition for cross-selling, and a projected rebound in global IT spending.
The updated price forecast is based on 17x EBITDA for the combined entity using consensus FY25 estimates.
Price Action: TTGT shares traded lower by 4.12% at $14.20 at last check Tuesday.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Intraday Session

Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane on Tuesday highlighted concerns over market volatility, declining consumer activity, and ongoing economic uncertainty within the auto parts retail sector, which are influencing th<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets" rel="noreferrer noopener">e overall outlook on a few major players in the niche industry.</a>
As a result, the analyst adjusted ratings for Genuine Parts Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPC#NYSE">GPC</a>) and AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>).
Here are the key takeaways from the analyst:
Genuine Parts: McShane downgraded the stock from Neutral to Sell, lowering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $133 to $114.</a>
The analyst writes that Genuine Parts is less well-positioned in the current market environment compared to peers like O&#8217;Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and AutoZone, mainly due to recent underperformance at its NAPA business, slowing trends in its European Automotive segment, and potential risks from its Industrial division in the face of an uncertain macro environment.
While Genuine Parts&#8217; guidance for FY25 suggests a stronger second half of the year, the analyst views this recovery as dependent on steady improvements in end-market demand, which may face downside risks, particularly if current trends continue to underperform management&#8217;s expectations.
The analyst observes that comparable trends at Genuine Parts&#8217; European Automotive business have weakened over the past year, with the potential for continued softness in the near term, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s performance in that segment going forward.
The analyst has revised the FY25 EPS estimate to $7.82, down from $7.94, reflecting a more cautious outlook for the second half of the year in terms of both sales and margins.
Additionally, the FY26 and FY27 EPS estimates have been lowered to $8.60 (from $9.09) and $9.55 (from $10.06), indicating ongoing concerns about future performance.
GPC shares are trading lower by 0.81% to $118.18 at last check Tuesday.

AutoZone: McShane upgraded AutoZone from Sell to Neutral, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AZO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $3,044 to $3,811.</a>
The analyst has upgraded the stock, citing the company&#8217;s defensively positioned business, which appears increasingly attractive in the current macroeconomic environment.
Per McShane, key factors include improvements in AutoZone&#8217;s &#8220;do it for me,&#8221; or DIFM business, a recovery in DIY trends, and the auto parts industry&#8217;s strong pricing power, which should help offset any potential tariff impacts.
Since being added to the Americas Sell list on October 14, 2024, AutoZone&#8217;s shares have risen 19.6%, outperforming the S&amp;P 500, which declined by 4.8%.
The analyst acknowledges that trends in AutoZone&#8217;s domestic business have improved, contrary to their previous view, with the company gaining market share and seeing resilient demand, particularly from its DIY customer base.
Meanwhile, the analyst also notes that AutoZone&#8217;s current valuation, based on its NTM EV/EBITDA, is above historical levels, indicating that investors are placing greater value on the company&#8217;s defensive positioning amid current market uncertainty.
The analyst has increased the FY25 EPS estimate to $148.36, up from $146.65, driven by slightly stronger domestic same-store sales growth and revised tax rate assumptions.
AZO shares are trading lower by 0.03% to $3,811.74 at last check Tuesday.

Tax season is here, and for many Americans, that means a tax refund is on the way. The IRS <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-season-statistics-for-week-ending-march-21-2025">reports</a> that the average tax refund so far this year is about $3,284, up 4.2% from last year's average.&nbsp;
And while $3,000 can feel like a financial windfall, personal finance expert Suze Orman advises that it's important to have a plan for spending your refund wisely. Here's what she suggests to make the most of your tax return:&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Boost Your Emergency Savings</h2>
Orman recommends that everyone aim to have enough <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44495703/do-not-waste-6500-that-you-do-not-have-suze-orman-warns-musician-against-buying-a-new-french-horn-when-his-take-home-pay-is-2900">emergency savings</a> set aside to cover at least three to six months of living expenses. If your emergency savings is lacking, using part of your refund to build it up can give you peace of mind and protect you from relying on credit cards or loans when unexpected expenses arise.
Orman suggests looking into high-yield savings accounts that offer bonuses or higher interest rates. "If there is a financial pressure point in your life, your tax refund…is a great opportunity to reduce that pressure," Orman says in her <a href="https://www.suzeorman.com/blog/Smart-Ways-to-Use-Your-Tax-Refund">blog</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Pay Down Credit Card Debt</h2>
If you're carrying a balance on your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43792861/have-your-own-individual-credit-cards-and-checking-accounts-suze-ormans-advice-on-keeping-finances-separate-in-marriage">credit cards</a>, using your refund to pay down that debt can save you a significant amount in interest over time. Many credit cards charge interest rates of 22% or higher, which can make it difficult to get ahead financially.
Paying down high-interest debt not only reduces the amount of money you lose to interest payments each month but also improves your overall financial flexibility. However, Orman advises that this strategy works best if you commit to avoiding new credit card debt moving forward.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Contribute to a Roth IRA</h2>
Orman says investing in your future is another smart way to use your tax refund. She recommends considering a contribution to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476776/this-53-year-old-is-losing-money-on-her-250k-roth-ira-suze-orman-says-do-this">Roth IRA</a>, which allows your money to grow tax-free.
In 2025, individuals with a modified adjusted gross income below $150,000, or below $236,000 for married couples filing jointly, can contribute up to $7,000 to a Roth IRA. If you're 50 or older, you're eligible to contribute up to $8,000. This approach allows you to grow your retirement savings while potentially reducing your future tax burden.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Invest in Yourself</h2>
Orman also suggests using your refund to invest in your skills or career. Taking a class or attending a workshop could help you qualify for a better job or increase your earning potential.
"Maybe it's something you are interested in as a new career or hobby. Or maybe you want to build your skills for work," Orman writes. "Investing in you is always smart."&nbsp;
If the course is work-related, your employer may even cover some or all of the costs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Create a Plan Before the Money Arrives</h2>
Orman emphasizes the importance of deciding how to use your refund before you receive it. Without a plan, the money can easily disappear on day-to-day expenses without making a meaningful impact on your financial future.
Taking the time to think about what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43403375/58-of-people-say-100000-a-year-is-the-bare-minimum-to-avoid-the-financial-stress-of-daily-life-heres-how-many-actually-earn-this">financial stressors</a> you face and how your refund can help reduce them can set you up for long-term success. Whether you're saving, investing, or paying down debt, a thoughtful strategy can help you make the most of your refund.

The Average Tax Refund Is $3,000—Suze Orman Says This is How to Spend It Wisely

F N B's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNB#NYSE">FNB</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.39 million shares sold short, which is 3.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.2 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, F N B's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.59%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Wells Fargo's Recent Short Interest

Looking into the current session, Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>) shares are trading at $165.75, after a 0.20% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 9.71%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 10.68%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743526822_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Simon Property Group P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Simon Property Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 107.49 of the Retail REITs industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743526822_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Movie theater operator AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) is betting big on premium screens to add to its revenue over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44562437/whats-going-on-with-amc-entertainment-stock-monday">next several years.</a>
The move comes with several of the top film franchises of all time having movies set for release.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42750888/top-anticipated-2025-movies-for-big-screen-success-and-stocks-investors-should-watch">2025 theatrical movie lineup </a>includes three Marvel films from Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and plenty of other highly anticipated movies from franchises of old and new.
While 2025 could have a strong post-COVID-19 box office total, AMC has its sights set on 2025, 2026 and 2027.
The company recently announced it was adding 40 Dolby Cinema theaters through the end of 2027. The new additions will bring AMC's total number of Dolby premium screens to more than 200, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/31/amc-premium-screens-hollywood-movies.html">CNBC</a>.
"Premium moviegoing is defining the modern box office," Dolby Laboratories CEO Kevin Yeaman said.
Dolby Laboratories Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLB#NYSE">DLB</a>) is one of several premium screen formats and partners with AMC.
AMC also recently announced a partnership with CJ 4DPLEX for 40 4DX theaters and 25 SCREENX theaters to be opened across the U.S. and Europe beginning in the summer of 2025. This marks the first partnership between the two companies.
The premium format movie screens being added come ahead of a strong movie lineup that AMC CEO Adam Aron has been highlighting for more than a year. From 2025 to 2027, new films will be released from the Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Avatar, Marvel, DC Comics and Mission Impossible franchises.
Premium large format screens come with a higher ticket price for consumers and a way for AMC to add to its overall revenue. PLFs made up around 9.1% of the 2024 domestic box office, representing a total of $600 million split between multiple theater companies.
AMC has over 900 movie theaters and 10,000 screens worldwide as the world's largest movie theater company. The newest bets on premium format screens could add to the company's excitement for the coming box office lineup.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43958798/amc-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-attendance-up-20-shares-climb">the fourth quarter</a>, AMC reported attendance of 62.42 million, which was up 20.2% year-over-year. The company also reported its highest fourth-quarter food and beverage per person revenue in company history.
With higher attendance and more revenue from premium screens, along with increasing food and beverage revenue, the next three years could be key to the AMC turnaround story.

AMC Post-COVID-19: For several years, Aron has discussed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38184776/amc-ceo-says-bankruptcy-is-inconceivable-as-shares-hit-52-week-lows-2025-2026-are-going-to-">post-COVID-19 recovery efforts</a> from AMC, which have included focusing on food and beverage and non-movie opportunities such as Taylor Swift concert films to offset less blockbuster movie releases.
A recent <a href="https://x.com/CEOAdam/status/1906823615737413781">tweet </a>from Aron mentioning the post-COVID-19 time period caught a reply of "the only CEO in the world still talking about covid!" from a social media user.
Aron felt the need to reply with "the facts" that people want to ignore.
"The industry-wide domestic box office in movie theatres was over $11 billion five years in a row pre-Covid. It was over $10 billion eleven years in a row pre-Covid," Aron said.
The CEO said the industry posted domestic box office of $8.8 billion in 2024, down over 20% from 2019 levels.
"When a high fixed cost industry like the movie theatre industry loses 20% of its revenue, its profits and cash balances plummet by far more."
Aron said the movie theater industry "has not fully recovered yet" and the recovery is taking longer than many expected or hoped.
"We are optimistic that a rising box office over the next year or two will be a great boon for AMC."
Aron also brushed off concerns about his salary in another <a href="https://x.com/CEOAdam/status/1907002331906077007">tweet</a>.
"I understand why you would be distraught if my salary was $23 million per year. Except that it isn't."
Aron said his salary is $1.5 million annually, as he has requested no raises. He is also paid cash bonuses related to company performance. The CEO said these amounts are less than one-third of his publicly reported total compensation, due to reporting of AMC share compensation.
"The bulk of my total compensation is in AMC stock."
Aron said he has not sold one share of AMC stock in more than three years. 
AMC Price Action: AMC stock is down 2.95% to $2.80 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $2.38 to $11.88. AMC stock is down 30.9% year-to-date in 2025.
