CRDO benefits from higher interconnectivity/inference demand, multi-year data center capex trends, and diversified hyperscaler/neocloud exposure. This is on top of the accretive Dust Photonics acquisition and the new scale-up opportunities from FY2028 onwards, with it driving their multi-year growth prospects through copper/optical portfolios. CRDO already hints at high double-digits growth prospects in FY2027, significantly aided by the ramping up optical business, with a heavier weightage in second half.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) between January 28, 2026 and April 21, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 27, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Calix securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Calix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/calix-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 27, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Calix's first quarter margins had significantly benefited from advanced purchasing of memory components; (2) Calix's advanced supply of memory components was dwindling; (3) as a result, Calix was experiencing negative margin pressure as it was forced to purchase memory components at rising market prices; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Calix's margins, business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Calix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/calix-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Amdocs (DOX - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 9.5% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Amdocs due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Amdocs Limited before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Amdocs Q2 Earnings Surpass Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/YAmdocs reported better-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2026 results. DOX’s non-GAAP earnings of $1.78 per share came above the midpoint of management’s guidance of $1.73-$1.79 and remained flat on a year-over-year basis. The figure also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.77.

Amdocs’ fiscal second-quarter revenues of $1.172 billion topped the consensus mark of $1.167 billion and came above the midpoint of management’s guidance of $1.15-$1.19 billion. The top line increased 3.9% on a reported basis and 2.2% on a constant-currency basis.

Amdocs’ Q2 DetailsDOX reported growth in revenues across North America, Europe and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America reported revenues of $754.3 million (64.4% of the total revenues), which increased 2.2% year over year. Europe revenues (16.4% of the total revenues) of $191.8 million advanced 6.1% year over year.

RoW revenues (19.2% of the total revenues) increased 7.9% year over year to $225.8 million. Our model estimates for North America, Europe and RoW were pinned at $766.6 million, $204.3 million and $195.1 million, respectively.

Managed services revenues rose 1.6% year over year to $758.7 million. The company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2026 with a 12-month backlog of $4.28 billion, up $30 million sequentially. Our model estimates for managed services revenues and backlog were pegged at $767.3 million and $4.27 billion, respectively.

The non-GAAP operating income increased 5% year over year to $252 million, whereas the operating margin expanded 20 basis points to 21.5%.

DOX’s Balance Sheet & Cash FlowAmdocs had cash and cash equivalents of $214.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $247.9 million as of Dec. 31, 2025. Long-term debt was $647.2 million as of March 31, 2026, increasing marginally from the Dec. 31, 2025, level of $647 million.

In the fiscal second quarter, the company generated an operating cash flow of $101.6 million and a free cash flow of $80.3 million. During the quarter, it repurchased shares worth $138 million and paid out $57 million in dividends.

Amdocs Updates FY26 GuidanceFor fiscal 2026, DOX expects revenues to grow 2.6-4.6% compared with the earlier mentioned 1.5-5.5% rise.

The non-GAAP operating margin is anticipated to be 21.3-21.9% for fiscal 2026. Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to grow 5-7%, instead of the earlier stated 4-8% range.

The company expects the free cash flow between $710 million and $730 million.

Amdocs also initiated the guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. For the fiscal third quarter, the company expects revenues of $1.155-$1.195 billion.

Amdocs expects non-GAAP earnings per share between $1.81 and $1.87.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Amdocs has a subpar Growth Score of D, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Amdocs has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerAmdocs is part of the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry. Over the past month, CDW (CDW - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 26.4%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended March 2026 more than a month ago.

CDW reported revenues of $5.68 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +9.2%. EPS of $2.28 for the same period compares with $2.15 a year ago.

CDW is expected to post earnings of $2.77 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +6.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.5%.

The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for CDW. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of B.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum 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 A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

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.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Tenet Healthcare (THC - Free Report) Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Dallas, TX, Tenet Healthcare Corp., is an investor-owned health care services company, which owns and operates general hospitals and related health care facilities for urban and rural communities in numerous states, and has offices in California and Florida. The company has investments in other health care companies and is one of the largest investor-owned health care delivery systems in the United States.

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

It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 9.84; value investors should take notice.

Eight analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.42 to $17.61 per share. THC boasts an average earnings surprise of +20.6%.

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

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

The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

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 maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

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.

As of May 29, 2026.

The withdrawal deadline for the Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., Central European time (11:00 a.m., New York City time), on June 12, 2026 (the "Withdrawal Time"). As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn.

The Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Expiration and that are accepted for purchase on or about June 18, 2026 (the "Early Settlement Date"). Each holder of the Notes (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Expiration and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Premium (each as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from and including the last date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date on the Notes accepted for purchase. The Total Consideration for each series of Notes accepted for purchase will be determined at or around 4:00 p.m., Central European time (10:00 a.m., New York City time), on June 15, 2026 (the "Price Determination Date") in accordance with standard market practice and as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.

The Company will announce the Total Consideration for each series of Notes as soon as reasonably practicable after the Price Determination Date.

In connection with the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company is expected to consummate an offering of $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the "Financing Transaction"), consisting of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2031 and $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2034 on or about June 16, 2026. The Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Financing Transaction to pay the applicable consideration for all tendered Notes, plus accrued interest and all related fees and expenses.

As a result of receiving the requisite consents in the Consent Solicitation to adopt the Proposed Amendment, the Company, the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), will enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") giving effect to the Proposed Amendment. The Proposed Amendment will not become operative unless and until the Company purchases all 2027 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer. Upon becoming operative, the Proposed Amendment will apply to all Holders of the 2027 Notes.

The Company will continue to accept Notes tendered after the Early Tender Expiration. The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., Central European time (11:00 a.m., New York City time), on June 30, 2026, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Expiration and at or prior to the Expiration Time will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer Consideration. No tenders submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid. Payment for the Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time and that are accepted for purchase will be made on a date promptly following the Expiration Time, which is currently anticipated to be July 6, 2026, the third business day following the Expiration Time (the "Final Settlement Date").

What Happened?
On July 22, 2025, Badger Meter released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting below-consensus earnings, revenue growth decline, and margin deterioration. The Company also expected that “absolute sales [would] decline sequentially in the third quarter of 2025.”

On this news, Badger Meter’s stock price fell $40.42, or 16.5%, to close at $204.80 per share on July 22, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on January 28, 2026, Badger Meter released its fourth quarter 2025 financial results, revealing missed revenue expectations and a “6% sequential decline in utility water sales” due to “previously communicated project pacing effects.”

On this news, Badger Meter’s stock price fell $18.09, or 11%, to close at $146.32 per share on January 28, 2026.

Then, on April 17, 2026, Badger Meter released its first quarter 2026 results, disclosing that total sales were “9% lower than the prior year,” “[u]tility water sales declined 10% year-over-year,” “[o]perating earnings of $35.2 million, with an operating margin of 17.4%, compared to operating earnings of $49.4 million and an operating margin of 22.2% in the prior year,” and “[d]iluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.93, down from $1.30 in the first quarter of 2025.” The Company cited “project timing” and “softer short-cycle municipal customer ordering.”

On this news, Badger Meter’s stock price fell $36.75, or 24.1%, to close at $115.54 per share on April 17, 2026, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Badger Meter’s financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to the Company’s practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends; (2) this practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 3, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Badger Meter class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/badger-meter-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for Badger Meter's products, and its prospects for continued growth. During the Class Period, defendants told investors that Badger Meter's strong financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution." They likewise touted "strong" demand and said they were seeing "robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth," and that Badger Meter possessed a "long runway" for growth.

According to the lawsuit, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to Badger Meter's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results Badger Meter later reported. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Simmons First National Corporation maintains a soft buy rating due to strong profitability improvements and attractive valuation, despite some asset quality concerns. SFNC's net interest margin surged to 3.84%, with net profits more than doubling year-over-year, driven by balance sheet rebalancing and higher-yielding loan growth. The company trades at a forward P/E of 11.5, above the author's ideal but at a discount to book and tangible book value versus peers.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (GO - Free Report) . Shares have added about 22.8% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Grocery Outlet due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.

Grocery Outlet Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates Despite Weak CompsGrocery Outlet Holding Corp. reported first-quarter 2026 results, wherein the top and bottom lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. While net sales increased year over year, earnings declined from the year-ago period. Results reflected improving traffic trends and progress in restoring the company’s opportunistic product mix, though comparable-store sales remained soft amid continued pressure on customer basket sizes.

Adjusted EBITDA came in at the high end of management’s guidance range, and management reaffirmed the fiscal 2026 outlook despite ongoing margin and basket-size pressures.

GO’s Quarterly Performance: Key InsightsGrocery Outlet delivered adjusted earnings of 5 cents a share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 2 cents by 150%. The figure declined from adjusted earnings of 13 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.

Net sales increased 3.6% year over year to $1,166.4 million and edged past the consensus mark of $1,153 million by 1.2%. The increase was primarily driven by contributions from new store openings, partially offset by lower comparable-store sales.

Comparable-store sales declined 1% in the quarter compared to growth of 0.3% in the prior-year period. The drop stemmed from a 3.1% decrease in average transaction size, partly offset by a 2.1% increase in the number of transactions. Management noted that traffic trends improved sequentially throughout the quarter, with weekly traffic growth in March ranging between 2% and 5%.

Management highlighted meaningful progress in increasing the mix of opportunistic products, which rose by nearly 2 percentage points since the start of the year. Grocery Outlet stated that these higher-value branded deals continue to resonate strongly with customers and support traffic recovery.

GO’s Margin Profile Softens on Restructuring-Related HitsGross profit increased modestly to $345.2 million from $342.4 million in the year-ago quarter. However, gross margin contracted 80 basis points year over year to 29.6%. Management attributed 50 basis points of the decline to inventory markdowns and write-offs to store closures under the Optimization Plan, along with promotional investments aimed at driving traffic and restoring value perception, partly offset by improvements in inventory management.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 4.8% year over year to $347 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 40 basis points to 29.8%, primarily due to higher professional fees, commissions and growth-related expenses, partly offset by lower incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 16.9% year over year to $43.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 90 basis points to 3.7% of net sales.

The company posted an operating loss of $178 million, including a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $158 million and restructuring charges of $18.2 million related to store optimization actions. Net loss came in at $180.3 million, or $1.83 per share, compared with a net loss of $23.3 million, or 24 cents per share, in the prior-year quarter.

GO’s Store UpdateGrocery Outlet opened seven new stores and closed 28 stores during the quarter, including 27 closures related to its Optimization Plan, ending the period with 549 stores across 16 states.

Under the Optimization Plan, Grocery Outlet is closing 36 financially underperforming stores to improve long-term profitability, cash flow generation and store-fleet productivity. The company completed 27 of these closures during the first quarter and closed the remaining nine stores in April.

Management also continues to take a more disciplined approach to new store growth, focusing on stronger site selection, core markets and higher return thresholds. For fiscal 2026, Grocery Outlet continues to expect 30-33 net new store openings, excluding closures tied to the Optimization Plan.

Grocery Outlet’s Financial Health SnapshotGrocery Outlet ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $59 million compared with $69.6 million at fiscal 2025-end. Long-term debt totaled $474.3 million, while stockholders’ equity stood at $807.1 million.

The company generated $52.6 million in operating cash flow during the quarter compared with $58.9 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures, net of tenant improvement allowances, were $53.9 million.

Management reiterated that it expects fiscal 2026 capital expenditures of about $170 million, net of tenant improvement allowances.

Grocery Outlet Reaffirms Key Fiscal 2026 TargetsManagement reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 outlook, signaling confidence in the year’s execution priorities despite a choppy consumer environment. The company continues to expect net sales of $4.60-$4.72 billion, with comparable store sales ranging from flat to down 2%.

For profitability, Grocery Outlet still anticipates a gross margin of 29.7%-30% and adjusted EBITDA of $220-$235 million. The company also maintained adjusted earnings per share guidance of 45-55 cents a share.

For the second quarter, management expects comparable-store sales to decline between 1.5% and 2%, including an estimated 50-basis-point headwind from the Easter calendar shift. Gross margin is projected between 29.8% and 30%, while adjusted EBITDA is expected between $55 million and $58 million. Adjusted earnings per share are anticipated in the range of 11-13 cents.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.

The consensus estimate has shifted -23.61% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Grocery Outlet has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for this investment strategy.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Grocery Outlet has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerGrocery Outlet is part of the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry. Over the past month, Newell Brands (NWL - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 17%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended March 2026 more than a month ago.

Newell Brands reported revenues of $1.55 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -1.1%. EPS of -$0.05 for the same period compares with -$0.01 a year ago.

Newell Brands is expected to post earnings of $0.19 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -20.8%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +1.5%.

Newell Brands has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of D.

In a world where logistics chains are becoming more automated and complex, choosing the right exposure can define a portfolio. You may be deciding between C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW +1.38%) and GXO Logistics (GXO 0.22%) today.

C.H. Robinson is a global leader in third-party freight brokerage, focusing on connecting shippers with carriers without owning many trucks. GXO Logistics specializes in tech-heavy contract logistics, managing massive warehouse operations for major brands. While both serve the movement of goods, their business models and financial health differ significantly in 2026.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide operates as a specialized broker within the industrial stocks sector, matching freight loads with transportation capacity. It serves nearly 75,000 customers globally and relies on a massive network of carrier partners to move goods. No single customer accounts for more than approximately 2% of total revenue, which helps limit the impact if one partner leaves.

In FY 2025, the company reported revenue of nearly $16.2 billion, down roughly 8% from the previous year. Despite the lower top-line figure, net income reached approximately $587 million for the year. This resulted in a net margin improvement over the prior two fiscal years.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.9x. This metric shows the company's total debt relative to its shareholder equity. The current ratio is nearly 1.5x, indicating the company has enough assets to cover its debts due within one year. Free cash flow for the year was roughly $894.9 million, providing significant liquidity for operations.

The case for GXO LogisticsGXO Logistics focuses on contract logistics and supply chain optimization using advanced automation and AI. The company operates in 27 countries and manages nearly 869 locations across sectors such as e-commerce and omnichannel retail. Its top five customers combined account for roughly 20% of total revenue, while no single customer accounts for more than 6%.

During FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $13.2 billion, up nearly 12.5% from the prior year. However, the company reported a net income of only $32.0 million. This resulted in a net margin of roughly 0.2%, suggesting that higher operating costs or expansion expenses are currently weighing on the bottom line.

Based on the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 2.6x. The current ratio is roughly 0.8x, meaning the company has fewer liquid assets than liabilities due within the next twelve months. Free cash flow for the period was nearly $110,000, which is significantly lower than that of its brokerage-focused competitor.

Risk profile comparisonC.H. Robinson faces significant risks from technology and cybersecurity, as a failure to protect its operating systems could lead to customer losses. The company relies on third-party transportation providers and could suffer if these partners fail to fulfill obligations. It also faces intense competition from FedEx Corp (FDX +0.09%) and United Parcel Service Inc (UPS 0.62%), as well as new internet-based freight brokers that may push rates lower.

GXO Logistics faces risks associated with its rapid growth and the integration of large acquisitions. The company depends heavily on labor and faces potential costs from union organizing or rising wages. Because GXO often uses fixed-price contracts, it may struggle to pass on these costs to customers. It also competes against Amazon.com Inc (AMZN 1.24%) in the tech-driven warehousing space, where failure to innovate could harm its market position.

Valuation comparisonGXO Logistics appears cheaper based on its future earnings and sales estimates, though C.H. Robinson offers much higher profitability and cash flow generation.

Which stock would I buy in 2026?These companies sit in slightly different parts of the logistics industry. GXO Logistics provides a more tech-focused consulting and services business, including warehousing products for clients.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide is a broker of services, including truckload, less-than-truckload, and other carrier services, such as rail, ship, and air freight.

CHRW comes at a higher forward price-to-earnings multiple of more than 31, compared to 16.5 for GXO and 29.8 for the sector, but the premium comes from management utilizing AI to make its brokerage platform more efficient. C.H. Robinson is also working to earn shipper loyalty by providing no-fee cash advances to help manage rising fuel costs. The company is also more exposed to the less-than-truckload (LTL) market, which is finally seeing pricing power after what has been described as the industry’s longest bear market ever. A thriving market for any segment of its client base is good for a broker.

CHRW’s asset-light model is also a plus compared to GXO’s model. Logistics and shipping are cyclical businesses, and having non-fixed costs means C.H. Robinson Worldwide can pivot quickly to reduce its costs when the economic tide turns against it.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data for the most recent month-end is available above. Returns less than one year are cumulative. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may be only be acquired or redeemed from the fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

* The Distribution Rate is the annual yield an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed.

** The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period ended May 31, 2026, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period.

The Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield is not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from month to month and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease a fund's NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These distribution rates caused by unusually favorable market conditions may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future. Additional fund risks can be found below.

Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus. A prospectus may be obtained by clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Written Options Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of writing (selling) options (also referred to as a short position) if the price of the written option instrument increases in value between the date the Fund writes the option and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position. The Fund’s losses are potentially large in a written put transaction and potentially unlimited in a written call transaction. Because of the fund’s strategy of coupling written and purchased puts and call options with the same expiration date and different strike prices, the Fund expects that the maximum potential loss for the Fund for any given credit spread is equal to the difference between the strike prices minus any net premium received. Nonetheless, because up to 90% of the Fund’s portfolio may be subject to this risk – the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on and valued in relation to one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks, indices, or other reference obligations or measures of value. Major types of derivatives include options. Depending on how the Fund uses derivatives and the relationship between the market value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, the use of derivatives could increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to the risks of the underlying instrument. Using derivatives can have a leveraging effect if the Sub-Adviser is unable to set an appropriate spread between two options held by the Fund and increase Fund volatility. In that event, a small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Derivatives transactions can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value, and changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund may not correlate with the value of the underlying instrument or the Fund’s other investments. Many of the risks applicable to trading the instruments underlying derivatives are also applicable to derivatives trading. Financial reform laws have changed many aspects of financial regulation applicable to derivatives. Once implemented, new regulations, including margin, clearing, and trade execution requirements, may make derivatives more costly, may limit their availability, may present different risks or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of these instruments. The extent and impact of these regulations are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time.

Interest Rate Risk. Generally fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, with longer-term securities being more sensitive than shorter-term securities. For example, the price of a security with a one-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 1% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Generally, the longer the maturity and duration of a bond or fixed rate loan, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund’s income. These risks are greater during periods of rising inflation.

Leveraging Risk. Derivative instruments held by the Fund involve inherent leverage, whereby small cash deposits allow the Fund to hold contracts with greater face value, which may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. Adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in loss of an amount substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative. In addition, the use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy redemption obligations.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund will generally have up to 15 credit spreads at any given time, with up to 25% exposure to a single equity index credit spread. Investment in a limited number of equity indexes exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential losses than if its assets were diversified among a greater number of indexes.

Median 30 Day Spread is a calculation of Fund’s median bid-ask spread, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth, computed by: identifying the Fund’s national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days; dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer; and identifying the median of those values.

The S&P 500 Index, or Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, is a market-capitalization-weighted index of 500 leading publicly traded companies in the U.S. The index actually has 503 components because three of them have two share classes listed.

Key Takeaways SOFI's unaided brand awareness rose from 4.5% in 2022 to 10.0% in Q1 2026.SoFi expanded its member base from 5.2 million in 2022 to 14.7 million in Q1 2026.SOFI earned top rankings from Forbes' World's Best Banks list and J.D. Power's DIY Investing study. SoFi Technologies (SOFI - Free Report) continues strengthening its position as one of the most recognized names in digital finance, and the company’s rising brand awareness may be emerging as a powerful driver of its long-term growth story.

One metric that stands out is unaided brand awareness, which measures how often consumers think of a company without being prompted. SoFi’s unaided brand awareness has more than doubled over the past four years, rising from 4.5% in 2022 to 10.0% in the first quarter of 2026. This steady increase suggests the company is becoming increasingly embedded in consumers’ minds as a destination for banking, investing, borrowing and financial management.

The impact of that growing brand recognition appears visible in member growth. SoFi’s member base expanded from 5.2 million in 2022 to 14.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38%. As awareness rises, customer acquisition can become more efficient, creating a virtuous cycle in which stronger brand recognition attracts more users, who in turn further enhance the company’s market presence.

Recent industry recognition also reinforces SoFi’s growing reputation. The company earned the top ranking among U.S. banks in Forbes’ World’s Best Banks list and secured the number-one position in J.D. Power’s 2026 U.S. Investor Satisfaction Study for DIY Investing. Such accolades can further strengthen consumer trust and support future customer acquisition efforts.

For investors, SoFi’s expanding brand awareness may represent more than a marketing success. It highlights the company’s increasing relevance in financial services and suggests that brand strength is becoming an important competitive advantage capable of supporting sustained member growth and platform expansion.

Peer LensLendingClub (LC - Free Report) remains one of the more closely followed digital lending peers within the fintech industry. Like SoFi, LendingClub has focused on building a more diversified financial platform beyond traditional consumer lending. However, LendingClub continues facing greater exposure to credit cycle sensitivity and consumer loan demand fluctuations.

Upstart Holdings (UPST - Free Report) is another relevant competitor benefiting from technology-driven lending and financial automation trends. Similar to SoFi, Upstart uses artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure to improve the delivery of financial products and underwriting efficiency. Still, Upstart remains more heavily tied to loan origination cycles and macroeconomic credit conditions.

SOFI’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesThe stock has fallen 35% over the past six months compared with the industry’s 16% decline.

I keep hitting the buy button on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI | SOFI Price Prediction), and the Fed-driven tech sell-off this month has only made my finger heavier. The stock sits at $16.67, down 36.33% year to date, while the QQQ has gained 16.74% over the same window. That gap is the opportunity. The market is pricing SoFi like a bruised fintech. I am buying it like a national bank that happens to be quietly rewiring how 14.7 million people manage money.

My core thesis is simple. SoFi is becoming a financial services operating system, and the cross-sell data proves it. In Q1 2026, 43% of new products were opened by existing members, up from 36% a year earlier. CEO Anthony Noto said it bluntly on the call: “When other companies are stumbling, our revenue growth is accelerating.” I believe him because the numbers back the mouth.

Three reasons the conviction holds First, the earnings power is real and compounding. Q1 net income hit $166.73 million, up 134.45% year over year, on operating income growth of 150.12%. Adjusted EBITDA was $339.9 million at a 31% margin. Management is guiding 2026 to roughly $4.655 billion in adjusted net revenue and $0.60 in adjusted EPS, with a medium-term adjusted EPS CAGR of 38% to 42% through 2028. A forward P/E of 27x against that growth rate is the “dirt-cheap” part of the title.

Second, the deposit machine is funding everything. SoFi ended the quarter with $40.24 billion in deposits, funding over 90% of total liabilities, and drove cost of funds down 48 basis points year over year. That bank charter is the moat. It is why loan originations of $12.18 billion grew 68% without blowing up the balance sheet, and why tangible book value per share climbed to $7.21, up 57% year over year.

Third, the optionality is free. SoFiUSD is the first stablecoin accessible directly within a traditional, national bank application, now integrated with Mastercard for global settlement. The Loan Platform Business added $3.6 billion of new commitments with three new partners, including a leading global bank. None of that is in the analyst consensus target of $21. The CEO is buying his own stock: Noto picked up 31,423 shares in early May between $15.73 and $16.00.

The honest risk I am underwriting The Technology Platform segment is the wart. Revenue fell 27% year over year after a large client departed, and enabled accounts dropped 16%. Credit is drifting the wrong way, with the personal loan charge-off rate rising sequentially to 3.03% from 2.80%. I am sizing for it. Management still expects tech platform like-for-like growth of about 12%, and the personal loan book carries a weighted average FICO of 745 and weighted average income of $154,000. The borrower base is prime, the capital ratio sits at 21%, double the 10.5% regulatory minimum, and I would rather own that risk at $16 than at $26.

Why the buy button stays active Reddit went from a bullish 68 on May 29 to a bearish 22 the next morning. That kind of whiplash is exactly when long-term owners get paid. I will keep buying SoFi as long as members grow north of 30%, deposits keep funding the loan book, and Noto keeps shipping products faster than the market can price them. The Fed sets the weather. SoFi is building the house.

In the latest close session, Twilio (TWLO - Free Report) was down 1.23% at $204.08. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a gain of 0.5% for the day. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.31%.

The stock of company has risen by 4.33% in the past month, leading the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 0.42% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.23%.

The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Twilio in its upcoming release. On that day, Twilio is projected to report earnings of $1.31 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 10.08%. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $1.42 billion, indicating a 15.84% growth compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

In terms of the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates predict earnings of $5.63 per share and a revenue of $5.81 billion, indicating changes of +15.13% and +14.61%, respectively, from the former year.

Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Twilio. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the business operations and its ability to generate profits.

Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has remained steady. Twilio presently features a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Looking at valuation, Twilio is presently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 36.73. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 18.49, so one might conclude that Twilio is trading at a premium comparatively.

Also, we should mention that TWLO has a PEG ratio of 2.04. The PEG ratio bears resemblance to the frequently used P/E ratio, but this parameter also includes the company's expected earnings growth trajectory. Internet - Software stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 1.01 based on yesterday's closing prices.

The Internet - Software industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 85, putting it in the top 35% of all 250+ industries.

The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the strength of our separate industry groups by calculating the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks contained within the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.

In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.

However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.

Sterling Infrastructure (STRL - Free Report) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.

Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this civil construction company a great growth pick right now.

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Sterling Infrastructure is 45.9%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 66.8% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 15.6%.

Cash Flow GrowthCash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, high cash accumulation enables these companies to undertake new projects without raising expensive outside funds.

Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Sterling Infrastructure is 52.5%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -3.7%.

While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 38% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 11.4%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsBeyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Sterling Infrastructure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 1.4% over the past month.

Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Sterling Infrastructure a Zacks Rank #1 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination positions Sterling Infrastructure well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.

Momentum ScoreMomentum 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 want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: MasTec (MTZ - Free Report) MasTec, Inc. is a leading infrastructure construction company operating mainly throughout North America. The company engages in the engineering, building, installation, maintenance and upgrade of energy, communication, utility and other infrastructure.

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

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. MTZ has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 35.3% for the current fiscal year.

Nine analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.34 to $8.86 per share. MTZ also boasts an average earnings surprise of +15.4%.

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

Joby Aviation (JOBY 2.24%), a producer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on Aug. 11, 2021. Its stock opened at $10.62 per share, set a record high of $20.39 on Aug. 4, 2025, but now trades at about $9. It initially impressed investors with its progress toward commercial eVTOL flights, but its luster faded amid delays and regulatory challenges. Elevated interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, and other macro headwinds exacerbated that pressure.

With a market cap of $9.2 billion, Joby still looks expensive at 83 times this year's sales. However, I believe one catalyst could drive its stock much higher over the next five years.

Joby has plenty of irons in the fire Joby's S4 eVTOL can carry a single pilot and four passengers, travel up to 150 miles on a single charge, and reach a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. The S4 can travel faster and farther than its closest competitor, Archer Aviation's (ACHR 4.06%) Midnight eVTOL, because it uses tilt-rotor propellers that alternate between lifting and cruising modes. The Midnight is heavier because it uses separate propellers for lifting and cruising.

Joby has completed test flights in the U.A.E., South Korea, and Japan. It's already backed by big investors and customers, including Toyota (TM +0.00%), Delta Air Lines (DAL +1.50%), and Uber (UBER 1.01%). Toyota will help Joby mass-produce its eVTOLs, Delta will use the S4 as a "last mile" airport-to-home air taxi service, and Uber will integrate those flights into its app. It also holds a $131 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.

What's the big catalyst that will drive its stock higher? Joby has plenty of irons in the fire, but it can't ignite them with the government's approval. Joby expects the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fully approve its first commercial flights in the U.S. in late 2026. It also plans to launch its first air taxi flights in Dubai this year, even though the Middle East conflict might disrupt and delay those plans.

If the FAA finally clears Joby's S4 for commercial flights, its revenue could skyrocket over the next few years as its eVTOLs replace traditional helicopters. That's why analysts expect its revenue to surge from $53 million in 2025 to $458 million in 2028.

But that could just be the beginning. According to Eve Air Mobility's recent Global Market Outlook, there could be 30,000 eVTOLs in the air carrying three billion passengers globally by 2045. So even though Joby's stock looks expensive today, it could still soar a lot higher. Assuming it matches analysts' expectations through 2028, grows its revenue at a 30% CAGR through 2031, and trades at 30 times its current year's sales by the final year, its stock could more than triple over the next five years.

Joby and Archer both lost their luster over the past year. But both stocks could blast off once the FAA approves their first commercial flights.
