It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The 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.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
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 ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
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.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Ambarella (AMBA - Free Report) Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, Ambarella Inc. develops video compression and image processing semiconductors, which enables high-definition or HD video capture, share and display.
AMBA is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. AMBA has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 3.7% over the past four weeks.
Six analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.10 to $0.74 per share. AMBA boasts an average earnings surprise of +70.9%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, AMBA should be on investors' short list.
I am reiterating Ambarella as a Strong Buy, driven by its transformation into a full-stack edge AI platform company, not just a chip vendor. AMBA's edge AI SoCs now account for 80% of total revenue, with fiscal 2026 revenue reaching $390.7M, up 37.2% year-over-year. The market still values AMBA as a cyclical semiconductor stock, but I see it as an edge AI infrastructure enabler for physical AI and robotics.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company has provided in this release non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP gross margin, net income (loss), and earnings (losses) per share, as a supplement to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the company’s financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Further, the company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics that the company uses in making operating decisions and because the company believes that investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business and for comparison to other companies. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
With respect to its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, the company has provided below reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. With respect to the company’s expectations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Ambarella's Earnings Prove Its Edge AI Strategy Is a Winner“As a recognized edge AI leader, we are entering a new and significant phase for our market development with the execution of long-term customer agreements,” Wang said.
Quarterly Results and Outlook CFO John Young said fiscal first-quarter revenue was $100.4 million, slightly above the midpoint of the company’s prior guidance range of $97 million to $103 million. Revenue declined 0.5% sequentially and rose 16.9% from a year earlier.
5 Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Rise of Physical AINon-GAAP gross margin was 59.9%, also slightly above the midpoint of guidance, while non-GAAP operating expenses were $56.4 million, slightly below the midpoint of the company’s forecast. Ambarella reported non-GAAP net profit of $5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.
Young said automotive revenue rose at a strong double-digit rate sequentially, driven by commercial vehicles, while IoT revenue was seasonally lower. IoT represented about three-quarters of total revenue, Wang said, with enterprise security cameras growing in the high single digits sequentially, offset by a double-digit sequential decline in consumer IoT.
For the fiscal second quarter, Ambarella forecast revenue of $105 million to $111 million, with a midpoint of $108 million. Young said both automotive and IoT revenue are expected to increase sequentially, with growth in consumer and capital-expenditure-driven markets. The company expects non-GAAP gross margin of 59% to 60.5% and non-GAAP operating expenses of $56 million to $59 million.
Long-Term Agreements Take Center Stage A major focus of the call was Ambarella’s expanding use of long-term agreements, or LTAs, with customers. Wang said such agreements typically involve multi-year commitments around volume and pricing and may include standard products or semi-custom AI system-on-chips tailored to specific workloads.
Ambarella announced an LTA with Hanwha in South Korea covering the sourcing and co-development of Ambarella’s edge AI technology across Hanwha product lines and industries, including physical security, operational automation, life sciences, robotics and other industrial markets. Wang said the agreement has potential revenue exceeding $800 million over more than 10 years and is one of the largest agreements in Ambarella’s history.
In response to an analyst question, Wang said Ambarella has had a relationship with Hanwha for 15 years and expects to gain share through the new agreement. Louis Gerhardy, vice president of corporate development, described Hanwha as a major multinational conglomerate with more than $60 billion in annual revenue and said a key part of the relationship is expanding beyond the companies’ existing physical security business.
Wang also discussed a separate LTA involving Ambarella’s first 2-nanometer chip, a semi-custom edge AI SoC called CV8, which taped out in January. He said that chip will serve consumer and enterprise IoT endpoint markets and is expected to begin production in the first half of fiscal 2028.
Automotive and Telematics Revenue Hits Record Wang said Ambarella’s automotive revenue reached an all-time quarterly record in the first quarter and is on pace to set a fiscal-year record. He said growth was led by the emergence of AI in commercial vehicle telematics and automotive safety applications.
While third-party research firms expect global automotive production to decline 1% to 2% this year and automotive semiconductor market growth of 10% to 15%, Wang said Ambarella expects its automotive revenue to outpace those figures. In response to Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore, Wang said the company continues to expect full-year automotive growth of 10% to 15%.
Gerhardy said the telematics market includes about 100 million subscribers and is growing at roughly a 10% compound annual rate, citing third-party research firms. He said only about 15% to 20% of that base uses AI and AI video as an additional feature, creating an opportunity for more sophisticated AI workloads and higher chip demand.
Wang also highlighted customer activity in the quarter, including Lytx designing Ambarella’s CV75 and CV72 chips into multiple platforms. He also cited automotive safety design wins with South Korea-based Yura and a Western original equipment manufacturer in China.
Robotics, Edge Infrastructure and AI Platform Expansion Ambarella said it now has more than 15 robotics design wins, including aerial drones, with lifetime revenue exceeding $100 million, along with more than 30 customers in its robotics pipeline. Wang said the company’s chips are being used across applications including industrial automation, autonomous mobile robots and delivery robots.
Wang said robotics design wins are largely based on Ambarella’s CV product line, with most tied to 5-nanometer products, though some include 10-nanometer and 4-nanometer products. He said the company is focused on perception, sensor fusion and decision-making functions within robotic systems.
Ambarella also continues to build its edge infrastructure business. Wang said the company has customer engagements and design wins for its N1-655 edge AI SoC, with the first related products expected in the second half of the year. Gerhardy said current products address a serviceable available market of a couple hundred million dollars for applications such as AI vision boxes.
Wang said Ambarella has cumulatively shipped more than 46 million edge AI SoCs and has 12 edge AI SoCs available. He said the company’s software platform supports more than 200 AI model architectures that have reached production.
Balance Sheet, Inventory and Buybacks Ambarella ended the quarter with $277.8 million in cash and marketable securities, down $34.8 million from the prior quarter but up $18.4 million from the year-earlier period. Young said the sequential decline was primarily due to higher inventory levels to support new product cycles.
Days of inventory rose to 145 from 99 in the prior quarter. Management said the inventory build reflected efforts to better serve customers and protect against supply-chain constraints. Wang said the company had been informed that supply from “Senso” was getting tighter and that Ambarella viewed the inventory build as prudent.
The company repurchased 47,798 shares during the quarter for $2.4 million at an average price of $51.04 per share. Young said Ambarella’s board authorized a new $50 million repurchase program valid through June 30, 2027, replacing a program set to expire June 30, 2026.
Wang said Ambarella continues to expect its long-term gross margin model to remain in a range of 59% to 62% as its business mix evolves across automotive, IoT, robotics and edge AI infrastructure.

Key Takeaways Ambarella posted Q1 non-GAAP EPS of 11 cents on $100.4M revenues, up 16.9% year over year.AMBA said automotive revenues hit a record, led by telematics and safety demand in commercial vehicles.Ambarella's Hanwha deal could top $800M in revenues over 10 years. Also initiates a new $50M share buyback. Ambarella, Inc. (AMBA - Free Report) delivered non-GAAP earnings of 11 cents per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Quarterly earnings jumped 57% year over year, mainly driven by higher revenues and disciplined cost management.
First-quarter revenues soared 16.9% year over year to $100.4 million. The top line also came marginally ahead of the consensus mark of $100.2 million.
First-quarter performance reflected steady execution against guidance and a business mix supported by record automotive momentum and expanding customer engagements around edge AI. Non-GAAP gross margin was 59.9% in the period, providing a firm profitability baseline as new product cycles ramp up.
AMBA’s Revenue Mix Shows IoT Scale With Auto StrengthDuring the first-quarter earnings call, management stated that Internet of Things (IoT) applications represented about three-fourths of total revenues, with seasonality weighing on consumer IoT, while enterprise security camera demand grew at a high-single-digit sequential pace. This mix underscores Ambarella’s continued leverage to edge AI adoption in security endpoints, even as parts of consumer demand fluctuate.
Automotive, meanwhile, set a new quarterly revenue record, driven by strong double-digit growth tied to commercial vehicle telematics and safety applications. The company highlighted that AI penetration remains early in a large installed telematics base, supporting continued content gains as customers push toward more sensors and more complex on-device workloads.
Ambarella Leans on Edge AI Complexity and Platform DepthAmbarella framed the broader market backdrop as a shift from centralized AI training toward distributed inferencing, with more processing moving to the edge. During the earnings call, the company emphasized the benefits of edge AI, including reduced latency, lower power consumption and stronger privacy and security, positioning these attributes as structural tailwinds as workloads become more demanding.
A key strategic point was Ambarella’s focus on integrating accelerated computing functions into a single system-on-chip platform, rather than relying on a collection of discrete components. Management tied that integration to a widening set of use cases, including GenAI and agentic AI at the edge, where power efficiency and tightly coupled software tools can be decisive differentiators for customers building production deployments.
AMBA’s Long-Term Pacts Add Visibility and Scale PotentialA major development in the first quarter was the announcement of another material long-term agreement, this time with Hanwha in South Korea. The company stated during the earnings call that the agreement has the potential to generate more than $800 million in revenues over a period exceeding 10 years and extends beyond physical security into areas such as operational automation, life sciences and robotics.
Beyond the headline figure, management characterized long-term agreements as multi-generational commitments that can include structured volume and pricing over five years or more, improving revenue predictability and reducing volatility. The company also indicated that these partnerships can involve non-recurring engineering support to help fund platform development across silicon and software, aligning customer road maps with Ambarella’s broader product strategy.
Ambarella’s Profit Model Improves, GAAP Results Still RedOn a GAAP basis, gross margin was 58.4%, down from 60% in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin contracted 210 basis points to 59.9% in the first quarter.
However, Ambarella posted a GAAP net loss of $18.1 million, narrower than the year-ago quarter’s loss of $24.3 million. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported net profit of $5 million, 66.7% higher than the year-ago quarter’s net profit of $3 million.
Cost discipline was evident relative to guidance, with non-GAAP operating expenses coming in at $56.4 million, slightly below the midpoint of management’s guidance range of $55-$58 million. Management continues to view the company’s long-term gross margin model as 59% to 62%, suggesting confidence that product mix evolution and platform leverage can support margins even as the business expands into new edge AI categories.
Ambarella’s Cash Balance Declines on Inventory BuildAmbarella ended the first quarter with $277.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, down from $312.6 million at the end of the previous quarter as inventory levels increased to support multiple new product cycles. The company described the inventory build as a move to better service customers amid tightening supply dynamics, with days of inventory rising meaningfully during the period.
During the first quarter, Ambarella used $25.6 million in cash for operational activities and ended the quarter with a negative free cash flow of $29.6 million. It repurchased shares worth $2.4 million during the quarter.
Concurrent with the first-quarter results, Ambarella announced that management has approved a new share repurchase program worth $50 million. This new authorization extends through June 30, 2027 and will commence as soon as the company's existing repurchase program expires on June 30, 2026.
Ambarella Initiates Q2 GuidanceAMBA forecasts second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenues between $105 million and $111 million. It expects automotive and IoT revenues to increase sequentially, with growth in both consumer and CapEx-driven markets. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pinned at $108.3 million, indicating a year-over-year rise of 13.4%.
For the second quarter, the non-GAAP gross margin is anticipated in the range of 59-60.5%. Non-GAAP operating expenses are projected in the range of $56-$59 million.
The consensus mark for second-quarter non-GAAP earnings per share is pinned at 17 cents.
AMBA’s Zacks Rank and Stocks to ConsiderCurrently, Ambarella carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
FormFactor (FORM - Free Report) , ASE Technology (ASX - Free Report) and Diodes (DIOD - Free Report) are some better-ranked stocks that investors can consider in the Zacks Computer and Technology sector. FormFactor, ASE Technology and Diodes each sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FormFactor’s 2026 earnings has moved upward by 30.4% over the past seven days to $2.40 per share, calling for an increase of 84.6% year over year. FormFactor shares have climbed 133.5% year to date (YTD).
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ASE Technology’s full-year 2026 earnings is pegged at $1.05 per share, revised upward by 36.4 over the past 30 days and suggests a year-over-year jump of 84.2%. ASE Technology shares have soared 153.8% YTD.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Diodes’ 2026 earnings has been revised upward by 5.3% to $2.58 per share over the past 30 days. The consensus mark for earnings indicates a year-over-year increase of 111.5%. Diodes shares have surged 122.8% YTD.
Ambarella stock is showing notable weakness. What’s behind AMBA decline? Q1 Results Top EstimatesAmbarella reported earnings of 11 cents per share, edging past the 10 cent consensus estimate and improving sharply from the 7 cents it posted a year earlier. Revenue for the quarter came in at nearly $100.36 million, slightly above the approximately $100.14 million analysts were looking for and up nearly 17% from the same period last year. The company's official release from Santa Clara noted that total revenue for the quarter was $100.4 million.
On a non‑GAAP basis, gross margin was 59.9%, compared with 62% last year, and non‑GAAP net income reached $5 million, or 11 cents per share, up from $3 million and 7 cents per share a year earlier.
Ambarella ended the quarter with $277.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, down from $312.6 million in the prior quarter but above the $259.4 million it held at the same time last year.
CEO Fermi Wang said the company met its financial targets while continuing to strengthen its edge AI platform. He highlighted record automotive revenue driven by rapid adoption of AI in commercial vehicles and expressed confidence in the company's ability to support increasingly complex AI workloads with new products that carry higher average selling prices.
Q2 Guidance Pressures The StockDespite the solid first-quarter performance, the stock is under pressure because the company's second‑quarter revenue forecast did not meet expectations at the midpoint. Ambarella projected second-quarter sales between $105 million and $111 million, while analysts were looking for roughly $107.4 million.
The company also expects non‑GAAP gross margin to land between 59% and 60.5% and anticipates non‑GAAP operating expenses between $56 million and $59 million.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% 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.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Ambarella (AMBA - Free Report) Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, Ambarella Inc. develops video compression and image processing semiconductors, which enables high-definition or HD video capture, share and display.
AMBA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. AMBA has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 7% over the past four weeks.
One analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $0.75 per share. AMBA boasts an average earnings surprise of +52.1%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, AMBA should be on investors' short list.
MarketBeat Week in Review – 09/01 - 09/05Ambarella NASDAQ: AMBA Chief Executive Officer Fermi Wang said the company’s edge AI opportunity is built around a broad silicon roadmap and a mature software stack that can help customers move quickly from application development to products.
Speaking with BofA semiconductor analyst Vivek Arya at the BofA Global Technology Conference, Wang said Ambarella’s differentiation comes from designing chips “algorithm-first,” with the company optimizing silicon and software around embedded AI workloads rather than relying on more general-purpose architectures.
Get Ambarella alerts:
Ambarella's Earnings Prove Its Edge AI Strategy Is a Winner“We think about application,” Wang said, adding that Ambarella focuses on power efficiency, die size, performance and video quality for target edge AI use cases. He said the company’s approach allows it to compete with larger semiconductor companies in selected markets despite its smaller scale.
Automotive Expected to Reach Record Revenue This Year Wang said Ambarella expects automotive revenue to set a record this year, helped by growth outside the most-discussed autonomous driving applications. He pointed to commercial fleet opportunities, including telematics, fleet management, driver monitoring systems and related applications, as an increasingly solid growth engine.
5 Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Rise of Physical AIIn IoT, Wang identified robotics and drones as important opportunities, while cautioning that many robotics markets remain segmented and will take time to develop. In the nearer term, he said drones represent one of the largest robotics opportunities for Ambarella, particularly where products require perception, sensor fusion and decision-making capabilities similar to those used in autonomous driving.
Wang also highlighted what he called “edge infrastructure,” where customers aggregate feeds from multiple sensors or cameras into an appliance that can add generative AI capabilities without replacing existing equipment. He gave the example of a hotel using an appliance to process feeds from traditional cameras and enable AI functions across them.
Growth Outlook Tied to Edge AI Adoption Asked how investors should think about Ambarella’s growth over the next three to five years, Wang said data center AI growth rates of 30% to 50% should not be applied to edge AI markets. He said Ambarella’s served available market is currently growing at about 18%, while the company’s guidance for this year is 10% to 15% growth. Wang also noted that some analysts are modeling about 15% growth next year.
Wang said Ambarella should be able to grow faster than its served available market over time, but added that the market is still waiting for silicon, software, customer applications and AI models to come together to enable new categories of edge AI products.
He said performance per watt will be a key metric for generative AI applications at the edge, especially for battery-powered devices. Wang described customer requirements that include 8K video at 60 frames per second with AI processing within a roughly 4-watt system power envelope, saying Ambarella is among the few suppliers able to address such constraints.
Hanwha Agreement Seen as Strategic Opportunity Wang discussed Ambarella’s long-term agreement with Hanwha, describing the South Korean conglomerate as a diversified company with businesses including retail, banking, drones, robots and security cameras. He said Hanwha Vision, an Ambarella customer for about 15 years, evaluated AI solutions that could potentially be used more broadly across the Hanwha group.
Wang said Hanwha was looking for a product portfolio broad enough to address multiple opportunities and software mature enough to enable different applications quickly. He said those requirements aligned with Ambarella’s strengths.
In response to Arya’s reference to an $800 million opportunity over 10 years, Wang said Hanwha Vision currently represents a mid-single-digit percentage of Ambarella’s total revenue. He said Ambarella has less than 50% share of Hanwha Vision’s existing opportunity and could increase share, while newer chips could carry higher average selling prices.
Wang said the agreement could also help Ambarella support more applications across Hanwha by using Hanwha Vision’s camera products with different software and models. He said the company expects some positive revenue impact next year, though not an immediate step up to a much higher level.
Supply, Inventory and Margin Commentary Wang said Ambarella’s 10% to 15% growth outlook is not limited by the company’s own supply. However, he said memory market conditions remain a concern for customers, as DRAM remains available but has become “extremely expensive.” He said customers may eventually need to pass higher memory costs on to their own customers, creating uncertainty around demand and supply availability.
On inventory, Wang said recent increases reflect both supply tightness and preparation for customer ramps. He said Samsung informed Ambarella that foundry supply could be tight next year, especially on 4-nanometer and 5-nanometer process nodes, and asked for purchase order commitments to secure capacity.
Wang said Ambarella’s gross margin guidance remains within its long-term range of 59% to 62%, with the current quarter guided at 59.75%, the same as the prior two quarters. He said product mix is the largest driver of margin changes, while some parts of the supply chain have raised prices, though not yet enough for Ambarella to decide to pass costs through to customers.
CV8, Drones and Software Platform Wang said Ambarella’s first 2-nanometer chip, called CV8, taped out in January and is expected back in the company’s office within weeks. He said the company’s plan is for the chip to be ready for potential customer production in the second quarter of next year, subject to testing and customer readiness. He also said CV7, the company’s first 4-nanometer chip, is expected to ramp next year.
On drones, Wang said U.S. restrictions on some Chinese drone manufacturers have not yet translated into a major volume shift, partly because many drones already in the market have existing approvals. However, he said the changes should help U.S. suppliers over time. Ambarella has discussed 15 robotics design wins, including several drone wins, with a cumulative revenue pipeline of about $100 million, he said.
Wang also emphasized Ambarella’s Cooper Developer Platform, which he said took five years to develop and is used by nearly all of the company’s customers. He said the software supports about 200 model architectures and makes it easier for customers to move software across Ambarella chips with different performance levels. Wang said the platform is also important as Ambarella expands through indirect sales channels, including software partners, distributors and system integrators.

Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.44 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.43 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +8.28%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products would post earnings of $0.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.43, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Gentex, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, posted revenues of $675.44 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.36%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $576.77 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Gentex shares have lost about 1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.8%.
What's Next for Gentex?While Gentex has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Gentex was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.49 on $663.59 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.92 on $2.64 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Original Equipment is currently in the bottom 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. 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.
One other stock from the same industry, Allison Transmission (ALSN - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 4.
This automatic transmission maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +13.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Allison Transmission's revenues are expected to be $1.38 billion, up 79.7% from the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter ended March 2026, Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) reported revenue of $675.44 million, up 17.1% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.48, compared to $0.43 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $647.23 million, representing a surprise of +4.36%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +8.28%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.44.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Gentex's focus on innovation and integration into essential vehicle and building systems supports its competitive positioning and consistent financial performance.
What this transaction means for investorsNorth Point Portfolio Managers’ sale of Gentex catches my eye for a number of reasons. First, the firm has held its Gentex position since 2010 and has numerous holdings that are decades old. They like to think over the very long term. I’d argue that this fact alone makes Gentex’s liquidation noteworthy, as it is a somewhat rare move for them. However, we don’t know the firm’s reasoning, so shareholders shouldn’t overreact.
Second, the sale was a full liquidation. Gentex went from a 1.3% position in the portfolio to gone, so this wasn’t a gradual unwinding. While it had been selling a few thousand shares each quarter over the last few years as Gentex stock declined from $35 to $25, its final 324,273-share sale was massive in comparison.
Lastly, Gentex just reported earnings this morning, and they looked excellent. GNTX shares are up 6% after sales rose 17% in Q1 and the company guided for 11% revenue growth in 2026. While most of this growth is tied to its recent acquisition of VOXX, it nonetheless suggests the two companies are finally integrating better.
While North Point’s sale could stem from the VOXX acquisition risk, longer-term threats to mirrors being replaced in new high-tech cars, or simply a lack of sales growth over the last decade, Gentex trades near a decade-long low valuation. Trading at just 12 times forward earnings, with a 2% dividend yield, no debt, and a history of buying back 3% of its shares outstanding annually over the last decade, Gentex looks like a discounted steady-Eddie stock for contrarian investors to consider, but it likely won’t be a 10-bagger anytime soon.

Key Takeaways GNTX Q1 EPS of 48 cents beat estimates; revenue rose 17% to $675.4M, driven by VOXX and product mix.Gentex saw strong demand for advanced features, offset by lower vehicle output; China sales fell on tariffs.GNTX raised its 2026 revenue outlook to between $2.65 billion and $2.75 billion on strong results. Gentex Corporation (GNTX - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 48 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents by 8.28%. The figure increased 11.6% from 43 cents a year ago.
Net sales were $675 million, which topped the consensus mark of $647 million by 4.36%. Revenues rose 17.1% from $577 million in the year-ago quarter, aided by contributions from VOXX and a richer mix of advanced features.
GNTX’s Core Growth Driven by Advanced Feature StrengthIn the first quarter of 2026, Gentex earned $586.8 million from its core business (excluding VOXX), while VOXX contributed $88.6 million. Strong demand for its advanced features across different regions helped offset the slowdown in global vehicle production.
During the quarter, revenues in North America rose about 6% from last year, even though vehicle production in the region declined 2%. Growth was supported by higher shipments of Full Display Mirrors. In Europe, Japan and Korea, results improved due to a better product mix, supported by the ramp-up of an in-cabin monitoring system and continued demand for Full Display Mirrors.
In China, revenues were approximately $28 million, down 29% from the previous quarter, primarily due to tariffs and counter-tariff impacts.
Gentex Breaks Out Sales Mix and Unit Shipment TrendsIn the first quarter of 2026, Gentex Automotive reported sales of $566.2 million, up slightly from $563.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales increased modestly despite lower vehicle production and reduced basic mirror shipments, supported by a favorable product mix and new technology launches.
Total auto-dimming mirror shipments declined 6% year over year to 10.85 million units. North American mirror units were up 1% to 3.67 million, while international mirror units fell 9% to 7.18 million.
In the Other category, net sales rose to $20.6 million from $12.9 million, driven by higher aircraft window sales and gains in fire protection and biometrics. VOXX contributed $88.6 million, and the acquired business has now become profitable as integration progresses.
GNTX Margins Improve, Though Tariffs Pressure CostsIn the first quarter of 2026, total gross margin improved to 33.8% from 33.2% in the year-ago quarter, while core Gentex gross margin rose 80 basis points to 34%. The increase was mainly driven by better efficiency and a favorable product mix, partially offset by tariff costs and higher raw material prices.
Operating expenses totaled $105 million, mainly due to the VOXX acquisition and $2.8 million in impairment charges. The operating income totaled $123.7 million.
The company reported a total other loss of $5.6 million compared with other income of $0.6 million in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to lower investment income, impairment charges and credit loss reserves tied to certain technology investments and loans. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 16.6%.
Gentex Highlights Capital Returns and Balance SheetGentex repurchased 3.3 million shares during the first quarter for $71.6 million at an average price of $22.01 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the company had approximately 32.6 million shares remaining under its repurchase authorization.

GNTX Raises 2026 Revenue Outlook, Updates 2027 TargetBased on updated vehicle production forecasts and strong first-quarter results, Gentex raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $2.65-$2.75 billion from the previous estimate of $2.6-$2.7 billion.
The company has maintained its gross margin guidance at 34-35% and reiterated operating expense expectations (excluding one-time costs) of $410-$420 million. It continues to expect a tax rate of 16-18% and capital spending of $125-$140 million.
For 2027, Gentex expects revenues in the range of $2.8-$2.9 billion compared with the previous guidance of $2.75-$2.85 billion. The outlook is based on current tariff assumptions as of April 24, 2026, and includes ongoing cost pressures from materials such as precious metals, petroleum-based products and memory components.
The Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate IEEPA tariffs has not been reflected in any potential refunds. About $15 million of tariff-related costs were included in inventory as of March 31, 2026.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The 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 also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors 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 ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% 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.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

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.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook.

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, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Momentum investors should take note of this Auto-Tires-Trucks stock. GNTX has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 6.5% over the past four weeks.
For fiscal 2026, three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.03 to $1.96 per share. GNTX boasts an average earnings surprise of +6.1%.

The market expects Dynatrace (DT - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 13, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis software intellegence company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.2%.
Revenues are expected to be $520.64 million, up 17% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Dynatrace?For Dynatrace, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.23%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Dynatrace will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Dynatrace would post earnings of $0.41 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.44, delivering a surprise of +7.32%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Dynatrace appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Company positioned closest to the center of the Radar, underscoring its ability to deliver AI‑driven, full‑stack Kubernetes observability and automated operations at enterprise scale
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynatrace (NYSE: DT), the leading AI-powered observability platform, today announced it has been named a Leader and an Outperformer and positioned closest to the center of the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Observability.
As Kubernetes adoption accelerates and generative AI workloads scale in production, organizations face growing complexity across multi-cloud, hybrid, and edge architectures. Dynatrace’s leadership in the GigaOm Radar recognizes Dynatrace as one of the most complete platforms in the market, underscoring its ability to help teams understand complex Kubernetes environments with advanced automation and AI‑driven insights.
“Kubernetes has become the foundation of modern enterprise infrastructure, and the organizations running it at scale need observability that is intelligent, automated, and deeply integrated into their engineering workflows,” said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer at Dynatrace. “This recognition reflects the trust customers place in Dynatrace to give them the insights they need to build and run their most critical cloud‑native system. By unifying observability and security with agentic AI, we are enabling teams to prevent issues, accelerate innovation, and continuously optimize their environments.”
GigaOm evaluated 20 of the top Kubernetes observability solutions, assessing vendors across key features, emerging capabilities, and business criteria that reflect real-world enterprise requirements. Dynatrace received the top score for Key Features, including automated root cause analysis, predictive analytics, log anomaly detection, and user experience monitoring.
According to GigaOm’s Chris Nelson, the author of the report, “Kubernetes observability has evolved from a supporting monitoring function into a strategic capability that directly impacts business resilience, innovation velocity, and financial performance. Dynatrace Intelligence is the industry standard for deterministic root cause analysis, providing precise answers rather than simple correlations. By mapping the entire topology of a Kubernetes environment, Dynatrace Intelligence can pinpoint the exact service or infrastructure component for an issue, eliminating the need for manual war rooms.”

The upcoming report from Dynatrace (DT - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share, indicating an increase of 18.2% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $520.64 million, representing an increase of 17% year over year.
Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.
Prior to a company's earnings announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight.
Bearing this in mind, let's now explore the average estimates of specific Dynatrace metrics that are commonly monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts.
According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Revenues- Services' should come in at $24.72 million. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +14.5%.
Analysts forecast 'Revenues- Subscriptions' to reach $495.94 million. The estimate points to a change of +17.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Analysts expect 'Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)- Total' to come in at $2.06 billion. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported $1.73 billion in the same quarter of the previous year.

Shares of Dynatrace have experienced a change of +19.4% in the past month compared to the +11% move of the Zacks S&P 500 composite. With a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), DT is expected to mirror the overall market performance in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Investors with an interest in Computers - IT Services stocks have likely encountered both TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) and Dynatrace (DT - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.
TD SYNNEX and Dynatrace are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that SNX is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
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.
SNX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 14.52, while DT has a forward P/E of 21.26. We also note that SNX has a PEG ratio of 0.99. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. DT currently has a PEG ratio of 1.38.
Another notable valuation metric for SNX is its P/B ratio of 2.19. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, DT has a P/B of 4.46.
Based on these metrics and many more, SNX holds a Value grade of A, while DT has a Value grade of D.
SNX stands above DT thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that SNX is the superior value option right now.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G, including non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin. We also use or discuss non-GAAP financial measures in conference calls, slide presentations and webcasts.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making purposes, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons and liquidity. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to similarly titled metrics provided by other companies.
Non-GAAP financial measures are defined in this press release and the tables included in this press release include reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.
We also include non-GAAP financial measures in our financial outlook included in this press release. Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, and free cash flow guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of share-based compensation expense, employer taxes and tax deductions specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by future hiring, turnover and retention needs, as well as unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Definitions - Non-GAAP and Other Metrics
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is defined as the daily revenue of all subscription agreements that are actively generating revenue as of the last day of the reporting period multiplied by 365. We exclude from our calculation of ARR any revenues derived from month-to-month agreements and/or product usage overage billings.
Constant Currency amounts for ARR, Total revenue, and Subscription revenue are presented to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the average exchange rates from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in the last fiscal year.
Non-GAAP Income from Operations is defined as GAAP income from operations adjusted for the following items: share-based compensation; employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions; amortization of intangibles; transaction, restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items that may arise from time to time. The related Non-GAAP Operating Margin is non-GAAP income from operations expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
Non-GAAP Net Income is defined as GAAP net income adjusted for the following items: income tax expense/benefit; non-GAAP effective cash taxes; net interest expense and income; net cash received from and paid for interest; share-based compensation; employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, amortization of intangibles; gains and losses on currency translation; and transaction, restructuring and other non-recurring or unusual items that may arise from time to time. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to compute GAAP net income per diluted share.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures, reflected as purchase of property and equipment and capitalized software additions in our financial statements. The related margin is free cash flow expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

What's Next for Dynatrace?While Dynatrace has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Dynatrace DT is experiencing a significant decline in its stock price following the release of its Q4 earnings report and guidance for FY27. Although the company reported results that exceeded expectations, the market reaction has been negative. Key highlights include:
Q4 Performance: Adjusted EPS rose to $0.41, beating estimates by $0.02, while revenue increased by 19.4% year-over-year to $531.7 million. FY27 Guidance: The company provided EPS and revenue forecasts above consensus, anticipating an ARR growth of 15.5-16.5%. Enterprise Momentum: Dynatrace achieved a record 22 deals exceeding $1 million in annual contract value (ACV), including nine new-logo seven-figure contracts. Management noted a rising demand for observability vendor consolidation as AI workloads complicate infrastructure. ARR Stability: ARR growth remained steady at 16% for the fourth consecutive quarter, with over 75% of ARR now coming from DPS adoption. Gross retention rates stayed in the mid-90% range, while net revenue retention (NRR) held at 110%. AI Adoption: The trend of AI adoption is strengthening, with over 850 customers using Dynatrace for monitoring AI and large language model (LLM) workloads, and more than 500 utilizing agentic AI capabilities. Log management consumption surged over 100% year-over-year, exceeding $100 million in annualized consumption. Profitability: The company reported a FY26 operating margin of 29% and generated free cash flow of $529 million, representing 26% of revenue. Additionally, Dynatrace repurchased $479 million of its stock during FY26. Market Reaction: Despite the strong FY27 guidance, investors may have anticipated a more pronounced ARR acceleration, especially in light of management's optimistic commentary on AI. DT also foresees a temporary gross margin headwind due to increased cloud hosting costs associated with higher platform consumption.In summary, Dynatrace DT has showcased operational strength, highlighted by impressive earnings, substantial enterprise deal activity, and a surge in AI adoption. However, the stock's decline reflects investor concerns regarding the pace of ARR growth and net expansion trends. Nevertheless, DT continues to position itself as a crucial player in the observability and AI operations market, with innovations like Grail and Davis AI potentially driving long-term growth.
