Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Tuesday

SPANISH BRDCSTNG SYS A by Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.

Spanish Broadcasting System Inc

Procter &amp; Gamble Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">are trading slightly higher on Thursday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported second-quarter sales growth of 2% year-on-year to $21.9 billion, beating the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43124975/why-gillette-parent-procter-gambles-stock-is-rising-today">consensus estimate of $21.542 billion</a>. Adjusted EPS of $1.88&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of $1.86.</a>
Here are the analyst takes on the company&#8217;s earnings performance.
Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog reiterated the Neutral rating on Procter &amp; Gamble,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PG/analyst-ratings"> raising the price forecast to $165 from $164.</a>
Herzog expressed increasing optimism about Procter &amp; Gamble following stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, with organic sales growth of +3%, surpassing consensus expectations of 2.0%–2.5%.
This was mainly driven by better-than-expected volume/mix performance, the analyst wrote. While there were concerns about an end-market slowdown and previous headwinds like Blue Yonder and FX, management highlighted strong customer orders in late December, which helped offset disruptions from Blue Yonder.
About 85% of the business in regions such as the U.S., Europe, and Latin America continued to grow around 4%, with improvements seen in China. However, management warned conditions in China may remain volatile.
The strong sales growth in Beauty and Baby, Fem &amp; Family Care segments, particularly driven by SK-II and Family Care, were key contributors to the top-line beat, the analyst adds.
Herzog viewed the company as one of the most resilient HPC companies in its coverage, with potential for +MSD EPS growth in the long term due to strong top-line performance, easing input costs, and operating leverage.
The analyst&#8217;s optimism increased after the company&#8217;s solid organic sales growth, positive comments on a stable consumer environment, and improving trends in China.

Stifel analyst Mark S. Astrachan reiterated the Hold rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $165 from $161.
Astrachan sees near-term risk/reward for P&amp;G shares as balanced, with valuation slightly below historical averages.
The analyst projects accelerating organic sales and EBIT growth through F2025, driven by favorable comparisons and high base period marketing spend.
Growth is anticipated to be supported by improving trends in China, where sales increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to declines in previous quarters.
The analyst notes, SK-II trends also showed improvement, with a 3% year-over-year increase and a ~1000bps sequential improvement in the two-year CAGR. U.S. sales, which represented 48% of total sales, remained solid and grew 4%, consistent with recent trends.
BofA Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillane maintained a Buy rating on Procter &amp; Gamble, with a price forecast of $190.
The analyst noted that in Africa/Middle East, the company would be comparing against last year&#8217;s conflict-related softness, while in China, a sequential improvement in sales signaled improving momentum.
Management remains cautious about the Chinese consumer, but with SK-II returning to growth in 2Q, there is optimism for improvement in other struggling markets.
In Latin America/Europe, easing comparisons and improving trends in North America should support growth in the core 85% of the company&#8217;s markets, which requires only -3% growth in the rest of the regions to meet the low end of the +3% organic growth target.
The analyst also highlighted that hurricane-related pantry-loading in the U.S. last quarter may affect consumption in the third quarter, but the company&#8217;s proven innovation and activation strategies should help boost growth in the fourth quarter.
PG Price Action: Procter &amp; Gamble shares are trading higher by 0.64% to $165.80 at last check Thursday.

Procter & Gamble's Q2 Surge: Optimism Grows Amid Stable US Sales, Improving Trends In China

Wall Street traded slightly higher during midday Thursday as investors assessed the ongoing earnings season while closely monitoring policy signals<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump"> from President Donald Trump. </a>
The Dow Jones Industrial Average outperformed, buoyed by strength in industrials, utilities, and healthcare stocks, pushing the blue-chip index closer to record highs. 
Tech stocks retreated, pulling back after Wednesday's sharp rally. Semiconductors led the decline, surrendering a significant portion of their previous gains, which were fueled by optimism over the $500 billion AI Stargate initiative. 
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) slipped 0.8%, on track to snap five straight sessions of gains. 
Trump addressed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43170854/trump-outlines-economic-reset-at-davos-5-things-you-need-to-know">World Economic Forum via videoconference</a>, advocating for expanded oil &amp; gas production and proposing a 15% corporate tax rate for businesses relocating manufacturing to the U.S. 
He also reiterated plans to impose tariffs on countries with large trade deficits with the U.S., issuing warnings to Europe, Canada, and China. 
Additionally, Trump called on Saudi Arabia and OPEC to lower oil prices. Crude fell 0.7%, marking its fifth consecutive session of losses, the longest losing streak since June 2024. 
In the bond market, volatility resurfaced after a brief period of stability. The 30-year Treasury yield climbed 4 basis points to 4.89%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rebounded 2.2% to $105,000, erasing Wednesday's losses.

Dow Jones Nears Records, Tech Pullbacks, Treasury Yields Rise Again: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Eagle Materials's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXP#NYSE">EXP</a>) short percent of float has fallen 24.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 716 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.29 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Eagle Materials has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Eagle Materials's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Eagle Materials's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.34%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Webster Finl?

A short report from Spruce Point Capital Management on Thursday sent shares of Construction Partners Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROAD#NASDAQ">ROAD</a>) tumbling. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43159674/spruce-point-capital-management-announces-investment-opinion-releases-report-and-strong-sell-resea">investors need to know</a>.
What To Know: Short-selling investment management firm Spruce Point released a new research report on Construction Partners titled,&nbsp;&#8220;An As-Faulty Investment,&#8221;&nbsp;claiming the company&#8217;s business is under pressure and faces 35% to 50% downside.
Spruce Point claimed that increased pressure on the company&#8217;s business has resulted in revenue growth failures and weakening backlog, return on capital and free cash flow conversion. The short seller believes that weakness in Construction Partners&#8217; business is being &#8220;masked by poor transparency and aggressive financial presentation methods.&#8221;
Benzinga has reached out to Construction Partners for comment on the Spruce Point report.
Spruce Point highlighted several concerns related to poor transparency including frequent changes to the company&#8217;s market leadership claims and changes to contractor rankings that suggest the business is under pressure. 
The short seller noted that Construction Partners rarely breaks down its guidance to show how much growth is organic and instead relies on acquisitions for growth. Spruce Point also claimed that the company&#8217;s contract mix is getting worse and that management has made changes to cash flow reporting that appear to be beneficial to reported results. 
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43169109/blackrocks-larry-fink-warns-that-new-inflationary-pressures-could-shock-the-stock-market-it-could-be-pretty-bad">BlackRock&#8217;s Larry Fink Warns That New Inflationary Pressures Could &#8216;Shock&#8217; The Stock Market: &#8216;It Could Be Pretty Bad&#8217;</a>
Construction Partners&#8217; biggest customer is the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), but Spruce Point believes contract awards from FDOT are set to decline materially. 
&#8220;Just a few years ago, Florida was contributing under&nbsp;10%&nbsp;to total revenue but recently approached&nbsp;14%&nbsp;in FY24. While ROAD&#8217;s total revenue growth was ~16.6%&nbsp;in FY24, Florida&#8217;s growth exceeded&nbsp;48%,&#8221; the short seller said. 
&#8220;However, based on our recent Freedom of Information Act (&#8220;FOIA&#8221;) request with FDOT, we believe Florida revenue is poised to decelerate.&#8221;
Spruce Point estimated that Construction Partners will experience an EBITDA decline of $10 million to $15 million in 2025 based on a slowing of Florida contract awards. 
The short seller also noted that it believes Construction Partners is focused on expanding to Texas and Oklahoma to deflect attention away from declines in Florida. The short seller is skeptical about the financials of the company&#8217;s recent acquisition of Lone Star Paving, claiming that market models have failed to accurately calculate equity and enterprise values, which has led to an inflated valuation.
&#8220;Valuing ROAD&#8217;s shares in-line with industry peers and its long-term average multiple suggest&nbsp;35%–50%&nbsp;long-term potential downside risk ($46&nbsp;–&nbsp;$60&nbsp;per share). We expect ROAD&#8217;s share price to meaningfully underperform its industry peers and the overall U.S. equity market,&#8221; Spruce Point said.
ROAD Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/road">Construction Partners shares</a> were down 10.6% at $82.86 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The stock remains above its eight-, 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages, reinforcing a solid uptrend and consistent buying pressure. Additionally, Intuitive Surgical stock is comfortably positioned above its eight-day ($574.69), 20-day ($549.32), 50-day ($543.34) and 200-day ($469.79) simple moving averages, all of which generate bullish signals.
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 16.28 further supports the stock's upward trajectory, while the RSI (relative strength index) at 76.65 suggests Intuitive Surgical is approaching overbought levels, potentially leading to near-term consolidation.
The sustained technical strength indicates growing investor confidence, with momentum traders likely to stay engaged as long as Intuitive Surgical holds above these key support levels.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
