Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle changed price targets and presented earnings previews for major Aerospace companies such as GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>).
The analyst writes that these stocks are well-insulated against end-market challenges and are likely to achieve the largest earnings beats and drive significant upward revisions.
GE Aerospace: The analyst raised the price target to $235 from $212 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ge/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
Deuschle expects a 9% EPS beat in their base case and a 15% beat in the blue sky scenario for the third quarter.
In both cases, the analyst anticipates an increase in 2024 guidance, with a potential 7% EBIT rise if the blue sky scenario occurs.
Strong CSA collections from the summer flying season could drive free cash flow (FCF) above expectations, leading to an increase in FCF guidance, adds the analyst.
Overall, Deuschle says that they are optimistic ahead of the earnings release due to the potential for a significant beat and raise this quarter.

Howmet: The analyst raised the price target to $125 from $106 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hwm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst writes that the base case estimates third-quarter EPS at $0.68, above the Street&#8217;s $0.66, with a roughly 2% midpoint guidance increase.
The analyst cited upside drivers such as pricing strategies, strong execution allowing shipments above long-term agreement caps, and earlier-than-expected generation 2 LEAP HPT blade shipments.
Deuschle expects HWM to guide 2025 revenue in line with the Street (+10%), which could trigger further positive revisions, given a higher 2024 base and likely surprises in Engine Products EBITDA margins.

For Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), the analyst lowered the price target to $195 from $225 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst anticipates a third-quarter free cash flow burn of ($4.0 billion), up from a previous estimate of ($2.4 billion), due to the strike&#8217;s impact on September deliveries and ongoing cash pressures in Boeing&#8217;s Defense segment.
The forecast includes a $1 billion EBIT loss at Boeing Defense Systems (BDS) and a $1.6 billion loss at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), adds the analyst.
Deuschle says that BCA loss forecast assumes a $1 billion forward loss on the 777X, reflecting delays in entry into service and increased costs related to union negotiations and wage hikes.

GE and Howmet Poised for Strong Earnings as Aerospace Sector Stays Resilient: Analyst

The Western Union Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wu#NYSE">WU</a>) inked a deal with the Open Finance company, Khipu, enabling customers to transfer money digitally using any bank account in Chile.
The agreement incorporates Khipu&#39;s technology into Western Union&#39;s mobile app and website. Earlier, customers paying through a bank account had to leave the Western Union app or website and log into their bank&#39;s platform to complete the payment. This step is now removed as a result of the latest integration, allowing the entire transaction to be completed within the Western Union platform. The service is now available via the Western Union Chile app and website.
Western Union has also introduced a special promotion offer with a $0 fee for the first remittance made using the &quot;Online Bank Transfer&quot; option, thereby encouraging customers to explore the new service. The collaboration between WU and Khipu makes sure that cross-border payments can be made faster and more seamlessly by Chile&#39;s customers.
<h2>Benefits of the Recent Move to Western Union</h2>
The recent initiative reflects Western Union&#39;s sincere efforts to establish a solid footprint across the Chilean remittance market.&nbsp;
Moves similar to the latest one are indicative of Western Union&#39;s efforts to align with its global digital expansion strategy, designed to attract more customers through its diverse service offerings. Speedier money transfers brought about by integrating Khipu&#39;s technology into the WU platform are likely to result in the increased usage of its money transfer services. This move is likely to further boost the company&#39;s digital money transfer revenues in the days ahead.
Strategic partnerships with financial service providers and significant investments have enabled Western Union to develop a robust digital platform. This platform&#39;s strength has made it a preferred partner for efficient global money transfers and advancing digitization in underserved regions.
<h2>Western Union&#39;s Stock Price Performance</h2>
Shares of Western Union have dipped 0.7% year to date against the industry&#39;s 8.8% growth.

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices around the $60,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez marked $60,365 as the key Bitcoin level to watch. A break below this would take Bitcoin to $57,420. If this level holds, the crypto king will <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1841882152528486606">rebound</a> to $63,300, according to the analyst.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drop Again, Continue Defying 'Uptober' Sentiments: Watch This Key Level For A Rebound To $63K, Says Analyst

Airline stocks have endured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41124443/whats-going-on-with-delta-united-and-spirit-airlines-shares-tuesday">year of turbulence</a>, reflected by wild swings in share price, industry expectations and earnings. Recent insider trades of airline companies could indicate where the industry will head next.
The Trades: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">Benzinga Edge compiles information </a>on insider trade filings.
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41156975/southwest-airlines-director-rakesh-gangwal-invests-over-100m-in-shares-amid-elliott-managements-">flurry of insider activity</a> in recent days. Director Rakesh Gangwal invested over $100,000,000 in Southwest shares in late September and early October. Executive Chairman Gary C Kelly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/insider-trades">bought $1,000,000 of Southwest</a> shares in late September.
Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) is the largest American airline company. The Atlanta-based giant experienced several insider sales in early 2024. President Glen W Hauenstein sold $4,904,600 in Delta stock in April, over 30% of his total holding. Executive Vice President Peter W Carter sold $2,500,000 of Delta shares that month, over 25% of his position.
Delta has experienced a volatile year. Its share price rose over 30% from January to mid-May, but a subsequent drawdown erased much of its gains. A recovery followed from August to late September.
Several Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) executives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGT/insider-trades">have sold shares</a> in 2024. Chief Marketing Officer Scott DeAngelo sold over $1,000,000 in Allegiant stock in May. DeAngelo has since <a href="https://ir.allegiantair.com/news/news-details/2024/Allegiant-Announces-Resignation-of-Executive-Vice-President-and-Chief-Marketing-Officer-Scott-DeAngelo/default.aspx">resigned</a> from the company. Chief Operating Officer Frank Wilper and Director Gary Ellmer also made sales in the spring and summer.
Why it Matters: Insider trading activity is often viewed as a valuable indicator of a company's future prospects. When top executives or board members buy or sell shares, it can signal their confidence—or lack thereof—in the company's performance. In the case of airline stocks, this insider movement may be especially relevant as the industry navigates a turbulent environment marked by fluctuating demand, rising fuel costs, and post-pandemic recovery.
For investors, tracking these insider trades provides a critical lens into how industry leaders perceive future risks and opportunities, which can guide their own strategies in an increasingly volatile market.

Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAL#NASDAQ">PAL</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. Stifel analyst J. Bruce Chan reiterated a Buy rating on the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PAL/analyst-ratings">with a price target of $21.00.</a>
The analyst writes that a prolonged port strike could pressure volumes at the company. While a backlog of under a week should be manageable this quarter, longer disruptions could extend impacts into 2025.
The auto-hauling sector offers greater yield benefits than the broader dry van truckload market, as ad hoc moves can command 2-3 times the average contract pricing, adds the analyst.
Chan says that while lower volume does create some negative operating leverage, its impact is less severe due to fewer lost backhauls and a smaller terminal network compared to LTL.
The analyst writes that Proficient&#8217;s stock has faced pressure recently due to an unexpected management departure, a weak third-quarter FY24 operating environment, and ongoing port strikes.
However, Chan notes the equity has overcorrected for these short-term disruptions, which should have minimal impact on 2025 valuations.
The analyst maintains 2024 and 2025 EPS estimates at $0.88 and $1.54, respectively.
Price Action: PAL shares are up 4.55% at $13.80 at the last check Thursday.

Cryptocurrency Stacks Rises More Than 6% In 24 hours

At many points in September, investors heard about the S&amp;P 500 hitting a record high. But at several points in that month, the index pulled back instead of moving higher. This is called a resistance level, a technical point where buying activity weakens, leaving room for sellers to come in.&nbsp;
You&#39;re well aware of this price movement if you&#39;re invested in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) such as the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust. The SPY is up just 0.29% in the 30 days ending October 1. &nbsp;
But if you&#39;re investing in individual stocks, this choppy price action can be an opportunity to look for stocks with strong fundamentals that are being overlooked by investors. These are the stocks that have the best opportunity for strong gains. To find this group of stocks, we used the MarketBeat stock screener to find S&amp;P 500 stocks trading within 30% of their 52-week low with a forecast for at least 10% upside in earnings in the next 12 months. &nbsp;
<h2>A Breakout Stock in a Breakout Sector&nbsp;</h2>
SLB Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/slb#NYSE">SLB</a>), formerly known as Schlumberger, is an oilfield services company. The company&#39;s revenue and earnings are less sensitive to the price of crude oil but&nbsp;highly sensitive to CAPEX spending. In the last year, many of the major oil companies have been making up for years of underspending as the price of oil has moved higher. &nbsp;
That&#39;s reflected in the company&#39;s last four quarters, in which they reported year-over-year double-digit revenue and earnings growth. The price of oil is likely to continue climbing in 2025 regardless of the outcome of November&#39;s election, which makes SLB stock and its 2.5% dividend yield attractive, particularly with the stock trading near two-year lows. &nbsp;
The SLB analyst forecast on MarketBeat gives the stock a consensus price target of $65.29, which gives investors the potential for 48.5% upside from the stock&#39;s closing price on October 1, 2024. &nbsp;
<h2>This Lithium Stock Is a Solid Play as China Stocks Soar&nbsp;</h2>
China stocks are making a strong recovery as the Chinese government has unleashed a wave of stimulus programs to boost the country&#39;s struggling economy. If you believe in the economy&#39;s recovery, it bodes well for electric vehicle (EV) sales. &nbsp;
However, many investors may still feel that it&#39;s too risky to buy China stocks. A company that is adjacent to China stocks is Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alb#NYSE">ALB</a>). The lithium miner&#39;s stock is down over 34% in 2024 as the price of lithium has declined as has the company&#39;s free cash flow. &nbsp;
Albemarle&#39;s turnaround may not be immediate, which explains the consensus Hold rating on the stock. However, ALB stock looks to be forming a bottom around $72. And the Albermarle analyst forecasts on MarketBeat give the stock a $117.10 price target which is 26% higher than its price on October 2. And investors get a dividend that the company has been increasing for 30 consecutive years. &nbsp;
<h2>Despite Supply Chain Concerns, This Undervalued Medical Stock Is Worth a Look&nbsp;</h2>
McKesson Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mck#NYSE">MCK</a>) is one of the undervalued medical stocks in the S&amp;P 500. The company is a global leader in healthcare that partners with care providers, pharmacies, and manufacturers to deliver the right medicines, products and healthcare services to the right patients at the right time. &nbsp;
MCK stock is up 7.6% in 2024 but is down approximately 14.7% in the last three months. The company last reported earnings in August and missed on the top line. One issue affecting the company is delays in getting GLP-1 drugs. Demand simply outpaces supply. &nbsp;
To be fair, this issue is likely to get worse if the port strike lasts for any length of time. That could weigh on MCK stock in the short term. &nbsp;
However, analysts are still forecasting a 10% increase in the company&#39;s earnings. They also give the stock a consensus Moderate Buy rating with a price target of over $613, which is more than 24% above its current price. Investors also get a dividend that has increased at an average rate of 11% in the last three years. The company may increase the payout now that it is done buying back its shares. &nbsp;
