Cramer Passes On NioCorp And SoundHound — But Says One Stock Is 'Time To Buy'
NB NioCorp Developments
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Cramer recommended buying SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI). “We got back to $18 and I said, time to buy. It’s hanging around that level,” he added.

SoFi Technologies shares traded higher on Thursday as investors reacted to continued insider buying from CEO Anthony Noto, with the broader tape also leaning risk-on in tech.

Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:INOD) is a “data engineering company, and this market likes data engineering, so I’m gonna say it’s fine,” Cramer said. “It’s a little too speculative for me.”

Cramer said he is not recommending buying Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) as it is losing too much money.

Needham analyst Chris Pierce reiterated a Buy rating on Rivian Automotive on June 10 and maintained a $23 price target.

The Mad Money host said he can’t think of a reason to own Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ:TSCO).

Cramer recommended selling SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN), calling it a “meme stock.”

On the earnings front, SoundHound reported first-quarter revenue of $44.20 million on May 7, beating the consensus estimate of $42.56 million. The conversational AI company reported an adjusted loss of six cents per share for the quarter, missing estimates for a loss of four cents per share, according to Benzinga Pro.

Cramer said no to Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX).

Price Action:

SoFi shares gained 2.8% to settle at $17.91 on Thursday. Rivian Automotive shares gained 1.6% to close at $16.52. Tractor Supply shares rose 1.7% to close at $30.24 on Thursday. Innodata shares declined 6.9% to settle at $95.50. SoundHound shares gained 2.3% to close at $7.12 on Thursday. Boston Scientific shares gained 0.8% to settle at $45.29. Photo via Shutterstock

Retirees Should Look to This Ultra-Reliable 4.4% Yield to Outlast Market Volatility
SONP Sonoco Products
FMP Stock News
Original source text
When rate-cut timing is murky and equity volatility spikes, retirees need cash-generative anchors. Sonoco Products (NYSE:SON | SON Price Prediction) is one of the most boring, most dependable income stocks on the board. The South Carolina packaging maker just authorized its 43rd consecutive annual dividend increase and has paid dividends without interruption for more than 100 years. The question I am answering today: is the yield as bulletproof as the streak suggests?

Dividend Snapshot Metric Value Annual Dividend $2.12 (run-rate ~$2.16) Dividend Yield 4.19% Consecutive Years of Increases 43 years Most Recent Hike $0.53 to $0.54 (Q2 2026) Dividend Aristocrat Yes Payout Ratios Leave Plenty of Room FY2025 EPS came in at $5.71 against a $2.12 annual payout, which is a comfortable earnings payout ratio. On the cash side, Sonoco paid roughly $210M in dividends (98.87M shares x $2.12) against $392.7M of free cash flow.

Metric Value Assessment Earnings Payout 37% Healthy FCF Payout 53% Healthy OCF Coverage 3.3x Strong Q1 2026 FCF was -$428.3M, but that reflects ~$103M of one-time divestiture tax payments and seasonal working capital. Management still guides $700M to $800M in 2026 operating cash flow.

Leverage Is the One Number to Watch Metric Value Assessment Debt-to-Equity 2.1x Moderate Net Debt/EBITDA 3.0x Elevated Cash on Hand $224.5M Adequate Post-Eviosys leverage is the legitimate risk, but Sonoco already reduced net debt by approximately 40% year-over-year in FY2025 using ThermoSafe and TFP divestiture proceeds.

43 Years of Increases and Counting Year Annual Dividend 2026 (run-rate) ~$2.16 2025 ~$2.11 2024 ~$2.07 2023 ~$2.02 2022 ~$1.92 No dividend cuts in the 27-year dataset. Growth is slow but reliably positive, which is exactly what an income portfolio wants.

Management Calls Out the Streak CEO Howard Coker on the Q1 2026 call: “Our disciplined capital allocation strategy remains focused on reducing debt and returning capital to our shareholders… Despite current uncertainties, we remain confident in our portfolio, our strategy and our ability to execute through economic cycles.” The language is firm and confident.

The Verdict: Safe, With Eyes on Leverage Dividend Safety Rating: Safe. A 37% earnings payout, 53% FCF payout, 3.3x cash coverage, and a 43-year streak make this one of the more durable yields you can buy at 9x forward earnings. The dividend thesis strengthens if the Profitability Performance Plan delivers $150M to $200M in cost savings and leverage drifts below 2.5x. The risk profile worsens if a recession hits Industrial Paper Packaging before debt comes down further. On balance, this is the kind of boring 4%-plus yield income-focused retirees typically seek.

3 Consumer Loan Stocks Poised to Gain From Improving Industry Dynamics
ECPG Encore Capital Group
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Higher interest rates for a longer time and easing lending standards are brightening the outlook for the Zacks Consumer Loans industry. The Federal Reserve has paused rate cuts and signaled a hike amid signs of higher inflation. Yet, decent economic growth is expected to continue and even boost loan demand, supporting top-line growth.

While looser lending criteria and increased usage of technology are expanding the borrower base, subdued consumer confidence is a headwind. Nonetheless, industry players like Credit Acceptance Corporation (CACC - Free Report) , Enova International, Inc. (ENVA - Free Report) and Encore Capital Group, Inc. (ECPG - Free Report) are worth considering.

About the Industry The Zacks Consumer Loans industry comprises companies that provide mortgages, refinancing, home equity lines of credit, credit card loans, automobile loans, education/student loans and personal loans, among others. These help the industry players generate net interest income (NII), which forms the most important part of total revenues. The prospects of the companies in this industry are highly sensitive to the nation’s overall economic condition and consumer sentiments. In addition to offering the above-mentioned products and services, many consumer loan providers are involved in businesses like commercial lending, insurance, loan servicing and asset recovery. These support the companies in generating fee revenues. Furthermore, this helps the firms diversify revenue sources and be less dependent on the vagaries of the economy.

3 Themes Driving the Consumer Loan Industry's Future Interest Rates & Loan Demand: After lowering interest rates by 175 basis points since 2024, the Federal Reserve has paused its easing cycle and adopted a more hawkish stance. This shift reflects inflation remaining well above the central bank’s 2% target, exacerbated by the recent oil price shock stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Additionally, consumer sentiment has remained weak since late 2025, with the Expectations Index staying below 80 for 16 consecutive months through May, a threshold that has historically signaled an elevated risk of recession. Despite these headwinds, demand for consumer loans is expected to remain resilient and gradually improve, supported by solid economic growth and a still-low unemployment rate. Consequently, industry participants are likely to benefit from continued expansion in net interest margins (NIM) and NII in the coming quarters.

Automation to Improve Operating Efficiency: Consumer loan providers are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotic process automation and digital platforms to streamline loan origination, underwriting, servicing and customer onboarding. AI-driven credit assessment models analyze vast amounts of customer data in real time, enabling faster and more accurate lending decisions while reducing manual intervention, while digital onboarding tools lower acquisition costs and enhance customer experience. Meanwhile, AI-powered servicing and collections platforms improve operational efficiency and risk monitoring. These initiatives are expected to reduce processing expenses, support scalable growth and ultimately boost profitability through higher operating leverage and stronger returns.

Asset Quality: While lower interest rates have helped borrowers stay current on loan and interest repayments, persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds have kept inflation elevated. This has prompted the central bank to signal a potential rate hike later this year, which could somewhat weaken borrowers’ repayment capacity. As a result, consumer loan providers are likely to set aside substantial reserves for potential delinquencies. Moreover, several credit quality metrics are already trending above pre-pandemic levels.

Zacks Industry Rank Reflects an Optimistic Stance The Zacks Consumer Loans industry is a 12-stock group within the broader Zacks Finance sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #30, which places it in the top 12% of more than 245 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates outperformance in the near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are confident in this group’s earnings growth potential. Over the past year, the industry’s earnings estimates for 2026 and 2027 have been revised upward by 2.9% and 9.6%, respectively.

Before we present a few stocks that you may want to add to your portfolio, let's take a look at the industry’s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.

Industry vs. Broader Market The Zacks Consumer Loans industry has impressively outperformed the Zacks S&P 500 composite and its sector over the past two years.

The stocks in this industry have collectively soared 67.6% over this period, while the Zacks S&P 500 composite and the Zacks Finance sector have risen 42.4% and 37.2%, respectively.

Two-Year Price Performance

 

Industry Valuation One might get a good sense of the industry’s relative valuation by looking at its price-to-book ratio (P/B), commonly used for valuing consumer loan stocks because of significant variations in their financial performance from one quarter to the next.

The industry currently has a trailing 12-month P/B of 0.74X, below the median level of 0.76X over the past five years. This compares with the highest level of 1.04X and the lowest level of 0.55X over this period. The industry is trading at a considerable discount compared with the market at large, as the trailing 12-month P/B for the S&P 500 is 8.11X and the median level is 8.01X.

Price-to-Book Ratio (TTM)

As finance stocks typically have a lower P/B, comparing consumer loan providers with the S&P 500 may not make sense to many investors. However, comparing the group’s P/B ratio with that of its broader sector ensures that the group is trading at a decent discount. The Zacks Finance sector’s trailing 12-month P/B of 4.53X for the same period is way above the Zacks Consumer Loan industry’s ratio, as the chart below shows.

Price-to-Book Ratio (TTM)

 

3 Consumer Loan Stocks to Bet on Credit Acceptance Corporation: Headquartered in Southfield, MI, CACC offers financing programs and related products and services to automobile dealers across the United States, enabling them to sell vehicles to consumers irrespective of their credit history. Further, it is engaged in the business of reinsuring coverage under vehicle service contracts sold to consumers by dealers on vehicles financed by the company.

Revenue growth remains a major positive for Credit Acceptance, with the same witnessing a five-year (2020-2025) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Growth is primarily attributable to a steady rise in finance charges, which is also the main revenue component (accounting for almost 93% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2026). While finance charges are likely to witness headwinds from macroeconomic factors in the near term, solid dealer engagement will offer much-needed support. A steady rise in dealer enrolments and active dealers is expected to support the company’s top-line growth.

CACC continues to execute on a product roadmap aimed at reducing friction for dealers and scaling underwriting and servicing capacity without a proportional increase in expenses. The company is witnessing a steady rise in inbound customer service and account solutions calls routed to the AI-enabled agent, with plans to expand its usage going forward. Additionally, dealer-facing digitization is gaining traction. Over time, these are expected to support higher dealer engagement and improve operating efficiency.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings for 2026 and 2027 suggests growth of 20.1% and 13.7%, respectively. Shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have jumped 25.8% over the past six months. It has a market cap of $6.1 billion. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Price and Consensus: CACC

Enova International: Based in Chicago, IL, Enova is a leading financial technology company focused on providing online financial services. The company caters to small businesses and capitalizes on its proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to underwrite and fund loans.

Being an early entrant into online lending, the company has completed almost 65 million customer transactions and collected approximately 66 terabytes of consumer behavior data since its launch in 2004. This has enabled Enova to better analyze its specific customer base and expand small and medium businesses (SMB) lending. This Zacks Rank #2 company’s proprietary underwriting systems leverage advanced risk analytics, including ML and AI.

Moreover, the company has been diversifying its operations, which will support its long-term growth. In December 2025, Enova agreed to acquire Grasshopper Bancorp, which will boost its earnings over time. This will also expand the company’s ability to deliver a more comprehensive suite of financial products through a national bank charter, expanding access to credit to those who were traditionally underserved by banks.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings for 2026 and 2027 indicates an increase of 26.8% and 23.7%, respectively. ENVA’s shares have gained 24.1% over the past six months. It has a market cap of $5 billion.

Price and Consensus: ENVA

Encore Capital: Based in San Diego, CA, ECPG provides debt recovery and related financial services worldwide. Through its global subsidiaries, the company acquires portfolios of charged-off consumer receivables from leading banks, credit unions and utility providers, leveraging data-driven strategies to optimize collections and portfolio performance.

Encore Capital plans to leverage its leadership position in portfolio purchasing and recovery as well as credit management services to bolster its market share worldwide. Over the years, the company’s portfolio purchases and collections have increased, which supported its top-line expansion.

With rising delinquency/charge-off rates in the United States due to higher rates, there is more supply of non-performing loans. This offers Encore Capital an additional opportunity to purchase portfolios and apply its analytics and collections capabilities for higher returns. With scale, funding access and demonstrated execution, the company is expected to continue capturing high-return supply, extending collections growth beyond tax seasonality into subsequent quarters.

The company’s operating engine is delivering consistent overperformance that is now beginning to embed into forward estimates. Encore Capital is witnessing steadily higher collections than the forecasts, as technology, digital and operational innovations lift early-stage collections. Over the next few quarters, management expects the mix to transition from cash overs to higher portfolio revenue as ERC curves adjust upward.

Shares of this Zacks Rank #1 company has soared 52.4% over the past six months. ECPG’s earnings are expected to rise 19.3% in 2026 and 6.5% in 2027. The company has a market cap of $1.8 billion.

Price and Consensus: ECPG

BrainChip Unveils Communication Reference Platform, Fueling Signal Intelligence at the Edge
DSP Viant Technology
FMP Stock News
Original source text
BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, BCHPY), the first commercial producer of neuromorphic artificial intelligence technology, today announced the Akida Communication Reference Platform, a physical development platform for RF signal classification using BrainChip’s Akida AKD1500 neuromorphic processor.

The platform is a critical tool for defense contractors and government agencies who need real-time, on-device signal intelligence at the edge but are constrained by power budgets, thermal limits and SWaP-C requirements that GPU- and FPGA-based solutions cannot meet.

The Akida Communications Reference Platform is designed to fuel the exploding demand for on-device signal intelligence worldwide and is a key component of extending BrainChip's core ‘Always-On AI at the Edge’ strategy to RF at the edge.

Akida Communications detects RF threats for operators at the edge

The platform provides fully on-device processing for personnel operating in environments where they cannot rely on wired power, large and/or heavy form-factors and cloud server connections for signal classification.

Powered by BrainChip’s Akida AKD1500 chip, the platform delivers sub-watt continuous inference versus multi-watt power consumed by competitive FPGA or GPU-based edge AI modules.

Rule-based digital signal processing (DSP) systems are challenged to adapt to novel or adversarial modulated signals. The Akida model classifies more than 20 modulation types in real time while consuming sub-watt inference power, with an accuracy of greater than 85% accuracy at a signal-to-noise ratio of 30 decibels. As new wireless emitter threats emerge, the platform can capture data of unrecognized waveforms to retrain the model to recognize them, extending the operational utility of the platform to adapt in the field.

This closes a gap left by DSP classifier algorithms that are difficult to adapt, power-hungry and too large for deployment in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), handheld SIGINT devices or satellite terminals.

The platform is ideal to prototype SIGINT applications

Available for evaluation and partner integration, the platform can be used as a hardware reference design kit intended for defense contractors, government agencies, SDR vendors and edge AI system integrators who want to evaluate or prototype neuromorphic AI-based RF signal classification. The platform, which provides real-time threat detection in battery-powered devices, integrates with software-defined radio (SDR) front ends, such as the USRP B205mini or the EPIQ Sidekiq using a host system such as the Raspberry Pi 5 computer. Engineering and product teams can use it to develop custom intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance functions and SIGINT applications.

“BrainChip's Akida Communication Reference Platform proves that real-time signal intelligence can be condensed into a portable battery powered solution to extend the range of deployment options,” said Sean Hehir, BrainChip’s CEO. “This extends BrainChip's reference platform strategy (alongside radar and other sensor-fusion platforms) to demonstrate that Akida is a broadly applicable edge AI processing engine for many use cases.”

About BrainChip Holdings Ltd.

BrainChip Holdings Ltd. is the worldwide leader in edge AI on-chip processing and learning. The company’s first-to-market, fully digital, event-based AI processor, Akida™, uses neuromorphic principles to mimic the human brain, analyzing only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition and processing data with unmatched efficiency, precision and energy economy.

CoreWeave Just Added $32 Billion to Its AI Backlog Ahead of Joining the Nasdaq-100. Is CRWV a Buy at $117?
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News
Original source text

At $117.03, CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) looks fully valued near current levels, with a more attractive risk/reward setup on any macro-induced pullback to $105 or below. The stock has ripped 18.87% in the past week as traders front-run Nasdaq-100 inclusion on June 22, 2026, making this an awkward spot to chase but a dangerous one to short.

CoreWeave operates a purpose-built AI cloud platform renting GPU compute to model developers, hyperscalers, and enterprise customers. The company surpassed 1 GW of active power in Q1 and positioned itself as the preferred infrastructure layer for inference workloads, with CEO Michael Intrator saying CoreWeave sits “between the models and the silicon.”.

The stock IPO’d at $40 in March 2025, ran to $187, and now trades near its 50-day moving average of $108.98 as the market digests a backlog explosion alongside escalating losses.

The Bull Case: Backlog Math CoreWeave booked $99.4 billion of revenue backlog, including a $21 billion Meta commitment and $6 billion from Jane Street. Management signed more than $40 billion of new commitments in Q1 alone and now counts ten customers committed to spending at least $1 billion. Guidance for 2026 sits at $12 billion to $13 billion in revenue with an exit run rate of $18 billion to $19 billion, and management flagged a 2027 run rate above $30 billion, of which more than 75% is already contracted. NVIDIA’s $2 billion equity investment validates the moat. Cantor Fitzgerald carries a $167 target, and the June 22 Nasdaq-100 inclusion mechanically forces passive funds to buy.

The Bear Case: Debt Load Total liabilities hit $50.81 billion, quarterly interest expense doubled to $536 million, and Q2 interest expense is guided to $650 million to $730 million. Q1 free cash flow was negative $4.71 billion on $7.7 billion of CapEx, with full-year 2026 CapEx guided to $31 billion to $35 billion.

Net loss widened to $740 million from $315 million a year earlier, and EPS of -$1.40 missed consensus by 16.26%. Insiders unloaded over $100 million in May and June, with CEO Intrator selling up to $37.65 million in shares. A securities fraud class action alleging concealed data center construction delays still hangs over the name.

Valuation at $117 At 8.81x trailing sales and 11.53x book, the stock prices in flawless backlog conversion. The Nasdaq-100 catalyst is real, yet much appears in the 18.87% one-week rally. Buying after that move and ahead of inclusion day risks a classic “sell the news” reversal.

A pullback toward the 200-day moving average of $100.09 or the $105 buy zone would offer cleaner risk/reward into Q2 results. Leaked bond memoranda reportedly show 90% of 2027 ARR is already secured, which would validate the bull math, but the stock needs to digest its move first.

Analyst Consensus Shares trade at $117.03 against a consensus analyst target of $140.18, implying 19.78% upside. Of the 35 analysts covering the stock:

Strong Buy: 3 Buy: 19 Hold: 11 Sell: 1 Strong Sell: 1 CRWV is up 63.43% year to date against the broader S&P 500, yet still sits 26.16% below where it traded a year ago. Q1 revenue of $2.08 billion grew 111.69% year over year and beat consensus by 5.80%.

Where Things Stand at $117 The Nasdaq-100 inclusion bid is largely priced in after a near 19% weekly surge. Chasing a known-date catalyst punishes latecomers when passive funds finish rebalancing. The fundamental setup is constructive, with a $99.4 billion backlog and 2027 run rate guidance above $30 billion, but entry matters when the company burns $4.71 billion of free cash flow per quarter.

A constructive re-rating signal would be a macro-driven pullback to the $105 zone, aligning with the 200-day moving average and improving risk/reward. A bearish signal would be a Q2 print showing margin recovery stalling or interest expense outrunning the $650 to $730 million guide, either calling the backlog conversion thesis into question.

Watch contracted power conversion, adjusted operating margin (guided to low double digits by Q4), and customer diversification beyond hyperscalers. At $105, the same backlog would be available roughly 10% cheaper with a defined invalidation level, offering a cleaner setup for risk-conscious entries.

Key Takeaways CRWV trained the DeepSeek-V3 671B model in 2.02 minutes using 8,192 NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 GPUs.CRWV showed strong AI training performance across 4,096-GPU and 64-GPU deployments.CRWV said its benchmark runs used the same infrastructure available to customers today. The race to dominate the AI infrastructure market has become increasingly competitive, with cloud providers investing heavily in GPU clusters, networking and software optimization. In this environment, performance benchmarks are the most important. CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV - Free Report) recently demonstrated the strength of its AI-native cloud platform in the MLPerf Training v6.0 benchmark, completing the training of the DeepSeek-V3 671B model in just 2.02 minutes using 8,192 NVIDIA (NVDA) GB300 NVL72 GPUs. This showcased the effectiveness of CoreWeave's AI native cloud architecture. It serves as a powerful validation of the company's AI cloud platform, poised to accelerate customer adoption while strengthening its competitive position.

CoreWeave’s MLPerf achievements underscore the effectiveness of its Mission Control platform in delivering consistent, large-scale AI training performance. It also highlights strong performance across both large and small GPU deployments. A 4,096-GPU GB300 cluster delivered near-top-tier results with fewer GPUs, while a 64-GPU HGX B200 system efficiently trained smaller models. The results demonstrate that CRWV’s software optimizations enhance AI training performance across a wide range of deployment sizes, benefiting enterprises that operate clusters with dozens, hundreds, or thousands of GPUs.

One criticism frequently directed at benchmark results is that vendors often build specialized systems solely for competition. CoreWeave directly addressed this concern. According to the company, the MLPerf submissions were executed using the same infrastructure customers currently access, including mission control, networking fabric, storage architecture, cluster scheduler and orchestration platform. If accurate, this distinction enhances the practical significance of the benchmark, as customers can reasonably expect similar operational characteristics in production environments.

If CoreWeave can continue translating engineering innovation into measurable customer outcomes, these benchmark achievements are likely to solidify its position as one of the leading providers of AI cloud infrastructure in the next generation of large-scale AI development.

Can Competitors Match CRWV’s Scale & Performance?Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS - Free Report) has emerged as an ambitious player seeking to establish itself as a leading AI cloud provider. It plans to invest £1.7 billion in U.K. AI infrastructure, adding three advanced NVIDIA-powered deployments to support growing AI demand. Last month, Nebius selected Bloom Energy’s fuel cell technology to support its growing AI cloud platform. The partnership’s first 328-MW project, expected this year, will provide fast, clean power while replacing planned gas turbines and accelerating AI infrastructure deployment. In March, NVDA invested $2 billion in NBIS to develop the next generation of hyperscale AI cloud infrastructure jointly. Nebius plans to deploy more than 5 GW of AI computing capacity by 2030.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN - Free Report) diversification across multiple high-growth business segments creates a resilient revenue model that reduces concentration risk while maximizing growth opportunities. Beyond e-commerce, it generates substantial profits from AWS, where first-quarter sales increased 28% year over year to $37.6 billion and operating income rose to $14.2 billion from $11.5 billion. The advertising business continues rapid expansion as brands allocate more marketing budgets to Amazon's platform, leveraging its valuable consumer data and purchase intent signals, with advertising services revenue up 24% to $17.2 billion and advertising growing to more than $70 billion in trailing-12-month revenue.

Jim Cramer: CoreWeave's Backlog ‘May Be Much Greater' Than Wall Street Thinks
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Jim Cramer used his June 16 Mad Money Mad Dash segment to make the case that CoreWeave’s contracted revenue pipeline could be even larger than what the Street currently models.

“It’s got the best handle in the buildout. And this morning, [a research note] comes up with a piece looking at the debt documents showing that the backlog may be much greater when they report,” Cramer said of the AI cloud operator.

He paired that observation with a vivid pitch for the company’s execution: “If you want to put a rocket into space with a data center… you might at least peruse CoreWeave’s work, because that’s the one that knows how to build them fast.”

The bigger-backlog thesis comes from a third-party research note reviewing CoreWeave’s debt documents, not from the company itself, so investors should treat the upside as a possibility rather than confirmed guidance.

Why Cramer’s Backlog Claim Matters CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) already disclosed a striking number on its Q1 2026 earnings release: a $99.40 billion revenue backlog as of March 31, 2026, anchored by a $21 billion commitment from Meta signed in March. CEO Michael Intrator called it “the strongest bookings quarter in CoreWeave’s history.”

The trajectory is what gives Cramer’s call its punch. Backlog moved from $30.1 billion in Q2 2025 to $55.6 billion in Q3 2025, then $66.8 billion in Q4 2025, before reaching nearly $100 billion last quarter. OpenAI alone accounts for roughly $22.4 billion in total commitments, and NVIDIA added a $2 billion Class A stock investment alongside a $8.5 billion non-recourse delayed draw term loan facility.

If the research note Cramer flagged is right and the debt documents imply additional contracted demand, the next reported backlog figure could move materially higher. The next earnings report is currently estimated for around August 13, 2026, though it has not yet been company-confirmed.

The Build-Fast Argument Cramer’s “rocket into space” framing aligns with CoreWeave’s operating metrics. The company surpassed 1 GW of active power in Q1 2026, holds over 3.5 GW of contracted power, and is targeting more than 8 GW by 2030. Intrator described the positioning succinctly: “We sit between the models and the silicon, delivering the infrastructure, software, and expertise required to build and run AI at scale.” CoreWeave was also named NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud for inference on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72.

Revenue is keeping up. Q1 2026 sales hit $2.078 billion, up 112% year over year, beating consensus by 6%. Full-year 2025 revenue came in at $5.131 billion, up 168%, making CoreWeave the fastest cloud in history to reach $5 billion in annual revenue.

The Risk Wall’s Other Side The same Q1 print showed why pre-earnings enthusiasm carries risk. CoreWeave posted a $740 million net loss, EPS missed at -$1.40 versus a -$1.20 estimate, interest expense doubled to $536 million, and CapEx ballooned to $7.695 billion in a single quarter. Total liabilities now stand at $50.814 billion. A securities fraud class action alleging concealed data center construction delays also remains in the background.

Shares trade at $114.52 as of midday June 16, with the stock up 49% year to date but still down 28% over the past year. Market cap sits near $51.52 billion. The Wall Street consensus price target is $140.18, with 19 Buy and 3 Strong Buy ratings against 11 Holds and 2 Sell-equivalents.

What Investors Should Watch The next backlog disclosure is the gating event for Cramer’s thesis. If management confirms the larger pipeline implied in the debt-document review, the conversation shifts to execution speed and financing capacity. If the figure underwhelms, the widening loss profile and capital intensity become the headline. For now, CoreWeave’s role as the specialized GPU cloud that builds first, ships first, and sells out fastest remains the bull case. The math on debt service and dilution remains the bear case. The August update will tell investors which side is closer to right.

Beyond the Trillion-Dollar Club: 3 High-Growth Tech Stocks to Buy Right Now
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The $1 trillion market cap club is growing increasingly crowded. Several companies, particularly in industries affected by artificial intelligence (AI) spending, have recently joined this fairly exclusive club. Up until this year, there were usually no more than 10 $1 trillion stocks. Now, about 20 stocks are above that mark or within striking distance.

While there are still several smart buys in the trillion-dollar club, their upside is fairly limited compared to some smaller companies that can grow at a quicker pace. If you're looking for a few smaller companies that have greater upside, take a look at these three to see the massive upside they have.

Image source: Getty Images.

Sandisk Sandisk (SNDK 1.42%) has been an incredible investment in 2026. Its stock has risen nearly 800% so far this year, which makes most investors think that they've missed out on life-changing returns. While it's unlikely that Sandisk will deliver another 800% gain from here, I still think it can be a viable investment.

Sandisk makes NAND memory that's utilized in solid-state drives (SSDs). SSDs are utilized for long-term data storage in data centers, and there's a huge shortage of them, leading to rising prices. Sandisk is thriving from rising commodity prices, leading to soaring revenue and profit growth. It operates on an unusual fiscal year calendar; its fiscal year ends in June 2026. So, utilizing 2026 earnings estimates doesn't do Sandisk justice. Instead, I'll use fiscal year 2027 estimates to value the stock.

SNDK PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts. PE Ratio = price-to-earnings ratio.

Sandisk trades at about 30 times current-year earnings, but only 11.5 times fiscal 2027 estimates. If earnings nearly triple as expected and the stock maintains its current multiple, shares could triple from here. That's huge upside in a short time frame, and as long as there is massive data center demand, Sandisk will continue to thrive.

Nebius Nebius (NBIS 5.29%) looks like a bit worse of an investment than Sandisk this year, but what stock wouldn't? Nebius is up a similarly impressive 210% so far in 2026, but its growth potential is far higher than Sandisk's. While Wall Street estimates that Sandisk will grow its revenue 336% in the fourth quarter and 122% in fiscal year 2027, Nebius is growing way faster.

In Q1, its revenue rose 684% year over year, and for 2026 and 2027, Wall Street analysts expect growth of 550% and 225%, respectively. Nebius's rapid growth is derived from its business focus: AI data centers. Nebius is a neocloud company that is focusing on AI workloads, and demand for its computing resources has proven insatiable. If Nebius can grow as quickly as Wall Street believes, then it's a no-brainer buy today.

CoreWeave CoreWeave (CRWV 3.80%) is in the same business as Nebius, although it's approaching it from a slightly different viewpoint. Of the three, it's the "worst" performing this year, rising about 50% so far. Still, that's a solid return in just under six months' time, and with CoreWeave rapidly expanding its footprint to meet massive demand from AI hyperscalers like Meta Platforms (META +0.04%), it has plenty of growth in store.

It has a massive revenue backlog, reaching nearly $100 billion in Q1. More than a third of that is expected to be realized over the next 24 months, leading to huge revenue growth, as it generated only $2.1 billion in revenue during Q1. Wall Street is similarly bullish on CoreWeave and expects it to grow revenue at a 147% pace in 2026 and 97% in 2027.

That's huge growth coming in the next few years and could lead to further upside soon.

While Sandisk, Nebius, and CoreWeave aren't $1 trillion stocks right now, they could see significant further growth over the next few years. The trillion-dollar invitation can wait.

CoreWeave: Breaking Down Why The Only Platinum Neocloud Won't Stay Discounted For Long
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News
Original source text
CoreWeave is rated Buy, leveraging premium GPU-as-a-service contracts with hyperscalers and AI labs, underpinned by a $99.4B revenue backlog. CRWV's ability to charge premium rates stems from superior deployment speed, network stability, and customer support, earning it 'Platinum' provider status. Debt structure is improving: DDTL cost of carry has dropped from 15% to 5.9%, and new unsecured notes at ~8.9% may reduce net interest expense.

CoreWeave is Joining the Nasdaq-100. Is the Stock a Buy?
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News
Original source text
CoreWeave (CRWV 3.80%) is playing a key role in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, and that's helped the stock soar 194% from its initial public offering a little over a year ago. This tech company offers something crucial: access to high-powered compute. Customers have flocked to CoreWeave for this, sending revenue to triple-digit gains.

And now, CoreWeave is scoring yet another victory. As of June 22, the AI stock joins the Nasdaq-100. Is now, as the company reaches this milestone, a good moment to buy CoreWeave? Let's find out.

Image source: Getty Images.

CoreWeave and Nvidia So, first, let's talk a bit about CoreWeave. The company offers access to compute, but not just any AI chips -- it's developed a close relationship with AI chip leader Nvidia and has established a massive fleet of the company's top graphics processing units (GPUs). In fact, CoreWeave was the first to make Nvidia's Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra systems generally available and expects to be among the first to deploy the upcoming Vera Rubin platform, too.

And this relationship isn't one-sided. Nvidia has shown its confidence in CoreWeave by investing in the company -- it currently owns more than 47 million shares, making CoreWeave the second-biggest position in its investment portfolio. And Nvidia has agreed to purchase any excess compute CoreWeave is unable to sell through 2032. All of this suggests that Nvidia is optimistic about CoreWeave's prospects. Considering Nvidia's dominance in and understanding of the AI market, a vote of confidence from the company is a very good sign.

CoreWeave, as a cloud provider, faces competition from market giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and others. But the company stands out because it focuses specifically on AI workloads, while those tech powerhouses offer a broader platform. This specialization in AI could offer CoreWeave a certain advantage.

Deals with Meta and Anthropic As mentioned, CoreWeave is delivering impressive earnings growth. The company has reached a key milestone, with contracted order backlog reaching almost $100 billion. CoreWeave also has added new orders from Meta Platforms and signed on Anthropic as a customer for the first time -- Anthropic aims to access GPUs for the development and use of AI model Claude. CoreWeave also is seeing an increase in customer diversification with 10 customers that aim to spend at least $1 billion with the company.

Now, let's consider the CoreWeave addition to the Nasdaq-100. The company has been selected to join this index of the biggest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq. This movement, set to happen prior to the market open on June 22, should offer the stock a boost in the near term -- this is as funds that track the Nasdaq-100 buy the shares so that they can continue correctly replicating the index's performance.

Does this make CoreWeave stock a buy? If you already own CoreWeave stock, you'll clearly be happy to see any positive momentum sparked by this entrance into the Nasdaq-100. But I wouldn't specifically buy the stock just to get in on this near-term boost. That's because, over the long-term, it won't impact your returns by very much.

What type of investor may consider CoreWeave? So I wouldn't buy CoreWeave specifically for this reason right at this moment. But I would consider buying the stock for the company's growth so far and the likelihood that this momentum may continue. It's important to note that CoreWeave probably isn't the best choice for a cautious investor -- the company is highly leveraged, relying heavily on debt to grow. Though this is necessary right now, it still represents risk.

That said, CoreWeave today makes an interesting investment for the more aggressive investor who doesn't mind this risk. The company has a strong relationship with chip giant Nvidia, and Nvidia is on track to roll out Rubin, its latest GPU update, in the second half of this year -- this could translate into growth for CoreWeave. I also like the fact that the contracted backlog has reached a significantly high level and that CoreWeave's investments are to support this concrete demand.

All of that could make CoreWeave, this new Nasdaq-100 stock, a compelling buy.

CoreWeave Sinks 5%, Nebius Dips as AI Cloud Stocks Sell the News on Their NASDAQ 100 Debut
CRWV CoreWeave

Original source text

Shares of CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) are sliding midday Monday, with CoreWeave stock down 5% to $112 as the AI cloud infrastructure provider makes its official NASDAQ 100 debut. The move turns what is usually a bullish catalyst into a textbook sell-the-news reaction.

CoreWeave stock isn’t moving alone. Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) stock is dipping 1% to $283.50, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) stock is also lower after joining the same index.

All three names rallied hard into today’s NASDAQ 100 inclusion. The unwind on debut day reflects profit-taking after vertical moves, plus a broader risk-off tape that’s pressuring AI infrastructure exposure across the board.

Sell-the-News on a Known Catalyst Index inclusion typically forces passive buying from funds tracking the benchmark, which usually supports the stock. Yet, CoreWeave, Nebius, and Rocket Lab stock are all falling today, a classic pattern when traders sell into a well-telegraphed event after a big run-up.

The runs were enormous. CoreWeave stock was up 65% year to date (YTD) through last Thursday, while Nebius stock soared 243% YTD. Rocket Lab stock, meanwhile, had climbed 54% YTD.

CoreWeave’s fundamentals back the momentum but also justify caution. The company posted solid recent quarterly results with a large revenue backlog, but still reported a sizable net loss. Analysts carry a price target of $140.18 on CRWV stock.

Risk-Off Tape Amplifies the Move The selling isn’t isolated to the debut names. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock is down 5% intraday, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is off 4% as AI capital-expenditure jitters and geopolitical headlines drive a broad rotation out of growth.

The VIX is sitting at 16.78, in normal territory, but the daily uptick of 2% signals a cautious market, not a complacent one. That’s a tough backdrop for richly valued momentum names trying to digest forced index buying.

CoreWeave stock trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 10x with deeply negative margins, while Rocket Lab stock carries a price-to-sales ratio of 99x and a beta of 2.5. When sentiment turns, these are often the first stocks to feel the pressure.

Reddit Was Already Euphoric Retail enthusiasm was peaking right into the debut. Reddit sentiment for Nebius hit 95 (very bullish) on Friday morning, driven by a viral r/WallStreetBets post that gathered 1,616 upvotes claiming Nebius had made the author “a millionaire” in two years.

Rocket Lab sentiment ran bullish too, scoring 72 as of early Monday. Peaks in retail euphoria into known catalysts often coincide with the kind of distribution playing out on the tape this afternoon.

What to Watch Investors can watch for whether CoreWeave stock and Nebius shares stabilize into the close, when passive index funds typically finish rebalancing. A late-day bounce can signal absorption; continued weakness may suggest that the unwind has further to run.

Any commentary from CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator or Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh, plus fresh analyst notes on the debut cohort, can shape the next share-price move. Until then, the AI cloud trade looks like one investors are sizing carefully rather than chasing.

Key Takeaways CRWV is expanding AI infrastructure rapidly, with a nearly $100 billion backlog and a 5 GW capacity goal.NBIS is scaling globally, targeting 4 GW capacity by 2026 amid strong AI cloud demand.CoreWeave faces high spending and debt, while analysts raised earnings estimates for its rival. As enterprises race to build and deploy increasingly sophisticated AI models, demand for specialized cloud infrastructure, GPU clusters and high-performance data centers continues to surge. While established cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft and Google dominate the market, newer AI-native infrastructure companies are also emerging as compelling investment opportunities. Among them, CoreWeave (CRWV - Free Report) and Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS - Free Report) are emerging AI infrastructure and cloud-computing companies focused on providing high-performance GPU capacity for AI model training and inference.

Investors frequently compare them to high-growth plays that benefit from surging demand for AI compute resources. Per a report from Fortune Business Insights, the global AI infrastructure market size is projected to go from $75.4 billion in 2026 to $497.98 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 26.6%. Both companies stand to benefit from long-term trends shaping the AI economy, including rising AI adoption, growing demand for GPUs, expanding inference workloads, investments in foundation models and the increasing need for sovereign AI infrastructure.

However, they differ substantially in their business models, customer bases, growth strategies and risk profiles. For investors seeking exposure to the AI infrastructure boom, the question is straightforward: Which stock offers the greater upside?

Let’s uncover.

The Case for CRWV StockCoreWeave has quickly become one of the fastest-growing cloud infrastructure providers focused exclusively on AI workloads. A major competitive advantage is its close relationship with NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) . In June, it became the first AI cloud provider to complete the bring-up and full system-level validation of NVDA Vera Rubin NVL72, a next-generation AI platform, positioning CRWV at the forefront of next-generation AI infrastructure and strengthening its competitive advantage in the rapidly expanding AI cloud market. In January, NVIDIA increased its investment in CoreWeave to $2 billion. CRWV aims to reach 5 GW of data center capacity by 2030, strengthening its ability to offer customers access to the latest NVIDIA hardware without requiring major infrastructure investments.

CoreWeave is experiencing rapidly increasing demand for inference-ready compute across GPU generations, which management believes will support long-term margin and earnings growth. Additionally, its storage business is growing quickly, while software, CPU and networking offerings are each expected to surpass $100 million in ARR by 2026. AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, expanding its target market, customer base and platform opportunities. Demand continues to strengthen as existing clients expand and new enterprise verticals adopt AI more broadly. It has expanded its platform to support training, inference and agentic AI workloads, positioning it for sustained, margin-enhancing growth.

CoreWeave has also scaled rapidly, surpassing 3.5 GW of contracted power capacity, with most expected online by 2027, and has secured more than $20 billion in debt and equity financing this year. As AI workloads move from training to inference and enterprise deployment, hyperscalers and foundation model developers are deepening their commitments, while more enterprises are adopting the platform. This momentum led to record backlog gains in the first quarter, supported by early Vera Rubin deployments and continued demand for Blackwell, Hopper and Ampere GPUs, with most new contracts contributing to growth targets through 2027. Its backlog has grown to nearly $100 billion, led by contracts that are already active or expected to come online through 2026 and 2027.

Despite impressive growth, investors should recognize several risks. A lion’s portion of its revenue comes from a relatively small number of large customers. If spending slows among major AI developers, revenue growth could moderate. Building AI infrastructure and maintaining rapid expansion requires continuous financing. First-quarter operating expenses rose to $2.2 billion as CRWV continued aggressively expanding capacity to convert backlog into revenue. Higher infrastructure spending, sales and marketing investments, and growing personnel costs contributed to the increase. It also expects substantial interest expense of $650–$730 million in the second quarter due to rising debt used to fund expansion.

Capital expenditures remain extremely high, with CoreWeave projecting $31 billion–$35 billion in 2026 spending, reflecting ongoing capacity buildouts and higher component costs. While management remains confident in its long-term backlog and growth outlook, the company continues to face significant capital requirements, elevated debt levels and near-term pressure on profitability.

The Case for NBIS StockNebius focuses heavily on AI infrastructure and GPU cloud computing. The company is building a modern AI cloud platform with an emphasis on Europe while also expanding internationally. It is rapidly scaling its infrastructure footprint, increasing contracted power capacity from just over 2 GW to more than 3.5 GW within three months and targeting at least 4 GW by 2026. The company announced a new Pennsylvania data center campus that will support up to 1.2 GW of capacity, marking its second owned gigawatt-scale site in the United States. Most of its upcoming capacity additions are scheduled for late 2026, with major projects expected to begin operations in early 2027.

Demand for Nebius’s full-stack AI platform remains strong, with its sales pipeline growing 3.5x quarter over quarter in the first quarter, excluding large hyperscaler opportunities. Adoption is expanding across industries, including fintech, life sciences, manufacturing, energy and pharmaceuticals. The company is also seeing longer contract durations, larger deal sizes and increased customer prepayments to secure capacity, reflecting strong demand and improving working capital. Notable customers include Revolut, 1X Technologies, Sword Health, Rhoda, and monday.com.

Like CRWV, NBIS also strengthened ties with NVDA. In June, it announced plans to invest approximately £1.7 billion in expanding AI compute capacity across the U.K. The investment includes three new deployments of advanced NVIDIA-powered infrastructure. Nebius also partnered with Kao Data to deploy 22 MW of AI infrastructure in the U.K. under a 10-year agreement, expanding domestic AI computing capacity and supporting its AI Cloud and Token Factory services. It maintains a strong financial position, with $9.3 billion in cash and more than $6 billion raised this year, including funding from NVIDIA and convertible debt offerings. Over 90% of its planned capital expenditures are already supported by cash and contractual commitments.

NBIS also has access to multiple financing sources, including asset-backed financing tied to customer contracts, corporate debt and its at-the-market program, while remaining focused on preserving balance sheet flexibility and limiting shareholder dilution. It pursues acquisitions to supplement inorganic expansion. In the first quarter of 2026, Nebius completed three strategic acquisitions: Tavily, Eigen AI and Clarifai. These deals enhance its capabilities in inference optimization, agentic search and software integration, helping accelerate product development, deepen customer relationships and increase platform stickiness while expanding support for emerging AI workloads.

Although the opportunity is attractive, Nebius faces several challenges. It expects EBITDA margins to remain volatile throughout 2026 as it invests heavily ahead of capacity deployments, with margins likely to weaken in the second quarter before recovering later in the year. The company has also raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $20–$25 billion, reflecting aggressive expansion plans that will require additional financing through debt and other funding sources, increasing capital intensity and execution risk.

Share Performance for CRWV & NBISIn the past year, CRWV has declined 35.5% while NBIS has gained 455.9%.

For investors seeking a more established AI infrastructure leader, CoreWeave appears to be the stronger choice. Its proven execution, deep customer relationships and strategic access to cutting-edge NVIDIA hardware provide a solid foundation for continued growth. For investors with a higher risk tolerance and a longer investment horizon, Nebius may offer greater upside potential due to its early-stage growth profile and opportunity to expand within an underpenetrated European AI cloud market.

Ultimately, both companies could emerge as long-term winners in the AI infrastructure race. A balanced approach may involve holding both stocks for now, with CoreWeave serving as the relatively lower-risk core position and Nebius acting as a higher-potential investment.

CoreWeave Insider Sales Look Big, But Should Investors Worry?
CRWV CoreWeave

$180.25Price Target$131.52

There's nothing quite like the headline "insiders dump billions" to get investors reaching for the sell button. Shares of CoreWeave Inc NASDAQ: CRWV have been doing the opposite of selling off. The stock recently traded above $120 after a sharp rally, extending its year-to-date gain of over 65%. That kind of run is exactly the setup that tends to draw alarmist headlines about insider selling, and this week was no exception.

CoreWeave’s founders have reportedly sold more than $2.3 billion worth of stock since the company’s IPO lockup expired, according to insider-sale reports and public filings. At first glance, that is an eye-catching number—the kind that can make investors wonder whether the people closest to the business are taking money off the table after the stock’s rally.

Get CoreWeave alerts:

But as is often the case with stocks, the headline doesn't always tell the full story. Dig a little deeper into the details, and a very different picture starts to emerge.

What the Insiders Actually DidMost of that reported selling traces back to Michael Intrator, Brannin McBee, and Brian Venturo. Venturo, CoreWeave’s chief strategy officer, accounts for more than $1.1 billion of the total since the lockup expired in August 2025, making him one of the largest insider sellers by value this year.

On paper, those are huge numbers. But context is everything here. All of the sales were executed under 10b5-1 trading plans, which are pre-arranged schedules that allow executives to sell shares at predetermined intervals and prices, regardless of what's happening with the business in real time. These plans are specifically designed to prevent insiders from trading on non-public information, and they're filed and disclosed well in advance.

In other words, these aren't sudden decisions by panicked founders rushing for the exit. They're long-planned liquidity events, exactly the kind you'd expect to see following a successful IPO that's left a handful of executives with the vast majority of their wealth tied up in a single stock. A company spokesperson confirmed as much, noting that the plans were established to provide liquidity and diversify the portfolio, not to signal anything about CoreWeave's prospects.

The Founders Still Have Plenty of Skin in the GameHere's the part that tends to get overlooked when these stories make the rounds. Even after selling more than $2.3 billion in combined sales, the three co-founders still own approximately 18% of the company.

That's not exactly the profile of a leadership team quietly heading for the exit. It's the profile of a team that built a business they still very clearly believe in, and that has sensibly chosen to take some chips off the table, with the stock up nearly 200% from its March 2025 IPO price.

Current Price$100.70High Forecast$200.00Average Forecast$131.52Low Forecast$32.00CoreWeave Stock Forecast Details

While the insider headlines have grabbed attention, the broader business case for CoreWeave has been quietly strengthening. For example, BNP Paribas initiated coverage of the stock earlier this month with an Outperform rating and a $192 price target, implying nearly 55% upside from current levels.

The team there described CoreWeave as one of the most strategically important companies in the AI infrastructure ecosystem and as the largest "neo cloud" platform built specifically for AI workloads.

The relationship with NVIDIA Corp NASDAQ: NVDA is a key part of that thesis. NVIDIA owns roughly 11% of CoreWeave, gives it priority access to its highly sought-after hardware, and has every reason to keep CoreWeave well supplied as a scaled alternative to the major hyperscalers.

That kind of structural alignment is hard to replicate, and it's a significant reason analysts continue to view CoreWeave as a long-term winner in AI infrastructure rather than a short-term momentum play.

Time to Panic, or Time to Pay Attention?So, is now the time to panic about the insider selling? Almost certainly not. The sales are pre-planned, the founders retain enormous skin in the game, and the broader business is firing on every cylinder you'd want it to be.

If anything, the stock’s roughly 30% gain over the past week suggests the broader market is not treating the insider-selling headlines as a dealbreaker.

For investors weighing up CoreWeave at current levels, the noise might be loud, but the signal is clear. While the headlines are telling you to be nervous, the price action, the analyst coverage, and the underlying AI infrastructure story are all telling you to take a much closer look.

Should You Invest $1,000 in CoreWeave Right Now?Before you consider CoreWeave, you'll want to hear this.

MarketBeat has identified the five stocks that top analysts are quietly whispering to their clients to buy now before the broader market catches on... and CoreWeave wasn't on the list.

Here's Why Capri Holdings (CPRI) is a Strong Momentum Stock
CPRI Capri Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
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.

The research service features 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, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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: Capri Holdings (CPRI - Free Report) Capri Holdings Limited operates in the global personal luxury goods industry through two fashion luxury houses: Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo. The company designs, markets and distributes luxury accessories, footwear and apparel through retail stores, e-commerce sites, and wholesale partners, supported by product and geographic licensing agreements. The company sells across three principal geographic markets: the Americas, EMEA and Asia. E-commerce represented approximately 21% of net revenues in fiscal 2026.

CPRI is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Retail-Wholesale stock. CPRI has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 5.3% over the past four weeks.

Four analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.20 to $2.01 per share. CPRI also boasts an average earnings surprise of +66.8%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, CPRI should be on investors' short list.

3 mREIT Stocks to Bet On Amid Challenging Industry Trends
RWT Redwood Trust
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry is bearing the brunt of mortgage rate volatility, fueled by persistent inflation and broader economic uncertainty. With mortgage rates averaging in the mid-6% in recent weeks, industry players are likely to face continued earnings pressure in the near term.

Ongoing affordability challenges in the housing market are weighing on purchase originations and refinancing activity.  However, companies like Ellington Financial LLC (EFC - Free Report) , Redwood Trust Inc. (RWT - Free Report) and TPG Mortgage Investment Trust Inc. (MITT - Free Report) are well-poised to navigate industry challenges.

About the Industry The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry comprises mortgage REITs, also known as mREITs. Industry participants invest in and originate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and provide mortgage credit for homeowners and businesses. Typically, these companies focus on either the residential or commercial mortgage markets. Some invest in both markets through asset-backed securities. Agency securities are backed by the federal government, making them safer bets and limiting credit risks. Such REITs raise funds in the debt and equity markets through common and preferred equity, repurchase agreements, structured financing, convertible and long-term debt, and other credit facilities. The net interest margin, the spread between interest income on mortgage assets and securities held, as well as funding costs, is a key revenue metric for mREITs.

What's Shaping the Future of the mREIT Industry? Volatility in Mortgage Rates Keeps Buyers on Sidelines: The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has climbed in recent weeks to the mid-6% from low-6% range in the start of the 2026.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged so far in 2026 as policymakers continue to balance rising inflation with a resilient labor market. Against this backdrop, mortgage rates are likely to remain elevated in the near term.

Higher borrowing costs, combined with affordability pressures and economic uncertainty, have discouraged many potential homebuyers from entering the market.

As a result, mortgage origination and refinancing activity are under pressure. This trend is expected to heighten operational and financial challenges for mREIT industry players, while weighing on gain-on-sale margins and limiting investment activity.
 

Industry Resorts to Dividend Cuts as Book Values Erode: Elevated interest rates, persistent mortgage market volatility, and the widening spread between 30-year Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields have reduced the value of Agency MBS portfolios.

As such, agency mREITs are witnessing a decline in tangible book value as spreads on benchmark indices have widened. This will increase earnings pressure for highly leveraged mREITs.

To preserve capital and align payouts with sustainable earnings, many ndustry players are reducing dividends. Dividend cuts may trigger investor outflows from income-focused funds, further weighing on share prices and book values, creating near-term headwinds for the mREITs.
 

Conservative Approach to Aid Long-Term Returns: In the current volatile mortgage market environment, mREITs are adopting a more conservative approach, which could strengthen their long-term positioning.

By becoming more selective in their investments, these companies are focusing on higher-quality assets, thereby enhancing the overall resilience and stability of their portfolios.

This disciplined strategy helps reduce exposure to risky credit conditions and limits potential losses during periods of uncertainty.

Additionally, the use of higher hedge ratios to manage interest rate risks reflects prudent financial management. While this approach may restrict near-term upside, it improves earnings visibility and protects capital from sudden market fluctuations.

By prioritizing liquidity, asset quality and risk management, mREITs are better-equipped to navigate market volatility and capitalize on attractive opportunities once conditions stabilize.

Overall, this cautious stance supports sustainable performance and creates a stronger foundation for consistent long-term returns.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bleak Prospects The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry is housed within the broader Zacks Finance sector. The industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank #211, which places it in the bottom 15% of more than 244 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates underperformance in the near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry’s positioning in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is an outcome of the discouraging earnings outlook for the constituent companies.

Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gradually losing confidence in this group's earnings growth potential. The industry’s current-year earnings estimate moved 9.3% down over the last year.

Before we present a few stocks that you may want to buy despite near-term challenges, let us take a look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

Industry Lags the Sector & the S&P 500 The Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry has underperformed the broader Zacks Finance sector and the S&P 500 composite in the past year.

The industry has gained 1.4% in the above-mentioned period compared with the broader sector’s rise of 15.6%. Further, the S&P Index has grown 27.7% over the past year.

Price Performance

 

Industry's Current Valuation Based on the trailing 12-month price-to-book (P/B), which is a commonly used multiple for valuing mREITs, the industry is trading at 0.93X compared with the S&P 500’s 8.02X. In the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 1.05X, as low as 0.70X and at the median of 0.91X.

Price-to-Book TTM

As finance stocks typically have a low P/B ratio, comparing REIT and Equity Trust with the S&P 500 may not make sense to many investors. A comparison of the group’s P/B ratio with that of the broader sector ensures that the group is trading at a solid discount. The Zacks Finance sector’s trailing 12-month P/B came in at 4.53X. This is above the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust industry’s ratio, as the chart below shows.

Key Takeaways QUBT posted record $3.7M first-quarter 2026 revenues, driven by Luminar Semiconductor and NuCrypt buyouts.Quantum Computing ended the quarter with a $16M contract backlog and about $1.4B in cash and investments.QUBT regained its 50-day moving average, while analysts' average price target implies 73.9% upside. Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT - Free Report) or QCi has delivered a modest 6.2% gain over the past two months, trailing the broader Computer & Technology sector's 11.8% advance and the company’s direct peer IonQ’s (IONQ - Free Report) 23.2% growth. The relative underperformance stands in contrast to the company's improving fundamentals, raising an important question for investors: Is it time to book profits, or does the stock still have room to run? Let’s find out.

QUBT: 60-day Price Performance

Why Investors Are Finally Separating Quantum Computing Winners From Losers
QUBT Quantum Computing
FMP Stock News
Original source text
For much of the past two years, investors treated quantum computing as a single investment theme. Whether a company pursued trapped-ion systems, superconducting qubits, quantum annealing, or photonic architectures mattered less than the fact that it was associated with quantum computing. Capital flowed broadly into the sector as investors searched for the next transformative technology platform following artificial intelligence.

Recent stock performance suggests that phase may be ending.

Investors are beginning to distinguish between companies demonstrating commercial progress and those that remain dependent on future technological milestones. This shift is important because it often marks the transition from speculative enthusiasm to fundamental analysis, a pattern that has repeated itself throughout technology history. The internet boom eventually separated Amazon from hundreds of failed dot-coms. Artificial intelligence ultimately produced clear winners such as Nvidia while countless AI startups disappeared. Quantum computing appears to be entering a similar phase.

Over the past six months, one company has clearly separated itself from the pack.

Quantum Computing Is No Longer One Trade Investors often speak about quantum computing as if every company in the sector is moving in the same direction. Stock performance suggests otherwise. During the past six months, investors have become increasingly selective, rewarding companies demonstrating commercial progress while punishing those still dependent on future technological milestones. This shift is important because it suggests the market is moving beyond broad enthusiasm for quantum computing and beginning to evaluate individual companies based on execution, revenue growth, and customer adoption.

I show in Chart 1 that the four leading publicly traded pure-play quantum computing companies have produced dramatically different returns despite operating within the same industry.

| IONQ Price Prediction

Chart 1. Six-Month Performance of Leading Pure-Play Quantum Computing Stocks

The chart highlights a growing divergence among the leading publicly traded quantum computing companies. While IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) has generated positive returns for investors, D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), and Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) have all moved lower despite continued announcements of technological progress, partnerships, and product development. Investors appear to be rewarding evidence of commercialization while becoming less willing to finance future possibilities indefinitely.

This development is not necessarily a judgment on the quality of the underlying technologies. Rather, it reflects a growing emphasis on revenue growth, customer adoption, strategic partnerships, and balance sheet strength. As industries mature, investors gradually shift their focus away from scientific potential and toward business execution. The market is beginning to ask which companies can build sustainable businesses rather than simply demonstrate scientific achievements.

The Jensen Huang Turning Point One of the catalysts for this transition can be traced back to comments made by Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang in January 2025. When Huang suggested that practical quantum computing might still be decades away, the sector experienced a sharp selloff. Many investors interpreted the remarks as a dismissal of quantum computing’s future prospects.

What happened afterward tells a more nuanced story.

Nvidia did not retreat from quantum computing. Instead, the company increased its engagement with the industry through CUDA-Q development, quantum ecosystem initiatives, and partnerships designed to support hybrid quantum-classical computing environments. Huang’s comments ultimately highlighted a distinction that many investors initially overlooked. Fully fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of transforming entire industries may still be years away, but commercial quantum applications are already beginning to emerge in optimization, simulation, logistics, materials science, and scientific research.

That distinction helps explain why investors are becoming more selective. The debate is no longer whether quantum computing will eventually become important. The debate is which companies can bridge the gap between promising technology and sustainable revenue generation.

Why IonQ Is Pulling Ahead While investors often group quantum companies together, the reality is that they pursue very different technologies and target different end markets. The sector remains fragmented, with no dominant architecture and no clear commercial standard. Some companies emphasize optimization, others focus on general-purpose quantum computing, while still others pursue photonic or software-centric approaches. The market is beginning to differentiate among these strategies based not on scientific promise alone, but on each company’s ability to generate revenue, secure customers, and establish a sustainable business model.

I show in Table 1 the principal publicly traded quantum computing companies and their current commercial positions.

Among these companies, IonQ appears to have gained an early advantage. The company’s trapped-ion architecture has attracted considerable attention, but investors seem equally focused on its expanding commercial relationships, government contracts, research partnerships, and growing financial resources. These factors provide a level of visibility that many competitors have yet to achieve.

By contrast, D-Wave continues to pursue a specialized quantum annealing strategy focused on optimization applications, while Rigetti remains committed to superconducting architectures that compete more directly with approaches used by larger technology companies. Quantum Computing Inc. continues to pursue photonic and software-based solutions, but investors remain cautious as the company works to establish meaningful commercial traction.

The Infrastructure Companies May Be the Real Winners The challenge facing all of these companies is that quantum computing remains one of the most difficult engineering problems in modern technology. Error correction, system scalability, manufacturing complexity, software development, and hardware reliability continue to limit widespread deployment. Progress is occurring, but the pace remains slower than many investors originally expected.

This reality helps explain why some of the largest beneficiaries of quantum computing may ultimately be companies that never build a quantum computer themselves.

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Nvidia continue investing heavily in quantum infrastructure, cloud platforms, software frameworks, and hybrid computing environments. These companies are positioned to benefit regardless of which hardware architecture ultimately becomes dominant. The strategy mirrors Nvidia’s role in artificial intelligence, where the company became indispensable without developing the applications that captured headlines.

For investors, this creates two very different approaches to the sector. One approach involves selecting individual quantum companies and attempting to identify the eventual winners. The other involves investing in the infrastructure providers that stand to benefit from broader industry adoption regardless of which architecture prevails.

Investor Takeaway History suggests that technology revolutions rarely produce as many winners as investors initially expect. During the internet boom, hundreds of companies promised to reshape commerce, communication, and media. A handful ultimately dominated while most disappeared. Quantum computing is likely to follow a similar path.

Investor enthusiasm for the sector remains understandable. The potential applications span drug discovery, advanced materials, financial modeling, logistics optimization, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. The opportunity is enormous if the technology can achieve commercial scale. The challenge is determining which companies will capture that opportunity and which will struggle to convert scientific progress into economic returns.

The stock market appears to be making its first decisions.

For now, IonQ is emerging as the early favorite among publicly traded pure-play quantum computing companies. Whether that leadership proves durable remains to be seen, but the market’s message is becoming increasingly clear. Investors are no longer buying quantum computing simply because it sounds exciting. They are beginning to reward companies that demonstrate a credible path toward commercialization and sustainable growth.

That shift may ultimately prove to be the most important development in the sector since quantum computing became an investable theme.

Are Navitas Investors Missing the Grid Behind the AI Hype?
NVTS Navitas Semiconductor
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Navitas' AI infrastructure unit grew 50% sequentially in Q1, including data centers and grid infrastructure.Navitas sees energy and grid as a $1-$1.8B serviceable market by 2030, driven by power demand.NVTS has no debt, $221M in cash, and a 2030 serviceable market outlook of $3.5B across GaN and SiC. Most investors know Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS - Free Report) for its artificial intelligence (AI) story. The company has attracted much attention through its partnership with NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) , its 800V data center power architecture, and its gallium nitride (GaN) technology aimed at next-generation AI infrastructure.

But there's another growth driver taking shape in the background. As AI data centers consume ever-larger amounts of electricity, the need to upgrade and modernize the power grid is becoming increasingly urgent. And that's creating a meaningful opportunity for Navitas' silicon carbide (SiC) business.

Navitas' $1.8B Grid OpportunityOn the company's last earnings call, management revealed that its AI infrastructure segment—which includes both data centers and grid infrastructure—grew 50% sequentially. CEO Chris Allexandre emphasized that the two markets are closely linked.

The opportunity could be larger than many investors appreciate. Traditional transformers were designed decades ago and are increasingly being stretched by today's power requirements. As AI data centers proliferate and electricity consumption rises, utilities may need more efficient solutions capable of handling higher power loads. Management believes solid-state transformers and other advanced power-conversion technologies could become an important part of that transition.

In other words, the AI boom is creating a massive new demand for electricity, and that demand is forcing utilities and infrastructure providers to invest in grid upgrades. Customer engagement in the U.S. grid infrastructure accelerated in the first quarter of 2026. Navitas is already seeing interest from customers involved in grid-scale solar, megawatt power conversion, and other energy infrastructure projects, with adoption expected to build through 2026 and 2027 before accelerating further later in the decade. Importantly, Navitas sees the energy and grid segment alone representing a $1-$1.8 billion serviceable market by 2030.

Navitas’ 2.3kV and 3.3kV SiC modules are designed for applications like battery energy storage systems, utility solar farms, and solid-state transformers. Its 250kW solid-state transformer demonstration uses GeneSiC technology for scalable 800V DC distribution.

NVTS Combined TAM Makes the Real CaseNavitas puts its total serviceable addressable market at $3.5 billion by 2030— split roughly 50-50 between GaN and high-voltage SiC technologies, with a combined CAGR exceeding 60%. Management is laser-focused on data centers and grid opportunity, which it identifies as the largest portion of that total addressable market.

Navitas maintains a strong balance sheet with no debt and substantial liquidity. The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with $221 million in cash and cash equivalents. This financial position provides flexibility to continue investing in research and development, customer engagements, and product commercialization without immediate financing pressure. 

Basically, the AI and grid infrastructure are not separate investment themes. They are, in fact, two sides of the same story. AI is driving an unprecedented increase in power demand, while grid modernization is the response required to support that demand.

Because Navitas has exposure to both data center power systems through GaN and grid infrastructure through high-voltage SiC, it sits at the intersection of these trends. Investors focused solely on the AI narrative may be missing a second growth engine that could become increasingly important over the next several years.

Competitive Landscape: onsemi & STMicroelectronicsonsemi (ON - Free Report) has built a strong position in energy storage systems (ESS), with management citing market share approaching 60% in string ESS and microgrid applications, and expecting revenues from these segments to grow more than 40% year over year in 2026. onsemi’s GaNEXUS power portfolio— targeting AI data center infrastructure and industrial power—recognizes the big opportunity in these areas.

STMicroelectronics (STM - Free Report) is similarly making grid and energy infrastructure a strategic priority, investing heavily in silicon carbide technologies while expanding relationships with solar, battery storage and power-conversion customers. As renewable energy deployment accelerates globally, STMicroelectronics is positioning its high-efficiency SiC portfolio to capture growing demand across industrial electrification and grid modernization.

NVTS' Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Navitas have rallied 232% year to date compared with the industry’s growth of 66%.

AIRO Debuts RQ-70 Long-Range ISR Drone Platform at Eurosatory 2026, Advancing Multi-Product Growth Strategy
AIRO AIRO Group Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIRO), a next-generation aerospace and defense company, in combination with Sky-Watch A/S, its wholly owned subsidiary, today announced the public unveiling of its RQ-70, a new deep-reach intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) drone, extending ISR capabilities beyond the immediate tactical frontline.

“The RQ-70 is a direct response to what our customers have been asking for, with longer range, greater endurance, and the same operational reliability they have come to expect from the RQ-35,” - Joe Burns, AIRO CEO

Share The announcement was made at Eurosatory 2026, a global event for defense and security held in Paris.

AIRO expects the RQ-70 to enter full-scale production in January 2027, leveraging the Company's existing manufacturing infrastructure and NDAA supply chain capabilities developed through the successful production of the RQ-35 platform. The Company is currently engaged with multiple existing and prospective defense customers regarding future RQ-70 deployment opportunities.

“The RQ-70 is a direct response to what our customers have been asking for, with longer range, greater endurance, and the same operational reliability they have come to expect from the RQ-35,” said Joe Burns, AIRO CEO. “Together, these platforms give allied defense forces a complete ISR toolkit, and give AIRO a stronger foundation to compete across a broader set of mission requirements.”

The RQ-70 builds on the operational success of the RQ-35 Heidrun, which has been deployed by NATO member and allied forces, and directly addresses growing customer demand for longer-range ISR capability and extended mission endurance. Together, the two platforms establish AIRO as a multi-platform ISR provider equipped to serve a broad spectrum of mission requirements across allied defense forces. The introduction of the RQ-70 deepens AIRO’s presence in the defense drone market while expanding its customer base.

Building on the RQ-35’s proven operational model, the RQ-70 supports standard hand launch and deep-stall landing, operates in GNSS-denied environments, and incorporates onboard AI to further advance AIRO’s AI roadmap. The platform also offers configuration flexibility, including standard, long-range, and VTOL-enabled options. In addition, the RQ-70 features a modular payload and software architecture that can be tailored to specific mission requirements, enabling it to serve as a standalone, full-service ISR drone for many NATO and allied defense customers.

Other key system capabilities include up to 8 hours of endurance for persistent surveillance and longer time on station; ISR operations beyond the front lines with an operational range of 62+ miles (100 km); resilience in GPS/GNSS-denied environments; deployment by a single operator with fully autonomous mission operation and recovery; and connectivity designed for digital battlefield integration.

“Modern conflicts have shown that success depends on a multitude of factors, such as how quickly intelligence can be collected, processed, and delivered to decision-makers. The RQ-70 is designed to meet that challenge, delivering long-range, persistent surveillance that integrates seamlessly into connected battlefield environments to provide reliable intelligence when it matters most,” said Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, AIRO Executive Chairman.

The unveiling at Eurosatory gives customers, partners, and industry stakeholders their first chance to see the aircraft configuration firsthand, providing a clear sense of its scale, capabilities, and intended operational concept.

Brinker International, Inc. (EAT) Is a Trending Stock: Facts to Know Before Betting on It
EAT.US Brinker International
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Brinker International (EAT - Free Report) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.

Shares of this operator of restaurant chains Chili's Grill & Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy have returned +20.7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.4% change. The Zacks Retail - Restaurants industry, to which Brinker International belongs, has lost 0.3% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?

Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.

Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.

Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.

Brinker International is expected to post earnings of $3.08 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +23.7%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.1%.

The consensus earnings estimate of $10.75 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +20.8%. This estimate has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $12.42 indicates a change of +15.6% from what Brinker International is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.2%.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Brinker International is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Revenue Growth ForecastEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.

For Brinker International, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $1.53 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +4.7%. For the current and next fiscal years, $5.81 billion and $6.11 billion estimates indicate +7.9% and +5.3% changes, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryBrinker International reported revenues of $1.47 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +3.2%. EPS of $2.9 for the same period compares with $2.66 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.48 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -0.59%. The EPS surprise was +1.75%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.

ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.

Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.

As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

Brinker International is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Brinker International. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Brookfield Asset Management vs. Blackstone: Which Financial Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
BAM Brookfield Asset Management
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Both Brookfield Asset Management (BAM 1.97%) and Blackstone (BX 3.49%) dominate the world of alternative investments, which include assets like real estate and private equity that are not traded on public exchanges. While one leans heavily into infrastructure and renewable power, the other uses its massive scale to influence global markets. This makes both companies vital to follow for those interested in the sector.

Brookfield Asset Management focuses on "real" assets, providing investment products in renewable power, infrastructure, private equity, and credit. The company manages nearly $1 trillion for over 2,400 institutional clients, making it a prominent player among financial stocks. Strategic moves in 2026 include the expected acquisition of Oaktree Capital Management and an AI infrastructure partnership with Nvidia.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $4.9 billion, representing a growth rate of approximately 23.5% over the prior year. This expansion helped the firm generate net income of roughly $2.5 billion for the period. The company maintained a strong net margin of about 50.5%, although this was a slight decrease from the 54.5% net margin reported in the prior fiscal year.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio, which measures total debt against shareholder equity, was roughly 0.4x. The current ratio, representing the ability to cover short-term debts with short-term assets, was approximately 4.2x. Free cash flow, calculated as cash from operations minus capital expenditures, was close to $2.1 billion for the fiscal year.

The case for BlackstoneBlackstone operates as the world's largest alternative asset manager, overseeing more than $1.3 trillion across segments like real estate and private credit. The firm serves a global base of institutional investors and is rapidly growing its reach to individual investors through dedicated private wealth platforms. Current activities include backing AI service providers through ventures like Anthropic and pursuing an acquisition of H&R Real Estate Investment Trust in mid-2026.

During FY 2025, the firm generated revenue of nearly $13.8 billion, a 21.6% increase compared to the prior fiscal year. This resulted in net income of approximately $3.0 billion for the same period. While the top line grew significantly, the net margin was roughly 21.8%, representing the percentage of revenue kept as profit after all costs.

Based on its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 1.5x. The current ratio is close to 0.9x, indicating that current liabilities slightly exceed current assets. Free cash flow for the year reached roughly $1.7 billion, though stock-based compensation represented roughly 104.7% of operating cash flow, meaning reported cash generation is heavily inflated by this non-cash add-back.

Risk profile comparisonBrookfield Asset Management faces risks from interest rate volatility, which affects the valuations of its infrastructure and real estate holdings. Operating in over 50 countries exposes the firm to complex international regulations and varying compliance costs. The rapid pace of expansion through acquisitions, such as Boralex and Peakstone Realty Trust, also introduces significant integration and operational execution risks.

Blackstone is sensitive to economic cycles that can impact fundraising and performance-based revenue. Elevated interest rates negatively affect real estate valuations, which is a core part of its portfolio. The firm also faces intense competition for high-quality assets from other major managers like Apollo Global Management and KKR while navigating increased regulatory oversight.

Valuation comparisonBlackstone trades at a lower P/S ratio, while Brookfield Asset Management carries a higher Forward P/E based on future earnings estimates.

Which stock would I buy in 2026?Brookfield Asset Management and Blackstone are two of the largest alternative asset managers in the world, with each managing more than $1 trillion in assets. Which is the better buy this year? It depends on your goals and what’s already in your portfolio. Blackstone’s business is more straightforward and is focused on credit, private equity, and hedge funds. It grows its earnings by collecting performance and asset management fees and returns the earnings to investors via share repurchases and dividends (its annual dividend yield is around 4%).

Brookfield Asset Management performs similar asset management functions as Blackstone, but also operates a portfolio of its own renewable energy, infrastructure, and real estate companies. Instead of paying all of its earnings back to investors (its recent dividend yield was close to 4.2%), it also reinvests some of its earnings into its businesses.

Both stocks have been stellar holdings, delivering more than 60% total returns over the last five years, and investors may find there’s room for both in their portfolios. But if I had to choose only one, I prefer Brookfield’s more diversified approach to alternative asset management.

Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.

IX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.59, while BAM has a forward P/E of 25.80. We also note that IX has a PEG ratio of 1.34. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. BAM currently has a PEG ratio of 1.81.

Another notable valuation metric for IX is its P/B ratio of 1.48. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, BAM has a P/B of 9.05.

Based on these metrics and many more, IX holds a Value grade of B, while BAM has a Value grade of D.

IX has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than BAM, so it seems like value investors will conclude that IX is the superior option right now.

BROOKFIELD, News, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM) (“Brookfield”) is pleased to share that the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (“EDF”) has conditionally committed funding for $17.5 billion in loan facilities (the “American Supply Chain Loans” or “the Loans”) to support investment in U.S. nuclear reactors. The Loans intend to finance the long-lead equipment necessary to construct up to 10 Westinghouse Electric Company (“Westinghouse”) AP1000 nuclear reactors in the United States. Westinghouse is a leading global nuclear services business jointly owned by Brookfield and its institutional partners (51%) and Cameco Corporation (49%).

Connor Teskey, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Asset Management, said: “Westinghouse continues to be at the forefront of major public and private partnerships that will materially accelerate the build-out of large-scale nuclear power generation, help meet growing energy demand, and support energy security in the U.S.  The loan facilities help advance President Trump’s Executive Order and serves as a catalyst for nuclear, providing the certainty needed to enhance the domestic nuclear supply chain and accelerate construction of nuclear projects that will deliver reliable baseload power around the country for decades to come.”

The conditional financing package will enable eligible utility and energy company partners, the anticipated owners of the projects, to purchase long-lead items and help accelerate construction and commercial operations of Westinghouse reactors by up to three years, with the aim of having 10 reactors under construction by 2030. It is expected that DOE may make up to five Loans, with each loan supporting two reactors.

While this conditional commitment indicates DOE’s intent to provide loans to finance the projects, Westinghouse, its owners, and its partners must satisfy certain technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions before DOE enters into definitive financing documents and funds the Loans.

Westinghouse Announces Department of Energy Partnership to Jumpstart Large-Scale Nuclear Supply Chain
BAM Brookfield Asset Management
FMP Stock News
Original source text

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westinghouse Electric Company announced today its intention to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) on the American Nuclear Supply Chain Loans. The program will enable investment in nuclear supply chains and accelerate deployment of new nuclear generation at scale in the United States.

EDF has announced a conditional commitment of $17.5B in obligated funds to finance the purchase of long-lead time items (LLI) for up to 10 Westinghouse AP1000® units, the only fully designed and licensed advanced commercial reactor operating in the United States today. Advance purchase of LLI is expected to accelerate project deployment timelines by up to three years and create significant supply chain efficiencies.

“America has always won when it thinks big and builds for the future. If we want to lead in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and the industries that will define the next century – we need more American baseload energy. This means building industrialized nuclear power at fleet scale, creating long-term economic growth, thousands of high-quality jobs, strengthening supply chains and revitalizing communities,” said Westinghouse CEO Dan Sumner. “We thank the Administration and the Department of Energy for their commitment and leadership on this strategic initiative.”

Westinghouse will partner with up to five eligible utilities or energy companies to procure LLI for projects with two reactors each and has signed Letters of Intent with seven potential partners with identified sites.

While this conditional commitment from EDF indicates the Department’s intent to provide a loan to finance the projects, DOE and Westinghouse must satisfy certain technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions before the Department enters into definitive financing documents and funds the loan. Additional details are available here.

The advanced AP1000 reactor is the only operating Generation III+ reactor with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. There are six AP1000 reactors currently setting operational performance and availability records worldwide with 14 additional reactors under construction and five more under contract. The AP1000 technology has been selected for nuclear energy programs in Poland, Ukraine and Bulgaria, and is also under consideration at multiple other sites in Europe, the Middle East and North America.

Westinghouse Electric Company is the future of energy, providing reliable, innovative nuclear technologies and services globally. Westinghouse pioneered commercial nuclear power, delivering the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in 1957. The company has industrialized more nuclear reactors than any other company, with its technology forming the basis of half of the world's operating nuclear plants. More than 140 years of innovation makes Westinghouse the preferred partner for advanced technologies covering the complete nuclear energy life cycle.

Sharplink Announces Pricing of $75 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced at Approximately 41% Premium to Last Closing Share Price
SBET SharpLink Gaming
FMP Stock News
Original source text
MIAMI, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharplink, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) ("Sharplink" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest corporate holders of Ether ("ETH") and a prominent industry advocate of Ethereum adoption, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) for the purchase and sale of 10,013,351 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares), and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 10,013,351 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $7.49 per Share and Warrant. The purchase price represents a 41% premium to the Company’s closing share price of $5.29 on June 18, 2026 (the “Closing Share Price”), as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and a premium to the net asset value (“NAV”) of Sharplink’s ETH holdings1 reported as of June 16, 2026 of 875,776 ETH. The Warrants will have an exercise price of $8.15 per Share, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance, and will expire four (4) years from the date of issuance.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the registered direct offering (the “Offering”) are expected to be approximately $75 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about Tuesday, June 23, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the accumulation of additional ETH and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Commenting on the transaction, Joseph Chalom, Sharplink’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This financing represents a powerful endorsement of Sharplink’s Ethereum treasury strategy. The fact that we raised capital at a premium to both our prevailing market price and the value of our underlying ETH holdings demonstrates that sophisticated investors recognize the unique value proposition we are building. Moreover, it is becoming evident that public market investors are increasingly seeking more than passive ETH exposure. They are looking for platforms capable of compounding ETH ownership and share value over time through active capital allocation, strategic treasury management and access to opportunities unavailable to most market participants.

“By issuing equity above the value of our existing ETH holdings, this transaction is immediately supportive of our objective to increase ETH exposure on an accretive per-share basis while preserving financial flexibility. The proceeds from this offering enhance our ability to expand our Ethereum treasury, opportunistically repurchase shares and continue executing on our mission to build the leading institutional-grade, most productive Ethereum treasury platform in the public markets.”

The Offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-287708), which was automatically declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 30, 2025. The Offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus that form a part of the effective shelf registration statement. A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering will be filed by the Company with the SEC. When available, copies of the prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, together with the accompanying prospectus, can be obtained at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by contacting A.G.P./Alliance Capital Partners, 590 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

Thompson Hine LLP is acting as legal advisor to Sharplink. Sullivan & Worcester LLP is acting as legal advisor to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described above, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Such statements include, but are not limited to, goals and expectations regarding the Company’s strategy and potential partnerships; the intended use of proceeds, including potential share repurchases; the Company’s Ethereum treasury strategy and expected common stock per-share effects; and other statements accompanied by the words “intends,” “may,” “will,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “estimates,” “aims,” “believes,” “hopes,” “potential” or similar words, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Actual results could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including without limitation, the anticipated gross proceeds from the Offering, the intended use of proceeds therefrom, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and the expected timing and completion of the Offering, the potential use of the Company’s ATM facility; the Company’s ability to repurchase additional shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program; the Company’s ability to achieve and sustain profitable operations; volatility in the market price of ETH and its resulting impact on the Company’s accounting and financial reporting; changes in government regulation of cryptocurrencies and online betting; changes in securities laws or other applicable regulations; fluctuations in customer demand and overall economic conditions; competitive pressures, including competing products, pricing, and sales cycles; the protection and enforcement of the Company’s proprietary rights; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report and other filings with the SEC. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, entities are generally required to measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes reflected in net income each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of crypto assets could result in significant fluctuations to the balance sheet and income statement results. Additionally, for other certain types of crypto assets, the Company uses the historical costs less impairment model. This model may require the Company to record an associated impairment charge reflected in net income as a result of a decrease in the market price of the crypto assets below the cost value at which the Company’s crypto assets are carried on its balance sheet. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any responsibility to update the forward-looking statements in this press release.

Planet Labs Stock Has Quickly Fallen 40%. Time to Buy the Dip?
PL Planet Labs
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Shares of Planet Labs (PL 4.47%) have fallen over 40% this past month, dropping from an all-time high of about $51 in May to around $28.

The main reason for the space stock's sudden slump has less to do with the company's own financials and more to do with space-focused investors rotating capital out of existing satellite and data companies, such as Planet Labs, and into Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, at its initial public offering (IPO).

The other reason concerns Planet Labs' financials. It reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings on June 4. While revenue was up 42% year over year to $94.2 million and the company grew its backlog to $906 million, up 72% over the same quarter a year ago, it posted a large net loss.

Planet Labs reported a net loss of $138.9 million vs. $12.6 million in the first quarter. However, a good portion, $106.5 million, was due to a one-time, noncash accounting adjustment tied to the appreciation of the company's warrant liabilities.

Image source: Getty Images.

Why this is a buying opportunity The stock's price has fallen more to external factors than internal ones, and the need for global surveillance should drive revenue growth. The company ended the quarter with $730.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, giving it plenty to fund its next-generation satellite constellations without selling stock, which would dilute its share price.

Today's Change

Current Price

$

27.25

That doesn't mean there aren't concerns. The company is several years away from profitability and trades at a high price-to-sales ratio of 26.9, especially compared to competitor Blacksky Technology at 10.3.

Geopolitical tensions are driving government contracts for Earth data. Planet's Defense and Intelligence segment revenue grew more than 65% year over year in the first quarter. It recently locked in a $21.9 million extension of a maritime surveillance contract with the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and deployed Sweden's first sovereign reconnaissance satellite just four months after signing the deal.

Considering all that, it's likely the stock will bounce back, and buying at a low now could pay off.

James Halley has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends BlackSky Technology and Planet Labs PBC. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Kohl's Gains 38.8% in 3 Months: How Should Investors Play KSS?
KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways KSS shares rose 38.8% in three months, outpacing its industry, sector and the S&P 500.Kohl's posted its best comparable-sales performance in over four years in fiscal Q1. KSS faces pressured shoppers, tough competition and guidance for flat to down 2% sales. Kohl's Corporation (KSS - Free Report) has rallied 38.8% over the past three months, outpacing the industry, the broader Zacks Retail – Wholesale sector and the S&P 500’s respective gains of 10.3%, 5.1% and 14.2%.

The rally reflects improving investor confidence in Kohl’s turnaround efforts, including initiatives to enhance merchandise productivity, deepen customer engagement and strengthen profitability. Disciplined expense management, cleaner inventories, a healthier balance sheet and favorable earnings estimate revisions have further supported sentiment.

While macroeconomic pressures and intense competition remain concerns, improving operating trends suggest that investors are reassessing KSS’ risk-reward profile and evaluating whether the stock’s recent momentum can continue.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Kohl's Benefits From Strategic InitiativesKohl's delivered its best comparable-sales performance in more than four years during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, signaling that management's strategic initiatives are beginning to resonate with customers. The company has focused on offering a more curated assortment, which helped drive flat-to-slightly positive comparable sales across key categories, including Women's, Kids', Home and Accessories.

A major contributor has been the strength of Kohl's proprietary brands. These brands posted a 6% comparable-sales increase in the first quarter, led by strong demand for labels such as FLX, Tek Gear and SO. The emphasis on exclusive brands mirrors a strategy that has helped retailers like Target Corporation (TGT - Free Report) differentiate their assortments and strengthen customer loyalty. For Kohl's, proprietary brands also support margins while enhancing its value proposition.

The company is also investing in digital and omnichannel capabilities. Kohl's recently launched an AI-powered gift finder using Google Gemini technology and continues to enhance digital navigation, product discovery and marketplace offerings. These efforts are designed to create a more seamless shopping experience and improve customer engagement across channels.

Kohl's progress is noteworthy given the highly competitive retail landscape. Unlike Walmart Inc. (WMT - Free Report) , which benefits from a large grocery business that drives recurring customer traffic, Kohl's remains more reliant on discretionary spending categories. Nevertheless, the retailer has improved inventory productivity, reduced costs and strengthened its balance sheet, all of which have helped bolster investor confidence.

Value remains another key pillar of the company's strategy. While The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX - Free Report) attracts shoppers through its off-price treasure-hunt model, Kohl's is pursuing a different approach through proprietary brands, loyalty programs and targeted promotions. Combined with lower inventory levels, stable margins and debt reduction efforts, these initiatives have helped support the recent improvement in sentiment surrounding KSS.

Kohl's Faces Several Near-Term ChallengesDespite the recent progress, Kohl's continues to operate in a difficult consumer environment. Middle-income shoppers remain pressured by inflation and higher living costs, causing many consumers to prioritize essential purchases over discretionary spending. Given Kohl's exposure to apparel and home-related categories, fluctuations in consumer demand remain an important risk factor.

The company also faces intense competition across the retail landscape. Department stores, specialty retailers, mass merchants and off-price chains continue to invest heavily in pricing, merchandising and omnichannel capabilities. Maintaining market share while preserving profitability could become increasingly difficult if promotional activity intensifies across the sector.

Although trends are improving, the turnaround remains a work in progress. First-quarter net sales declined 1.7%, while comparable sales decreased 1.1%. Management also reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance, calling for net sales and comparable sales to range from flat to down 2%, suggesting that visibility into a sustained demand recovery remains somewhat limited.

KSS’ Estimate Revisions Signal Improving SentimentThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Kohl's current fiscal-year earnings per share has increased 3.1% over the past seven days, while the estimate for the next fiscal year has risen 0.7%.
 

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Upward estimate revisions generally reflect growing confidence among analysts regarding a company's earnings outlook. The recent revisions suggest that Wall Street is becoming increasingly constructive on Kohl's ability to translate its operational improvements and cost-control efforts into stronger profitability.

Kohl's Valuation Remains AttractiveKSS is currently trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 13.07, slightly below the Retail – Regional Department Stores industry average of 13.26. This modest discount makes the stock look reasonably attractive, particularly as Kohl’s operational trends improve and earnings estimates move higher.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

How Should Investors Play KSS Stock Right Now?Kohl's has made solid progress in merchandising, proprietary-brand expansion, inventory optimization, expense control and balance sheet improvement. Investments in digital capabilities and customer-experience enhancements also support its longer-term recovery prospects. However, uneven consumer spending, intense competition and conservative guidance suggest that execution risks remain. The recent rally reflects improving confidence in management's strategy, while positive estimate revisions and a reasonable valuation add support.

For now, KSS appears to be a developing recovery story. Investors may want to watch for sustained revenue stabilization and consistent earnings execution before turning more constructive on the stock. KSS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Can Kohl's Accelerate Gross Margin Growth Through Proprietary Brands?
KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Kohl's proprietary brands posted a 6% comparable sales increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Kohl's gross margin expanded 4 basis points to 39.9%, helped by higher proprietary brand penetration. FLX, Tek Gear and So showed strength, with Juniors up 10% and FLX expanding to Kids by June. Kohl’s Corporation (KSS - Free Report) is sharpening its focus on proprietary brands as a core element of its value proposition, with the category supporting merchandise margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Proprietary brands delivered a 6% comparable sales increase in the quarter, supported by customer demand for value-oriented offerings across categories. Kohl’s positions these brands as quality products offered at affordable opening price points, making them an important part of its merchandise mix.

The strength was visible across several businesses. Women’s, Kids, Home and Accessories posted flat to slightly positive comparable sales trends, while key proprietary labels such as FLX and Tek Gear showed strength across categories. Juniors was a standout, rising 10%, led by the So brand. Kohl’s is also expanding its proprietary brand presence, including the rollout of FLX to Kids in all stores by June.

The higher contribution from these brands showed up in profitability metrics. Gross margin expanded 4 basis points year over year to 39.9% in the first quarter, driven by higher proprietary brand penetration. However, the benefit was largely offset by increased shipping costs tied to higher digital penetration.

The key takeaway is that proprietary brands are giving Kohl’s a clearer margin-supporting lever while reinforcing its value and quality positioning. The first-quarter gain was limited by shipping pressure, but the 6% comparable sales increase shows that these brands are gaining traction where Kohl’s is leaning hardest.

How Are Target and Walmart Driving Margin Expansion?Target Corporation (TGT) is benefiting from a favorable sales and revenue mix. In first-quarter 2026, TGT’s gross margin rate expanded 80 basis points year over year to 29%, driven by supply-chain productivity improvements, growth in higher-margin revenue streams such as Roundel and Target Plus, and lower markdown rates, partly offset by higher product costs.

Walmart Inc. (WMT) is pursuing margin expansion through business and merchandise mix improvements. WMT’s gross profit rate rose 6 basis points to 24.3% in first-quarter fiscal 2027, led by Walmart U.S. Within Walmart U.S., the gross profit increased 29 basis points, supported by improved business mix and merchandise mix, partly offset by higher fuel costs. Walmart also continues to scale higher-margin areas such as advertising, marketplace and membership.

KSS Stock Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Kohl’s have surged 114.1% over the past year compared with the industry’s growth of 69%.

Tractor Supply: The Market Got It Wrong Twice (Rating Upgrade)
TSC Tractor Supply
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Tractor Supply Co. is upgraded to buy as valuation compresses to 14x earnings despite only cyclical headwinds. TSCO's Q1 saw modest 3.6% revenue growth, with comp sales up just 0.5% and operating income down 6%, driven by external consumer pressures. Management views current challenges—fuel costs, pet market softness—as temporary, continues store expansion, and maintains positive long-term guidance.

Chewy vs. Tractor Supply: Which Consumer Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
TSC Tractor Supply
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The pet and rural lifestyle sectors have shown remarkable resilience in changing markets. Deciding between Chewy (CHWY +4.15%) and Tractor Supply (TSCO +0.51%) requires weighing digital convenience against physical dominance in your portfolio.

Chewy revolutionized pet ownership through its high-tech e-commerce platform and subscription-heavy model. Conversely, Tractor Supply serves the "life out here" crowd with essential hardware and farm supplies across thousands of stores. Both companies are expanding aggressively into pet health services, making them direct competitors in the lucrative animal care market.

The case for ChewyChewy operates in the competitive landscape of retail stocks by offering about 190,000 products through its website and apps. It recently expanded its pet healthcare ecosystem by acquiring Modern Animal, a technology-enabled veterinary provider. The company relies on its Autoship subscription program to drive customer retention and provide revenue visibility while partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for infrastructure.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $12.6 billion, representing growth of approximately 6.2% compared to the previous year. The company reported a net income of roughly $222.8 million for the period. This resulted in a net margin of close to 1.8%, which measures the percentage of revenue a company keeps as profit after all expenses.

As of its February 2026 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 1.1x while the current ratio was approximately 0.9x. These metrics compare total debt to shareholder equity and short-term assets to liabilities, respectively. Free cash flow reached nearly $562.4 million, but note that stock-based compensation represented roughly 43.1% of operating cash flow, which inflates reported cash generation since SBC is a non-cash expense added back in the cash flow statement.

The case for Tractor SupplyTractor Supply serves recreational farmers and ranchers through a network of 2,435 stores and a growing digital platform. The company recently acquired VIP Petcare and Allivet to integrate veterinary services and online pharmacy capabilities into its rural lifestyle ecosystem. These additions allow the company to offer a more comprehensive range of products and services to its pet-owning customer base.

In FY 2025, revenue reached close to $15.5 billion, a growth of roughly 4.3% over the prior year. The company generated a net income of approximately $1.1 billion during this period. This produced a net margin of about 7.1%, which indicates the percentage of revenue remaining after all operating and non-operating costs are paid.

As of the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 2.3x, representing total debt relative to shareholder equity. The current ratio was approximately 1.3x, which measures how easily the company can meet its short-term financial obligations. Free cash flow for the period was nearly $740.5 million, providing capital for further expansion or potential shareholder returns.

Risk profile comparisonChewy faces intense competition from e-commerce players like Amazon and traditional omnichannel retailers. The company must also manage complex federal and state regulations regarding its pharmacy and telehealth services. Furthermore, dependency on third-party technology providers creates risks for service outages that could impact its reputation and financial results.

Tractor Supply is sensitive to weather and climate events that can significantly alter demand for its seasonal agricultural products. The company relies on a global network of over 1,100 vendors, which presents risks if transportation delays or geopolitical tensions harm inventory availability and gross margins. Additionally, the company faces strategic integration risks as it incorporates new veterinary service businesses into its legacy retail operations.

Valuation comparisonTractor Supply trades at a lower forward P/E than the sector, while Chewy offers a lower P/S ratio relative to its revenue.

MetricChewyTractor SupplySector BenchmarkForward P/E23.1x14.3x28.6xP/S ratio0.6x1.0xSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLY sector ETF. Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

Pet owners know that both Chewy and Tractor Supply offer a wide range of products for their furry family members, but which stock belongs in a long-term portfolio? With Chewy, you’re largely betting on an industry disruptor that wants to bring the pet supplies market fully online, and then capture it. Unfortunately, it’s competing with arguably the best in the e-commerce game, in Amazon.

Tractor Supply targets a different approach, with its more than 2,000 stores across 49 states and products ranging from general pet supplies to agricultural products, tools, and equipment. It’s an established and essential business, but it also carries the risks of the agriculture market, including weather sensitivity and transportation network risks.

Both stocks have disappointed investors over the last five years, with Tractor Supply down nearly 10% since June 23, 2021, and Chewy dropping a whopping 78%. The last year paints a still ugly, but slightly different picture, with Chewy down about 60% and Tractor Supply losing 44% year over year. Clearly, both are facing operational and macroeconomic challenges, though at their current valuations, both may be strong contrarian buys. Despite its recent returns, I like Tractor Supply as a defensive option better than Chewy as a bet on industry disruption. It’s the only one of the two that pays a dividend and it seems to be a more defensive play with fewer industry competitors.
