Why Q2 Holdings Stock Could Be Your Next Big Buy

As Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) prepares to launch its next-gen Blackwell GPU platform, excitement is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">building among investors</a>. 
JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur has asserted that the company is on track for a spectacular fiscal fourth quarter.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Behind The Curtain: Yield Issues? What Yield Issues?</h2>
&#8220;The team characterized the early product yield issues as ‘behind the team' post a mask fix on the B200 GPU chip,&#8221; Sur noted after an insightful investor meeting. As a result, the company is gearing up for a significant shipment volume that will likely bolster its financials.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noise, Noise, Noise: Stay Focused On Blackwell</h2>
Despite recent sell-side noise surrounding rackscale portfolio changes, Sur said that investors should not be distracted. &#8220;The Blackwell GPU platform [is] supporting over 100 different system configurations,&#8221; he pointed out, contrasting it with the mere 19-20 options available with the prior generation Hopper GPU platform.
This broader configuration flexibility positions Nvidia as a front-runner in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Future-Proofing: AI Spending To Skyrocket</h2>
Looking ahead, Nvidia&#8217;s leadership in AI and accelerated compute spending is expected to sustain growth well into 2025 and beyond. 
"The team remains confident on the sustainability of XPU infrastructure spending over the next several years," Sur said, citing the exponential scaling of foundational models and AI workloads.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Fortress Of Dominance: Nvidia's Competitive Edge</h2>
Nvidia's ability to lead in both AI innovation and key global markets reinforces its unmatched position in the tech industry.
Sur said, &#8220;the two markets where the Nvidia platform / software / ecosystem has strong incumbency is in the enterprise and China markets,&#8221; highlighting its robust ecosystem of partners.
As Nvidia continues to forge ahead, the anticipation for the Blackwell ramp is palpable, and the AI revolution shows no signs of slowing down. 
With a current share price of $118.93, having risen 147% year to date, investors are likely to keep their eyes on Nvidia as it navigates the burgeoning AI landscape.

A new ad for Florida's marijuana legalization initiative, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d">Amendment 3</a>, highlights a rare bipartisan consensus among presidential candidates and their running mates from both the Democratic and Republican parties: all of them oppose criminalizing cannabis users.
Titled &#8220;We're All Saying the Same Thing,&#8221; the ad was launched by the Smart &amp; Safe Florida campaign on Wednesday.
The <a href="https://smartandsafeflorida.com/smart-safe-florida-releases-new-digital-ad-were-all-saying-the-same-thing/">ad features</a> clips of VP Kamala Harris, her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, former President Donald Trump and his his running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance all voicing support for cannabis reform, albeit with differing approaches.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not politics. It&#8217;s common sense. We&#8217;re all saying the same thing, no one should be arrested for possessing small amounts of marijuana,&#8221; notes Smart and Safe Florida, the group behind the legalization initiative.

The ad shows Harris reiterating her support for marijuana legalization in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41106120/kamala-harris-we-need-to-legalize-cannabis-vp-says-for-first-time-as-presidential-candidate-in-a">recent interview</a> with former NBA players&nbsp;Matt Barnes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stephen Jackson on the podcast "All the Smoke." 
Walz also talks about legalization, having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/05/32631259/gov-walz-signs-cannabis-legalization-into-law-former-gov-jesse-ventura-attends-ceremony">recently signed </a>Minnesota's law permitting recreational use. Walz, like Harris, leans towards federal reform but believes states should take the lead.
Then there's Trump, a Florida resident who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666944/donald-trump-supports-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-game-changer-and-huge-blow-to-ron-desanti">has endorsed Amendment 3</a>, which would legalize adult recreational use. The ad splices together comments from Trump going back to 2015, when he said marijuana should be a state issue with clips of when he recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40776937/trump-joins-millions-of-americans-who-support-rescheduling-cannabis-weed-industry-responds-to-fo">expressed support for federal rescheduling</a> of cannabis and improving access to banking for the marijuana industry.
Senator Vance is an advocate for states&#8217; rights, often criticizing federal cannabis reform. Though the Ohio senator was not enthusiastic when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/11/35664155/ohio-legalizes-cannabis-and-overwhelmingly-approves-abortion-rights">voters legalized recreation weed</a> in his state last November. 
Morgan Hill, spokesperson for Smart &amp; Safe Florida, said Amendment 3 transcends party politics. "Supporting the legalization of recreational adult use marijuana is about upholding the principles of individual freedom and liberty that our country was founded upon,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Amendment 3 will end the unjust and unneeded arrests of individuals who consume marijuana for personal use, give adults the right to make their own choices, and honor the core values that define the Free State of Florida and our nation."

RPM International (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rpm#NYSE">RPM</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.84 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.76 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.64 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 4.55%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this specialty chemicals company would post earnings of $1.56 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.56, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
RPM International, which belongs to the Zacks Paints and Related Products industry, posted revenues of $1.97 billion for the quarter ended August 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.40%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.01 billion. 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.
RPM International shares have added about 7.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 19.7%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for RPM International?</h2>
While RPM International has underperformed 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 RPM International: mixed. 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 #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with 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 $1.35 on $1.82 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.49 on $7.48 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, Paints and Related Products is currently in the top 7% 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.
Another stock from the same industry, Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/shw#NYSE">SHW</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2024. The results are expected to be released on October 22.
This paint and coatings maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.55 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Sherwin-Williams&#39; revenues are expected to be $6.26 billion, up 2.3% from the year-ago quarter.

Why It Matters: With Bitcoin prices plunging to lows of $60,000, ByBit partner Justin Bennett <a href="https://x.com/JustinBennettFX/status/1841507522873618487">cautioned</a> investors to be careful with Bitcoin's relief rally. He pointed out that the failure at $64,700 has opened up sell-side liquidity and predicted that $57,000 remains open for business after the crypto king met tapped $60,000.
Another trader expects "at least one more run on the lows." He suggests that if there is a drop further then he will add more Bitcoin long positions as he continues to remain strong on altcoins.
