Baird Downgrades Nordson to Neutral, Lowers Price Target to $237

Risk sentiment soured on Thursday following hotter-than-expected producer inflation data, which dampened optimism for aggressive interest rate cuts in 2025. Adding to the uncertainty, an unexpected rise in jobless claims cast doubt on the resilience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42467265/stocks-fall-as-producer-inflation-spikes-jobless-claims-jump-what-is-happening-here">of the U.S. labor market.</a>
Major U.S. stock indices were in the red during midday trading in New York. The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.4%, retreating from its record highs reached in the previous session, while small caps underperformed as the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) dropped 1%.
The Producer Price Index surged to 3% year-over-year in November, its highest level since February 2023, outpacing both forecasts and the upwardly revised 2.6% from October. On the labor front, weekly jobless claims rose by 17,000 to 242,000, exceeding consensus estimates of 220,000.
Treasury yields ticked higher, with the 10-year benchmark yield climbing 4 basis points to 4.31%, as investors placed greater emphasis on the robust inflation reading. However, expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting remained intact, with Fed futures pricing in a 98% probability.
In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index, as measured by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), edged up 0.1%, while gold prices slid more than 1%.
Natural gas prices soared nearly 5%, reaching levels not seen since late October 2023, after a steep storage draw fueled buying momentum.
In cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded modestly higher, up 0.3% to $101,500, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 3.1%.

Insights From Analysts
Despite the S&amp;P 500 Index nearing record highs on Wednesday, its breadth was skewed in the favour of the bears.
&#8220;117 stocks in the S&amp;P 500 made a new monthly low yesterday, the most since 139 on Halloween. 211 made a 10-day low, most since Sept 6,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Group.

Talking about balancing growth amid policy shifts, Andrew Pease, the chief investment strategist at Russell Investments said, &#8220;Tax cuts and deregulation could provide a meaningful growth boost, particularly to domestic and cyclical sectors.&#8221;
&#8220;Given lower valuations and improving sentiment, we are more positive on U.S. small-cap equity than we have been in prior years. Large-cap dominance in both earnings and price appreciation will require a catalyst to shift returns in the small-cap direction,&#8221; he added.
Apart from small-caps, Pease in his note said that &#8220;growth managers targeting high-growth cyclical sectors like software, while value managers identify mergers and acquisitions potential in financials and healthcare. Core managers are balancing cyclical exposure and managing risks in rate-sensitive sectors.&#8221;
Citing rich valuations, Alex Chaloff, the chief investment officer at Bernstein Private Wealth Management said that they are still pro-equities.
&#8220;We&#8217;re optimistic on equities, think that valuations are a little bit rich in a pocket of the market, but there are some opportunities. In bonds, you can clip the coupon even if rates move higher from here, which we don&#8217;t think is our base case,&#8221; he said.

Wall Street Poised To Open Lower A Day After Nasdaq's Record Close Above 20,000: Expert Flags 'Deterioration Under The Surface' As 117 S&P 500 Stocks Hit New Monthly Lows

Nordson Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDSN#NASDAQ">NDSN</a>) fell by 5.43% to $236.01 in after-hours on Wednesday as the company revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025 was below analyst expectations. However, the technical analysis using simple moving averages indicates that the stock remains under pressure pointing toward a bearish trend.
What Happened: Nordson <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/24/12/42449106/earnings-summary-nordson-q4">recorded a net income</a> of $122 million for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal, which was less than the net income of $128 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The company which makes spraying equipment for agricultural use had its net sales increase by 4% year-on-year. It recorded $744 million in revenue for the period, compared to $719 million in the prior year&#8217;s fourth quarter.
On a full-year basis, Nordson recorded record sales of $2.7 billion, reflecting 2% growth over last fiscal&#8217;s record sales. The net income for the year was $467 million, a decrease from the prior year's net income of $487 million.
Nordson revenue guidance for the upcoming fiscal 2025 was between $2.75 billion and $2.87 billion, which was below analysts&#8217; expectations of $2.93 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Also read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/24/12/42449106/earnings-summary-nordson-q4">Earnings Summary: Nordson Q4</a>
Why It Matters: Nordson Corp&#8217;s stock has declined by 3.52% on a year-to-date basis and advanced by 7.23% in the last six months. This compares to a 31.55% and 11.81% performance by the Nasdaq 100 Index in the same period, respectively.
From a technical perspective, the analysis of daily moving averages indicates that the stock may be under pressure.
The stock ended at $236.01 in after-hours on Wednesday. This was below its eight and 20-day simple moving averages, of $255.12 and $256.39, respectively. As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>, its current stock price was also lower than the 50 and 200-day moving average prices at $255.04 and $251.99, respectively.
This trend indicates that the stock is experiencing a bearish divergence. The stock price could be attempting to recover but the momentum is not strong enough to push it above the moving averages. On the other hand, the relative strength index of 39.44 suggests the stock is near the oversold territory.

Earnings Summary: Nordson Q4

Nordson Expects FY25 Sales Of $2.75B - $2.87B (Est $2.933B), Adjusted EPS Of $9.70 - $10.50 (Est $10.41)

Nordson (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDSN#NASDAQ">NDSN</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $2.78 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.59 by 7.34 percent. The company reported quarterly sales of $744.48 million which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $736.35 million by 1.10 percent. This is a 3.50 percent increase over sales of $719.31 million the same period last year.

Earnings Beats

Nordson Q4 2024 Adj EPS $2.78 Beats $2.59 Estimate, Sales $744.48M Beat $736.35M Estimate

Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDSN#NASDAQ">NDSN</a>) will release earnings for its fourth quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NDSN/earnings">closing bell on Wednesday, Dec. 11.</a>
Analysts expect the Westlake, Ohio-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.59 per share — up from $2.46 per share in the year-ago period. Nordson projects to report quarterly revenue of $736.79 million, compared to $719.31 million a year earlier, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Nordso investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. The company currently offers an annual dividend yield of 1.23%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 78 cents per share ($3.12 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $486,269 or around 1,923 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $97,355 or around 385 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.12 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.12 = 1,923 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.12 = 385 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
Price Action: Shares of Nordson fell 1% to close at $252.87 on Tuesday.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Nordson Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

U.S. futures were mixed on Wednesday in premarket hours ahead of the crucial inflation data. Major index futures like Dow Jones and Russell 2000 fell, while Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500 advanced.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.24% and 4.17%, respectively. Expectations of a further 25 basis point rate cut in December rose to 86.1%, up from 78.1% a week ago, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
Economists <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42423745/december-interest-rate-cut-is-almost-a-done-deal-could-wednesday-inflation-data-derail-investor-hopes">expect annual CPI inflation to rise</a> from 2.6% in October to 2.7% in November, according to TradingEconomics consensus estimates.

Wednesday&#8217;s release will provide insights into inflation trends. Federal Reserve officials are currently in a quiet period ahead of their December meeting.

Insights From Analysts 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">Carson Research&#8217;s note</a> written by its chief market strategist Ryan Detrick, said, 2024 "would go down as the best election year return ever," as the S&amp;P 500 Index has made 56 new all-time highs.
He also highlighted that the current bull market is nearly 26 months old and is now up more than 70% from the mid-October 2022 lows. "But the good news for investors is that once previous bull markets got to this point there were many more years of gains left," he said.
"Going back 50 years, we found five other bull markets that had lasted at least this long and the shortest any of them lasted was five total years. Think of it like a cruise ship — once it gets moving, it can be quite hard to stop.&#8221;
In the graph shared by Detrick, he highlighted the August 1987 and October 2007 bull markets which lasted for five years each, the November 1980 bull market which lasted 6.2 years, and also March 2000 bull market which lasted for 12.3 years.
The Dow hit a record eight 1,000-point milestones this year and November was a huge month for small caps, with the Russell 2000 up by 10.9%.
"We found 22 other times the Russell 2000 gained at least double digits in a month and six months later it has been higher 90% of the time and a year later up a very solid 15% on average," the note said.
According to a JPMorgan note on its <a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/global/en/2025%20Year-Ahead%20Investment%20Outlook.pdf">2025 outlook</a>, &#8220;the prospect of deregulation and corporate tax cuts may finally give investors conviction to add to previously unloved areas of the market, like value and mid/small cap stocks, which are also benefiting from earnings recovery and attractive valuations.&#8221;
As the cost of capital declines with interest rates, &#8220;Consumers and companies should resume capital-intensive expenditures. Durable goods subsectors, particularly those tied to housing, should also see a boost.
&#8220;Financials should benefit from increased loan and insurance demand, a more favorable yield curve, normalizing M&amp;A and IPO activity and prospects for deregulation, while falling rates also increase the relative value of bond proxy sectors like utilities and real estate,&#8221; the note added.
Upcoming Economic Data
This week&#8217;s economic calendar is packed with essential data releases that will help investors shape their future plans and strategies.
