Herc, Lucid, Ameresco, Stratasys, and Perma-Fix Shares Surge on Greenland Trade Relief - SPY +1.2%
Shares of Herc, Lucid, Ameresco, Stratasys, and Perma-Fix rose sharply in afternoon trading on January 22, 2026, following the U.S. president’s announcement of a framework for a future deal with Greenland, reversing earlier plans to impose tariffs. The move eased global trade tensions, lifting the S&P 500 by 1.2% as investors rotated into equities amid reduced geopolitical risk. Herc (HRI) jumped 11.8% on the day, though its stock remains 19.3% below its 52-week high of $211.06 set in January 2025. The company reported a net loss of $35 million in the latest quarter due to $73 million in acquisition-related costs and a $49 million asset impairment from its purchase of H&E Equipment Services. Revenue rose 18.2% to $1 billion, but full-year guidance fell 15% short of estimates, pushing net leverage to 3.8x. Despite volatility—40 moves over 5% in the past year—Herc is up 11.8% YTD. Other gainers included Lucid (LCID), Ameresco (AMRC), Stratasys (SSYS), and Perma-Fix (PFX), all reacting positively to improved macro sentiment.
