Product Was Suspended by EPA Based on One Rodent Study
American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVD#NYSE">AVD</a>) today announced that, following its decision in April 2024 to voluntarily stop sales of Dacthal herbicide products, the Company has submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") voluntary cancellation requests for all of its federal registrations of those products. Those registrations are currently the subject of an emergency suspension order that was issued by EPA on August 6, 2024.
In connection with its action, the Company made the following statements.
While the Company continues to question EPA's conclusions in support of the suspension, we believe that the best course of action is to voluntarily cancel registrations of this product. We are working apace with both state and federal authorities to effect product return and to remove Dacthal from channels of distribution. It is the Company's position that product stewardship be international in scope; thus, we will now proceed to voluntarily cancel all international registrations as well.

Valvoline (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vvv#NYSE">VVV</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.36 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.23 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 2.78%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this automotive and industrial lubricants maker would post earnings of $0.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.29, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Valvoline, which belongs to the Zacks Chemical - Specialty industry, posted revenues of $388.7 million for the quarter ended March 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.05%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $344.5 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Valvoline shares have added about 17.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 8.8%.
What&#39;s Next for Valvoline?
While Valvoline has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Valvoline: favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.49 on $422.34 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.61 on $1.62 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Chemical - Specialty is currently in the top 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, American Vanguard (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avd#NYSE">AVD</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2024.
This agricultural products company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
American Vanguard&#39;s revenues are expected to be $141.2 million, up 13.1% from the year-ago quarter.
