Two industrial companies, GE Vernova (GEV +0.39%) and Vertiv (VRT 3.95%), offer what artificial intelligence (AI) cannot function without: electricity and cooling. While the flashiest names in AI grab the headlines, the safer bet often sits a layer down. Neither stock is cheap; on any meaningful dip, however, these are industrial names worth considering.

GE Vernova: The electrons behind the AI boom GE Vernova was spun out of General Electric in 2024 and now builds machinery that moves electricity. One sector sells turbines and nuclear services that generate power, while another provides grid equipment that carries it to where it needs to go.

Over the last 52 weeks, as I write this, the stock has traded between $479 and $1,182. Over the same period, it has gained 93%, and it's up 619% since the company went public in 2024. Investors of all types have come around to the idea that AI lives or dies on power.
In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported revenue rising 16% to $9.34 billion, while net income jumped from $264 million to $4.75 billion from the same period a year earlier. These are amazing results and for the most part aren't repeatable as about $4.5 billion came from a one-time gain tied to the company's acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in Prolec GE, a grid equipment supplier. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to a range of $44.5 billion to $45.5 billion, signaling confidence in demand.
One of the clearest bull cases for GE Vernova is its grid business. Orders grew 86%, and the segment booked $2.4 billion in orders for data center equipment in a single quarter. These numbers topped all of fiscal 2025 combined, driven by factories and data center builders ramping up.
Vertiv: The crucial cooling layer Data centers generate tremendous heat, and cooling systems are becoming a bottleneck. Vertiv capitalizes on that by supplying power and thermal management tools that help keep high-density data centers running.
As chips run hotter, fans and traditional cooling systems may not be sufficient. Vertiv has worked closely with Nvidia to design cooling systems, and that partnership has become a competitive advantage. When a new Nvidia chip arrives, Vertiv is already involved.

The stock has traded between $110 and $380 over the last year, with the shares trading toward the upper end of the range now. Over the past 52 weeks, it has gained 165%, and over the past five years, it is up 1,061%.
In the company's first quarter of 2026, revenue climbed 30% to about $2.65 billion, while net income rose to about $390 million (from $164.5 million a year earlier). Profits are rising faster than sales, suggesting the business is becoming more efficient as it grows. For full-year 2026, management expects revenue of $13.5 billion to $14 billion, implying 29% to 31% year-over-year growth.
One notable catalyst is its work with Nvidia on the Vertiv OneCore Rubin DSX , a power-and-cooling infrastructure stack built around Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. It also serves as a blueprint that the company can replicate worldwide.
The risk, however, is that if hyperscalers slow data center spending, Vertiv will feel it more than most.
Which is a better buy? At today's prices -- GE Vernova trades at a price-to-earnings ratio around 29 while Vertiv's is around 78 -- neither stock looks like a bargain. Still, the business case is straightforward. AI runs around the clock, and it stalls without power and cooling. GE Vernova provides the power, while Vertiv provides key infrastructure to help keep systems from overheating. On a good pullback, adding to either position may be an easy call.
Key Takeaways MAC's Path Forward pairs leasing, anchor replacements, redevelopment and capital recycling.MAC expects new store leases to add about $116M in gross revenue and support NOI growth through 2028.MAC faces risks from tenant bankruptcies, e-commerce pressure and 7.76X net debt to EBITDA. The Macerich Company (MAC - Free Report) is leaning on premium mall quality to support steadier earnings growth. Its Path Forward plan combines leasing, anchor replacements, redevelopment, acquisitions and capital recycling.
The key question is whether those gains can keep offsetting tenant churn, e-commerce pressure, rent timing and elevated leverage.
MAC Builds on Premium Mall StrengthMacerich owns high-quality retail centers in dense U.S. markets, with a notable presence in California, the Pacific Northwest, Phoenix/Scottsdale and the Metro New York-to-Washington, D.C. corridor. Roughly 90% of its go-forward net operating income comes from Class A properties.
The operating base remains healthy. As of March 31, 2026, portfolio leased occupancy was 93.4%, while Go-Forward Portfolio Center leased occupancy was 94.5%. Tenant sales for spaces below 10,000 square feet reached $899 per square foot, with go-forward portfolio sales at $941.
Peers reinforce the broader retail real estate context. Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) owns premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, making it a key comparison for Class A mall demand. Tanger Inc. (SKT - Free Report) , focused on outlet and open-air retail centers, provides a different read on tenant appetite across value-oriented retail formats.
MAC Leasing Pipeline Drives Future NOIFor Macerich, the signed-not-open pipeline is central to the earnings bridge. New store leases are expected to produce roughly $116 million of incremental gross revenues at the company’s share compared with 2024 revenues from prior uses in those same spaces.
Management expects about 80% of that revenues to flow through to net operating income over time. The pipeline is more than a near-term leasing statistic; it is intended to support net operating income growth through 2028 as tenants open and begin paying rent.
Anchor replacement is another part of the same bridge. Macerich’s Path Forward plan targeted 30 anchor and big-box replacements, and all 30 are now committed. These locations total 2.9 million square feet and are expected to generate approximately $750 million in annual tenant sales.
MAC Uses Capital to Reset the PortfolioCapital recycling remains a major part of the portfolio reset. Under Path Forward, Macerich targets roughly $2 billion of total dispositions, with about $1.3 billion completed and another $300 million to $400 million expected by the end of 2026.
Outparcel and land sales are also contributing capital. The company completed $14.5 million of such sales in the first quarter of 2026, including a land parcel at Washington Square for $13 million.
The Annapolis Mall acquisition adds another Class A asset. Macerich acquired the mall for $260 million, plus $12 million for the adjacent 13.1-acre vacant Sears parcel, aiming to extend its platform in a strong East Coast trade area.
Key Risks Continue to Limit MAC’s UpsideThe upside case still carries execution risk. Tenant bankruptcies involving Express, Forever 21 and Claire’s are expected to continue to affect 2026 results, and future filings could disrupt occupancy, rent commencement and tenant allowance needs.
E-commerce remains a structural threat, even for better malls. Macerich’s focus on restaurants, experiential uses and higher-traffic anchors may help protect destination value, but some retail categories remain vulnerable to online migration.
Balance sheet risk also matters. Net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was 7.76X as of March 31, 2026. Property-level loan issues add uncertainty, including the Twenty Ninth Street loan, which was in default as of Feb. 6, 2026.
How MAC Signals Fit a Neutral SetupMacerich’s setup looks balanced. The portfolio quality, leasing pipeline and committed anchor replacements support a credible path to better net operating income, but the timing of rent conversion and leverage improvement still needs proof.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). This suggests a neutral near-term stance rather than a clear positive or negative signal. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Style Scores add caution. MAC has a VGM Score of D, with a Value Score of C, Growth Score of D and Momentum Score of D. Since stronger Style Scores generally point to better expected performance characteristics, these grades reinforce why investors may want clearer evidence of durable per-share growth before taking a more constructive view.
Key Takeaways MAC benefits from strong demand for Class A malls, with go-forward occupancy reaching 94.5%.MAC has committed all 30 anchor replacements, targeting $750 million in annual tenant sales.MAC added Annapolis Mall and a vacant Sears parcel, expanding redevelopment potential. The Macerich Company (MAC - Free Report) is benefiting from a clearer split in retail real estate: demand is concentrating in better malls, stronger trade areas and locations where tenants can support omnichannel strategies.
That trend gives Macerich a credible growth path, but not a frictionless one. Redevelopment, anchor reuse and selective acquisitions are improving the portfolio, while digital competition, tenant churn and leverage keep the stock story balanced.
MAC Benefits From Premium Space DemandMacerich’s strongest trend signal is tenant demand for premier mall space. Roughly 90% of its go-forward net operating income comes from Class A properties, and these assets sit in affluent trade areas where retailer demand is concentrated. As of March 31, 2026, portfolio leased occupancy was 93.4%, while Go-Forward Portfolio Center leased occupancy was 94.5%.
Sales productivity also supports the case. Tenant sales for spaces under 10,000 square feet reached $899 per square foot, while Go-Forward Portfolio sales were $941 per square foot. Those figures help explain why retailers are still committing to high-quality physical locations when traffic, merchandising and trade-area income support the store economics.
Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) offers a useful industry reference point because it also focuses on premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations. Tanger Inc. (SKT - Free Report) , an owner and operator of outlet and open-air retail shopping destinations, shows that demand for physical retail remains relevant beyond enclosed malls.
MAC Turns Empty Anchors Into New GrowthAnchor repositioning is not just a project list for Macerich. It is a structural response to older department-store boxes that need new uses, stronger traffic drivers and more productive surrounding tenancy.
The company has committed all 30 targeted anchor and big-box replacements under its Path Forward plan. These projects cover 2.9 million square feet and are expected to generate approximately $750 million in annual tenant sales, with six anchors open, 12 under construction, five executed and seven with leases out.
The strategy also supports in-line leasing. Signed-not-open leasing has increased to $116 million toward the company’s $140 million target, with about 80% of that revenue expected to flow through to net operating income over time.
MAC Uses Acquisitions to Extend GrowthMacerich’s acquisition strategy is selective rather than sprawling. Annapolis Mall, acquired in April 2026, added a Class A regional mall of roughly 1.5 million square feet, along with an adjacent 13.1-acre vacant Sears parcel.
The asset came with repositioning potential. Annapolis Mall had 353,000 square feet of new leases executed across 18 tenants before closing, giving Macerich a signed leasing base to convert into future growth.
Other projects reinforce the same theme. FlatIron Crossing, Green Acres Mall and Scottsdale Fashion Square involve redevelopment spending tied to higher-quality assets where new space, tenant upgrades and signed-not-open leasing can lift future net operating income.
MAC Still Faces Digital and Tenant PressuresThe bullish trend case still has structural offsets. Tenant bankruptcies remain disruptive, with 2026 results expected to be affected by Express, Forever 21 and Claire’s bankruptcies, along with any future tenant filings.
E-commerce also remains a long-term competitive pressure. Macerich’s push into restaurants, experiential uses and traffic-driving anchors can help defend destination value, but it does not remove the risk that some categories keep migrating online.
How MAC Ratings Frame the Trend StoryThe bottom line is that Macerich has several credible trend supports: premium-space demand, anchor reuse, redevelopment and selective acquisitions. The issue for investors is whether these trends can translate into steadier earnings visibility over the next several quarters.
MAC currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). This suggests that the positive operating setup is not yet a cleaner near-term stock call. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Style Scores add another layer of caution. Macerich has a VGM Score of D, with a Value Score of C, Growth Score of D and Momentum Score of D. Since stronger Style Scores generally point to better expected performance within the Zacks framework, these grades indicate investors may want firmer evidence that leasing progress and redevelopment gains can consistently improve value, growth and momentum.
A strong stock as of late has been Timken (TKR - Free Report) . Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 23.4% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $142.92 in the previous session. Timken has gained 65.4% since the start of the year compared to the 20.2% gain for the Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the 75.8% return for the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on May 6, 2026, Timken reported EPS of $1.67 versus consensus estimate of $1.5.
For the current fiscal year, Timken is expected to post earnings of $6.13 per share on $4.8 in revenues. This represents a 15.01% change in EPS on a 4.73% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $7.14 per share on $5.01 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 16.54% and 4.43%, respectively.
Valuation MetricsWhile Timken has moved to its 52-week high in the recent past, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Timken has a Value Score of C. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are C and A, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 22.7X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 30X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 16X versus its peer group's average of 21.4X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.67. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.
Zacks RankWe also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Timken currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to favorable earnings estimate revisions from covering analysts.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Timken meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Timken shares could still be poised for more gains ahead.

Key Takeaways UEC's fiscal Q3 call focused on Burke Hollow's start-up, weak output, higher costs and no revenues.UEC expects new wellfields at Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow to lift Q4 production and ease costs.UEC held $794M in liquid assets as of April 30 and plans to preserve inventory amid weaker pricing. Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC - Free Report) used its third-quarter call to press a longer-term growth case despite a weak reported quarter. Management’s message centered on new production coming online, a sizable liquidity cushion and a broader push to build a vertically integrated U.S. uranium fuel chain.
The quarter itself was pressured by lower output, higher unit costs and no revenues, producing a miss versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both EPS and sales. Even so, executives repeatedly steered investors toward what they see as a stronger fourth quarter and a deeper pipeline of permitted assets.
UEC Puts Burke Hollow at the CenterPresident and CEO Amir Adnani framed Burke Hollow as the quarter’s defining milestone. He said the South Texas project began production on April 8 and called it the largest greenfield in-situ recovery uranium project to enter production in the United States in more than a decade.
Management used that milestone to reinforce a broader scarcity argument. Adnani said Burke Hollow’s 14-year path from discovery to production underscores the strategic value of fully permitted uranium projects and strengthens UEC’s claim that its portfolio gives it a competitive advantage in a market where new domestic supply is hard to bring on.
The presentation added more operating detail, noting that the satellite ion-exchange plant was commissioned and phase 1A wellfield development continued, with additional wells completed and tested. Management said Burke Hollow should contribute to reported production in the fiscal fourth quarter after only a limited impact in the third quarter.
Uranium Energy Says Costs Should EaseThe main operational blemish was cost inflation tied to slower production. During the quarter, UEC produced 32,195 pounds of uranium concentrate at a total cost per pound of $54.61 and a cash cost per pound of $46.69 versus cumulative since-restart costs of $39.30 and $32.40, respectively, across 276,516 pounds.
Adnani and CFO Josephine Man both attributed the higher quarterly unit costs mainly to the timing of regulatory approvals for new header houses and the fixed-cost nature of the business. Their argument was that expenses tied to new production areas were incurred before associated pounds were fully reflected in quarterly output.
That explanation also framed management’s near-term outlook. Executives said new wellfields at Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow should lift production in the fourth quarter and bring total and cash costs per pound down from third-quarter levels.
UEC Leans on Its Wyoming Build-OutMuch of the call’s forward focus rested on Christensen Ranch and the surrounding Wyoming platform. UEC said it received approval for three additional header houses at the end of March, with five more under construction and another completed header house awaiting approval.
In Q&A, senior vice president of U.S. Operations Brent Berg gave a more detailed look at the ramp. He said production in the third quarter came largely from wellfields 8 and 10, while the new wellfield 11 header houses only began contributing near quarter-end, setting up a more visible increase in the fourth quarter.
Berg also highlighted the company’s operating build-out, saying the Wyoming and Texas workforce grew to 185 employees from 103 a year earlier, with more construction now handled internally rather than by contractors. That response suggested management sees execution capacity, not just resource depth, as part of the next growth phase.
Uranium Energy Expands the Fuel Cycle StoryAnother major theme was U.S. Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp., or URNC. Adnani cast the project as a response to a key Western fuel-cycle bottleneck and a way for UEC to become the only American vertically integrated uranium supplier spanning mining through conversion.
The company said it received a docket number from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, marking its first licensing milestone, and narrowed candidate locations to a final shortlist after discussions with the Department of Energy. The presentation said a formal license application will follow once engineering work with Fluor is completed and a site is chosen.
Analysts pushed on timing, and Adnani offered more specificity in the Q&A than in prepared remarks. He said the next major conversion study should now be a first-half 2027 event, while stressing that updates on siting, strategic partners, government discussions, and potential utility offtake could come earlier.
UEC Defends the Quarter in Analyst Q&AThe sharpest scrutiny centered on regulatory delays, production cadence and the equity book’s effect on earnings volatility. Asked whether the latest production weakness simply extended prior delays, Adnani said the approvals did come through, but too late in the quarter to help reported output materially.
On the income statement, Man said about $19 million of the quarter’s volatility came from changes in the fair value of equity securities. Management said it may increasingly emphasize adjusted EBITDA to help investors isolate underlying operations as the company develops a more regular sales cadence.
That context mattered because reported third-quarter results were soft. UEC posted an adjusted loss of $0.07 per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.05 by 40%. The company reported no revenues against the consensus estimate of $8.5 million, reflecting a negative surprise of 100%.
Uranium Energy Leaves a Long-Horizon MessageThe closing tone of the call was assertive, not defensive. Adnani repeatedly returned to three points: UEC’s large U.S. resource base, its expanding hub-and-spoke production system, and its debt-free balance sheet.
Liquid assets stood at $794 million on April 30, including $488 million of cash, while uranium inventory totaled about 1.4 million pounds of U3O8, excluding additional in-process material at Irigaray. Management said that the balance sheet supports its unhedged strategy and lets it preserve inventory rather than sell into weaker pricing conditions.
Zacks Signals Point to Weak Near-Term SetupUEC currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), which signals weaker near-term earnings estimate revision trends. That matters most in the Zacks framework, even when a stock has some favorable style characteristics. The company has a Value Score of F, Growth Score of F, Momentum Score of B and a VGM Score of F.
A stronger Style Score is most useful when paired with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), while stocks rated 4 or 5 (Strong Sell) are not considered attractive buys regardless of Style Score strength. That leaves UEC with limited support from the current score mix, though the Zacks Rank can change as estimate revisions move after the quarter.

Weatherford has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), while Archrock Inc. has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that WFRD likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than AROC has recently. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in.
Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their 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.
WFRD currently has a forward P/E ratio of 16.32, while AROC has a forward P/E of 18.61. We also note that WFRD has a PEG ratio of 0.90. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. AROC currently has a PEG ratio of 1.55.
Another notable valuation metric for WFRD is its P/B ratio of 4.09. 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, AROC has a P/B of 4.19.
These metrics, and several others, help WFRD earn a Value grade of B, while AROC has been given a Value grade of C.
WFRD stands above AROC thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that WFRD is the superior value option right now.
Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Toast (TOST - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Toast currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.68, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 31 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.68 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 31 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 20 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 64.5% and 3.2% of all recommendations.

The ABR suggests buying Toast, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near-term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Is TOST a Good Investment?In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Toast, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 1.8% over the past month to $1.35.
Analysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to soar in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for Toast. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, the Buy-equivalent ABR for Toast may serve as a useful guide for investors.
Micron Technology is a widely followed artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure stock, as it supplies a critical component in the form of memory chips that go into a variety of AI accelerator chips.
The company's revenue and earnings have been growing rapidly, driven by an acute shortage of memory chips. Micron is poised to release its fiscal 2026 third-quarter results on June 24, and there is a solid chance it will crush expectations and deliver terrific guidance that could send the stock soaring.
However, there's another underrated AI infrastructure company that's going to release its fiscal 2026 Q3 earnings report on June 17 -- Jabil (JBL 0.16%). This AI stock has jumped 60% in 2026, and there is a good chance it will get a nice shot in the arm following its upcoming report. Let's look at the reasons why.
Image source: Getty Images.
AI is accelerating Jabil's growth When Jabil released its fiscal Q2 results in March, the company reported a 23% year-over-year increase in revenue to $8.3 billion. For comparison, Jabil's revenue was flat in the same quarter last year. What's more, the company's earnings per share jumped by 38% year over year to $2.69 in fiscal Q2.

The company's revenue guidance for fiscal Q3 calls for $8.5 billion in revenue and $3.03 in earnings per share at the midpoint. That points toward a potential year-over-year increase of 9% in revenue and a 19% jump in earnings. However, Jabil could deliver stronger growth, as demand for its AI servers and racks is exceeding supply.
Jabil makes rack-scale servers, liquid-cooling systems, and power management solutions deployed in AI data centers. The company anticipates a 46% increase in its AI revenue this year to $13.1 billion, driven by red-hot demand for AI servers. In fact, Jabil increased its AI revenue outlook by $1 billion when it reported its results in March, and don't be surprised to see it do something similar once again.
I say this because Jabil management noted in its March earnings call that it is on track to add a third hyperscaler customer for its data center offerings. This could pave the way for a stronger-than-expected outlook, giving Jabil stock a nice boost following its quarterly report.
The stock's attractive valuation makes it a no-brainer buy Jabil stock trades at 52 times earnings following its impressive jump this year. However, the forward earnings multiple of 28 is significantly lower, suggesting that its earnings are poised to increase at a nice clip. We have already seen that Jabil's growth accelerated strongly last quarter, and this trend could continue in the long run, as the AI server market is anticipated to grow at an annual rate of 34% through 2030.
We have already seen Dell Technologies delivering phenomenal results recently due to booming AI server demand, and Jabil could follow suit. That's why investors can consider buying this AI infrastructure play before it steps on the gas.
Wall Street watches a company's quarterly report closely to understand as much as possible about its recent performance and what to expect going forward. Of course, one figure often stands out among the rest: earnings.
The earnings figure itself is key, of course, but a beat or miss on the bottom line can sometimes be just as, if not more, important. Therefore, investors should consider paying close attention to these earnings surprises, as a big beat can help a stock climb and vice versa.
Now that we know how important earnings and earnings surprises are, it's time to show investors how to take advantage of these events to boost their returns by utilizing the Zacks Earnings ESP filter.
The Zacks Earnings ESP, ExplainedThe Zacks Expected Surprise Prediction, or ESP, works by locking in on the most up-to-date analyst earnings revisions because they can be more accurate than estimates from weeks or even months before the actual release date. The thinking is pretty straightforward: analysts who provide earnings estimates closer to the report are likely to have more information.
The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction. The Zacks Rank is also factored into the ESP metric to better help find companies that appear poised to top their next bottom-line consensus estimate, which will hopefully help lift the stock price.
When we join a positive earnings ESP with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or stronger, stocks posted a positive bottom-line surprise 70% of the time. Plus, this system saw investors produce roughly 28% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Most stocks, about 60%, fall into the #3 (Hold) category, and they are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with a #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy) rating, or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market, with Strong Buy stocks outperforming more than any other rank.
Should You Consider Jabil?The last thing we will do today, now that we have a grasp on the ESP and how powerful of a tool it can be, is to quickly look at a qualifying stock. Jabil (JBL - Free Report) holds a #2 (Buy) at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $3.16 a share one day away from its upcoming earnings release on June 17, 2026.
Jabil's Earnings ESP sits at +1.12%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the $3.16 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.12. JBL is also part of a large group of stocks that boast a positive ESP. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
JBL is just one of a large group of Computer and Technology stocks with a positive ESP figure. BILL Holdings (BILL - Free Report) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider.
BILL Holdings is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on August 26, 2026. BILL's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.71 a share 71 days from its next earnings release.
For BILL Holdings, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.67 is +5.97%.
JBL and BILL's positive ESP figures tell us that both stocks have a good chance at beating analyst expectations in their next earnings report.

A strong stock as of late has been Jabil (JBL - Free Report) . Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 13.9% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $398.89 in the previous session. Jabil has gained 69.1% since the start of the year compared to the 20.2% move for the Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the 56.8% return for the Zacks Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on March 18, 2026, Jabil reported EPS of $2.69 versus consensus estimate of $2.54.
For the current fiscal year, Jabil is expected to post earnings of $12.36 per share on $34.02 in revenues. This represents a 26.77% change in EPS on a 14.15% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $14.69 per share on $37.26 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 18.85% and 9.53%, respectively.
Valuation MetricsThough Jabil has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for Jabil? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Jabil has a Value Score of C. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and A, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 31.2X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 33.6X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 24.9X versus its peer group's average of 31.2X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.67. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.
Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Jabil currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Jabil fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though Jabil shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.
How Does JBL Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of JBL have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Celestica, Inc. (CLS - Free Report) . CLS has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of C, a Growth Score of A, and a Momentum Score of D.
Earnings were strong last quarter. Celestica, Inc. beat our consensus estimate by 3.85%, and for the current fiscal year, CLS is expected to post earnings of $10.16 per share on revenue of $19.06 billion.
Shares of Celestica, Inc. have gained 17.7% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 39.72X and a P/CF of 56.28X.
The Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry is in the top 27% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for JBL and CLS, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The 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? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
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: Jabil (JBL - Free Report) Headquartered in St. Petersburg, FL, Jabil, Inc. is one of the largest global suppliers of electronic manufacturing services. The company offers electronics design, production, product management and after-market services to customers in the aerospace, automotive, computing, consumer, defense, industrial, instrumentation, medical, networking, peripherals, storage and telecommunications industries.
JBL is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. JBL has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 13.9% over the past four weeks.
Three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.06 to $12.36 per share. JBL also boasts an average earnings surprise of +7.9%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, JBL should be on investors' short list.
Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Jabil (JBL - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Jabil currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if JBL is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this electronics manufacturer holds up.
Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.
For JBL, shares are up 8.94% over the past week while the Zacks Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry is up 7.16% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 13.85% compares favorably with the industry's 13.97% performance as well.
Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Jabil have increased 44.83% over the past quarter, and have gained 113.27% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 14.27% and 27.78%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to JBL's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. JBL is currently averaging 1,079,343 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with JBL.
Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost JBL's consensus estimate, increasing from $12.30 to $12.36 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 4 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that JBL is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Jabil on your short list.
If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Jabil (JBL - Free Report) . This company, which is in the Zacks Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.
This electronics manufacturer has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 5.34%.
For the last reported quarter, Jabil came out with earnings of $2.69 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.54 per share, representing a surprise of 5.91%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $2.72 per share and it actually produced earnings of $2.85 per share, delivering a surprise of 4.78%.
Price and EPS Surprise
With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Jabil. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. 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.
Jabil has an Earnings ESP of +1.12% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on June 17, 2026.
When the Earnings ESP comes up negative, investors should note that this will reduce the predictive power of the metric. But, a negative value is not indicative of a stock's earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Key Takeaways Jabil and Adani Group plan a vertically integrated AI and data center manufacturing platform in India.JBL aims to expand AI rack manufacturing for hyperscalers deploying high-density AI workloads.Jabil trades below the industry's forward P/E, while 2026 earnings estimates stayed unchanged. Jabil, Inc. (JBL - Free Report) recently announced that it has formed a strategic collaboration with Adani Group in India. The partnership aims to establish a world-class, vertically integrated AI data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India. The focus is on manufacturing AI racks, and several supporting infrastructures are needed for AI data centers.
Jabil boasts strong expertise in engineering, manufacturing expertise, supply chain capabilities and hyperscale data center solutions. Combining this with Adani Group’s strength in Infrastructure, logistics and green energy assets and the rapidly expanding data center operations in India, is expected to give Jabil a competitive edge in the Asia Pacific region. The initiative targets a global market opportunity exceeding $3 trillion over the next seven years, driven by a rapid surge in AI-related investments by hyperscalers and large enterprises.
The AI racks will integrate AI GPU servers, CPUs, networking switches, storage, power distribution, liquid cooling, cabling and management hardware. Hyperscalers like Amazon, Google and Microsoft are deploying thousands of high-density racks to support AI workloads. By expanding its manufacturing capacity, Jabil aims to position itself as a reliable manufacturing partner for these hyperscalers.
How Are Competitors Faring?Jabil faces strong competition from Flex Ltd (FLEX - Free Report) and Sanmina Corporation (SANM - Free Report) in the AI infrastructure market. Sanmina is benefiting from rising demand for cloud and AI infrastructure programs, supported by its vertically integrated manufacturing model and broad global footprint. It is expanding its manufacturing footprint in Houston. The facilities will be used to develop leading-edge energy products supporting AI data centers. Sanmina’s Vertical integration helps control critical steps, shorten time to volume production and adjust production flows as program needs change.

Datadog (DDOG - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Shares of this data analytics and cloud monitoring company have returned +11.6% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +2.1% change. The Zacks Internet - Software industry, to which Datadog belongs, has gained 2.7% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Revisions to Earnings EstimatesHere 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.
Datadog is expected to post earnings of $0.57 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +23.9%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $2.39 points to a change of +16.6% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has remained unchanged.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $2.81 indicates a change of +17.8% from what Datadog is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.2%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for Datadog.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
In the case of Datadog, the consensus sales estimate of $1.08 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +30.2%. The $4.31 billion and $5.16 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +25.7% and +19.7%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryDatadog reported revenues of $1.01 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +32.2%. EPS of $0.6 for the same period compares with $0.46 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $956.88 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +5.18%. The EPS surprise was +20%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.
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.
Datadog is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium 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 Datadog. However, its Zacks Rank #2 does suggest that it may outperform the broader market in the near term.
As a launch partner for Rubrik Agent Cloud, Cognizant intends to be one of the first global systems integrators to operationalize the offering, embedding it as a governance layer within Cognizant Neuro® AI and AI Factory The aim is to give enterprises visibility into agent actions, real-time policy enforcement, and the ability to reverse unintended agent activity in defined scenarios , /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) announced an expanded strategic alliance with Rubrik to help enterprises run autonomous AI safely at scale. As a launch partner for Rubrik's Project Hourglass, an alliance with leading Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) to deliver agentic resilience for enterprise AI coding agents, Cognizant intends to be one of the first global systems integrators to operationalize the offering as a governance layer within its delivery platforms.
Enterprises are moving agentic AI from pilots into production, where AI agents increasingly write code, move data and act on systems with varying degrees of human oversight. In tandem, the challenge enterprises face is shifting away from building agents and towards governing them. The expanded alliance positions Cognizant's industrialized delivery platforms with Rubrik's ability to monitor agent actions, enforce policy and support reversal of an agent's actions when something goes wrong.
"Enterprises everywhere are working to operationalize AI, and many reach the same point of friction: they need greater visibility into what their agents are doing, and they need the ability to reverse course when an agent acts in error," said Sriram Kumaresan, Global Head of Cloud and Infrastructure Services, Cognizant. "By embedding Rubrik Agent Cloud into our Neuro® AI platform and AI Factory, we intend to give clients the confidence to let agents act, because agent actions can be seen, governed and, if necessary, reversed."
Cognizant and Rubrik collaborated on developing the implementation approach for Rubrik Agent Cloud within Cognizant's delivery ecosystem. Initial joint work focuses on regulated sectors, including healthcare, life sciences, financial services and insurance, where auditability and operational control are central requirements.
"With the increase in agents in the workforce, the biggest question enterprise leaders are asking is, 'how do we let AI agents write and deploy code without introducing significant new risk?'" said Alok Agrawal, Chief Solutions Officer, Rubrik. "We built Rubrik Agent Cloud to give organizations visibility into what their agents do, control over what they are allowed to do and undo what may have been done in error. Cognizant is among the first to put that control layer to work at enterprise scale."
The integration spans two layers of how Cognizant delivers AI. Within Cognizant Neuro® AI, Rubrik Agent Cloud is intended to govern the AI agents Cognizant manages on behalf of clients, tracking each action, scoping the potential impact of an agent-initiated change and designed to enable rollback when an agent executes an unintended action, aiming to support more resilient AI-driven IT operations.
Within Cognizant's AI Factory, the same control layer is designed to keep client AI agents inside defined guardrails by enforcing access and action policies, identifying when an agent operates outside approved boundaries and maintaining an auditable record of what each agent did and why, with controls aligned to recognized AI governance standards such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001.
Together, the two layers are intended to let enterprises move agents into production without giving up oversight. Agents act, every action is recorded and governed, and unintended actions can be reversed in defined scenarios.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ComEd, in partnership with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (Caucus), recognized nine communities that graduated from the 2026 EV Readiness Program during an award ceremony today in Northbrook, Illinois. The program supports municipalities as they prepare for the continued growth of electric vehicles (EVs) through improved local policies, permitting and first-responder readiness.
The ceremony was hosted at UL Solutions in Northbrook, a global safety science leader, offering testing, inspection and certification services, and brought together municipal leaders, sustainability staff and local officials from across the region to celebrate local progress and collaboration.
“The EV Readiness Program helps communities remove barriers to EV charging, improve safety and streamline local processes,” said ComEd President and CEO Gil Quiniones. “These graduating municipalities are leading the way in building the infrastructure needed to support a cleaner, more sustainable transportation future, that benefits local residents and supports progress towards the state of Illinois’ EV adoption goals.”
Launched in partnership with the Caucus in 2022, ComEd’s EV Readiness Program brings together municipalities across northern Illinois to learn and share best practices to prepare for increased electric vehicle adoption. Now on its fourth cohort of local governments, the program supports communities as they update zoning codes to remove barriers to EV charging, streamline permitting processes, strengthen community engagement, and train first responders. Communities also track key metrics, such as the number of EVs and local charging stations, to better plan for future demand — efforts that led several municipalities, including Northbrook, Downers Grove and Des Plaines, to earn Bronze EV Ready designation in 2026. Streamwood and Vernon Hills received a Silver EV Ready designation after earning bronze in 2025.
“Local governments play a critical role in preparing for increased EV adoption,” said Kevin Burns, Mayor, City of Geneva, Illinois and Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Environment and Energy Committee Chair. “The EV Readiness Program provides communities with the tools and guidance needed to support residents, businesses and long-term sustainability goals.”
As this work continues, EV adoption is expected to continue growing statewide, with about 171,000 EVs currently registered in Illinois and the vast majority of them driving in ComEd’s service territory. The state aims to reach one million electric vehicles on the road by 2030 under the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA).
“As Illinois continues to electrify transportation, we have an opportunity to build charging infrastructure that is smarter, faster and more accessible for communities across the state,” said Megha Lakhchaura, Illinois State Electric Vehicle Officer. “Through this partnership with ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, 45 communities have earned the EV Ready Community designation by strengthening policies, preparing for growing demand and accelerating the expansion of EV infrastructure statewide.”
This year’s graduating cohort spans communities across northeastern Illinois, including:
Burr RidgeDes PlainesDowners GroveGrayslakeNorthbrookPingree GroveStreamwoodVernon HillsWoodridge“Hosting this year’s EV Readiness graduation in Northbrook reflects our commitment to sustainability and collaboration,” said Kathryn Ciesla, Village President, Village of Northbrook. “Not only have we worked with the fourth cohort to earn EV Ready Community designation at the Bronze level, we have honored UL Solutions with the first Gold designation in the Village of Northbrook’s Green Business Program for its work to create a safer, more secure and sustainable world.”
In Downers Grove, collaboration with ComEd supported the installation of nearly 300 EV charging stations at an Amazon distribution facility after the company converted its delivery fleet to electric vehicles. The Village also strengthened its local framework by creating EV charger–specific permit types for single-family, multi-family and commercial properties.
“The EV Readiness Program provides a great opportunity for Downers Grove to collaborate with ComEd and regional partners to create a more sustainable future,” said Bob Barnett, Mayor of the Village of Downers Grove.
Des Plaines hosted the kickoff meeting for the fourth EV Readiness cohort and continues to play a key role in advancing regional EV infrastructure. A 40-bay BP Pulse charging hub opened in December, and the city has begun electrifying its municipal fleet with the addition of two electric vehicles.
“The EV Readiness Program has equipped us with the knowledge and tools to expand electric transportation across our city, supporting residents and businesses while driving investment and long-term sustainability,” said Andrew Goczkowski, Mayor of the City of Des Plaines. “We’re proud to be part of a cohort of municipalities working together to build a more sustainable and thriving region.”
The EV Readiness Program is just one component of ComEd’s continued investment in supporting the transition to electric transportation across northern Illinois. ComEd also offers free fleet electrification assessments to help public and private sector customers evaluate opportunities to transition vehicle fleets to electric, alongside EV incentive and rebate programs that support vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure deployment.
To date, ComEd has provided more than $200M in EV incentive and rebate funding to help residential, business and public sector customers deploy electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to more than 360 zip codes in Illinois. In alignment with the state’s goals, more than 81% of funding has been dedicated to equity investment eligible communities (EIEC) or low-income customers.

Esab (ESAB) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
Shares in Poolbeg Pharma PLC (AIM:POLB) rose 3% to 7.8p on Tuesday, taking their gain for the year to date to around 100%, after the drug developer secured a key European patent.
The European Patent Office has agreed to grant a patent covering POLB 001, Poolbeg's experimental treatment for preventing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a dangerous immune reaction triggered by some cancer immunotherapies.
Cavendish, which rates the shares a buy with a 19p target, called it the most commercially significant milestone yet in Poolbeg's CRS patent family.
The grant extends protection across European Patent Office member states, one of the most valuable pharmaceutical regions, and follows recent awards in Australia and Canada.
The claims cover the use of p38 MAPK inhibitors, including POLB 001, to prevent CRS.
Cavendish said the broadening patent estate strengthens Poolbeg's hand in any partnering talks, with robust protection across major markets a prerequisite for pharmaceutical engagement.
That matters as larger drugmakers hunt for differentiated assets to offset looming patent expiries, the broker added.
The timing is notable, with Poolbeg's TOPICAL trial moving towards interim data this summer.
That study is testing POLB 001 as a preventative therapy in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients treated with teclistamab, a bispecific antibody.
Site activation is complete and recruitment is underway, leaving the readout as a key near-term catalyst, according to Cavendish.
The broker sees a sizeable and growing market, as wider use of bispecific antibodies and CAR-T therapies pushes up the incidence of CRS.
Cavendish views POLB 001's mechanism as well aligned to that need, with payers and clinicians increasingly alert to the cost of CRS-related complications.

COLUMBIA, Md., June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, today announced extended continuous security control and validation capabilities within the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. With security control visibility and evidence-based, contextualized insights, Tenable One confirms which cyber exposures are truly accessible and exploitable for more precise prioritization and overall risk reduction.
Exploitability is highly dependent on the specifics of an organization's environment. Without continuous security validation, security teams lack a reliable way to distinguish true threats from false positives, leading to inefficient remediation efforts. This creates a critical prioritization and resource burden, where security teams are dedicating time to addressing potential risks that may already have active mitigations in place. As AI speeds up vulnerability discovery, the cost and potential impact of this imprecision continue to rise.
By weaving compensating security controls directly into the exposure prioritization process, Tenable One eliminates the noise from theoretical risks that are functionally blocked by existing defenses. The platform continuously validates security controls by cross-referencing threat intelligence and attack feasibility against the real-time defense status. This data is fed into Tenable Hexa AI—the platform's agentic engine—for streamlined, automated remediation.
“Our customers’ biggest challenge is knowing which exposures attackers can actually exploit and how to prioritize them,” said Eric Doerr, Chief Product Officer, Tenable. “With continuous security control validation, Tenable One now delivers visibility and context into customers’ unique security controls, further enhancing prioritization efforts. Our platform enables security teams to stop chasing theoretical risk and focus their resources on the true, exploitable threats to their business. CISOs gain confidence that their evidence-based exposure management strategy will protect against AI-powered attacks.”
Tenable One validation capabilities are now available to all Tenable One customers. More information on continuous security control and validation within Tenable One is available at: http://tenable.com/blog/ctem-exposure-management-validation
About Tenable
Tenable® is the exposure management company, exposing and closing the cybersecurity gaps that erode business value, reputation and trust. The company’s AI-powered exposure management platform radically unifies security visibility, insight and action across the attack surface, equipping modern organizations to protect against attacks from IT infrastructure to cloud environments to critical infrastructure and everywhere in between. By protecting enterprises from security exposure, Tenable reduces business risk for over 40,000 customers around the globe. Learn more at tenable.com.
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the expected capabilities, benefits, and performance of the continuous security control and validation capabilities within the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, Tenable Hexa AI, and the expected impact of these features on risk prioritization, remediation, and security posture. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including risks related to the development, adoption, and performance of new and unproven technologies (including agentic AI and automated remediation workflows), the potential that such technologies may not deliver their anticipated benefits or accurately prioritize risk, and other factors described under "Risk Factors" in Tenable's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

CRISPR Therapeutics AG (CRSP - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Over the past month, shares of this company have returned +8.3%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +2.1% change. During this period, the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, which CRISPR Therapeutics falls in, has gained 1.1%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
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.
CRISPR Therapeutics is expected to post a loss of $1.13 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +12.4%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -1.7%.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of -$4.89 points to a change of +24.4% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +4.3%.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.97 indicates a change of +18.9% from what CRISPR Therapeutics is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -9.4%.
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, CRISPR Therapeutics 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
Projected Revenue GrowthEven 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 CRISPR Therapeutics, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $7.42 million indicates a year-over-year change of +733.3%. For the current and next fiscal years, $28.88 million and $131.2 million estimates indicate +722.8% and +354.3% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryCRISPR Therapeutics reported revenues of $1.46 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +67.8%. EPS of -$1.28 for the same period compares with -$1.58 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.39 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -82.62%. The EPS surprise was -12.28%.
Over the last four quarters, CRISPR Therapeutics surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates 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.
CRISPR Therapeutics is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium 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 CRISPR Therapeutics. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Court orders Siemens to halt production and recall and destroy products across Germany, France and the Netherlands
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hologic, Inc. today announced a significant and far-reaching victory in the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Germany, which ruled that Siemens* infringed upon a critical Hologic mammography technology patent in Siemens’ latest mammography system. The court imposed a sweeping injunction, immediately prohibiting Siemens from making, offering, placing on the market, using or importing or storing for those purposes its MAMMOMAT B.brilliant systems across Germany, France and the Netherlands, as well as monetary damages and penalties for non-compliance. The court also required Siemens to execute a mandatory recall and destruction of all affected systems in those countries.
On June 10, 2026, the UPC determined that Siemens infringed upon European Patent EP 2 352 431, Hologic’s Focusing Technology on the Envision™ Platform, the first FDA-approved mammography innovation of its kind.1
In addition to the broad injunction against Siemens, recall and destruction of infringing systems, Hologic will receive retroactive and future damages and costs to be determined by the Court. Siemens must also refund customers of the infringing systems for the purchase price paid and reimburse them for logistics and related costs as part of the recall.
“This ruling is a decisive validation of the strength and originality of Hologic’s innovation —and, more importantly, of the standards we believe women deserve in breast cancer screening,” said Essex Mitchell, Chief Operating Officer at Hologic. “Our technologies are designed to help detect cancer earlier, improve diagnostic confidence and ultimately save lives. When other companies infringe on our patented inventions, it risks undermining the development of new and innovative products that give physicians the ability to deliver the care patients depend on. Hologic will continue to work to ensure clinicians have access to the most advanced, proven technologies and that women worldwide have access to the latest screening innovations.”

POCASSET, Mass., June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII), America’s largest military shipbuilder and a global leader in autonomous maritime systems, today announced the delivery of the first REMUS 130 unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to a U.S. ally, marking a major milestone for the next generation of the world’s most widely deployed autonomous underwater vehicle.
Building on more than 25 years of operational success, REMUS 130 is the latest addition to the REMUS family, which is trusted by the U.S. Navy, allied naval forces, government agencies, research institutions and commercial operators worldwide for critical undersea missions.
As the third generation of the highly successful REMUS 100 series, REMUS 130 combines the reliability, simplicity and mission effectiveness that have defined the REMUS brand with modernized electronics, open-architecture interfaces and enhanced payload flexibility.
“The delivery of the first REMUS 130 represents an important step in the continued evolution of the REMUS family,” said Duane Fotheringham, president of the Unmanned Systems group in HII’s Mission Technologies division. “For decades, customers have relied on REMUS vehicles for their durability, ease of operation and proven performance. REMUS 130 builds on that legacy with a highly capable, modular platform that delivers greater flexibility, interoperability and value while leveraging common architecture across the REMUS fleet.”
A photo accompanying this release is available at: https://www.hii.com/news/hii-delivers-first-of-the-newest-remus-variant-130.
Designed to meet growing demand for affordable and adaptable autonomous underwater systems, REMUS 130 features a compact, two-person-portable design, operates at depths of up to 100 meters and provides up to 10 hours of endurance. Field-swappable batteries further increase operational availability and mission readiness.
Built on the same technology foundation as the REMUS 300 and REMUS 620 platforms, REMUS 130 integrates HII’s proven Odyssey Autonomous Control System (ACS), advanced navigation, communications and processing capabilities, and modular interfaces that enable rapid integration of commercial, government and customer-developed payloads.
Odyssey ACS transforms underwater vehicles into intelligent robotic systems through an open-architecture design that supports evolving mission requirements while reducing lifecycle costs and technology risk. Currently deployed on REMUS platforms in more than 30 countries, Odyssey enables advanced capabilities including collaborative autonomy, sensor fusion and enhanced perception across a wide range of vehicles, sensors, payloads and mission profiles.

Huntington Ingalls Industries is indispensable to U.S. naval power, serving as the sole-source supplier of nuclear aircraft carriers and a key submarine partner. HII is undervalued due to recent CapEx for production capacity, but its $53B backlog and high barriers to entry provide long-term cash flow safety. The DCF base case shows limited upside, but relative valuation signals up to 152% potential, supporting a BUY rating despite conservative modeling.
AI infrastructure stocks Watts Water Technologies (WTS) and Solaris Energy Infrastructure (SEI) continue to benefit from the growth of data centers. WTS stock and SEI stock rose near buy points on Tuesday.
Watts Water Technologies makes plumbing systems, valves and drains for the construction industry. Solaris Energy Infrastructure supplies power generators, transformers, switches and breakers for oil and gas companies. It recently revealed a massive contract tied to data centers for an unnamed global technology company.
↑ X NOW PLAYING 'Firepower And Confidence': Jim Roppel On How To Ride The AI Wave As Market Jolt Hits Stocks
Powering and Cooling AI Data Centers Despite different end markets, the companies share a tailwind. Both provide solutions for the same bottleneck: the rapid scaling of the vast computer farms, called data centers, needed to power the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
Solaris' power generators provide "behind the meter" electricity to server racks. This allows data center operators to generate their own reliable electricity, without depending on the power grid.
Once powered up, the AI chips heat up. That's when Watts Water's flow control systems step in to help data centers run cool.
Both companies are taking a modular approach to help data centers scale more quickly.
AI Infrastructure Stocks Near Buy Points Shares of Watts Water Technologies popped 1.7% to 339 in Tuesday's stock market action. The move put WTS stock just 2% below a 345.17 first-stage consolidation buy point. The data center supplier formed the right side of the pattern after robust earnings in May. Shares are up 22% year to date.
Shares of Solaris Energy Infrastructure dipped 2.6% on Tuesday. SEI stock is working on an 81.24 buy point, still 2% below the entry, the MarketSurge charts shows. It consolidated after late-April earnings, and the stock has gained 66% this year.
The relative strength lines for both data-center suppliers are nearing new highs.
Solaris earnings per share grew 114% in the latest quarter and sales 55%, according to MarketSurge. Though robust, that was the slowest pace of sales growth since 2024. Along with earnings, the company reported signing a third long-term power contract, aiming to provide over 600 MW of power capacity to a leading tech firm.
Watts Water grew EPS 28% and sales 21% in the latest quarter. That marked the fourth straight quarter of accelerating sales growth.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana and its health care services business, CenterWell, announce the inaugural Resident Physician Scholarship Program recipients. In partnership with the National Hispanic Medical Association, the scholarship is designed to support seven bilingual (English/Spanish) internal medicine and family medicine residents in Florida. The program provides each winner with $10,000 for educational and professional development, a structured mentorship program from NHMA and CenterWell physician leaders, and experiential learning at CenterWell senior primary care centers.
A Growing Need for Bilingual Physicians
Bilingual physicians are vital to improving access to care, cultivating trust in the medical profession, and enhancing health outcomes in historically under-resourced communities. This scholarship addresses those barriers directly and builds a more prepared, confident and culturally responsive physician workforce ready to lead in senior primary care.
“Investing in bilingual physicians is one of the most meaningful ways we can improve the health of the communities we serve,” said Yeny Andrade, MD, Associate Medical Director, CenterWell Senior Primary Care. “When patients are able to express themselves more openly and share details they might otherwise hold back, that allows us to truly understand not just their medical concerns, but their lives. That connection builds trust, leads to better decisions, and ultimately better outcomes.”
NHMA‑supported research shows patients without care providers who speak their language are more likely to:
Experience medical errors and adverse events Report lower satisfaction and trust Miss follow‑up appointments Have lower medication adherence According to the NHMA only about 9% of U.S. physicians identify as Hispanic/Latino, a figure it says has remained largely unchanged since the 1970s, despite Hispanics making up nearly 19% of the U.S. population.
"NHMA deeply appreciates Humana and CenterWell’s support in launching this pioneering scholarship program focused on developing the next generation of bilingual primary care physicians serving our communities,” said Luis Isea Mercado, MD, FACP, a member of the NHMA Board of Directors. “Supporting the Latino physician pipeline means investing not only in education but also in mentorship, leadership development and long-term community impact.”
“In Florida, nearly 30% of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, yet Latino physicians remain underrepresented within the primary care workforce,” Dr. Mercado continued. “Programs like this help bridge that gap by empowering resident physicians who are committed to culturally humble, community-centered care.”

The Federal Reserve has a new chair, and Kevin Warsh’s first Federal Open Market Committee meeting at the helm gives investors their first real look at how he may steer interest-rate policy. Investors aren’t expecting any change in interest rates at this meeting, but will be looking for clues about the next directional decision.
In January 2026, investors believed multiple rate cuts were inevitable this year. However, the U.S. conflict with Iran has complicated those expectations. Inflation, which was already stubbornly above the Fed’s preferred 2% target, has started to climb, fueled by higher energy prices. Last month’s Jobs report came in hotter than expected.
Get JPMorgan Chase & Co. alerts:
Together, sticky inflation and a resilient labor market give the Federal Reserve less reason to cut rates quickly. The same data is also raising the possibility that rates may stay elevated longer, with another hike still on the table if inflation keeps rising. The CME FedWatch tool puts the odds of a September rate hike at around 25%. That increases to about 42% in December.
How Should Investors Think About the Federal Reserve?Most long-term investors shouldn’t build an entire strategy around a single Federal Reserve meeting. But understanding how inflation and employment shape rate policy can help investors identify stocks and sectors better suited to the current environment.
Warsh has expressed interest in changing how the Federal Reserve evaluates the economy and communicates policy. Investors shouldn’t expect any of those reforms to be part of this meeting, but they may get clues about how the Fed will operate going forward.
With the FedWatch tool suggesting interest rates could stay unchanged until at least September, summer may be a good time to look at stocks that tend to perform well in higher-rate environments.

JPMorgan Chase NYSE: JPM is as close to a direct beneficiary of rising rates as investors will find. When interest rates climb, banks earn more on the spread between what they pay depositors and what they charge borrowers. JPMorgan Chase is built to capture that spread at scale.
The bank reported $25.1 billion in net interest income in Q1 2026, up 7% year over year. Full-year 2026 net interest income is guided at approximately $104.5 billion. That number only gets better if the Fed raises interest rates.
Beyond traditional bank lending, JPMorgan Chase is the top-ranked firm in M&A advisory and equity underwriting as of Q1 2026. Its investment banking and trading operations give it multiple ways to generate revenue beyond lending alone.
If rate hike fears drive market volatility, JPMorgan Chase's trading desks tend to benefit from increased client activity. Q1 2026 saw record market revenue of $11.6 billion, alongside a 28% increase in investment banking fees. At around 15x earnings, JPM stock isn't cheap by historical standards, but it's earning that premium.

Not every rate-environment play requires betting on the next Fed decision. Enterprise Products Partners NYSE: EPD offers investors something more straightforward: a consistent, growing income stream backed by essential energy infrastructure.
Enterprise Products Partners operates one of the largest midstream pipeline networks in North America, moving natural gas, crude oil, and petrochemicals across the country. The company moves more than 12 million barrels of energy equivalents daily. That volume generates stable fee-based cash flow regardless of commodity prices — or what the Fed does next.
EPD has raised its dividend for 28 consecutive years. The current annualized dividend is $2.20 per share, yielding close to 6%. That yield looks increasingly attractive as investors recalibrate expectations away from rate cuts. In an environment where "higher for longer" is back on the table, a near-6% dividend from a financially disciplined infrastructure business is hard to ignore.

For years, Berkshire Hathaway NYSE: BRK.B and its massive cash pile drew criticism. Critics called it lazy capital. Today, with rates elevated and rate hike odds climbing, the company’s cash is generating meaningful returns. That gives Berkshire optionality that most companies can only dream about.
Berkshire's current cash balance sits at nearly $400 billion. The bulk of it is parked in short-term Treasury bills, which now yield enough to move the needle on Berkshire's balance sheet. Insurance underwriting profit and investment income have both benefited from higher interest rates and disciplined pricing.
There's also a competitive advantage angle. If rates rise and markets pull back, Berkshire’s business model lets it deploy that cash at better prices. Plus, higher interest rates generally benefit Berkshire's insurance float earnings, while its defensive characteristics make it a staple in conservative portfolios during market downturns. BRK.B won't chase the market higher, but in uncertain rate environments, that's exactly the point.

We can't say the energy sector has been boring lately. It's been in the news often, and that's thanks to headlines both positive (the revival of the nuclear industry, for one) and negative (conflict in the Middle East).
On balance, though, many of its companies are doing quite well these days, thank you very much. In fact, several actually pay investors to own them in the form of dividends. Here are two such stocks: NextEra Energy (NEE +0.13%) and Enterprise Products Partners (EPD 0.14%).
Image source: Getty Images.
1. NextEra Energy It's a good bet that the average American isn't aware of NextEra Energy, but they should be. The Florida-based company is on the way to becoming the largest electricity producer in the U.S., and one of the mightiest in the world. In May, it announced a splashy deal valued at $67 billion to acquire a peer, fellow industry incumbent Dominion Energy.
To be sure, this buyout won't close anytime soon. The utility industry is heavily regulated, as it directly affects a great many consumers and businesses, so the many approvals required to get the deal closed will take some time.
Nevertheless, when it does finally reach the finish line, it'll turn NextEra into the electricity company on the U.S. East Coast active in both traditional power generation and renewables. It also has a thriving business with large-scale battery storage, which is quite the up-and-coming segment in the market.
In terms of total operating capacity, NextEra's blend of traditional and green power generation leans heavily toward the latter, at around 63%. That makes for a good mix of a foundational, strongly regulated, but dependable business, and a commanding presence in the forms of generation that are only going to become more popular.
It also helps NextEra grow more sharply than many of its sector rivals. Over the past three years, annual revenue has climbed from $22.8 billion to $26.5 billion, which is impressive given how hard it can be to post meaningful growth in this industry. Profitability is a little more up and down but still robust, ranging from $6.8 billion to more than $7.3 billion over that stretch.

Although the capital expenditures needed to sustain and expand this business are considerable, NextEra's core operations generate significant operating cash flow. That, in turn, leaves plenty of room not only for the company's relatively high-yield dividend at 2.9%, but also for frequent increases to the same. In fact, the company's got a raise streak of 32 consecutive years.
Recent softness in NextEra's stock price indicates some investor worry that the payout might be under threat because of the monster price of the Dominion deal. To me, it's clear that management is well aware of the payout's appeal, and therefore will find a way to keep yield high and that raise streak alive.
2. Enterprise Products Partners Although Enterprise is also a large and prominent member of the energy sector, it's quite a different animal from NextEra. Instead of producing power, it is a "midstream" company, i.e., it specializes in the transportation of materials such as crude oil and the products refined from it, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.
It also isn't structured the same way. Rather than operating as a traditional company that's owned by shareholders, it is a master limited partnership (MLP). The main advantage is that MLPs typically pay much of their distributable cash flow (DCF) -- operating cash flow minus maintenance capital expenditures -- in the form of dividends (or "distributions," in MLP-speak).
That's why MLPs typically boast rather high-yield dividends. Enterprise's yield these days approaches 6%; in fact, it hasn't dipped below 5% in more than a decade.
In our current period of energy price volatility, Enterprise and other pipeline companies look particularly attractive, as their business model doesn't depend on how much such commodities cost. They charge by volume and, since it's always wise for oil companies and the like to secure long-term partners in the transport field, usually operate under long-term contracts.
This shakes out into a steady, largely predictable business with clients that have committed for years and have the capital to pay for the services. That's why "operational" DCF (i.e., headline DCF adjusted for asset sales and other one-offs) has been so high, even growing, for years -- $7.9 billion last year, trailed by just under that figure in 2024, and $7.5 billion for 2023.

In its first quarter of this year, Enterprise's operational DCF was over $2.1 billion. That provided plenty of cash to fund the generous dividend; in fact, it was nearly double the amount needed for the total payout to all of the MLP's unit holders.
Like NextEra, Enterprise is well positioned to capitalize on the dramatically higher energy input needs of data center buildouts for artificial intelligence (AI) technology. That's because the company can readily supply natural gas through that extensive pipeline network, a readily available and extremely reliable solution for the operators of such facilities.
It isn't easy to find a business with this kind of growth potential that also pays a high-yield dividend with plenty of room to grow. Enterprise is well worth a look for any income investor looking to earn some reliable passive income.
Arista Networks (ANET - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Shares of this cloud networking company have returned +19.3% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +2.1% change. The Zacks Internet - Software industry, to which Arista Networks belongs, has gained 2.7% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For the current quarter, Arista Networks is expected to post earnings of $0.89 per share, indicating a change of +21.9% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
The consensus earnings estimate of $3.63 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +21.8%. This estimate has changed -0.3% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.39 indicates a change of +20.8% from what Arista Networks is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.5%.
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, Arista Networks 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
Projected Revenue GrowthWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
In the case of Arista Networks, the consensus sales estimate of $2.82 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +28%. The $11.57 billion and $14.07 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +28.5% and +21.7%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryArista Networks reported revenues of $2.71 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +35.1%. EPS of $0.87 for the same period compares with $0.65 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.62 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +3.48%. The EPS surprise was +7.41%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time 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.
Arista Networks is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Bottom LineThe 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 Arista Networks. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.00% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through May 4, 2026. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Key Takeaways Ryder trades at a discount forward P/S ratio compared to its industry average, signaling a cheap valuation. Ryder benefits from cost-cutting initiatives and upbeat used vehicle sales. For 2026, Ryder expects adjusted EPS of $14.05 - $14.80 (prior view: $13.45-$14.45). Ryder System, Inc. (R - Free Report) looks cheap from a valuation standpoint. Considering the forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio (P/S-F12M), Ryder is trading at a discount compared to the industry.
The stock has a forward 12-month P/S-F12M of 0.79X compared with 2.35X for the industry over the past five years. These factors indicate that the stock’s valuation is attractive. Ryder has a Value Score of A.
Ryder P/S Ratio (Forward 12 Months) Vs. Industry Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Now, the question is whether it is worth buying, holding, or selling the Ryder stock at current prices. Let us delve deeper to find out.
Tailwinds Working in Favor of Ryder StockRyder is being well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. Upbeat used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bode well.
Ryder has been making uninterrupted dividend payments for more than 48 years. Ryder’s bottom line has been benefiting from its consistent efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. During 2022, Ryder paid dividends of $123 million and repurchased shares worth $557 million. In 2023, Ryder paid dividends of $128 million and repurchased shares worth $337 million. In 2024, Ryder returned $456 million in cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. During 2025, Ryder returned $664 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments. During first-quarter 2026, Ryder returned $272 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.
Such shareholder-friendly moves indicate the company’s commitment to creating value for shareholders and underline its confidence in its business. Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks, like Ryder, are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty like the current scenario.
Ryder's cost-cutting initiatives in response to the weak freight market conditions are also commendable. Higher free cash flow generation expectation (this reflects lower capital spending due to softer lease sales activity) for the full year is another added positive. Ryder generated $2.59 billion of cash from operating activities in 2025, higher than the $2.26 billion generated in 2024. For 2026, adjusted ROE (return on equity) is expected to be 17-18%. Net cash from operating activities is still projected to be $2.7 billion.
Ryder Stock’s Price PerformanceShares of Ryder have gained 43.5% over the past three months, outperforming the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry’s 9.7% increase, as well as that of other industry players, The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (GBX - Free Report) and Wabtec Corporation (WAB - Free Report) .

What Do Earnings Estimates Say for Ryder?The positive sentiment surrounding Ryder stock is evident from the fact that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter of 2026 and third quarter of 2026 earnings has been revised upward in the past 60 days. The consensus mark for 2026 and 2027 earnings has also been projected northward in the past 60 days.
The favorable estimate revisions indicate brokers’ confidence in the stock.

Time to Buy Ryder StockApart from being attractively valued, Ryder stock is being well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. An increase in used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bodes well. Initiatives to reward its shareholders through dividends and buybacks are praiseworthy as well.
We believe that the positives surrounding the stock (as highlighted throughout the write-up) outweigh the concerns regarding supply-chain disruptions and high fuel costs due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, tariff-induced economic uncertainties, risks associated with an economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions and a leveraged balance sheet. We, therefore, suggest investors add Ryder stock to their portfolios for healthy returns. The company’s Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) further supports our thesis.
