Buy Or Sell ICE Stock Ahead Of Q1 Results?
Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) is expected to announce its earnings on Thursday, May 1, 2025. Revenues are anticipated to increase approximately 10% year-over-year to $1.23 billion, while earnings are forecasted to be roughly $0.77 per share, an increase of about $0.14 compared to a year ago. Several trends have been contributing to recent performance, including record activity in futures and options, as well as heightened trading volumes in energy and interest rates. These trends are likely to persist in Q1, with the markets experiencing significant volatility. When ICE disclosed its Q4 earnings in January, it indicated that January trading volumes had already risen 21% year-over-year, with open interest up 11%, suggesting ongoing momentum in its futures and options division.
The company currently has a market capitalization of $94 billion. Revenue for the past twelve months was $12 billion, and it was operationally profitable with $4.4 billion in operating profits and a net income of $2.8 billion. That said, for those seeking greater returns with lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and yielded returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

A relatively lower-risk approach (although not beneficial if the correlation is weak) is to analyze the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identify a pair with the highest correlation, and perform the corresponding trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D demonstrate the highest correlation, a trader can adopt a 'long' position for the subsequent 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on 5-year and more recent 3-year history. Note that the correlation noted as 1D_5D refers to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the following 5D returns.
Occasionally, the performance of peers can affect post-earnings reactions in stocks. Pricing may start to be factored in before the earnings announcement. Here is some historical data comparing the post-earnings performance of Intercontinental Exchange stock to the stock performance of peers that released earnings prior to Intercontinental Exchange. For a fair assessment, peer stock returns also represent post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.

Where Will ChargePoint Stock Be in 1 Year?
ChargePoint's revenues are still declining in this challenging market. Its margins are improving, and a cyclical turnaround could be around the corner. Its stock looks undervalued relative to its growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than ChargePoint › ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), the leading builder of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in North America and Europe, posted its latest earnings report on June 4. For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on April 30, the company's revenue fell 9% year over year to $97.6 million, missing analysts' expectations by $2.9 million. It narrowed its net loss from $71.8 million to $57.1 million, or $0.12 per share, which cleared the consensus forecast by a penny. ChargePoint's stock rallied after that mixed earnings report, but it's still down about 60% over the past 12 months. Will it stabilize and recover over the following year? ChargePoint ended its first quarter with more than 352,000 charging ports, including over 35,000 DC fast chargers, under its direct management. Its roaming partnerships also grant its customers access to more than 1.25 million charging ports across the world. ChargePoint mainly sells connected charging stations to residential and commercial properties that want to host their own chargers and set their own prices. It provides those hosts with network access, billing, and customer support services. That sets it apart from Tesla's Superchargers, which mainly serve as extensions of the automaker and offer fewer connected and customizable features. ChargePoint grew rapidly in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 (which ended in January 2023), as EV sales surged in the post-pandemic market. But in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, its growth stalled out as rising interest rates chilled the EV market and drove its residential and commercial customers to postpone their installations of new charging stalls. But in fiscal 2025, its adjusted gross, operating, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins all improved as it narrowed its net loss. Its margins continued to expand in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, even as its revenue declined. Metric FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Q1 2026 Revenue $242 million $468 million $507 million $417 million $98 million Growth (YOY) 65% 93% 8% (18%) (9%) Adjusted gross margin 24% 20% 8% 26% 31% Operating margin (110%) (73%) (89%) (61%) (55%) Net income (loss) ($299 million) ($345 million) ($458 million) ($283 million) ($57 million) Adjusted EBITDA N/A ($217 million) ($273 million) ($117 million) ($23 million) Data source: ChargePoint. YOY = Year-over-year. FY = fiscal year. EBITDA = earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. ChargePoint attributes those margin improvements to the growth of its higher-margin subscription and software services -- which offset the lower margins of its chargers -- a big reduction in its inventories, and sweeping cost-cutting initiatives. ChargePoint expects to generate $90 million to $100 million in revenue in the second quarter, which would represent a decline of 8% to 17% from a year ago. During the earnings call, CFO Mansi Khetani said the company was "guiding with caution due to the continued changes in the macro environment, including tariff uncertainty" and its focus on integrating its charging stalls with Eaton's electrical grid solutions through a new one-stop shop partnership. ChargePoint didn't provide a full-year revenue outlook. However, it reiterated its goal of achieving a positive adjusted EBITDA in a single quarter of fiscal 2026. Analysts expect its revenue to come in nearly flat for the full year, which implies its revenue growth will improve in the second half of the year as the macroenvironment warms up and the EV market stabilizes. They expect its annual adjusted EBITDA to improve to negative $63 million. ChargePoint's growth may seem anemic right now, but it still has enough liquidity to ride out the near-term headwinds. It ended the first quarter with $196 million in cash and cash equivalents, it hasn't drawn a single dollar from its $150 million revolving credit facility, and it won't face any debt maturities until 2028. For fiscal 2027, analysts expect ChargePoint's revenue to rise 29% to $537 million with a negative adjusted EBITDA of $16 million. For fiscal 2028, they expect its revenue to grow 33% to $713 million with a positive adjusted EBITDA of $67 million. We should take those optimistic estimates with a grain of salt, but its cyclical downturn could represent a good buying opportunity for investors who can tune out the near-term noise. With an enterprise value of $465 million, it looks extremely undervalued at just over 1 times this year's sales. If ChargePoint meets analysts' expectations and trades at just 2 times its forward sales by the beginning of fiscal 2027, its stock price could easily rally more than 130% over the next 12 months.
