Evercore ISI’s Mark Mahaney raised the bar on Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL | GOOGL Price Prediction) ahead of Wednesday night’s Q2 2026 earnings report, telling CNBC viewers that Search needs to hold 17%+ growth and Google Cloud needs to accelerate well past 70%. That is a demanding checklist for a company with a $4.29 trillion market cap, with the stock up 83.14% in the past year.
Google Search Must Repeat Its Strongest Growth in Years Mahaney’s first hurdle is holding the line on ad-driven search. “Search revenue last quarter positively surprised 17%, strongest growth in years. We need a repeat of that, probably at least this quarter, so 17% or greater,” he said.
That reference point comes from Alphabet’s Q1 2026 report, where Google Search & Other revenue reached $60.399 billion. CEO Sundar Pichai attributed the strength to “AI experiences driving usage, queries at an all time high.” Mahaney also flagged that a little bit of softness in advertising at the end of the March quarter did not come through in the June quarter, signaling a strong ad backdrop that reads through positively to Meta as well.
YouTube ads are expected to grow about 11% year over year, roughly in line with the $9.883 billion, 11% YoY result from Q1. This is steady growth, but it’s likely not going to be meaningful enough to drive the stock’s reaction after earnings.
Evercore Says Google Cloud Must Accelerate Beyond 70% Growth The higher hurdle is Google Cloud. Google Cloud posted $20.028 billion in Q1 with 63% growth. Mahaney is asking for further acceleration from a base that has already climbed sharply through 2025 and 2026. “That cloud segment last quarter shocked people with 63%. I think the bar this quarter has got to be north, well north of 70%,“ Mahaney said.
As a comparison, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is seeing the same challenge. Azure last posted 40% YoY growth, with Microsoft Cloud revenue of $49.10 billion. Mahaney effectively wants to see Google Cloud grow at nearly double the pace of the market leader.

Alphabet’s $185 Billion Spending Plan Raises the Stakes The cloud number matters because Alphabet’s spending plan has ballooned. “They sort of shocked people by saying that they’re going to spend $185, $195 billion this year. And they said on the March quarter call that in the following year, capex next year is going to grow significantly,“ Mahaney said.
Alphabet saw $35.674 billion in Q1 capex alone, more than doubling YoY. To justify it, investors want visibility. The cloud backlog stood at $400 billion last quarter. Mahaney thinks this can work for Alphabet stock as long as they show strong growth numbers: “The stock can still work in that environment, but you better have a very strong Google Cloud number, and you better have a very strong backlog number.”
Key Takeaways Evercore’s Mahaney will be looking for Alphabet to post Search growth of at least 17%, Google Cloud growth well above 70%, and another increase in cloud backlog.
Those numbers will help determine whether Alphabet’s massive AI spending is producing enough demand to justify the cost. If growth falls short of these high expectations, the stock could decline even after reporting strong results.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Evercore (EVR - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis investment bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.02 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +24.8%.
Revenues are expected to be $993.52 million, up 18.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.02% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Evercore?For Evercore, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Evercore will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Evercore would post earnings of $5.57 per share when it actually produced earnings of $7.53, delivering a surprise of +35.19%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Evercore doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. EVR has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 34.9% for the current fiscal year.
Three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.37 to $19.64 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.
Evercore ISI’s latest "beaten‑down beat and raisers" call fits squarely into a broader thesis they’ve been building: earnings strength is still powerful enough to flatten the "wall of worry” and extend the bull market, even if leadership rotates.
NVDA stock is moving. See the chart and price action here. Nvidia has lagged the hottest memory and AI infrastructure trades despite double‑digit year‑to‑date gains, while Alphabet has been penalized alongside other hyperscalers as investors balk at heavy AI capex and rising debt issuance.
Netflix is digesting the fallout from its failed Warner Bros Discovery pursuit, trading more than 40% below recent highs, and Booking has been hit by geopolitics that clipped travel demand and knocked the stock by over 20%.
The Bet is on Earnings, Not ChartsThe contrarian bet rests on the earnings backdrop more than the price charts. Consensus is looking for another quarter of more than 20% S&P 500 earnings growth, which would mark a second straight period of unusually strong profit expansion, led again by technology and energy.
FactSet and other trackers note that beat rates and magnitude of surprises remain above pre‑pandemic norms, even as investors worry that fewer companies will clear the bar this time.
Evercore has responded by lifting its S&P 500 2026 EPS estimate by more than 6% and reaffirming a 7,750 year‑end target, with upside scenarios tied to ongoing AI investment and resilient consumer demand.
Emanuel has been vocal that this earnings season could "quell a rising wall of worry," particularly if banks and other early reporters confirm that profitability is running ahead of cautious expectations.
The Nvidia‑Alphabet‑Netflix‑Booking basket is a direct expression of Evercore’s core view: in a market obsessed with AI bubbles, geopolitical risk and Fed policy, the next leg higher is still most likely to be driven by old‑fashioned earnings beats from unfashionable, fundamentally solid giants.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 17.2; value investors should take notice.
Two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.16 to $19.43 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.
Investors with an interest in Financial - Investment Bank stocks have likely encountered both Evercore (EVR) and Moelis (MC). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
Evercore (EVR - Free Report) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Evercore is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Evercore, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company's underlying business. And investors' appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsAs empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Earnings Estimate Revisions for EvercoreFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this investment bank is expected to earn $19.27 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Evercore. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.5%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of Evercore to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Momentum investors should take note of this Finance stock. EVR has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 0.1% over the past four weeks.
For fiscal 2026, three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.29 to $19.27 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.
Memory stocks rarely produce 84% gross margins. Commodity DRAM is the business school case study for cyclical pain, where pricing power goes to die. So when Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) posted non-GAAP gross margins of 84.9% for its fiscal third quarter, the number stopped being a memory number and became a question about what kind of company Micron has become.
Julian Emanuel, Evercore ISI’s chief equity and quantitative strategist, addressed that question on CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime on June 24, 2026. The earnings report was a bull-case beat, in his framing, which matters. Sell-side consensus is one thing. The hedge fund whisper number, already baked with AI optimism, is harder to clear. Micron cleared it convincingly, and the reaction across the semiconductor complex suggested the print reset expectations for the entire memory tape.
What the numbers actually said Adjusted EPS landed at $25.11 against a $20.78 consensus. Revenue hit $41.456 billion, beating the Street by 17.6% and growing 345.72% year over year, a comp profile that signals a business changing shape. GAAP gross margin expanded to 84.6% from 37.7% a year ago. That margin move is the whole story.
Q4 guidance followed. Management called for $50 billion in revenue, hugging the high end of buy-side modeling, with non-GAAP EPS of $31.00 ± $1.00 and ~86% gross margins. Capex of $7.1 billion versus the $7.3 billion estimate was the only soft data point, a mild underspend some analysts will read as supply discipline and others as a tell on capacity. The official press release sits on the SEC’s EDGAR system.
The market reaction matched the surprise. Micron closed +12.68% on earnings day, the strongest post-earnings move in eight quarters, against a stock already up 267.54% year to date through the prior close.
Why Emanuel called it durable CEO Sanjay Mehrotra anchored the durability argument himself, saying multi-year Strategic Customer Agreements “will significantly enhance the durability and predictability of Micron’s strong financial performance.”. The HBM4 stack going into the lead AI accelerator customer platform is now sold forward on contracts that look more like aerospace backlog than spot-market DRAM. That is why Emanuel argued the current cycle has, in his words, real earnings power behind it, unlike the late-1990s tech boom.
The lead customer is widely understood to be NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), whose Blackwell and Rubin platforms consume HBM in volumes that would have sounded absurd two years ago. Moreover, Jensen Huang has called this “the largest infrastructure expansion in human history.” NVIDIA’s own Q1 FY27 data center revenue of $75.25 billion backs the framing. Meanwhile, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has worked its way into the conversation with the MI450 series and a Meta partnership for up to 6 GW of Instinct GPUs, with shares up 142.69% year to date. The takeaway for portfolio managers: HBM supply is now a strategic asset, and Micron sits at the center of a customer list that includes both of the most-watched accelerator franchises in the market.
The hedge Emanuel actually wants you to consider Where the segment got more interesting was Emanuel’s portfolio construction point. Investor flows are tilting toward AI “recipients” like Micron over the hyperscalers “footing the bill.”. That is a polite way of saying the people writing the capex checks may not get the same return on capital as the suppliers selling them irreplaceable parts. The math is straightforward: when one input commands 84% gross margins and customers sign multi-year take-or-pay style agreements, the rent flows to the supplier.
To manage concentration risk in an AI-heavy book, Emanuel pointed to over 80 negative-beta stocks that have moved inversely to the S&P 500 yet kept pace over the past six months. He flagged two near-term volatility drivers worth keeping in mind, supply jitters and uncertainty around the Fed chair transition.
For now, the Micron earnings report validates the thesis that the AI capex wave is showing up in supplier income statements rather than just slide decks. Micron trades at a forward PE of 9, which is either a screaming bargain or a market quietly pricing in the next memory downcycle. Q4 guidance and how those Strategic Customer Agreements flow through next year’s revenue line will settle that argument. For now, Evercore’s framing is the one investors are anchoring to as they reposition into the second half.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evolve Royalties Ltd. (“Evolve” or the “Company”) (CSE: EVR; OTCQX: EVRYF) is pleased to announce that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). DTC eligibility follows the commencement of trading of Evolve’s common shares on the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”) under the symbol “EVRYF” and is intended to broaden the Company’s access to United States investors by simplifying the trading, clearing and settlement of its common shares.
DTC ELIGIBILITY
DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”), which manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded securities in the United States and provides post-trade clearing, settlement, custody and information services for the global financial markets. With DTC eligibility, Evolve’s common shares may be electronically cleared and settled by participating broker-dealers in the United States, which is expected to simplify the trading process and enhance liquidity by streamlining settlement and improving overall market accessibility for United States investors.
Evolve’s common shares continue to trade in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “EVR” and in the United States on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “EVRYF”. DTC eligibility does not affect the trading of Evolve’s common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Joseph de la Plante, President & CEO of Evolve, commented: "DTC eligibility is an important milestone in building Evolve’s presence in the United States capital markets. Following our listing on the OTCQX, it removes friction for United States investors who want to own our shares, making it easier and faster to clear and settle trades through their existing brokerage accounts. As we grow our portfolio of cash-flowing royalties, broadening and deepening our access to United States investors is a priority, and this is a meaningful step in that direction."

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evolve Royalties Ltd. (“Evolve” or the “Company”) (CSE: EVR; OTCQX: EVRYF) is pleased to announce that, further to its previously announced binding letter of intent, it has entered into a definitive royalty purchase agreement with MinQuest Ltd. (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Sunnyside Royalty”) on production from claims comprising the Sunnyside Project operated by Barksdale Resources Corp. (“Barksdale”) in Arizona, United States.
Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the total consideration to be paid by Evolve for the acquisition of the Sunnyside Royalty is $2.25 million, payable in two instalments comprising a mix of cash and shares, the first of which is a payment at closing of $0.5 million in cash and the issuance of 363,750 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.92 per share (the “Issue Price”), having an aggregate value of $0.75 million, and the second of which is a payment to be completed by January 2, 2027 of $0.5 million in cash and the issuance of 242,500 common shares of the Company at the Issue Price, having an aggregate value of $0.5 million.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the coming weeks.
“The Sunnyside Royalty fits squarely within our strategy of acquiring high-quality royalties on base metal assets in top-tier mining jurisdictions. We view this royalty as particularly attractive given its location in a district that is seeing meaningful development activity. As Barksdale continues to advance drilling, we believe this royalty provides a cost-effective way for Evolve to participate in potential exploration success and long-term copper upside,” said Joseph de la Plante, President & CEO of Evolve.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 19.4; value investors should take notice.
Three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.29 to $19.27 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Evercore (EVR - Free Report) Headquartered in New York, Evercore Inc. is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. Founded in 1995, the company operates from its offices and affiliates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
EVR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 17.77; value investors should take notice.
For fiscal 2026, three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.75 to $19.27 per share. EVR boasts an average earnings surprise of +30.2%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, EVR should be on investors' short list.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Key Takeaways Evercore posted record Q1'26 adjusted net revenues of $1.40B, driven by advisory business strength.EVR had about $0.7B remaining under its $1.6B share repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2026.Evercore raised its quarterly dividend to 89 cents and extended its streak to 18 straight years of increases. Evercore Inc.'s (EVR - Free Report) capital return strategy, centered on dividends and share repurchases, is supported by ample liquidity and disciplined capital management. The company's earnings strength continues to provide flexibility for rewarding shareholders while investing in future growth initiatives.
In the first quarter of 2026, EVR reported record adjusted net revenues of $1.40 billion, significantly higher than $699.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The performance was driven by strong momentum in its advisory business. Further, the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, a leading U.K.-based advisory firm, in February 2026 is expected to support revenue growth while enhancing its advisory platform in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. This provides EVR with ample financial flexibility to return capital to shareholders without weakening its financial position.
The company has a solid share repurchase plan in place. In April 2025, Evercore's board of directors authorized a $1.6 billion share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $0.7 billion remained available under the authorization.
Alongside buybacks, Evercore continues to deliver consistent dividend growth. In April 2026, the company increased its quarterly dividend 5.9% to 89 cents per share, marking its 18th consecutive year of dividend increases. Prior to this, it raised its quarterly dividend 5% to 84 cents per share in April 2025. The company currently has a payout ratio of 18% and a dividend yield of 1.03%.

Given its strong earnings performance, sound liquidity position and disciplined capital management strategy, Evercore is well-positioned to sustain capital distributions in the future, thereby continuing to enhance shareholder value.

After clearing the 2025 stress test, Bank of America raised its quarterly dividend 7.7% to 28 cents per share. Prior to this, the company increased its quarterly dividend 8.3% to 26 cents per share in July 2024.
Bank of America also authorized a $40 billion share repurchase program, effective Aug. 1, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, $22.9 billion remained available under the authorization.
Post-clearing the 2025 Fed stress test, Citigroup also hiked its quarterly dividend 7.1% to 60 cents per share. Prior to this, the company increased its quarterly dividend 7.1% to 56 cents per share in April 2025.
In January 2025, Citigroup's board of directors approved a $20 billion common stock repurchase program with no expiration date. As of March 31, 2026, $0.5 billion remained available under the authorization.
