'Apple Must Resolve 'Fortnite' Return or Answer for It to Judge'- Bloomberg

<p><strong>JP Morgan</strong> analyst Lisa C. Gill revised her 2025 outlook on <strong>GoodRx Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDRX#NASDAQ">GDRX</a>) following the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings. Gill reaffirmed an Overweight rating on the stock and maintained her $7 price forecast.</p>
<p>The company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45266347/goodrx-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter</a> 2025 revenue of $203 million (above the $202.21 million estimate), up 3% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $69.8 million, with margins improving to 34.4% from 31.7%. Net income came in at $11.1 million, reversing a $1 million loss in the prior year.</p>
<p>Pharma Manufacturer Solutions&#8217; revenue climbed 17%, while subscription revenue declined 7%, primarily due to the phaseout of the Kroger Savings Club.</p>

<p>GoodRx reaffirmed its full-year 2025 revenue outlook of $810-$840 million and raised its adjusted EBITDA forecast to $273–$287 million, compared to $260.2 million in 2024.</p>
<p>The analyst revised her 2025 revenue estimate slightly downward to $817 million (3% year-over-year growth), citing added ~$5 million in Rite Aid (RAD) headwinds, offset by strength in Pharma Manufacturer Solutions and improved margins.</p>
<p>She increased her adjusted EBITDA projection to $279 million (7% growth), with a 135 basis-point margin expansion to 34.2%. Despite a slight increase in sales and marketing expenses in the second half of 2025, margin strength is expected to persist.</p>
<p>Gill noted the trend of pharmacy costs shifting to consumers and the efforts of pharmacies/PBMs to capture abandoned scripts create a favorable environment for GoodRx&#8217;s value proposition.</p>
<p>The analyst anticipates solid growth, execution, and margin expansion with benefits from ISP adoption and increased consumerism in healthcare in 2025 and beyond.</p>
<p>JP Morgan maintained its December 2025 price target of $7, based on a 9x EV/EBITDA multiple on the 2026 forecast of $298 million and a sustained mid-to-high-single-digit EBITDA growth trajectory.</p>

</p><p><i>HG Vora Fights in Court to Have Votes for its Third Director Nominee, William Clifford, Counted</i></p>
<p><i>Urges Shareholders to Vote for HG Vora's Three Independent Nominees on the GOLD Proxy Card to Send a Clear Message to PENN's Board that Shareholder-Led Change Is Needed</i></p>
<p>HG Vora Capital Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "HG Vora") today issued the following statement regarding the acknowledgement buried in PENN Entertainment, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) ("PENN" or the "Company") May 19, 2025 letter that it "will continue to consider opportunities to further refresh the Board" after the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on June 17, 2025. On April 25, 2025, PENN's Board unilaterally reduced the number of seats up for election at the Annual Meeting, which HG Vora believes was done to deprive shareholders of their fundamental right to elect three directors of their choosing.</p>
<p>"PENN's statement today reflects its continued and ongoing assault on shareholder rights and demonstrates the lengths this Board will go to entrench itself. PENN's statement suggests that it is going to expand the Board by adding back the seat that it removed last month and <strong>unilaterally</strong> name a director of its choosing for a three-year term – all <strong>after</strong> the 2025 Annual Meeting. These self-serving actions have no legitimate corporate purpose and are being done to deprive shareholders of the right to vote or oppose the nomination of a third director. <strong>This is simply unacceptable and should not be tolerated</strong>.</p>
<p>"HG Vora has nominated a highly qualified third independent director candidate in William Clifford and is now fighting in court for injunctive relief to have all votes for him counted at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, HG Vora filed a motion on May 14, 2025 for expedited relief and a rapid trial in federal court in Pennsylvania, which PENN is opposing. HG Vora did not seek a preliminary injunction so the Board would not have the excuse to delay the Annual Meeting and avoid seating the other two HG Vora-nominated director candidates – Johnny Hartnett and Carlos Ruisanchez.</p>
<p>"Importantly, because of PENN's history of using the corporate machinery to thwart the will of shareholders, and its track record of value destruction, HG Vora believes shareholders should not tolerate such a manipulation of the electoral process and that PENN's Board has forfeited the right to select directors without shareholder input."</p>
<p>HG Vora encourages all shareholders to review its materials, which are available at <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.WinAtPENN.com&amp;esheet=54257095&amp;newsitemid=20250519565617&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.WinAtPENN.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=b0270f2261de39d9dea98f284d8a9d88">www.WinAtPENN.com</a>.</p>

The remainder came from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding.

<p><strong>Paycom Software's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAYC#NYSE">PAYC</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>1.77 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 3.78% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 4.08 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Paycom Software's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.55%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

Assessing Solventum: Insights From 9 Financial Analysts

<p>In the current market session, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)</strong> share price is at $114.75, after a <strong>2.07%</strong> decrease. Over the past month, the stock spiked by <strong>33.02%</strong>, but over the past year, it actually fell by <strong>30.31%</strong>. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.</p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747677670_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>A Look at Advanced Micro Devices P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the <strong>151.9</strong> in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of <strong>85.53</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that  the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747677670_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. </p>
