Analyst Expectations For Magnite's Future

<p>On Thursday, <strong>Viatris Inc</strong>.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) reported fourth-quarter 2024 sales of&nbsp;$3.52 billion, down 8% year over year, missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $3.61 billion</a>.</p>
<p>The company reported adjusted EPS of 54 cents, missing the consensus of 57 cents.</p>
<p>Brands&#8217; net sales fell 10% to $2.16 billion, and Generic&#8217;s revenues <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44002120/viatris-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results-and-provides-2025-financial-gu" rel="noreferrer noopener">decreased 5% to $1.35 billion</a>.</p>

<p>The company generated approximately&nbsp;$85 million&nbsp;in new product revenues in the quarter (approximately&nbsp;$582 million&nbsp;for the year).</p>
<p>The most significant near-term challenge is the FDA warning letter received in December 2024 and the import alert affecting Viatris&#8217; Indore facility, which management estimates will reduce 2025 revenues by&nbsp;$500 million&nbsp;and adjusted EBITDA by&nbsp;$385 million.</p>
<p>To preserve the ongoing continuity of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod, in&nbsp;February 2025, the company updated certain terms of the original global research and development collaboration agreements with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pharmaceuticals" rel="noreferrer noopener">Idorsia&nbsp;announced last year</a>.</p>
<p>Under the updated terms, Viatris will receive additional territory rights in Japan, South Korea, and certain other countries in the Asia-Pacific region for cenerimod, a reduction of certain contingent milestone payments by $250 million, of which $200 million is from future development milestones, and other considerations in exchange for Viatris assuming $100 million of Idorsia&#8217;s obligation to contribute to development costs.</p>
<p>The company announced prioritizing&nbsp;$500-650 million&nbsp;in share repurchases for 2025.</p>
<p><strong>Guidance:&nbsp;</strong>Viatris expects to deliver&nbsp;$450 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$550 million&nbsp;in new product revenues in 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;As we head into 2025, we are focused on driving strong commercial execution, advancing our pipeline—including several important late-stage development milestones for selatogrel, cenerimod and sotagliflozin and six Phase 3 readouts—prioritizing capital return with a focus on share repurchases, executing our remediation plan for Indore and beginning an enterprise-wide initiative to review our global infrastructure and identify additional cost savings,&#8221; said <strong>Scott Smith</strong>, CEO, Viatris.</p>
<p>Viatris expects 2025 adjusted EPS of $2.12-$2.26, compared to the consensus of $2.60, and sales of $13.5 billion—$14 billion, compared to the consensus of $14.3 billion.</p>

Viatris Stock Tumbles On Q4 Earnings Miss, FDA Warning Clouds 2025 Outlook

<p>Wall Street analysts rerated <strong>Paramount Global </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) after the company reported its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43997957/paramount-subscriber-growth-to-slow-in-q1-2025heres-why-the-super-bowl-boost-wont-carry-over" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter report</a> on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Paramount reported $7.98 billion in revenue, falling short of the expected $8.07 billion. The company added 5.6 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, marking its best quarter in two years.</p>
<p><strong><em>Also Read:</em></strong><em> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44011152/payoneer-q4-17-revenue-growth-22-5-billion-in-transactions-b2b-payments-up-37-revenue-target-surges" rel="noreferrer noopener">Payoneer Q4: 17% Revenue Growth, $22.5 Billion In Transactions, B2B Payments Up 37%, Revenue Target Surges</a></em></p>
<p>Guggenheim analyst Michael Morris reiterated Paramount Global with a Buy and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PARA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$14&nbsp;price target</a>.</p>
<p>Needham analyst Laura Martin maintained Paramount Global with a Hold.</p>
<p><strong>Guggenheim:</strong> Fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted OIBDA fell below Morris&#8217; and consensus forecasts, while Paramount+ subscriber growth outpaced estimates.</p>
<p>Management cited meaningful progress toward long-term goals, mainly focused on content performance and a path to domestic Direct-to-Consumer (&#8220;DTC&#8221;) profitability.</p>
<p>Adjusted OIBDA was hit by $90 million in compensation-related expenses, which he does not expect to recur. Incremental positives included Paramount+ seeing record engagement per user (up &gt;20%), achieving its $500 million in run-rate savings target in 2024, and full-year free cash flow of $489 million versus consensus of $274 million.</p>
<p>However, Morris also highlighted weaker-than-forecasted ad trends, further pressure on core network affiliate fees and another quarter of Film segment losses. Morris lowered his first-quarter OIBDA to $618 million (versus $802 million prior). However, his full-year forecast is now $2.86 billion (versus $3.0 billion prior). Skydance transactions remain on track to close in the first half of 2025.</p>
<p><strong>Needham:</strong> Paramount reported fourth-quarter 2024 revenue of $8 billion (up 5%, 3% below his estimate), operating income of $129 million (down 68%, 75% below his estimate), adjusted OIBDA of $406 million (down 22%, 35% below his estimate), and an adjusted EPS loss of $0.11 (down from $0.04 in fourth-quarter 2023 and well below his estimate of +$0.24). Paramount stated that its sale to Skydance will likely close in the first half of 2025.</p>
<p>Martin highlighted the lack of financial visibility, shrinking profitability and ROICs. He expects fiscal 2025 comps to have an impact from Paramount&#8217;s Superbowl and Political ad revenue in fiscal 2024.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action: </strong>PARA stock is down 0.67% $11.15 at last check Thursday.</p>

<p><strong>JP Morgan</strong> analyst Andrea Teixeira reiterated the Overweight rating on <strong>The Honest Company, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNST#NASDAQ">HNST</a>).</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the company reported revenue of $100 million, which increased 11%. The quarterly gross margin of 39% expande<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HNST/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">d 530 basis points year over year.</a></p>
<p>Teixeira notes that while EBITDA guidance exceeded expectations, bears may focus on the lack of EPS visibility, as the company will face easier comparisons in 2024 due to &#8220;extraordinary legal expenses.&#8221;</p>
<p>Teixeira noted that management aims to rebuild its reputation, and with $28.5 million in EBITDA, EPS is expected to turn positive annually, despite a reversal to negative in the fourth quarter to 2024. She predicts the company turning to EPS in every single quarter ahead.</p>
<p>The analyst views the company's focus on the clean and natural space as a strong position to benefit from the faster growth in this market. This growth is driven by consumers increasingly prioritizing health, wellness and sustainability in their purchase decisions across baby care, personal care and home care categories.</p>

Fed's Hammack Says Regulation Works Best In Form Of Suggestions Rather Than Punishments

<p><strong>Salesforce Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>)<strong> </strong>shares tanked in early trading on Thursday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991325/salesforce-shares-sink-after-q4-revenues-miss-estimates-weak-fy26-guidance-details">its fourth-quarter results</a>.</p>
<p>The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Needham On Salesforce</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587635595064ed000140010c/scott-berg">Analyst <strong>Scott Berg</strong></a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $400.</p>
<p>Salesforce reported fourth-quarter revenue of $10 billion and $1.75 per share, Berg said in a note. Total revenue grew by 7.6% year-on-year, 9% in constant currency terms, with subscription revenue growing 8%, he added.</p>
<p>CRPO (current remaining performance obligation) grew 9.4% year-on-year to $30.2 billion, benefitting from "strength in Data Cloud and AI along with early renewals," the analyst wrote. Management guided to revenue in the range of $40.5 billion to $40.9 billion for fiscal 2026, representing 7.4% growth at the midpoint, well below consensus of 9.2% growth to $41.375 billion, he further stated.</p>
<p><strong>Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.</strong></p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>JPMorgan On Salesforce</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d5296ab85e930001416e5a/mark-murphy">Analyst </a><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d5296ab85e930001416e5a/mark-murphy">Mark Murphy</a> </strong>reiterated an Overweight rating and price target of $380.</p>
<p>Salesforce's total revenue came in below expectation in U.S. dollar terms but ahead in constant currency terms, while Subscription &amp; Support revenue was below on a USD basis and in-line in constant currency terms, Murphy said. The fourth-quarter results were "encouraging, with cRPO CC growth accelerating from 10% in Q3 to 11% in Q4," he added.</p>
<p>Management's cRPO growth guidance in constant currency terms came in ahead of Street expectations, which is "important as cRPO is viewed as the key leading indicator for Salesforce," the analyst wrote. The revenue guidance miss is "relatively innocuous," while the Subscription &amp; Support revenue growth guidance is only below consensus by around 0.5%, he further stated.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Guggenheim Securities On Salesforce</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587f78d077f9dd000126ef0f/john-difucci">Analyst <strong>John DiFucci</strong></a> maintained a Sell rating and price target of $247.</p>
<p>Salesforce's total revenue of $9.993 billion missed consensus estimate of $10.044 billion, "which was partially driven by incremental FX headwinds, DiFucci said. Subscription revenue of $9.451 billion came in 70 basis points below Street estimates, while Professional Services revenue beat expectations by 3%, he added.</p>
<p>While management's total revenue guidance for the first quarter appears conservative, their full-year guidance calls for 32% new ACV (annual contract value) growth, the analyst stated. "CRM hasn't seen that level of New ACV growth since 2017 when it was a very different company (i.e., much better positioned)," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>CRM Price Action:</strong> Shares of Salesforce had declined by 1.17% to $303.74 at the time of publication on Thursday.</p>
