Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Worthington Enterprises, Raises Price Target to $49

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a sharp decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index falling for the 10th session in a row, dipping more than 1,100 points during the session.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell adopted a hawkish stance during his Wednesday press conference after the December Fed meeting. Although the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 0.25% to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, as widely anticipated, the updated economic projections suggest just two potential rate cuts in 2025 — down from four projected in September and fewer than the three anticipated by markets before the meeting.
On the economic data front, the U.S. recorded a current account deficit of $310.9 billion in the third quarter compared to the revised gap of $275.0 billion in the previous period, versus market estimates of a $284 billion gap. U.S. housing starts fell 1.8% to an annualized rate of 1.289 million units in November from 1.312 million in October.
General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) shares fell around 3% on Wednesday following the release of second-quarter results. Shares of Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOR#NYSE">WOR</a>) rose around 10% during Wednesday&#8217;s session as the company posted better-than-expected results for its second quarter.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, real estate, and communication services stocks recording the biggest losses on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 1,123 points to 42,326.87 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 2.95% to 5,872.16, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 3.56% at 19,392.69 during Wednesday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Accenture Plc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), and FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 33.9, the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 50.7.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Falls For 8th Session, While Nasdaq Hits Record High As Apple, Alphabet, And Tesla Rise: Fear Index Shifts To 'Greed' Zone

Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOR#NYSE">WOR</a>) will release earnings for its second quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WOR/earnings">closing bell on Tuesday, Dec. 17.</a>
Analysts expect the Columbus, Ohio-based company to report quarterly earnings at 52 cents per share, down from 78 cents per share in the year-ago period. Worthington projects to report quarterly revenue of $273.77 million, compared to $1.09 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Sept. 24, Worthington posted weaker-than-expected result for its second quarter.
With the recent buzz around Worthington, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Worthington offers an annual dividend yield of 1.73%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 17 cents per share (68 cents a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $346,254 or around 8,824 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $69,259 or around 1,765 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($0.68 in this case). So, $6,000 / $0.68 = 8,824 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $0.68 = 1,765 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
WOR Price Action: Shares of Worthington gained 0.3% to close at $39.24 on Friday.
