As the third-quarter earnings season approaches, Goldman Sachs has issued a note identifying key stock opportunities for investors looking to profit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41255250/banks-gear-up-for-earnings-season-15-top-stock-picks-including-citigroup-morgan-stanley-and-truist">from financial results.</a>
Analyst John Marshall and his team shared their insights on Thursday, highlighting 18 stocks that could benefit from upward earnings revisions and seven stocks likely to face downward revisions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The &#8216;Stock Picker&#8217;s Year&#8217;: 10% Upside In S&amp;P 500</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts call 2024 "the year of the stock picker," emphasizing the importance of selective investing in a volatile earnings environment.
According to the investment bank&#8217;s latest projections, the average S&amp;P 500 stock could see a 10% upside over the next 12 months. 
"We see relief rally potential," Marshall stated in his note. "Directional positioning in the options market is balanced, a much better set-up than this time last quarter."
The analysts also observed that activity in options markets, both from hedge funds and retail traders, has decreased recently, signaling a "wait-and-see" approach as investors prepare for third-quarter earnings reports and the upcoming U.S. elections.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Season Volatility Remains Elevated</h3>
Goldman Sachs highlighted that single-stock volatility surrounding earnings events remains at a 14-year high. 
This trend, driven by critical market debates on topics like artificial intelligence, interest rates, and the upcoming election, is expected to continue through the remainder of the year.
&#8220;We expect earnings day moves to remain elevated as most of the key debates for the market have winners and losers in the equity space,&#8221; the note added. 
With this heightened volatility, the firm continues to recommend options-based strategies, advising investors to consider buying options ahead of earnings events and selling options between earnings periods to capitalize on price movements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">18 Stocks Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On For Third-Quarter Earnings</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysts have identified 18 stocks they believe are primed for upside as earnings revisions could be favorable. These stocks span a variety of sectors, from energy and financials to healthcare and technology.

CHH Emerges as the Pioneer of Extended-Stay Conversion Hotels

Goldman Sachs Initiates Coverage On Choice Hotels Intl with Sell Rating, Announces Price Target of $105

Virco Manufacturing Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/virc#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31, 2024) results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but sales missed the same. Following the results, the company&#39;s shares lost 9.3% on Sept. 09.
On a year-over-year basis, the top and the bottom lines increased. This was primarily driven by higher factory output and improved operating efficiencies. A large counter-seasonal disaster recovery order also contributed to the positive results. This order is now blending into the company&#39;s usual seasonal delivery pattern, which peaks during the second and third quarters when schools are closed.
Although order rates declined slightly with the progress of summer, Shipments plus Backlog remained higher compared to last year. The company is confident in its ability to adapt to these changes. Its strong financial position supports the ongoing investments in new manufacturing equipment and service expansions. VIRC is well-positioned to seize unexpected opportunities as the market adjusts to a new post-pandemic phase.
Going forward, the company aims to seek potential acquisition opportunities to expand and strengthen its current business capabilities. Also, along with driving its prospects, Virco expects to add shareholder value through quarterly dividends and share repurchases.
<h2>Delving Deeper</h2>
The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.04 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.00 by 4%. In the last reported quarter, it reported adjusted earnings of 95 cents per share.

Net sales of $108.4 million missed the consensus mark of $115.9 million by 6.5% but grew 1% from the prior-year quarter&#39;s level.
</div>
<h2>Operating Highlights</h2>
During the fiscal second quarter, Virco&#39;s gross profit increased 3.4% year over year to $50.2 million. The gross margin expanded 100 basis points (bps) to 46.3% from 45.3% a year ago.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 60 bps to 26.1% from 25.5% reported a year ago. The uptick in operating expenses stemmed from a modest increase in full-service orders and the associated installation costs.
The company reported an operating profit of $21.9 million compared with $21.2 million in the prior-year quarter.
<h2>Financials</h2>
At the end of the fiscal second-quarter, Virco had cash of $0.8 million, down from $5.3 million at fiscal 2023-end. As of July 31, long-term debt (less current portion) was $4 million, slightly down from $4.1 million at fiscal 2023-end.
At the end of second-quarter fiscal 2024, the company&#39;s inventory came in at $58.6 million, slightly up from $58.4 million in the year-ago period.
<h2>VIRC&#39;s Zacks Rank</h2>
Virco currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
<h2>Recent Consumer Discretionary Releases</h2>
PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/penn#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) reported a narrower-than-expected loss in second-quarter 2024. The company&#39;s bottom and top lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but declined on a year-over-year basis. PENN&#39;s quarterly results were hampered by disappointing performances of its South and Interactive segments.
However, top-of-funnel growth improvement, better risk management and enhanced promotional strategies led to stronger-than-expected revenues and adjusted EBITDA in the Interactive segment. PENN continues to focus on database growth and customer engagement through the use of latest technology, ongoing investments in gaming and non-gaming areas and partnerships in food and beverage.
Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chh#NYSE">CHH</a>) delivered drab second-quarter 2024 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Nevertheless, both metrics increased on a year-over-year basis.
The results were backed by strong demand trends across the company&#39;s diversified portfolio of brands. This uptrend in demand aided in accelerating global hotel openings, expanding international market reach and increasing the size of its reward program. CHH&#39;s versatile business model and accretive growth strategies ensure the support required to foster its growth trends.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hlt#NYSE">HLT</a>) reported mixed second-quarter 2024 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues missing the same. Both metrics increased year over year.
The company&#39;s performance was backed by notable improvements in revenue per available room, attributed to higher occupancy rates and average daily rates. As of June 30, 2024, Hilton&#39;s development pipeline comprised nearly 3,370 hotels, with almost 508,300 rooms across 136 countries and territories. For 2024, HLT expects net unit growth to be in the range of 7-7.5%.

Baird Maintains Outperform on Choice Hotels Intl, Lowers Price Target to $134

Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chh#NYSE">CHH</a>) delivered lower-than-expected second-quarter 2024 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, both metrics increased on a year-over-year basis.
The quarter&#39;s performance was backed by strong demand trends across the company&#39;s diversified portfolio of brands. This uptrend in demand aided in accelerating global hotel openings, expanding international market reach and increasing the size of its rewards program. Moreover, CHH&#39;s versatile business model and accretive growth strategies ensure the support required to foster its growth trends.
Going forward, the company believes that it is well-positioned to deliver bottom-line growth as well as maintain shareholder value on the back of the aforementioned business strategies against the improving demand backdrop.
<h3>Q2 Earnings and Revenues</h3>
Choice Hotels reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.84, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.87 by 1.6%. It reported adjusted EPS of $1.75 in the prior-year quarter.

</div>
<h3>Franchising &amp; Royalties</h3>
Royalty, licensing and management fees inched up 1% year over year to $141.8 million. During the three months ended Jun 30, domestic revenue per available room (RevPAR) experienced an increase of 540 basis points (bps) sequentially but declined 50 bps year over year. In comparison with the same period in 2019, the metric remained high at 11%.
System-wide effective royalty rate increased 5 bps year over year to 5.04%.
<h3>Operating Results</h3>
Total operating expenses declined marginally 0.2% year over year to $302.5 million. Our estimate for the metric was $298.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $161.7 million, up 6% year over year. We expected the metric to be $170.3 million.

<h3>Zacks Rank &amp; Recent Consumer Discretionary Releases</h3>
Choice Hotels currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/plnt#NYSE">PLNT</a>) reported stellar second-quarter 2024 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increasing year over year.
The quarter&#39;s performance was driven by contributions from new store openings, higher royalty revenues and an asset-light growth model. The strength in the contributions from these factors was reflected in the year-over-year increase in system-wide same-store sales. PLNT aims to define its growth prospects by capitalizing on meaningful opportunities across the industry, globally. Also, its aim to deliver enhanced shareholder value bodes well.
Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wynn#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>) reported lower-than-expected second-quarter 2024 results, wherein adjusted earnings and revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On the other hand, both metrics rose year over year.
The quarter&#39;s results reflect strong contributions from the Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau and Las Vegas operations, partially offset by softer contributions from the Encore Boston Harbor operations. The company&#39;s continuous investments in expanding the business operations on a global scale along with ensuring shareholder value are commendable. This prudent attitude positions WYNN well for growth in 2024 and beyond.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/h#NYSE">H</a>) delivered second-quarter 2024 results, wherein earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues missed the same. The company&#39;s top line declined year over year.
The timing of Easter, renovations at major resort properties and the lingering impact of the 2023 Maui wildfires affected the company&#39;s performance. As of Jun 30, 2024, Hyatt had a pipeline of executed management or franchise contracts of approximately 670 hotels (or about 130,000 rooms). Management anticipates 2024 system-wide RevPAR to rise 3-4% from the 2023 level, down from the prior estimated range of 3-5%.
