H. B. Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected&nbsp;third-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41034261/h-b-fuller-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">results and revised its FY24 guidance downwards.</a>
Net revenue of $917.93 million missed the consensus of $944.3 million. Organic revenue experienced modest growth, with pricing adjustments causing a 2.6% decline and volume contributing a 3.0% increase.
Adjusted gross profit was $279 million, with an adjusted gross profit margin of 30.4%, representing a 40 basis point increase from the previous year.&nbsp;
Gross profit was driven by volume leverage, restructuring savings, and benefits from acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA rose 6% Y/Y to $165 million, fueled by volume growth, restructuring savings, and advantages from recent acquisitions, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 70 basis points Y/Y to 18.0%.
Adjusted EPS of $1.13 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the consensus of $1.23</a>.
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024, net debt stood at $1.890 billion. The company repurchased 225,000 shares during the quarter.
FY24 Outlook: H.B. Fuller reduced its adjusted EPS forecast to $4.10 &#8211; $4.20 (prior view $4.20&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4.45), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to the consensus of $4.37</a>.
Also, the company projects net revenue growth of around 2% (prior view: up&nbsp;2%&nbsp;to&nbsp;4%), with organic revenue remaining flat (prior flat to up&nbsp;2%) year-on-year for the year.
H.B. Fuller President and CEO Celeste Mastin said, &#8220;Our volume growth during the quarter was impacted by slowing market demand in certain durable goods markets in EA, and we are adjusting our full year outlook accordingly.&#8221;
&#8221;While this quarter&#8217;s volume growth was at the low end of our expectations, we have a clear and focused strategy and a highly engaged team that is well equipped to execute and drive business success. We remain on track to deliver upon our long-term EBITDA margin and organic growth targets.&#8221;
Price Action: FUL shares are down 6.98% at $75.00 premarket at the last check Thursday.

Top 3 Materials Stocks You'll Regret Missing This Quarter

Micron, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41034733/micron-q4-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-on-robust-ai-demand-company-sees-significantly-improved-profita">earnings</a> could revitalize the sagging market momentum, with the index futures trading notably higher early Thursday. The risk-on mood was evident across the global markets as China&#8217;s commitment to stimulate the domestic economy encouraged traders. The markets also have several Main Street catalysts to consider, including weekly jobless claims data and inflation measures from the second-quarter GDP report. A slew of Federal Reserve officials are due to make speeches, which could potentially offer clues toward the interest-rate trajectory.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Tuesday&#8217;s session on a mixed note, as wary traders either stepped to the sidelines or took some profits off the table ahead of the flurry of data due over the next two days and Micron&#8217;s earnings that came out after the market closed. IT and utility stocks rose, while the remaining 11 sector classes pulled back. Energy and healthcare stocks were among the worst performers of the session.
The Nasdaq Composite ended marginally higher, advancing for a third straight session, while the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Industrials retreated from their record highs.

Insights From Analysts:
The market could remain lackadaisical until the election, according to Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee. The Fed rate cut is historically positive three to six months out but what stocks do in the next month is a bit of a coin flip, the strategist <a href="https://x.com/CNBCClosingBell/status/1839029917742219408">said</a> in an interview with CNBC. 
Some repositioning took place and the market is now looking ahead to the election, which is just 40 days away, he said. 
Lee noted that most wealth managers and family offices he spoke to hinted at unwillingness to commit capital until after election day. &#8220;I don't think it matters who wins; It&#8217;s just they want to get that event behind,&#8221; he added.
The strategist said in election years, the November and December rallies are pretty tremendous, and when the gains are over 10% in the first half of the year, the November-December rallies get bigger, he said. &#8220;I am bullish into year-end but I'm a little less confident about how markets behave into election day and not that I think we're going to have a huge drawdown,&#8221; he added. 
&#8220;I also don't think we can make new highs and then see the market blast off after election day. So I'd rather sort of say things look a lot better after election day,&#8221; Lee said.
A Morgan Stanley strategist looked ahead to what&#8217;s in store after the first rate cut in the current monetary policy cycle. Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Lisa Shalett said corporate fundamentals will now need to come into sharper focus, though expectations are already ambitious.
Given this backdrop, she advised investors to consider reducing ultra-short and money market positions in favor of locking in longer-dated rates. The equal-weighted S&amp;P 500 Index may provide better risk-adjusted exposure than its market-cap-weighted counterpart, she said. The strategist also flagged financial services, industrials, energy, healthcare and materials, as well as parts of technology such as software as compelling opportunities. Defensive ideas in residential REITs and utilities, and non-U.S. assets also could work in the current environment, she said.

Micron Technology, Accenture And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

WIIM

H.B. Fuller shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results and issued FY24 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

H.B. Fuller Sees FY24 Adj. EPS $4.10-$4.20 Vs 4.37 Est.

H.B. Fuller (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $1.13 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.23 by 8.13 percent. The company reported quarterly sales of $917.927 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $944.252 million by 2.79 percent. This is a 1.92 percent increase over sales of $900.634 million the same period last year.

H.B. Fuller Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $1.13 Misses $1.23 Estimate, Sales $917.927M Miss $944.252M Estimate

After<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41018169/s-p-500-hits-fresh-record-high-amid-surge-in-nvidia-shares-investor-sentiment-improves-further-fear"> resiliently resisting selling pressure, </a>the market could be in for some weakness on Wednesday as traders position themselves defensively ahead of the key Main Street catalysts for the rest of the week. The index futures are modestly lower early Wednesday. Traders may not have much to look forward to in terms of data as merely the routine weekly mortgage application data and new homes sales report for August are due for the session.
It would be interesting to see if the week mortgage applications volume data will receive a boost from the recent pullback in mortgage rates ahead and amid the Fed rate cut. Micron Technology Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) earnings report is in the spotlight as traders strive to gauge artificial intelligence technology-related demand.

In premarket trading on Wednesday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 0.07% to $570.92 and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) moved down 0.19% to $484.46, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Tuesday&#8217;s session higher yet again despite some nervous moments in early trading on the back of the September consumer confidence reading that unexpectedly fell. Following the data, Jamie Cox, Managing Partner at Harris Financial Group, said, &#8220;It&#8217;s never good to see consumer confidence fall this much.&#8221;
The strategist attributed the weak consumer confidence to concerns about the implications of the upcoming election, the increasing conflict around the world, and the stubbornly high cost of food and credit. The 50 basis-point Fed funds rate cut last week seemed more correct in light of these data, he added.
The major indices opened higher but reversed course after the data. After hitting a bottom in late-morning trading, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and the broader S&amp;P 500 Index bounced back in a V-shaped recovery before moving sideways in the afternoon. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) ended up nearly 4%, providing a shot in the arm the these two indices, and China&#8217;s stimulus measures also kept the risk-on mood intact.
The Nasdaq Composite ended at the 18K+ level for the first time since time since late-July. The S&amp;P 500 hit fresh intraday and closing highs.
Despite seeing volatility throughout the session, the 30-stock Dow Industrials Average also clocked new intraday and closing highs.

Insights From Analysts:
With Sept. 22, the first day of autumn, now in the rearview mirror, the historically rough month for the market is nearly over, said LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist. With less than five trading sessions remaining before October, stocks are on track to outperform historical averages for September, barring any major market-moving events, he said. 
The strategist noted that the S&amp;P 500 is up 1.2% month-to-date, compared to the average decline of 0.7% since 1950. The declines in the past four years are at 4.9%, 9.3%, 4.8%, and 3.9%, respectively.
This bodes well for the fourth quarter, Turnquist said. &#8220;Based on historical performance for the S&amp;P 500, strong performance and momentum in the first nine months of the year could signal more gains ahead,&#8221; he said. Over the last 75 years, the fourth quarter has generated negative returns only eight times when momentum was strong during the first three quarters, he said.
Even In four of those eight years, returns in October–December were only slightly lower, in the range of 0% and -1.5%, Turnquist said. The largest fourth-quarter decline after positive performance through September came in 1987, which includes the infamous "Black Monday" market crash on October 19, when the S&amp;P 500 famously shed over 20% in one day, he added.
Looking ahead, the analyst sees Fed policy decisions, a much-anticipated Presidential election, and third-quarter earnings as major market catalysts.

US Stocks May Stall After S&P 500 Hits Another Record; Micron Earnings, Meta Connect On Traders' Radar: Why This Strategist Is Optimistic About Q4

Investors with an interest in Chemical - Specialty stocks have likely encountered both H. B. Fuller (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ful#NYSE">FUL</a>) and CSW Industrials (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cswi#NASDAQ">CSWI</a>). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let&#39;s take a closer look.
Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
H. B. Fuller and CSW Industrials are both sporting a Zacks Rank of # 2 (Buy) right now. This means that both companies have witnessed positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that both of these stocks have an improving earnings outlook. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company&#39;s fair value.
FUL currently has a forward P/E ratio of 17.97, while CSWI has a forward P/E of 36.10. We also note that FUL has a PEG ratio of 1.28. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company&#39;s expected earnings growth rate. CSWI currently has a PEG ratio of 2.41.
Another notable valuation metric for FUL is its P/B ratio of 2.41. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock&#39;s market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, CSWI has a P/B of 7.28.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to FUL&#39;s Value grade of B and CSWI&#39;s Value grade of D.
Both FUL and CSWI are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that FUL is the superior value option right now.

FUL vs. CSWI: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?

Acquisition strengthens and expands position in the global specialty construction tapes market and creates new opportunities for engineering adhesives solutions
H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>), the largest pureplay adhesives company in the world, today announced that it has acquired HS Butyl Limited (HS Butyl), the UK's largest manufacturer and distributor of high-quality butyl tapes, which provide strong, permanent, watertight seals for a wide variety of applications within the construction, infrastructure, automotive and renewable energy industries.
The acquisition ─ which is a continuation of H.B. Fuller's strategy to deliver adjusted EBITDA margin of 20 percent in the next three to five years ─ advances one of the company's top 20 technology-based growth segments and uniquely positions H.B. Fuller to accelerate its expansion into the $15 billion global waterproofing tape market, which includes butyl tape technologies.

H.B. Fuller Acquires HS Butyl Limited; No Financial Terms Disclosed

General

H.B. Fuller shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 sales results and revised its FY24 adjusted EPS guidance.

The two-day rally the broader market witnessed could stall, as traders choose to remain cautious ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/06/39513292/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-set-to-drop-to-38-month-low-this-could-provide-the">a string of economic catalysts. </a>The negative reaction to Micron Technology, Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) earnings could generate weakness in the tech space. AI stalwart Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) two-day rally is cooling off following its annual shareholder meeting. Bond yields have ticked up, with the 10-year-old Treasury yield holding above the 4.3% mark.
Traders may bide their time amid the fluid situation in a bid to see off late Thursday&#8217;s presidential debate and Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge due on Friday.

Stocks closed higher on Wednesday although sentiment remained lackluster throughout the session amid caution. The major averages opened lower and the tech strength kept the Nasdaq Composite Index mostly above the unchanged line but the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded mostly below the flat line before recovering by the close of the session.
Most S&amp;P 500 sector stocks ended weaker, while consumer discretionary stocks found strong buying interest. IT and communications stocks rose modestly.
On the Main Street front, new home sales came in weaker than expected, although one could take comfort from the fact that previous months&#8217; readings were upwardly revised. House prices remained weak.

Insights From Analysts:
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Matt Wilson advised against the temptation to play for a true broadening out until the macro environment makes a meaningful shift. &#8220;The ongoing policy mix of heavy fiscal spending and tight interest rate policy is crowding out many companies and consumers in a way that is unsustainable in our view,&#8221; he said.
Investors are therefore bidding up the few stocks of the companies that are doing well in this environment, Wilson said. &#8220;Until the bond market pushes back via higher term premium or growth slows down in a more meaningful way, we expect this narrow market performance to persist,&#8221; he added.
The strategist said he continues to recommend a &#8220;barbell of large-cap quality growth with defensives while fading cyclicals.&#8221;
On the other hand, Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee expects the momentum to continue for multiple years. The S&amp;P 500 Index can compound at more than 15% annually over the next seven years and hit 15,000 by 2030, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39519696/fundstrats-tom-lee-predicts-s-p-500-will-hit-15-000-by-2030-driven-by-gen-z-and-ai-wave">he said in an interview </a>with CNBC. His optimism is predicated on favorable demographics, ie millennials and Gen X driving growth in prime-age works, and AI driving a surge in demand for U.S. technology.
Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The Bureau of Economic Analysis is scheduled to release its final first-quarter GDP estimate at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect quarter-over-quarter GDP growth to be revised up from 1.3% to 1.4%. Traders may also keep an eye on the inflation components of the report.</li>
<li>The Census Bureau will release the durable goods orders report for May at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimate calls for a 1% month-over-month drop in durable goods orders, reversing all of the 0.6% growth in April. Core durable goods orders that strip off transportation orders may have increased by 0.2%, half as much as the growth seen in the previous month.</li>
<li>The National Association of Realtors&#8217; pending home sales index, due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to show a 0.4% month-over-month drop for May versus April&#8217;s 7.7% fall. </li>

Notwithstanding the tech strength, the underlying sentiment is likely to be one of caution ahead of some key market-moving economic catalysts scheduled for the next two sessions. The Nvidia Corp.

The Federal Reserve&#8217;s favorite inflation gauge, more Fed speeches, consumer sentiment data and durables goods order are among the key reports due on Thursday and Friday. More importantly, traders may also focus on the presidential debate that is scheduled for late Thursday.

Insights From Analysts:
Fund manager Louis Navellier is confident of the tech rally continuing. &#8220;Being underweight in tech remains a contrarian bet,&#8221; he said in a note to clients. &#8220;With the end of the quarter this week, we will shortly get another round of earnings which may give new perspectives on earnings momentum, but may also reemphasize the concentration at the top, as the AI theme gains momentum,&#8221; he said.
Carson Group&#8217;s Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick pointed to a historical trend that is positive for the market. Since 1950, the market has never peaked in June, he said.

Nasdaq, S&P 500 Set To Open Higher On Nvidia Prop, FedEx Earnings, But Traders Could Move To Sidelines Ahead Of Key Data: Analyst Says Underweighting Techs 'Contrarian Bet'

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he still can't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38683629/twilio-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-buyback-update-and-more">recommend Twilio (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWLO#NASDAQ">TWLO</a>)</a>.
On June 14, Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock from Overweight to Equal-Weight and lowered its price target from $70 to $60.
Cramer said Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) is a &#8220;momentum stock, and momentum stocks can't really withstand that kind of drop. That said, I do think that it's the sweet spot of the energy market.&#8221; The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said he prefers Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>).
On May 30, Vistra announced plans to add up to 2,000 megawatts of dispatchable, natural-gas-fueled power capacity in West, Central, and North Texas.
When asked about Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), he said, &#8220;Anything Covid is not really making a lot of money for people. I do believe that that was a very lucky break for them, but it's not going to get me into that stock.&#8221;
On June 14, Novavax submitted application to the FDA for updated protein-based 2024-2025 formula COVID-19 vaccine.
Cramer recommended buying H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>). &#8220;It's a great little industrial company,&#8221; he noted.
H.B. Fuller is expected to report its financial results for the three-month fiscal period ended June 1, after the closing bell on June 26.
Cramer recommended staying away from Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/U#NYSE">U</a>). &#8220;That is just a falling knife,&#8221; he added.
On June 10, Stifel analyst Parker Lane maintained Unity Software with a Buy and lowered the price target from $30 to $25.
When asked about SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), he said, &#8220;Right now, that last quarter was not great. I just didn't like it. And I'm going to have to wait.&#8221;
On June 3, SoFi Technologies announced the appointment of Stephen Simcock as general counsel.
Cramer said he doesn't know about Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMBP#NYSE">AMBP</a>).
On April 25, Ardagh Metal Packaging reported better-than-expected first-quarter adjusted EPS results.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Twilio shares fell 2.6% to settle at $54.24 on Friday.</li>
<li>Vistra shares fell 0.9% to close at $87.59 during Friday's session.</li>
