Great Lakes Announces $342.3 Million Receipt In Awarded Work

September has always been the worst month for the stock market. In early September, stocks gyrated as investors were concerned about a cooling U.S. economy. However, things have begun to improve following the Federal Reserve&#39;s half-point interest rate cut that restored faith in economic strength.&nbsp;
According to the Dow Jones Market Data, the S&amp;P 500, the Dow and the Nasdaq have gained more than 1% this month and are about to crush their dismal September run for the first time in five years. And since stocks are well-poised to diverge from a discouraging historical trend, it&#39;s prudent for astute investors to place their bets on breakout stocks that can take advantage of the stock market&#39;s largely broader upward movement.&nbsp;
To pick breakout stocks, investors should zero in on stocks whose prices vary within a narrow band. If the stock price falls below this channel, it could be the best time to sell it off. However, the best time to buy a stock per this strategy is when it is about to break above this trading band. Such stocks offer the prospect of impressive gains.
To that end, Bioventus Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bvs#NASDAQ">BVS</a>), Great Lakes Dredge &amp; Dock Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gldd#NASDAQ">GLDD</a>) and AxoGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axgn#NASDAQ">AXGN</a>) have been selected as the breakout stocks for today.
<h2>Zeroing in on Breakout Stocks</h2>
To select the right breakout stock, one has to first calculate its support and resistance level. A support level is the lower bound for stock movements, while a resistance level refers to the maximum price it trades within a considerable period.
In other words, the demand for a stock is at its lowest at its support level, which means that most traders are willing to sell it. At the resistance level, most traders are willing to go long on the stock, meaning they would like to add it to their portfolio.&nbsp;
<h2>Has a Genuine Breakout Happened?</h2>
The primary risk associated with such a strategy is that the decision to buy an apparent breakout candidate has been incorrectly timed. When a stock moves above the resistance level, it should be a highly prized commodity for traders. However, whether such a breakout is genuine is another matter altogether.
For a bona fide breakout, the stock&#39;s earlier resistance barrier should become its new support level. This only happens if the trading channel that has been established is tested by observing long-term price trends. The strength of the support and resistance levels can be ascertained only through such a study. Despite the risk of misidentification, correctly identifying such stocks can yield considerable returns, even at a price that may not seem attractive at first glance.
<h2>Screening Criteria Using Research Wizard:</h2>
&bull; Percentage price change over four weeks between 10% and 20% (Stocks showing considerable price increases but whose gains are not excessive.)
&bull; Current Price /52-Week High greater than or equal to 0.9 (Stocks trading 90% close to their 52-week highs.)
&bull; Zacks Rank less than or equal to #2 (Only Strong Buy and Buy rated stocks can get through.)
No matter whether the market is good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have a proven history of outperformance.
&bull; Beta for 60 months less than or equal to 2
(Stocks that move more than the broader market but within a reasonable limit.)
&bull; Current price less than or equal to $20 (Stocks reasonably priced.)
These criteria narrow the universe of more than 6,853 stocks to only 15. Here are the top three stocks:
<h2>Bioventus&nbsp;</h2>
Bioventus delivers clinically proven, cost-effective products that help people heal quickly and safely. BVS has an expected earnings growth rate of 1,900% for the current year. BVS currently has a Zacks Rank #1.
<h2>Great Lakes Dredge &amp; Dock&nbsp;</h2>
Great Lakes Dredge &amp; Dock is the largest provider of dredging services in the United States. GLDD has an expected earnings growth rate of 471.4% for the current year. GLDD currently has a Zacks Rank #2.
<h2>AxoGen&nbsp;</h2>
AxoGen engages in developing and marketing surgical solutions for peripheral nerves. AXGN has an expected earnings growth rate of 94.1% for the current year. AXGN currently has a Zacks Rank #2.

First September Gains in 5 Years? Buy 3 Breakout Stocks Now

EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eme#NYSE">EME</a>) shares reached a new 52-week high of $437.10 on Friday. The stock pulled back to end the trading session at $435.60, gaining 1.3% that day. Impressively, the stock marked a 9.9% surge in the past five days.
The move came in after the most awaited interest rate cut news, which boosted the overall market sentiments. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut by 50 cents to a range of 4.75% to 5%. Reduced interest rates can have a highly supportive effect on infrastructure stocks, benefiting from cheaper financing, increased government and private sector investment, higher appeal for dividend-seeking investors, and potential growth in related sectors like real estate.
In the year-to-date period (YTD), the stock surged more than 104%, handily outpacing the Zacks Building Products - Heavy Construction industry&#39;s 79.9% growth, the broader Construction sector&#39;s 22.6% rise and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 19.6% increase. Investors looking for momentum stock may dig into EME right now.

Other stocks from the same industry that touched a 52-week high on Sept. 20 are Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dy#NYSE">DY</a>), MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mtz#NYSE">MTZ</a>) and Great Lakes Dredge &amp; Dock (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gldd#NASDAQ">GLDD</a>). These stocks surged 72.2%, 67.1% and 40.7%, respectively, in YTD.
Let&#39;s delve deeper into the factors substantiating this Fortune 500 company&#39;s resilience, which currently captures around $17 billion of total market share.
<h2>Solid Diversified Business</h2>
EMCOR has established itself as a leader in mechanical and electrical construction, industrial infrastructure, and building services. Its focus on these specialized sectors has positioned the company to dominate markets requiring expert solutions.
A key strength of EME is its investment in Virtual Design and Construction&nbsp;technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), which helps the company design and coordinate complex projects. This technology also enhances its prefabrication processes, enabling customized fabrication for electrical, sheet metal, fire sprinkler, and piping systems, thus improving efficiency and competitiveness.
With the growing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, EMCOR is well-positioned to benefit from the increased demand for HVAC and lighting retrofits, as well as building automation services. The Mechanical Services division, which generates nearly 65% of EMCOR&#39;s total revenues, plays a crucial role in meeting this demand and driving the company&#39;s success.
The company also expands in high-growth sectors and geographies via acquisitions. In the first half of 2024, EMCOR acquired four companies. The acquired companies are set to strengthen their Mechanical Construction, Building Services and Industrial Services segments, positioning them well for future growth.
<h2>EME&#39;s High RPO Levels May Boost Growth</h2>
EMCOR reported remaining performance obligations (RPOs) of $9 billion at end of second-quarter 2024, reflecting an 8.6% year-over-year increase. This near-record RPO level highlights a robust pipeline of future projects, particularly in sectors like data centers, high-tech manufacturing, healthcare, and water/wastewater.
RPOs in the network and communications sector, which includes data centers, reached a record $1.7 billion, marking 40% year-over-year growth. This surge emphasizes EMCOR&#39;s strong position in the expanding data center market, indicating significant future revenue potential.
<h2>Strong Cash Flow</h2>
The company generated $412 million in operating cash flow in the first six months of 2024, almost double the amount from the prior-year period. This strong cash flow supports the company&#39;s ability to fund growth initiatives, pursue acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders.
EMCOR invests in expanding prefabrication and VDC technologies, including BIM, automation, and robotics, while also engaging in various M&amp;A activities. Additionally, the company provides impressive returns to its stockholders through share repurchases and dividends. In 2024, EMCOR increased its quarterly dividend by 39% to 25 cents.
<h2>Obstacles Hindering EME&#39;s Growth Trajectory</h2>
EMCOR has faced difficulties in the commercial real estate market due to reduced demand and the completion of several projects. The U.S. and U.K. site-based services businesses, particularly in the U.S. Building Services segment, have experienced revenue setbacks, mainly due to the non-renewal of certain contracts in the last reported quarter.
In addition to sector-specific challenges, EMCOR is exposed to risks from fluctuating global energy markets and supply-chain disruptions. These factors could limit infrastructure investments and increase project costs, creating obstacles to the company&#39;s growth prospects.
<h2>Valuation, Return &amp; Growth Trend</h2>
EMCOR&#39;s shares are currently overvalued marginally. Its forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22.27 is above its five-year median of 16.23 and the industry&#39;s average of 21.66 currently.
EME provides solid investment returns compared to the industry&#39;s average, as reflected by its current trailing 12-month Return on Equity of 32.7%. This indicates the company efficiently uses its shareholders&#39; funds.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/2b/78847.jpg?v=1312124596" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EME&#39;s earnings has moved up in the past 60 days, indicating analysts are showing confidence in the stock. Over the last 60 days, forecasts for 2024 and 2025 have increased to $19.50 (from $16.10) and $19.59 (from $17.41), respectively.
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
EMCOR&#39;s focus on advanced technologies and sustainability, robust capital allocation strategy, and strong financial performance make it a must-buy for investors looking for good long-term gain. Also, Fed&#39;s rate cut is likely to bolster the infrastructure market by lowering borrowing costs, enhancing project viability, encouraging investment, and stimulating economic growth.
However, some industry headwinds and a high valuation depict a risk to the sustainability of its current price if the company&#39;s future performance does not meet investors&#39; expectations.
We believe its impressive business structure, as well as economic rebound, will help the company generate higher earnings in coming quarters. Additionally, solid return and future earnings expectations reinforce its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating, making EMCOR an attractive addition to investors&#39; portfolio at present.

While &quot;the trend is your friend&quot; when it comes to short-term investing or trading, timing entries into the trend is a key determinant of success. And increasing the odds of success by making sure the sustainability of a trend isn&#39;t easy.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen, which is created on a unique short-term trading strategy, could be pretty useful in this regard. This predefined screen makes it really easy to shortlist the stocks that have enough fundamental strength to maintain their recent uptrend. Also, the screen passes only the stocks that are trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
There are several stocks that passed through the screen:
<h2>Great Lakes Dredge &amp; Dock</h2>
(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gldd#NASDAQ">GLDD</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a solid choice for &quot;trend&quot; investing.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. GLDD is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 11.6% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 7.9% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this provider of dredging and dock-contracting services.
Moreover, GLDD is currently trading at 84% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in GLDD may not reverse anytime soon.
