Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Packaging Corp of America, Raises Price Target to $221

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock&#39;s recent trend in either direction. In the &#39;long&#39; context, investors will be essentially be &quot;buying high, but hoping to sell even higher.&quot; With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock&#39;s price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Packaging Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pkg#NYSE">PKG</a>), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It&#39;s also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Packaging Corp. Currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.
<h2>Set to Beat the Market?</h2>
In order to see if PKG is a promising momentum pick, let&#39;s examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this maker of containerboard and corrugated packaging products holds up.
Looking at a stock&#39;s short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It&#39;s also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.
For PKG, shares are up 1.25% over the past week while the Zacks Containers - Paper and Packaging industry is up 2.38% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 4.46% compares favorably with the industry&#39;s 1.77% performance as well.
While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Shares of Packaging Corp. Have increased 16.62% over the past quarter, and have gained 42.83% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&amp;P 500 has only moved 4.57% and 31.09%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to PKG&#39;s average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. PKG is currently averaging 512,829 shares for the last 20 days.
<h2>Earnings Outlook</h2>
The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock&#39;s price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with PKG.
Over the past two months, 5 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost PKG&#39;s consensus estimate, increasing from $8.50 to $8.72 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 5 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that PKG is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you&#39;ve been searching for a fresh pick that&#39;s set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Packaging Corp. On your short list.

Shares of Karat Packaging, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/krt#NASDAQ">KRT</a>) have lost 8.5% since the company reported lower-than-expected second-quarter 2024 revenues and earnings per share on Aug 8, 2024. The quarterly adjusted EPS of 49 cents missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents and declined 29% year over year.

Including one-time items, EPS was 45 cents compared with the year-ago quarter&#39;s 53 cents.
Total revenues increased 3.5% year over year to $112.6 million. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $114 million. The increase primarily reflected higher volumes, a change in product mix and the inclusion of online sales platform fees. This was partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year pricing comparison.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Packaging Corp of America, Raises Price Target to $215

U.S. stock markets tumbled on Jul 24, following weaker-than-expected earnings results of a couple of so-called &quot;Magnificent 7&quot; stocks. The three major stock indexes &mdash; the Dow, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite &mdash; plummeted 1.3% (504.22 points), 2.3% (128.61 points) and 3.6% (654.94 points), respectively. The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite posted their worst single-day performance since 2022.
Wall Street witnessed an impressive bull run in the past 19 months, barring some minor fluctuations. The rally was predominantly driven by big technology stocks, buoyed by the astonishing adoption of generative artificial intelligence globally. Consequently, several AI-centric stocks skyrocketed 200-300% during this period.
However, the situation started changing this month as investors&#39; preferences shifted from highly overvalued technology stocks to beaten-down rate-sensitive cyclical stocks. This happened after market participants&#39; expectations of two Fed rate cuts of 25 basis points this year jumped to more than 90%.
In addition, lower-than-expected earnings of AI-centric big tech stocks rattled investors&#39; sentiment on whether these companies will be able to deliver in the near future in order to support their overstretched valuations.&nbsp;
We believe, the market may remain volatile in the near future as a lot of big tech stocks are yet to report quarterly financial results. Any deviation from the market&#39;s expectations with respect to any metric (financial or operational) will result in volatility.
At this stage, investment in low-beta stocks with a high dividend yield and a favorable Zacks Rank may be the best option. If markets regain momentum, the favorable Zacks Rank of these stocks will capture the upside potential. However, if the downtrend continues, low-beta stocks will minimize portfolio losses and dividend payments will act as a regular income stream.&nbsp;
<h3>Our Top Picks</h3>
We have narrowed our search to five low-beta (beta &gt;0 &lt;1) stocks with a solid dividend yield. These companies have strong growth potential for the rest of 2024 and have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the past 30 days. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks year to date.

Significant value embedded in the in-force business should generate predictable long-term earnings. RGA is poised to benefit from improving life reinsurance pricing environment and higher investment income. A solid solvency position reflects RGA&#39;s ability to make interest payments.

Contributions from buyouts, and a healthy portfolio of royalty and streaming agreements will aid the company&#39;s growth. Even though FNV has been facing lower output due to the production halt in Cobre Panama, it is likely to be offset by FNV&#39;s continued focus on cost management.&nbsp;
FNV has a debt-free balance sheet and uses its free cash flow to expand the portfolio and pay dividends. Gold prices have been on an uptrend this year, aided by geopolitical reasons, a depreciating U.S. dollar, the potential for monetary policy easing and continuous purchasing by central banks.&nbsp;

Stocks went racing higher on Monday as traders assessed the implications of President Joe Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the race and looked ahead optimistically to the week&#8217;s earnings report. Beaten-down tech stocks spearheaded the recovery on a day when most S&amp;P 500 sector indices, barring energy and consumer staples, advanced. 
The major averages opened higher, with the Nasdaq Composite Index and the S&amp;P 500 Index moving roughly sideways with strong gains for the rest of the session. In the process, the former broke back above the 18,000 barrier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced some volatility in the morning before moving decisively into the positive terrain and ending modestly higher. 
Small-caps resumed their rally, with the Russell 2,000 Index outperforming the major averages.

Insights From Analysts:
Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Economist to WisdomTree, commented on the dramatic shifts within the equity market, the ones happening among small- and large-cap stocks, as well as value and growth stocks. The strength in the small-cap stocks following favorable inflation data indicates a market highly responsive to even subtle shifts in monetary policy expectations, he said. 
The economist said, &#8220;There remains strong fundamental support for large caps—their earnings expectations have increased much more than small caps.&#8221; If the recent shifting tides were to sustain and last long &#8220;we will also need to see small and value stocks further reverse the huge gains in growth stocks over the previous three months,&#8221; he said.
The professor also weighed in on the U.S. election landscape. Biden's exit from the race makes Vice President Kamala Harris a virtual certain nominee, she said. The betting markets predict a close race between Harris and Trump but the former still may not beat the latter, he said. 
&#8220;However, the probability that the House goes Democratic has increased, and the prospects of a split government is encouraging to stock investors,&#8221; Siegel said. 
In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Tom Lee, Head of Research at Fund Strat, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/07/22/russell-2000-will-see-40-percent-rally-by-end-of-the-summer-says-fundstrats-lee.html">reiterated </a>his call for a 40% rally in small-caps by the end of the summer. He remised his call on the relatively higher sensitivity of these stocks to a Fed rate cut and the probability of it.

US Stock Futures Little Changed As Traders Brace For Q2 Reports From Alphabet, Tesla: 'There Remains Strong Fundamental Support For Large Caps,' Says Economist

About <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend">14% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported their June quarter earnings</a> and the blended earnings growth rate for the companies constituting the broader index remains healthy. The coming week will see the official start of the tech reporting season, which could potentially decide the fate of the market, which has seen a steep pullback in the recent week.
The Week That Was: The tech earnings season had a modest start last week with the earnings report from chip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>). The stock slumped about 16%, dragged by its weak third-quarter outlook and geopolitical concerns surrounding the China chip ban. Netflix, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) guidance disappointed investors, but with sell-side analysts raving over the results, the stock did not get hammered.
Investors cheered earnings reports from the remaining big banks, namely Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>). A rebound in investment banking business and strong trading revenue helped the banks shore up their topline.
Of these companies, 80% reported earnings per share above estimates compared to the five-year average of 77%, said FactSet in its latest earnings insight <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">report.</a> The average upside is about 5.5%, which, however, is below the five-year average of 8.6%.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
Earnings Trend: The blended earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 companies for the second quarter is currently estimated at 9.7%, up from 9.1% in the previous week, FactSet noted. If the estimate is hit, the actual growth rate for the quarter will mark the highest year-over-year rate reported since the fourth quarter of 2021, it added. The second quarter will also likely mark the fourth consecutive quarter of growth.
Eight of the qq S&amp;P 500 sectors are expected to report year-over-year earnings growth, with four, namely communication services, healthcare, IT, and financials, likely reporting double-digit earnings growth. On the other hand, three sectors will likely report earnings declines, led by the materials sector.
The Week Ahead: The unfolding week will see earnings reports from 138 S&amp;P 500 companies, including seven Dow 30 components, Factset report said. The earnings slate for the week includes companies from the telecom, auto, steel, chip, homebuilding, defense, airline and tech industries.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) are among the closely watched copmanies, given their heavy weightings in the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq indices. Tesla is widely expected to report a sharp year-over-year decline in its earnings per share from 91 cents to 62 cents, while revenue may have seen a much more modest 0.80% decline to $24.73 billion. The greater impact on the bottom line comes from the price cuts that Elon Musk&#8216;s company has relied on to push volume in a challenging demand environment.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">Analysts and fund managers are optimistic</a> after the company reported a deliveries beat for the quarter. They also expect an inflection in the second-half of the year.
Alphabet&#8217;s earnings are important because it is the first among the AI-levered mega-cap companies to release its quarterly results, which might set the tempo for the earnings from the rest in the space. 
The stock market took a hit last week as major indices retreated from their record highs.The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), an index that tracks the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index, ended Friday&#8217;s session down 0.89% to $475.24, according to Benzinga Pro data. The ETF is trading off its record close of $502.96 reached on July 10. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 0.66% on Friday before closing at $548.99.
