After reaching an important support level, Hudson Technologies, Inc. (HDSN) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. HDSN recently experienced a "golden cross" event, which saw its 50-day simple moving average breaking out above its 200-day simple moving average.
A controversial proposal to build a $12 billion casino complex in Hudson Yards near the High Line was dropped in the face of fierce community opposition, officials said Monday. The Wynn Resort-Related Companies partnership announced it withdrew the bid, which was due for submission next month.
Canadian Tire Corporation Limited (TSX:CTC.A) said on Thursday it will acquire Hudson's Bay's intellectual property for about C$30 million, including the iconic department store's striped branding and coat of arms, as the 355-year-old retailer prepares to shutter its stores and pay down more than C$1 billion in debt. The deal includes trademarks such as Hudson's Bay's recognizable four-stripe motif, various company names and logos, and is subject to approval by an Ontario court.
Hudson Technologies has shown strong performance, delivering a ~30% return since my last article, outperforming the S&P 500's ~5% return. Despite a decline in 1Q25 earnings due to lower refrigerant prices, HDSN maintains a strong balance sheet with ~$81 million in cash and strategic share repurchases. Refrigerant prices are improving post-1Q25, potentially boosting HDSN's gross margins back to sustainable levels, with the AIM act serving as a long-term catalyst.
Hudson Technologies surged 20% post-earnings but retraced 4% despite YoY revenue and EPS declines, highlighting its volatility and sensitivity to refrigerant prices. The company focuses on reclaiming and reselling used refrigerants, crucial as virgin refrigerants are phased out, impacting its financials significantly. Q1 2025 saw a 15% revenue drop and a 76% decline in operating income, but strong cash flow and no debt position are positives.
We have rated HPP a sell since January 2024. The recent quarter once again validated the thesis. If you want to chase yield, go for the bonds where we think recovery to current price is possible in the best-case scenario.

Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP) appears heavily discounted at 30% of NAV, but high leverage changes the math. An 18% decline in asset value could wipe out common shares, highlighting the risk despite the apparent discount. Investment success hinges on a fundamental turnaround in HPP's office assets, not just the current low stock price.
RioCan's financials converted us to a bullish stance, despite initial concerns about debt and residential focus over retail leasing. We recommended a buy due to attractive valuation and entered using covered calls, which paid off well. We look at the recent drop in light of the Hudson's Bay news, and tell you why it is a bit overblown.
HDSN faces headwinds from declining refrigerant prices, impacting topline and margins, but has liquidated much high-priced inventory, positioning it for better margins ahead. Despite weak Q4 2024 results, HDSN's stock showed resilience, indicating selling pressure might be exhausted; future topline remains uncertain, but margins could improve. Strong balance sheet with $70 million cash and no debt allows for potential share repurchases, enhancing shareholder returns during market recovery.
HDSN Q4 top line reflects the impacts of lower selling prices for certain refrigerants.
