Needham analyst John Todaro maintained CompoSecure Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMPO#NASDAQ">CMPO</a>) with a Buy and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMPO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$16&nbsp;to&nbsp;$15</a>.
On Wednesday, CompoSecure reported <a target="_blank" href="https://ir.composecure.com/financial-information/quarterly-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $101 million versus Todaro&#8217;s $103 million and street&#8217;s $102 million. Quarterly EBITDA was $34 million compared to Todaro&#8217;s $32 million and street&#8217;s $31 million.

The quarterly adjusted EPS was $0.20 compared to Todaro&#8217;s $0.18 estimate and the street&#8217;s $0.18.
CompoSecure reported a modest fourth-quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA beat, driven by lower than expected cash SG&amp;A (ex-~$10 million of one-time earnout &amp; spin-off costs), while gross profit was in line as softer topline was offset by higher margins.
Todaro gained more comfort around the Resolute spin, with management&#8217;s reassured focus on CompoSecure, but M&amp;A remains a patient process.
The analyst liked the revenue clarity on Arculus, which turned profitable in the fourth quarter (+$3.5 million adjusted EBITDA contribution).
He lowered his fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA to $145 million ($157 million previously), which matches guidance for mid-single-digit percentage topline and adjusted EBITDA growth (includes ~$12 million headwind management fees paid to Resolute Holdings at 2.5% of last 12 months adjusted EBITDA less SBC), which starts in the first quarter of 2025.
Todaro projected first-quarter revenue of $101 million and EPS of $0.15.
Price Action: CMPO stock is down 2% at $11.75 at the last check on Thursday.

CompoSecure Beats EBITDA Estimates But Analyst Cuts Price Forecast Amid Resolute Spin-Off And Growth Outlook

The shares of Valero Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) and Marathon Petroleum Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) have been crushed over the past month. Both have dropped nearly 20%. This is due to the sell-off in oil.
But they may be about to reverse and rally. This is why they are our Stocks of the Day.
Technical analysis is misunderstood by many analysts and traders. They try to identify patterns on charts without understanding the price action that causes them to form. But if technical analysis is viewed through the prism of psychology, it becomes much easier to understand.
As an example, double top and triple top patterns indicate a possible reversal. In a double top, a stock makes two peaks before reversing and heading lower. In a triple top, there are three peaks.
A peak can form at a price that was previously a peak because there are people who bought it who regretted doing so when the price dropped after. When the price returns to the peak price, they sell so they can exit their positions without losing money.

If there are a large number of sellers, it will create resistance at the level once more.
The opposite of a double top is a double bottom. This is a reversal pattern that suggests the stock heads higher.
A stock can find a bottom at a price that was a bottom before. As you can see, it may be about to happen with both Valero and Marathon.
There can be support at a former support level because of regretful sellers. They decided their decision to sell while the stock was at support was a mistake when the price went higher. Many want to buy their shares back assuming they can pay the same price they were sold at.
As a result, when the price drops back to sell price, buy orders are placed. If there are enough orders, it creates support.
Sometimes stocks rally off of support. This is a common occurrence and may happen here.
Buyers may become aggressive and start to outbid each other because they don't want to miss out. This could result in a snowball effect that forces Valero and Marathon stocks higher.

<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.

<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.

What's Going On With IonQ Stock Today?

중국 전기 자동차 제조사 니오(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>)는 이달 말까지 대중 시장을 겨냥한 새로운 모델을 출시할 예정이며, 내년에 유럽에서 30,000달러 미만의 가격으로 판매될 소형 EV도 선보일 예정이라고 한다.
니오는 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)의 모델 Y를 겨냥한 새로운 EV를 출시하기 위해 하위 브랜드 온보(Onvo)를 설립했다고 최고경영자(CEO)인 윌리엄 리(William Li)가 확인했다고 로이터 통신이 보도했다.
파리에서 열린 프랑스-중국 비즈니스 포럼에서 프랑스 총괄 책임자인 니콜라스 빈셀로(Nicolas Vincelot)는 유럽 시장에 맞춘 새로운 자동차 브랜드 출시 계획을 공개했다고 이 보도에 언급했다.
이 온보 브랜드를 위한 새 웹사이트가 중국에서 최초로 공개되었는데 이는 L60이라는 모델에 대한 정보를 티저로 내비친 것이다.
빈셀로는 이전에 &#8220;알프스(Alps)&#8221;로 알려진 브랜드에 대한 추가 정보가 이달 말까지 나올 것으로 예상했다.
온보와 두 번째 하위 브랜드인 코드명 파이어플라이(Firefly)는 모두 유럽 판매를 겨냥하고 있으며 온보 L60은 연말까지 전 세계적으로 출시될 예정이며 파이어플라이 모델은 2025년 공개될 예정이다.
추가 읽어볼만한 기사: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38634943/teslas-chinese-rivals-conquer-overseas-markets-at-crazy-growth-rates-as-domestic-sales-sputter-no-su" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">테슬라를 누르고 세계 1위가 된 중국의 전기차 회사들</a>
이 브랜드들은 빠른 배터리 교체에 적합하게 니오의 빠른 배터리 교환 스테이션과 통합될 예정으로, 이로 인해 배터리가 다 빈 것으로 바꿀 때마다 충전된 배터리로 빠르게 교환할 수 있다고 이 보도는 밝혔다.
중국의 자동차 미디어가 소개한 파이어플라이 프로토타입은 콤팩트한 4도어 해치백이라는 모습을 하고 있다.
경쟁사인 샤오펑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>)도 2만 1,000달러 이하로 가격이 책정된 자동차에 자율주행 기능을 탑재한 ‘모나(Mona)&#8217;라는 대중 판매 브랜드를 출시할 계획이다.
빈셀로는 니오가 원래 구독 모델에서 온라인 판매 및 주요 도시의 쇼룸 존재를 포함하여 더 광범위한 유통으로 전환했다는 점에 주목했다.
유럽에서 니오는 노르웨이, 덴마크, 스웨덴, 독일 및 네덜란드에서 판매를 시작했다.
이 회사는 지난해 직원 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35586366/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-reacts-to-report-of-nio-job-cuts-sounds-like-theyre-having-tough-times" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10%</a> 감축을 발표하고 배터리 제조 부문 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36107946/why-ev-giant-nio-stock-is-gaining-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">분사</a>를 모색하는 등 EV 판매 감소와 중국 내 가격 경쟁 심화로 인해 비용을 절감해 왔다.
니오의 주가는 지난 12개월 동안 31% 이상 하락했다. 투자자들은 KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGRN#NYSE">KGRN</a>)와 Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 노출될 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 월요일 니오 주가는 2.15% 상승한 5.69달러에 마감했다.
