Everi Holdings (EVRI) Lags Q1 Earnings Estimates
Everi Holdings (EVRI) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.11 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.05 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -63.64%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this cash access products company would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.04, delivering a surprise of -50%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
Everi Holdings , which belongs to the Zacks Business - Services industry, posted revenues of $181.3 million for the quarter ended March 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.03%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $189.35 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Everi Holdings shares have added about 4.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -3.8%.
While Everi Holdings has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what'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'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 Everi Holdings: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
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 $0.09 on $184.85 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.24 on $743.07 million 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.

The charts show this cruise stock is going through a 'double top breakout'
Shares of Royal Caribbean (RCL) broke out to all-time highs this week, driven by renewed optimism in the summer months. Our deep dive into the technical analysis evidence suggests this could be just the beginning for this cruise line stock. Let's review the key evidence based on price and volume trends and also see what one of the classic charting methodologies can tell us about price dynamics. The daily chart of RCL features a pattern I call "moving averages proper order," where three moving averages are aligned to confirm an uptrend phase. The 20-day exponential moving average is above the 50-day simple moving average, and the 50-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average. All three moving averages are sloping higher, confirming that price is in a fairly consistent uptrend. With the move to new highs this week, Royal Caribbean was able to break above a key resistance level around $275. This level was first reached back in January and then was retested earlier this month. The push above $275 came after a pullback to the 20-day exponential moving average, providing a springboard for the current upswing. The relative strength tells the real story here, as it shows that RCL has outperformed the S & P 500 since the April market low. So not only has the stock been appreciating in absolute terms, it's also been able to outperform the benchmark during that period. With strong momentum readings and improving relative strength, the daily chart appears to be firing on all cylinders. Now let's review the volume trends to determine whether the recent upswing has been supported by additional buying power. Here we can see the On Balance Volume has been sloping higher since the April low, implying stronger volume on up days than down days. As long as the OBV keeps trending higher, that would suggest further volume support for the uptrend phase. In the bottom panel, the Chaikin Money Flow uses daily volume readings compared with price moves to determine whether a stock is in a period of accumulation or distribution. This indicator moved slightly below the zero level in early April, then popped back above zero where it has remained through this week. This consistently high reading for the CMF indicator implies that the stock is in a clear accumulation phase with definitive volume support. Finally, let's go old school technical analysis with a point & figure chart. Point & figure charts thrived in the trading pits of the Chicago exchanges, where traders would hand draw charts based on the daily trading activity. A column of X's represents an uptrend where the highs are getting higher, and a column of O's confirms a downtrend where the lows are getting lower. Traders value this charting style as it focuses on signal over noise, eliminating the noise of daily price bars to simply analyze uptrends and downtrends. Right in the middle of the chart, you'll see a number 4 which represents April 1. Soon after, a column of O's dropped significantly as RCL approached a major price low in early April. This down move is known as a "low pole warning" as the price has driven lower with no real pause in the trend. That next column of X's represents a "low pole reversal" where the downtrend has been alleviated and traders should anticipate further upside as a result. More recently, we can observe a "double top breakout" where a column of X's breaks above the previous column of X's. This breakout pattern is the most basic buy signal in the point & figure methodology, signifying that a new uptrend has broken above the upper bounds of the previous uptrend phase. Given this recent double top breakout, combined with improving volume and relative strength characteristics, Royal Caribbean appears to be sailing onward and ever upward. -David Keller, CMT DISCLOSURES: None.

Generator stock Generac heads for best week since November amid heat wave, looming storm threats
With hurricane season underway and an oppressive heat wave rolling across parts of the nation, investors have been snapping up shares of Generac. The backup-generator maker is on track for its sixth straight day of gains and best week since November 2024. It is up nearly 12% this week. High temperatures blanketed areas through the central and eastern United States starting last weekend, resulting in reported power outages in states such as New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Extreme heat warnings and advisories are still in effect for parts of the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley and Southeast, affecting 130 million people, the National Weather Service said. On top of that, this Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be above normal, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The agency expects 13 to 19 total named storms, with six to 10 expected to become hurricanes. Of those, three to five are anticipated to be "major hurricanes," which are categories 3, 4 or 5. The heat and storms are putting strain on the United States' already stressed and aging power grid — and it is expected to get worse. The risk of power outages caused by hurricanes could jump by 50% or more in some parts of the nation due to climate change, which could affect future storm characteristics, according to research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Electric Power Research Institute last year. This week, tropical storm Andrea became the first of the season, albeit briefly, according to AccuWeather. It quickly returned to a tropical rainstorm when winds subsided, the weather service said. Generac CEO Aaron Jagdfeld addressed the issue in October with CNBC's Jim Cramer. The severe weather, plus the new crop of data centers, is putting a strain on the system, he said. "This has become a massively critical discussion point," Jagdfeld said on "Mad Money." "This is only going to get worse." Bank of America is forecasting electrical load growing at a 2.5% compound annual growth rate over 2024 through 2035. Other names to watch include Trane Technologies, which makes cooling systems for residences and businesses — including data centers. The stock currently has an average rating of hold by the analysts that cover it, according to FactSet. Utility stocks are also expected to benefit from the increase in power demand. Bank of America said it expects "significant" tailwinds in the second half for the power sector, with data centers deals helping improve margins for names like Constellation Energy and Vistra. Still, with the utilities sector outperforming the S&P 500 this year, the bank is being selective. "Versus that sector outperformance we would prefer laggards that have catalysts to drive outperformance in the second half," analyst Ross Fowler wrote. His preferred opportunities include Sempra, Northwestern Energy and Alliant Energy.

Job market could get rocked by surprising unemployment report
It's been one "strong job market report" after another. Investors continue dancing to that beat, as we stare down a record high for the S&P 500. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Mr. Market is brushing off any wobble in weekly unemployment claims as mostly seasonal noise. Peel back the curtain, however, and the continuing claims paint a more mixed story about a fragile economic state. The latest jobless claims update drives that point home and could shake the economy. Over the past few months, weekly jobless claims in the U.S. have fallen in a pattern that gives off mixed signals. In early April, initial claims nudged up to 223,000 in the week ending April 5. This represents a modest rise of 4,000, but economists expected the number to remain flat. Businesses were already feeling the heat due to the threat of new tariffs, and March hiring numbers were underwhelming. Just 228,000 jobs were added, with unemployment ticking up to 4.2%.

Claims rose by 18,000 to 241,000, the highest they'd been in a couple of months. Sure, spring breaks played a part, but beneath the surface, you had corporate America feeling the squeeze from tariffs. May brought its mix of highs and lows as well. Things picked up strongly, with claims dropping by 13,000 to 228,000. By mid-month, filings hovered around 229,000, but by May 24, claims shot up to 240,000, the biggest weekly spike in over a year. It wasn't just about the seasonal hires this time, though. More on Markets: Housing market update spells more troubleWhy Thursday's market bell might echo in historyWall Street veteran analyst who predicted stock market rally resets forecast Layoffs were starting to impact areas like transportation and hospitality, once considered safe from recession talk. And June's data felt more like walking a tightrope. The month kicked off with claims climbing to 248,000, and up until last week, the four-week average crept up to 245,500, the highest it's been in nearly two years. That was all before today's update, adding a new twist to the story. For the week ending June 21, initial jobless claims dropped to 236,000, 10,000 lower than the week before and below the 244,000 forecast. That comes with a catch, though, as last week's numbers were quietly revised to 246,000 - a soft win, at best. Meanwhile, continuing claims surged by 37,000 to 1.974 million, the highest since late 2021.

Unadjusted state filings dropped 4% to 227,080, again mostly in line with last year once you factor out seasonal noise. Moreover, with the insured unemployment rate at 1.2%, things continue to look bleak for those already out of work. Nevertheless, it seems the markets are shrugging off those darker themes. S&P 500 futures briefly popped to 6,171 earlier today, topping the prior intraday record of 6,166. Hence, Mr. Market's still buying the corporate resilience story, even as the jobless rolls tell a more cautionary tale.
