It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Agilent Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/a#NYSE">A</a>). Shares have added about 1.2% in that time frame, underperforming the S&amp;P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Agilent due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let&#39;s take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
<h3>Agilent Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates</h3>
Agilent Technologies has delivered third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings of $1.32 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.6%. However, the bottom line decreased 8% from the year-ago quarter.
Revenues of $1.58 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.56 billion. The top line declined 5.6% on a reported basis and 4.4% on a core basis from the year-ago quarter.
The decline was attributed to broad-based weakness across the Pharma, Food, Chemical and Advanced Materials, and Academic and Government markets.
Weak momentum in China was another concern.
Nevertheless, the company witnessed improvements in the Diagnostics and Clinical, and Environmental and Forensics markets in the reported quarter.
<h3>Segmental Top-Line Details</h3>
Agilent has three reporting segments &mdash; Life Sciences &amp; Applied Markets Group (&quot;LSAG&quot;), Agilent Cross Lab Group (&quot;ACG&quot;), and Diagnostics and Genomics Group (&quot;DGG&quot;).
LSAG: The segment accounted for $782 million or 50% of the company&#39;s total revenues, down 8% on a reported basis and 7% on a core basis from the prior-year quarter. This was due to softness in the instrument business, and weakening momentum across all the geographic regions and end markets, except for Environmental and Forensics. The reported figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $849 million.
ACG: Revenues from the segment were $411 million, accounting for 26% of the total revenues. The figure surpassed the consensus mark of $385 million. The top line improved 4% from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis and rose 5% on a core basis. This was driven by strong growth in service contract revenues. Growing momentum across all geographic regions, except for China, was a positive.
DGG: Revenues decreased 9% year over year on a reported and 8% on a core basis to $385 million, accounting for the remaining 24% of the total revenues. The figure beat the consensus mark of $332 million. Sluggishness in Genomics, Cell Analysis and NASD was concerning.
<h3>Operating Results</h3>
For the fiscal third quarter, the gross margin in the LSAG segment expanded by 10 basis points (bps) to 60.2% from the prior-year quarter. ACG&#39;s gross margin expanded by 120 bps to 52.1%. DGG&#39;s gross margin contracted 170 bps year over year to 51.8%.
Research and development (&quot;R&amp;D&quot;) expenses were $127 million, up 7.6% from the prior-year quarter. Selling, general and administrative (&quot;SG&amp;A&quot;) expenses were $395 million, down 2.9% from the year-earlier quarter. As a percentage of revenues, R&amp;D expenses expanded by 90 bps year over year to 8%, whereas SG&amp;A expenses increased 70 bps year over year to 25%.
The operating margin for the fiscal third quarter was 21.1%, which expanded significantly from 7.9% in the year-earlier quarter.
Segment-wise, the operating margin in the LSAG segment contracted by 260 bps to 28.4% from the prior-year quarter. ACG&#39;s operating margin expanded by 130 bps year over year to 34%. DGG&#39;s operating margin contracted 440 bps year over year to 18.3%.
<h3>Balance Sheet</h3>
As of Jul 31, 2024, Agilent&#39;s cash and cash equivalents were $1.78 billion, up from $1.67 billion as of Apr 30, 2024.
Accounts receivables were $1.23 billion at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2024 compared with $1.25 billion at the end of second-quarter fiscal 2024.
The long-term debt was $2.137 billion for the reported quarter compared with $2.136 billion in the prior quarter.
<h3>Guidance</h3>
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, management expects revenues of $1.641-$1.691 billion, suggesting a decline of 2.8% to an increase of 0.2% on a reported basis and a decrease of 1.9% to a rise of 1.1% on a core basis from the year-ago quarter&#39;s actuals.
Non-GAAP fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share are expected to be $1.38-$1.42.
For fiscal 2024, management revised its revenue guidance from $6.42-$6.50 billion to $6.45-6.50 billion, implying a fall of 5.6-4.9% on a reported basis and 5-4.3% on a core basis from the fiscal 2023 reported figure.
The company also revised fiscal 2024 non-GAAP earnings per share guidance from $5.15-$5.25 to $5.21-5.25.
<h2>How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?</h2>
In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.
<h2>VGM Scores</h2>
Currently, Agilent has an average Growth Score of C, a grade with the same score on the momentum front. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of D. If you aren&#39;t focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
<h2>Outlook</h2>
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Agilent has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

<h3>About Roblox</h3>
Roblox operates an online video game platform that lets young gamers create, develop, and monetize games (or "experiences") for other players. The firm effectively offers its developers a hybrid of a game engine, publishing platform, online hosting and services, marketplace with payment processing, and social network. The platform is a closed garden that Roblox controls, earning revenue in multiple places while benefiting from outsourced game development. Unlike traditional video game publishers, Roblox is more focused on the creation of new tools and monetization techniques for its developers then creating new games or franchises.
In light of the recent options history for Roblox, it's now appropriate to focus on the company itself. We aim to explore its current performance.
<h3>Current Position of Roblox</h3>

If you can flash back to basic physics classes without opening traumatic wounds, you will remember the three laws of motion. They apply to market and stock trends just as much as they do in the physical world.
Rumors, stories, or dozens of other sources can create momentum by causing buying pressure to overwhelm sellers and drive a higher stock price.
We see it all the time in small stocks, especially clinical-stage biotechs.
A story begins to circulate about cancer-killing drugs or treatments that allow one to maintain a diet of bonbons, donuts, and double bacon cheeseburgers, as well as chain-smoking two packs a day but live forever.
When the story proves to be untrue, traders dump the stock, buyers disappear, and the price collapses.
That is not to say that price momentum is unimportant or not a wildly profitable strategy for buying stocks.
It very much is, and almost all the biggest winners in stock market history had powerful momentum.
However, that momentum did not result from stories, rumors, manipulation, or other forces with no staying power.
Instead, research shows that there's a secret to finding companies with the most powerful momentum…
Remember that force determines the strength of motion.
Trends, like anything else, remain in motion as long as there is a force providing the energy needed to sustain movement against friction.
A powerful force needs to drive the price for momentum to drive a stock to continual new highs and allow investors to cash in huge profits.
There needs to be a continual stream of new information that attracts buyers.
That powerful stream of information is fundamental.
The company needs to be constantly improving.
Sales need to be rising quickly.
Those sales need to be turned into rapidly growing profits.
The company must constantly exceed the expectations of the analysts and institutional investors that control massive amounts of buying power.
In 2021, professors from universities in Asia and the United States collaborated on a research paper titled &#8220;Twin Momentum: Fundamental Trends Matter.&#8221;
They found that the secret to identifying potential winners was finding companies with outstanding fundamentals that attracted massive buying interest and climbed higher almost continuously for a long time.
Think about some of the biggest market winners of the last few years.
NVIDIA (NVDA) has been growing sales and earnings very rapidly, and institutional buyers are just pouring money into the stock.
The stock has climbed almost tenfold since it started attracting institutional buying as the market recovered in 2020.
It is not just the super sexy headline stocks that deliver these returns.
Consider Limbach Holdings (LMB), a stock I recommended to readers in early 2023.
The company is a relatively boring business that provides building contracting services, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, and building controls, to design and construct new and renovated buildings.
They changed their business model from contractor-based to working directly with business owners, and profits exploded.
As the fundamentals improved, the stock attracted big money buying, soaring from under $12 to over $70 in less than 18 months.
I can go on for a long time with examples of previous winners, but that will not give you any ideas that will help you unlock massive gains in the future.
Let us look at some companies that have powerful fundamental momentum and are attracting buying interest that could push their stock prices to several multiples of the current quarter&#8217;s price.
I know the first Twin Momentum stock well. We (and by we, I mean my wife) usually make the food for our dogs, but when we are stretched for time, we will turn to the food produced by Freshpet (FRPT).
We are not the only ones who like the company&#8217;s products, as sales and prices are soaring.
The stock has steadily climbed higher, but profits are expected to continue climbing, taking the stock price higher as well.
Wall Street has continually underestimated this company as Freshpet has beaten analyst estimates by a huge margin in each of the last four quarters.
Analysts have been scrambling to keep up and getting higher estimates, another factor attracting more buying interest from institutions.
Health insurance is not usually considered a high-growth business, but Oscar Health (OSCR) is a company that is used to breaking the rules. The company focuses on technology to gain an advantage over competitors and provide a better experience for policyholders.
Revenues have been growing rapidly, and the company has turned the current situation into profitability.
The earnings gains in the future should be massive and drive the stock dramatically higher.
Wall Street has been optimistic about Oscar&#8217;s health prospects, but even that optimism has been too low.
The company has been exceeding analyst estimates every quarter, and analysts are racing to raise their estimates of Oscar Health&#8217;s profit potential.
This could be the start of a long run of long-term financial momentum, driving massive stock gains for investors.
A trend in motion will stay in motion as long as there is energy to drive it.
Twin momentum strategies can help you find the companies with the energy to keep climbing for a very long time.
