Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

After reaching an important support level, Adecoagro (AGRO) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. AGRO surpassed resistance at the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Key Takeaways Geopolitical tensions and fragile ceasefire keep markets volatile and focused on earnings fundamentals.Stocks were screened for earnings yield above 10%, liquidity, $5 prices and EPS growth versus the S&P 500. AVT, AR, NVGS, NEXA and AGRO boast solid growth forecasts, backed by rising EPS estimates. Markets are navigating a tricky mix of cautious optimism and lingering geopolitical risk. A three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been announced. The pause in fighting, involving Iran-backed Hezbollah, offers a temporary break in hostilities. That said, the situation is far from resolved. Key issues—ranging from Iran’s nuclear ambitions to control over the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz—remain unsettled. The conflict has also spilled into maritime tensions, with both sides seizing commercial vessels, turning the region into a fragile naval standoff. This keeps global energy routes and supply chains on edge.

Markets remain highly sensitive to headlines from the region.At the same time, investors are trying to shift focus back to fundamentals, particularly corporate earnings. But geopolitical developments continue to interrupt that narrative, driving volatility.

In this uncertain environment, value investing offers a disciplined way to navigate volatility. Value investing means buying stocks that are priced below what they are really worth. It works on the idea that markets often misprice stocks, giving investors a chance to buy low and profit later.

Investors can consider value stocks like Avnet, Inc. (AVT - Free Report) , Antero Resources Corporation (AR - Free Report) , Navigator Holdings Ltd. (NVGS - Free Report) , Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA - Free Report) and Adecoagro S.A. (AGRO - Free Report) that have high earnings yield.

Unlock Value With Earnings Yield MetricA simple tool that value investors use is earnings yield. It shows how much profit a company makes for each dollar of its stock price. Earnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as (Annual Earnings per Share/Market Price) x 100. It is the reverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. A high earnings yield may mean the stock is undervalued. A low yield could mean the stock is too expensive.

Investors can also use earnings yield to compare stocks with bond returns like the 10-year Treasury yield. If the stock market's earnings yield is higher than the bond yield, stocks might be more attractive. With regard to this, earnings yield can be more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio, as the former facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities.

Setting the Right FiltersWe have set an Earnings Yield greater than 10% as our primary screening criterion but it alone cannot be used for picking stocks that have the potential to generate solid returns. So, we have added the following parameters to the screen:

Estimated EPS growth for the next 12 months greater than or equal to the S&P 500: This metric compares the 12-month forward EPS estimate with the 12-month actual EPS.

Average Daily Volume (20 Day) greater than or equal to 100,000: High trading volume implies that a stock has adequate liquidity.

Current Price greater than or equal to $5.

Buy-Rated Stocks: Stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have been known to outperform peers in any type of market environment. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Antero Resources is an independent explorer, primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil resources in the Appalachian Basin.

EPS estimates for the current year have moved up by 27 cents over the past seven days. Antero Resources currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of A.

Navigator Holdings provides international seaborne transportation and regional distribution services of liquefied petroleum gas, petrochemical gases and ammonia for energy companies, industrial users and commodity traders.

The Consumer Staples group has plenty of great stocks, but investors should always be looking for companies that are outperforming their peers. Has Adecoagro (AGRO - Free Report) been one of those stocks this year? A quick glance at the company's year-to-date performance in comparison to the rest of the Consumer Staples sector should help us answer this question.

Adecoagro is one of 172 companies in the Consumer Staples group. The Consumer Staples group currently sits at #15 within the Zacks Sector Rank. The Zacks Sector Rank gauges the strength of our 16 individual sector groups by measuring the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups.

The Zacks Rank emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find stocks with improving earnings outlooks. This system has a long record of success, and these stocks tend to be on track to beat the market over the next one to three months. Adecoagro is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AGRO's full-year earnings has moved 16.9% higher within the past quarter. This shows that analyst sentiment has improved and the company's earnings outlook is stronger.

Our latest available data shows that AGRO has returned about 68.6% since the start of the calendar year. In comparison, Consumer Staples companies have returned an average of 6.2%. This means that Adecoagro is performing better than its sector in terms of year-to-date returns.

Another stock in the Consumer Staples sector, Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) , has outperformed the sector so far this year. The stock's year-to-date return is 15.9%.

For Tyson Foods, the consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 5.6% over the past three months. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Looking more specifically, Adecoagro belongs to the Agriculture - Operations industry, a group that includes 11 individual stocks and currently sits at #160 in the Zacks Industry Rank. This group has gained an average of 19.7% so far this year, so AGRO is performing better in this area.

Tyson Foods, however, belongs to the Food - Meat Products industry. Currently, this 5-stock industry is ranked #210. The industry has moved +1.7% so far this year.

Adecoagro and Tyson Foods could continue their solid performance, so investors interested in Consumer Staples stocks should continue to pay close attention to these stocks.

After losing some value lately, a hammer chart pattern has been formed for Adecoagro (AGRO), indicating that the stock has found support. This, combined with an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions, could lead to a trend reversal for the stock in the near term.

Back to Newsroom

Best Buy Co.,  Inc. NYSE: BBY just delivered an earnings report for Q1 of its fiscal year 2027 that was exactly what the bulls had been waiting for. One of the most encouraging signs was that comparable sales were up 2%, ahead of guidance.  That may sound modest, but context matters. Best Buy had been running negative comps for the better part of two years, so positive territory is genuinely significant.

Digging into the category mix, the largest contributors on a weighted basis were gaming, computing, and mobile phones, with services adding support.

Get Best Buy alerts:

Appliances were the notable drag, down 13.6% on a comparable basis, which tracks with the ongoing housing market freeze keeping renovation and move-related purchases depressed.

Adjusted EPS was up 11% to $1.28. BBY reacted accordingly, surging approximately 15% on the day to close at $74.84. After years of grinding revenue declines, this is a meaningful data point.

The question worth sitting with is whether it marks an inflection, or whether investors are front-running a story that still has plenty of ways to disappoint.

AI PCs and Gaming Powered the Q1 Earnings BeatThe computing and gaming strength is where the AI narrative starts to look real. Computing and mobile phones now make up 47% of domestic revenue, and that category grew 4.2% on a comparable basis. Gaming was the single biggest driver, benefiting from what management described as a "very successful gaming launch" in the prior June period that they'll be lapping in Q2. But the computing strength is the more durable signal here, and it ties directly to the AI PC thesis that's been circulating for over a year.

The margin picture was also encouraging. Domestic gross profit rate expanded to 23.7% from 23.5%, driven by growth in Best Buy Ads and Marketplace. These are the newer profit stream initiatives the company has been building out, and they're starting to move the needle. Adjusted SG&A actually held flat as a percentage of revenue at 19.3%, which means the operating leverage is real—not just top-line driven.

Is the AI Laptop Upgrade Cycle Just Beginning?The AI PC refresh cycle has been the central bull thesis for Best Buy for the better part of 18 months. The logic is straightforward: Microsoft's Copilot+ requirements, combined with a massive installed base of aging laptops (many purchased during the 2020–2021 pandemic surge), create a natural upgrade wave.

Best Buy, as the dominant brick-and-mortar electronics retailer, stands to be the primary physical destination for those purchases. This is particularly true given that consumers tend to want to touch and compare laptops before buying.

The Q1 results offer some validation of that thesis. A 4.2% comp in computing is good. But the real question is whether the cycle is in its early innings or whether a portion of the upgrade demand has already been pulled forward?

Given that management maintained rather than raised full-year guidance—revenue of $41.2 to $42.1 billion, comparable sales of -1.0% to +1.0%—they're clearly not extrapolating the Q1 beat into the rest of the year. That's either prudent conservatism or a signal that the back half looks murkier than the front.

The tariff environment adds another layer of uncertainty. Best Buy sells a lot of hardware manufactured in Asia, and while tariff impacts weren't a major topic in the earnings release, the risk sits squarely in the background for any consumer electronics retailer. If tariffs drive price increases on laptops and TVs, unit volumes could soften even if average selling prices hold up.

The CEO Transition Adds a New Variable for BBYThere was also an unexpected element in the earnings announcement that deserves attention: Corie Barry is stepping down as CEO, with Chief Customer and Product Officer Jason Bonfig taking the reins on Nov. 1, 2026. Barry framed the transition positively, and from a surface read, it appears orderly—an internal promotion rather than an external hire or an emergency change.

But leadership transitions during a potential cyclical inflection always introduce execution risk. Bonfig will inherit a company with real momentum and will need to keep the Ads and Marketplace initiatives scaling without disruption.

What the Technical Setup Says About BBY StockBefore earnings, BBY was trading well below both its 50-day SMA (about $61.84) and its 200-day SMA (about $69.75) and had been in a sustained downtrend since late 2024. The earnings gap launched the stock to $77, decisively through both moving averages as well as its consensus price target of $70.70.

That kind of move is exciting for investors who are already long. For new buyers, it creates a tactical problem. Gap-ups of 15% on earnings frequently see at least partial mean reversion in the weeks following, particularly when the stock is clearing major technical resistance levels all at once. The 200-day SMA near $69.75 is now a logical first support level on any pullback, and the prior resistance zone around $75–$77 will need to be digested before the stock can sustain levels above it.

Is BBY a Buy After Earnings?Chasing a gap of this magnitude is typically a losing proposition. The more patient approach is to let the stock work off some of the excitement, watch whether the $70–$72 range holds on any pullback (former resistance becoming support), and look for a setup with a more defined risk level.

The full-year guidance of $6.30–$6.60 in adjusted EPS—reiterated, not raised—gives you a valuation anchor. At $76, the stock trades at roughly 11x–12x that range, which is not expensive for a company that's re-accelerating on comps and building out higher-margin revenue streams. But the multiple expansion argument requires solid execution over multiple quarters.

The fundamental thesis is cleaner than it's been in years. AI PCs are a real cycle, Ads and Marketplace are working, the operational discipline appears intact, and the dividend—which has a yield of 4.9%—looks safe. The trade is watching for a pullback that offers a better risk-reward entry, likely somewhere in the low-to-mid $70s, rather than following the gap on day one.

Meta wants to give more customers a chance to experience its hardware in person.

To that end, Best Buy on Monday (June 8) announced the launch of the “Meta Lab @ Best Buy” partnership, which involves establishing “900-square-foot experiential spaces,” for shoppers to test Meta’s virtual reality (VR) headsets and artificial intelligence (AI) glasses.

“These are immersive, hands-on spaces built for real discovery — where people can experience firsthand just how stylish, fun, and personal AI glasses and VR really are,” said Christa Wittenberg, vice president of global retail sales at Meta. “We want customers to walk in curious and leave genuinely excited about what’s possible.”

The glasses were created to be “worn and explored firsthand,” the announcement added, noting that more than 50% of Best Buy customers have said they want to see Meta’s AI glasses in person before making a purchase.

“Our customers are passionate about experiencing what’s next and they turn to Best Buy to bring it to life,” said Patrick McGinnis, chief merchandising officer at Best Buy. “Meta Lab @ Best Buy is an experience customers can’t find at any other retailer and sets a new standard for how our customers will explore, play with and discover the latest cutting-edge tech.”

The program is slated to reach 50 Best Buy locations throughout the summer, starting this month. The initial stores taking part in the program are based in San Carlos, California; Roseville, Minnesota; Woodland Park, New Jersey; Greenville, South Carolina; and Columbus, Ohio.

Meta already has five Meta Lab stores where it lets consumers experience its smart glasses and headsets. The company said earlier this year it plans to share what it learns at its Meta Lab stores with the retailers of its AI and VR-enabled wearables.

“We can see what’s drawing people in, and if the layout is confusing, we’ll fix it,” said Nicola Mendelsohn, head of global business group at Meta, per a Retail Touchpoints report. “We want to bring people together not just to browse but to participate.”

Meanwhile, PYMNTS wrote earlier this year about the impact of AI large language models on augmented reality (AR) smart glasses, turning them from display devices to “intelligent companions,” and offering a “gateway to real-time assistance.”

That assistance includes things like summarizing conversations, translating languages and offering contextual prompts according to what the wearer sees.

“But AI does not eliminate the need for a clear use case,” the report added. “It enhances interactions, but it does not define them. The question of why a user should wear AR glasses for hours each day, rather than pull out a smartphone when needed, remains open.”
