Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Sotera Health Company (SHC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.29 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.27 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.26 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +7.41%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.24 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.26, delivering a surprise of +8.33%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Sotera Health, which belongs to the Zacks Medical Services industry, posted revenues of $324.89 million for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.71%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $311.31 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Sotera Health shares have added about 0.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10.2%.

What's Next for Sotera Health?While Sotera Health has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Sotera Health was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.27 on $325.61 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.98 on $1.25 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical Services is currently in the top 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Viatris (VTRS - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on November 5.

This generic drugmaker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.64 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.4% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Viatris' revenues are expected to be $3.78 billion, up 0.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Management Comments
“We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, with revenue above the midpoint of our guidance,” said Dr. Mark Gitin, Chief Executive Officer of IPG Photonics. “Our performance reflects the strength of our technology, disciplined execution, and continued progress in expanding our presence in attractive, higher-growth markets. Strong demand for our differentiated welding and additive manufacturing solutions drove growth in Industrial Solutions while disciplined execution of our key strategic initiatives across defense and semiconductor markets led to strong growth in Advanced Solutions. Additionally, I anticipate that our acquisition of Lumibird Medical, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter, will further strengthen our reach, accelerate growth across medical markets, and increase revenue in Advanced Solutions.”

Financial Highlights

 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,  2026  2025 Change  2026  2025 ChangeSales by Application           Industrial Solutions$239,548 $214,697 12% $704,181 $607,593 16%Advanced Solutions 47,952  36,095 33%  127,396  121,713 5%Total$287,500 $250,792 15% $831,577 $729,306 14%
Third quarter revenue of $288 million increased 15% year over year, driven by 12% growth in Industrial Solutions and 33% growth in Advanced Solutions. Changes in foreign exchange rates increased revenue by approximately 1%. Industrial Solutions sales, accounting for 83% of total revenue, were driven by strong performance in welding and additive manufacturing applications. Advanced Solutions sales improved, driven by higher sales in semiconductor and defense applications. Emerging growth products accounted for 52% of total revenue, down from 58% in the prior quarter due to product mix. By region, sales increased 14% in Asia and 33% in North America and decreased 1% in Europe on a year-over-year basis.

GAAP gross margin of 40.7% and adjusted gross margin of 41.0% increased year over year, driven by lower product costs and $5.0 million in net tariff refunds recorded in the period, partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption. Net income was $20 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $52 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS) was $0.61 in the third quarter. During the third quarter, IPG generated $46 million in cash flow from operations and spent $17 million on capital expenditures.

Business Outlook and Financial Guidance

“Our third quarter book-to-bill was approximately one as we continued to see improved industrial demand and executed on our strategic growth initiatives, driving adoption for our differentiated laser and photonics solutions that deliver measurable value to customers. As we move forward, we remain focused on driving profitable growth through innovation, technology differentiation, and operational excellence across our portfolio,” concluded Dr. Gitin.

For the fourth quarter of 2026, IPG expects revenue of $265 million to $295 million, adjusted gross margin between 37.0% and 40.0% and adjusted operating expenses of $91 million to $94 million. IPG anticipates delivering adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.30 to $0.60 and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $33 million to $50 million. The guidance assumes no contribution from the acquisition of Lumibird Medical.

As discussed in more detail in the "Safe Harbor" passage of this news release, actual results may differ from this guidance due to various factors including, but not limited to, trade policy changes and trade restrictions, product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition, tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, currency fluctuations and general economic conditions. The current uncertainty related to the trade environment and tariff policies increases the risks to the outlook that we have provided. This guidance is based upon current market conditions and expectations and is subject to the risks outlined in the Company's reports filed with the SEC and assumes exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar of euro 0.88, Japanese yen 157 and Chinese yuan 6.74, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Information

We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are provided as supplemental information to enhance understanding of the Company’s financial performance. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measure presented by the Company. The following information provides the definition of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense and resultant adjusted operating income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net earnings per share (EPS), and adjusted tax rate as presented, which are financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, and reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense and resultant adjusted operating income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, and an adjusted tax rate as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures presented by the Company that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define adjusted gross profit as reported gross profit, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, including acquisition and integration charges and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue.

We define adjusted operating expense and resultant adjusted operating income as reported operating expenses and resultant operating income, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, including impairment charges, settlement and fees of litigation matters, restructuring charges, acquisition and integration charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, foreign exchange gains/losses and gain/loss on disposal of assets/divestiture.

We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense (income), provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense.

We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, and other adjustments that the Company believes appropriate, including stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, impairment charges, settlement and fees of litigation matters, acquisition and integration charges, foreign exchange gains/losses and gain/loss on disposal of assets/divestiture.

We define adjusted net income as reported net income, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, and other adjustments that the Company believes appropriate, including impairment charges, settlement and fees of litigation matters, restructuring charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition and integration charges, foreign exchange gains/losses and gain/loss on disposal of assets/divestiture, certain discrete tax items and non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments.

We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

We define adjusted tax rate as the GAAP tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items and the net impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts.

In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Management may, however, utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below. These non-GAAP measures exclude (i) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, (ii) restructuring charges, (iii) acquisition and integration costs, (iv) impairment charges, (v) foreign exchange gains/losses, (vi) interest income, (vii) benefit (provision) from income taxes, (viii) depreciation, (ix) amortization, (x) stock-based compensation, (xi) gain/loss on disposal of assets/divestiture, (xii) settlement and fees of litigation matters, (xiii) certain discrete tax items, and (xiv) non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments.

We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the ultimate timing or amount of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. This includes items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, cannot be reasonably predicted and/or for which there would not be any meaningful adjustment or difference. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Our non-GAAP tax provision for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 is 23%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments.

Eaton (ETN - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.68 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.54 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.07 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.96%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this power management company would post earnings of $3.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.15, delivering a surprise of +2.27%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Eaton, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - Electronics industry, posted revenues of $8.95 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.48%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $6.99 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Eaton shares have added about 14.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10.2%.

What's Next for Eaton?While Eaton has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Eaton was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $4.10 on $8.52 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $13.59 on $32.8 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Manufacturing - Electronics is currently in the top 44% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (PPSI - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.13 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $6.15 million, down 10.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In O-I Glass To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in O-I Glass between March 14, 2025 and July 28, 2026 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 3, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against O-I Glass, Inc. ("O-I Glass" or the "Company") (NYSE: OI) and reminds investors of the December 28, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose the true state of O-I Glass' Fit to Win program, including the delay in achieving its targeted cost savings, higher than expected expenses, operational disruptions that materially offset Fit to Win benefits, and continued competitive and energy-cost pressures affecting its European operations. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase O-I Glass' securities at artificially inflated prices.

On July 28, 2026, O-I Glass announced its second quarter 2026 financial results, substantially reducing its 2026 adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance and realigning its 2027 Investor Day financial targets. On this news, O-I Glass's stock price fell $1.36, or approximately 15%, to close at $7.70 per share on July 29, 2026.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding O-I Glass's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the O-I Glass class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/OI or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the O-I Glass Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the O-I Glass securities fraud lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleges that O-I Glass, Inc. and certain of its officers made materially false and misleading statements to investors during the Class Period concerning the company's "Fit to Win" restructuring program. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants concealed or misrepresented material adverse facts regarding delays in achieving targeted cost savings, higher-than-expected expenses, and operational disruptions that allegedly offset the program's benefits. The complaint further alleges that defendants failed to disclose continued competitive and energy-cost pressures affecting O-I Glass's European operations. As a result of these allegedly false and misleading statements, investors are alleged to have purchased O-I Glass securities at artificially inflated prices, suffering losses when the truth was ultimately disclosed.

Who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit?

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired O-I Glass, Inc. (NYSE: OI) securities on the open market between March 14, 2025 and July 28, 2026, inclusive, may be eligible to participate in this lawsuit. Eligibility to participate as a class member is not limited to those who apply to serve as lead plaintiff; any investor who purchased during the Class Period may potentially share in any recovery obtained. Eligible investors are encouraged to review their trading records for the relevant period to assess whether they may have suffered losses. Those with questions about their eligibility are encouraged to contact counsel for further information.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment?

A lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation, including making key decisions regarding litigation strategy and settlement. Any member of the proposed class who suffered losses from purchases of O-I Glass securities during the Class Period may move the court for appointment as lead plaintiff. The deadline to file a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff is December 28, 2026. Importantly, investors do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to participate in the class action or to share in any recovery that may be obtained on behalf of the class.

Why should investors contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP?

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has represented investors in securities litigation for decades and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for shareholders. Investors who purchased O-I Glass securities during the Class Period may contact the firm to discuss their legal rights, potential claims, and the lead plaintiff process at no cost or obligation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SueWallSt examines the adequacy of SEC disclosures made by Duolingo, Inc. (NASDAQ: DUOL) and notifies investors that a securities class action is pending on behalf of shareholders who purchased Duolingo Class A common stock between May 2, 2025 and February 26, 2026. Find out if you might qualify for recovery or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

Duolingo shares lost a combined $97.65 per share across three disclosure days and closed at $101.00 on February 27, 2026. The complaint asserts that investors suffered billions of dollars in losses. LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: December 7, 2026.

THE CASE: The Exchange Act action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. It challenges whether Duolingo's shareholder letters, Forms 10-Q and earnings calls disclosed that ad-heavy monetization, the Energy feature and mass-produced AI content were eroding daily active user ("DAU") growth.

Duolingo SEC Disclosure Adequacy: The Language Investors Received

SEC filings stated, in Duolingo's second-quarter 2025 shareholder letter, that DAU growth reflected the Company's "ability to continuously improve our app." The letter also credited Energy with lifting DAUs, learning time and subscriber conversion, adding: "We have rarely seen a feature move more than one of these metrics, let alone all three."

On the August 6, 2025 earnings call, management said it did not believe the AI backlash was "very material in terms of when you're looking at actual financial metrics." Management also explained that the Company "typically only guide[s] to DAU whenever there's going to be a big change."

Disclosure Gaps Alleged

The complaint challenges those statements as materially incomplete. It alleges they omitted that:

Energy drained a free user's balance with each correct answer, a design plaintiffs say was aimed at forcing paid conversionsThe Company's thousands of A/B tests showed added friction was depressing DAU growth ratesUnskippable ads after each lesson pushed some users to abandon years-long streaksRapidly generated AI content brought translation errors, pronunciation errors and repetitive lessons, even in the premium Max tierThe DAU slowdown extended beyond the AI-memo backlash and was expected to persist alongside the monetization push Why Generic Warnings May Not Protect

Plaintiffs contend that cautionary language cannot shield statements about risks allegedly already visible in the Company's own test data. Management again declined to guide DAUs in November 2025, yet preliminary figures in January 2026 put DAU growth at 30% and the February 26, 2026 results guided 2026 growth to just 20%. According to the complaint, management then acknowledged deliberately introducing "friction" into the free user experience.

"Generic risk factor language cannot substitute for disclosing specific, known problems that are already affecting a company's operations. The complaint alleges Duolingo’s internal testing showed monetization friction was slowing user growth, despite management downplaying its impact. Shareholders deserve to know whether those disclosures matched what management allegedly knew." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DUOL Lawsuit

Q: When did Duolingo allegedly mislead investors? A: The Class Period runs from May 2, 2025 to February 26, 2026. The complaint alleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a significant stock decline.

Q: What court was the DUOL class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: Who are the defendants named in the DUOL lawsuit? A: The complaint names Duolingo, Inc. and individual defendants including senior executives who signed SEC filings, made public statements, or certified financial disclosures under Sarbanes-Oxley.

Q: What do DUOL investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What happens after I contact Levi & Korsinsky? A: An attorney will review your trading history at no cost and provide an initial assessment of your potential eligibility.

Q: What if I already sold my DUOL shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: How long will the lawsuit take to resolve? A: Securities class actions typically take two to four years from initial filing to resolution. Timing depends on the court schedule, case developments, and whether the matter is dismissed, settled, or litigated further.

Q: What if I live outside the United States? A: U.S. securities class actions generally cover purchases on U.S. exchanges regardless of the investor's country of residence.

Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

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.

Life and the stock market are both about expectations, and rising above what is expected is often rewarded, while falling short can come with negative consequences. Investors might want to try to capture stronger returns by finding positive earnings surprises.

The ability to identify stocks that are likely to top quarterly earnings expectations can be profitable, but it's no simple task. Here at Zacks, our Earnings ESP filter helps make things easier.

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.

With this in mind, the Expected Surprise Prediction compares the Most Accurate Estimate (being the most recent) against the overall Zacks Consensus Estimate. The percentage difference provides the ESP figure. The system also utilizes our core Zacks Rank to provide a stronger system for identifying stocks that might beat their next quarterly earnings estimate and possibly see the stock price climb.

Bringing together a positive earnings ESP alongside a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better has helped stocks report a positive earnings surprise 70% of the time. Furthermore, by using these parameters, investors have seen 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.

Stocks with a ranking of #3 (Hold), or 60% of all stocks covered by the Zacks Rank, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with rankings of #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy), or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market; Strong Buy stocks should outperform more than any other rank.

Should You Consider Datadog?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. Datadog (DDOG - Free Report) holds a #3 (Hold) at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $0.65 a share one day away from its upcoming earnings release on November 4, 2026.

By taking the percentage difference between the $0.65 Most Accurate Estimate and the $0.64 Zacks Consensus Estimate, Datadog has an Earnings ESP of +0.35%. Investors should also know that DDOG is one of a large group of stocks with positive ESPs. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

DDOG is part of a big group of Computer and Technology stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC - Free Report) as well.

Lattice Semiconductor is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on February 9, 2027. LSCC's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.66 a share 98 days from its next earnings release.

For Lattice Semiconductor, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.64 is +3.32%.

Because both stocks hold a positive Earnings ESP, DDOG and LSCC could potentially post earnings beats in their next reports.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq: LPLA) announced today that financial advisor Joe Borgese, CFP® of Contour Wealth Management, LLC has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platforms.

Based outside of Philadelphia in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, Contour Wealth Management, LLC serves individuals and families through a relationship-driven, comprehensive planning approach. The practice works with educators, medical professionals, business owners and multigenerational families. In some cases they support three generations of the same family, from retirement planning to college savings for younger family members. 

Joe Borgese began his financial services career in 1990, first working in banking before moving to the corporate side of the industry. The firm’s name draws inspiration from contour lines on a map, reflecting the idea that each person’s journey takes a different path.

Contour Wealth Management, LLC begins each client relationship by understanding individual goals and expectations, then develops an evolving plan designed with a goal to support the life the client wants to live. The team meets with clients throughout the year and adjusts plans as circumstances change. The team’s approach brings together financial planning, investment planning and tax preparation, complemented by working relationships with outside professionals.

“Our clients’ lives don’t move in a straight line, and their financial plans shouldn’t be static either,” Joe Borgese said. “We start by understanding what they want their life to look like, then build a plan around those goals and continue adapting it as life changes. Our team has known many of these families for years, and in some cases across generations. That familiarity allows us to be there for the next decision, the next transition and the next step in their journey.” 

The practice is supported by a long-tenured team that has built deep familiarity with clients over decades. Lindsey Borgese, CFP® helps manage the office, while the team meets regularly to coordinate upcoming appointments and client needs. The team is supported by Diana C. Dugan, Enrolled Agent (EA) and administrative staff Brian Christman, Cheryl Dietz, and Karen Walla.

Why Contour Wealth Management, LLC Chose LPL

Contour Wealth Management, LLC selected LPL for its technology, operational support and advisor-focused service model. Joe Borgese also cited the opportunity to create cost efficiencies for clients as an important consideration in the move. 

“The biggest consideration for me was what this move could mean for our clients,” he said. “LPL’s combination of technology, operational support and the team-based approach to supporting advisors gives us an opportunity to work more efficiently. Just as important, we believe this move can help us deliver value to clients while allowing our team to stay focused on the relationships we’ve built.” 

Marc Cohen, chief growth officer at LPL Financial, said, “Contour Wealth Management, LLC has built a deeply personal practice around continuity, comprehensive planning and relationships that extend across generations. Joe and his team understand that every family’s path is different, and they have created an experience designed to evolve alongside clients through each stage of life. We’re pleased to welcome Contour Wealth Management, LLC to LPL and look forward to supporting the team with the technology, resources and operational scale to preserve those trusted relationships while building for the future.”

Deckers Outdoor trades at a significant discount to intrinsic value, with a refund-free earnings multiple under 12x and an estimated fair value around $110. Management prioritizes brand equity over short-term revenue, maintaining full-price selling discipline despite a promotional U.S. market and slowing HOKA growth. Guidance for fiscal 2027 implies modest sales and EPS growth, with HOKA expected to reaccelerate in Q4; risks include further HOKA slowdown and heavy Q4 reliance for UGG.

Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - 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 poultry producer have returned +2.3% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -2.3% change. The Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, to which Pilgrim's Pride belongs, has gained 6% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?

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

Earnings Estimate 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, Pilgrim's Pride is expected to post earnings of $0.52 per share, indicating a change of -23.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -5.5% over the last 30 days.

The consensus earnings estimate of $2.13 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -58.8%. This estimate has changed +8.7% over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $2.46 indicates a change of +15.5% from what Pilgrim's Pride is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +1.7%.

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, Pilgrim's Pride is rated Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

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

12 Month EPS

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

For Pilgrim's Pride, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $4.7 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +4%. For the current and next fiscal years, $18.5 billion and $18.9 billion estimates indicate +0% and +2.2% changes, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryPilgrim's Pride reported revenues of $4.65 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -2.2%. EPS of $0.49 for the same period compares with $1.52 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.6 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +1.16%. The EPS surprise was +2.08%.

Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once. The company topped consensus revenue estimates two 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.

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

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.

Pilgrim's Pride is graded A on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Pilgrim's Pride. However, its Zacks Rank #4 does suggest that it may underperform the broader market in the near term.

Commerzbank’s Carsten Fritsch notes Silver has dropped to USD 48.6 per troy ounce, a 12‑month low, and is underperforming Gold as the gold/silver ratio reaches 80. He sees no Silver-specific trigger, citing tech-stock and base-metal weakness, but argues the decline is exaggerated given strong import demand from India and China pointing to robust industrial and investment usage.

Strong demand contrasts with Silver's price slump"The silver price has dropped to USD 48.6 per troy ounce today, its lowest level in almost a year. Silver is also significantly underperforming gold, as reflected in the rise in the gold/silver ratio to 80."

"The last time silver was this cheap relative to gold was at the end of November 2025. There is no silver-specific trigger for the price weakness. "

"The ongoing correction in technology stocks is apparently fueling concerns about silver demand from this sector. In addition, base metal prices are also under pressure, which is weighing on silver as around half of silver demand comes from industrial applications."

"We consider the current weakness in silver prices to be exaggerated. India has approved the import of large quantities of silver in the coming months. "

"According to customs data, China imported almost 50% more silver in the first nine months of the year than in the same period last year, the highest volume for this time of the year in eight years and already more than in the whole of last year."

"This points to stronger silver demand in China, be it for photovoltaics, other industrial applications or investment purposes."

Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (ENLT - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.2 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.13 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.16 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $165.06 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

What's Next for Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd.?While Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.02 on $188.28 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.47 on $816.43 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Alternative Energy - Other is currently in the top 42% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations were made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated September 28, 2026 (as amended from time to time, the "Offering Memorandum").

For the avoidance of doubt, Kenvue will remain responsible for paying any interest that accrues on any Kenvue Notes and is payable on any interest payment date occurring prior to the Settlement Date, as well as any interest that is required to be paid on Kenvue Notes that remain outstanding following the Settlement Date. The Kimberly-Clark Notes will be general, unsecured senior obligations of Kimberly-Clark and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Kimberly-Clark's existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations and will be effectively subordinated to all of Kimberly-Clark's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants claimed the Company's Newsfeed was its "biggest revenue driver." Specifically, defendants claimed that the Company's growth was "led by our Newsfeed, which is both our most used and most monetized product" and told investors that the Newsfeed was consistently "reach[ing] new highs," with "an all-time record of quarterly active prescribers and double-digit growth in the number of articles read or tapped." In addition, Doximity touted its "deep engagement," assuring investors that Doximity does not "bombard physicians with ads and messages in hopes of getting lucky" and assured investors that "[Doximity does not] have an e-newsletter product." In truth, Doximity overstated the impact that its Newsfeed had on its revenue growth, and the Company was losing market share to its competitors with more favorable pricing and engagement models. Additionally, notwithstanding its frequent statements to the contrary, Doximity relied heavily on both banner ads and email newsletters as advertising methods.

Why Did Doximity Stock Drop?

Plaintiff alleges that on November 6, 2025, despite reporting strong second quarter results, Doximity expressed a degree of caution regarding the outlook for ad spending and implied a slowdown in sales growth in the second half of the 2026 fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2026. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Doximity common stock declined by $8.29 per share, or 13%.

Then, on February 5, 2026, Doximity lowered its revenue guidance for 2026 full fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2026, and announced that its sales growth had decelerated while its net income had contracted, which will negatively impact its 2026 fiscal fourth quarter. Following these poor financial results, analysts noted that "uncertainty is lingering. This is not widespread, meaning not all pharma[ceutical] clients are holding back" on their advertising spend. Analysts also began to posit that the reason for Doximity's slowing growth was that the Company was actually losing market share to its competitors. Specifically, an analyst at Evercore noted that older companies, such as Doximity, "are losing share while programmatic, social, and other new formats are gaining share." As a result of these disclosures, the price of Doximity common stock declined by $5.59 per share, or 17%.

Then, on May 13, 2026, Doximity announced that it missed its already-reduced revenue guidance and projected a significantly slower pace of growth for its 2027 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2027. As a result, several analysts downgraded Doximity stock citing issues specific to the Company's business. For example, Freeman Capital Markets described the news as "a tough pill to swallow" as shares fell to "an all-time low" and Jefferies placed the stock in the "penalty box." Leerink Partners also put Doximity "in the penalty box" following the "eye-catching" guidance paired with the "shock value" of "[a]ll of the dynamics that lead to the guidance, including market softness, timing of commitments and the spend to ramp its AI products." RBC Capital Markets noted that Doximity's stalled net revenue retention suggested an "increasingly competitive market." As a result of these disclosures, the price of Doximity common stock declined by $5.38 per share, or 23%.

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Doximity, Inc. common stock between August 8, 2024 and May 13, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) securities between March 4, 2025 and July 15, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until Friday, November 13, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit. Captioned Hunter v. AST SpaceMobile, Inc., No. 26-cv-00378 (W.D.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: AST SpaceMobile, together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops the constellation of BlueBird satellites. According to the complaint, in September 2025, telecommunications company EchoStar Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with SpaceX to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses (the “EchoStar Transaction”). The complaint alleges that, in connection with the EchoStar Transaction, SpaceX and EchoStar Corporation agreed to enter into a long-term commercial agreement, enabling EchoStar’s Boost Mobile subscribers to access SpaceX’s next generation direct-to-cellular (“D2C”) service provided by its telecommunications subsidiary Starlink Services, LLC.

The AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) AST SpaceMobile’s increasing capital requirements were likely to increase AST SpaceMobile’s debt load and share dilution with greater frequency and at greater scale than defendants had signaled to investors; (ii) accordingly, defendants had overstated the sufficiency of AST SpaceMobile’s capital and liquidity position to achieve its strategic and business goals; (iii) defendants likewise overstated the durability of AST SpaceMobile’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (iv) even following the EchoStar Transaction, defendants continued overstating AST SpaceMobile’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (v) AST SpaceMobile was experiencing slow user adoption in the United States and Japan; (vi) the foregoing was likely to have a significant negative impact on AST SpaceMobile’s business and financial prospects; and (vii) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired AST SpaceMobile securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the AST SpaceMobile class action lawsuit.

Říjnový pokles indexu S&P 500 na první pohled naznačuje slábnoucí akciový trh. Ale přesto, že několik největších technologických a AI společností stáhlo hlavní index do záporu, většina indexu výrazně posílila. To naznačuje, že se růst trhu začíná rozšiřovat mimo úzkou skupinu AI favoritů, kteří dosud dominovali letošnímu vývoji. Historické zkušenosti navíc ukazují, že podobné rozšíření trhu často předcházelo dalšímu růstu amerických akcií v následujících měsících.

Index S&P 500 uzavřel druhý měsíc v řadě v záporných číslech. Pokud se ale podíváme pod povrch, zjistíme, že za tím stála jen hrstka akcií. Tento benchmark si za říjen škrtl 0,9 %, když investoři zostřili své obavy ohledně investičního trendu spojeném s umělou inteligencí, zatímco ceny ropy prudce rostly v důsledku stupňujícího se napětí mezi USA a Íránem, upozorňuje CNBC.

Naproti tomu rovnoměrně vážená verze indexu S&P 500 si vedla mnohem lépe. V říjnu tento posílila o 4,9 %, což představuje její nejvýraznější měsíční růst od dubna. Podle společnosti Bespoke Investment Group dokonce šlo o její nejlepší měsíc v poměru k indexu S&P 500 váženému tržní kapitalizací od dubna 2009 a druhý nejlepší od roku 1990.

Výrazná výkonnostní převaha průměrné akcie dokazuje, jak silně se trh stal závislým na trendu spojeném s umělou inteligencí. Technologický sektor v indexu S&P 500 tvoří 37 % jeho celkové tržní kapitalizace, přičemž osm z deseti největších titulů v indexu S&P 500 patří do technologického sektoru nebo souvisí s umělou inteligencí.

Společnost Tržní kapitalizace Apple 5,029 bilionu USD Nvidia 4,931 bilionu USD Microsoft 3,875 bilionu USD Amazon 2,592 bilionu USD Alphabet 3,411 bilionu USD Broadcom 1,556 bilionu USD Meta Platforms 1,572 bilionu USD Eli Lilly 1,333 bilionu USD Tesla 1,580 bilionu USD Berkshire Hathaway 1,162 bilionu USD Na základě historických dat by to nicméně mohl být pro akciový trh pozitivní signál. Společnost Bespoke uvedla, že v případech, kdy index S&P 500 vážený tržní kapitalizací zaostává za svou variantou s rovnoměrným vážením, dosahuje ten první index následující tři měsíce mediánového zhodnocení 4,6 %. V horizontu jednoho roku pak tento růst dosahuje téměř 13 %.

Tom Lee, šéf výzkumu ve společnosti Fundstrat, se domnívá, že index S&P 500 by mohl ještě před koncem roku překonat hranici 8 200 bodů. Říjen přitom uzavřel na hodnotě 7 580,07 bodu.

„Trhy zakončí rok silné,“ uvedl v pondělí v pořadu „Squawk Box“ stanice CNBC. „V průběhu letošního roku jsme byli svědky prudkého výprodeje indexu s rovnoměrným vážením… takže většina trhu už korekcí prošla.“
