Creator-era independent studio announces first feature film, Crush Party

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / Dolphin (Nasdaq:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and content production company, and KYNETIC Media Ventures, a media and venture investment holding company, today announced the launch of Graviteur Studios, a creator-led, audience-first independent film and television studio built for an entertainment landscape increasingly driven by creators, fandom, and intellectual property.

Led by KYNETIC CEO David Freeman and Dolphin CEO Bill O'Dowd, Graviteur Studios is designed to bridge the worlds of digital influence and premium entertainment, reshaping how creators develop, finance, produce, market, and distribute original scripted films and television projects.

Graviteur will focus on financing projects in the $1-10 million range, providing creators with ownership in each property. The slate will cross genres and cultural passion points that resonate with digitally native audiences, including thriller, comedy, horror, YA, romance, sci-fi, sports, anime-inspired storytelling, and creator-led franchises.

The studio is developing an initial slate of scripted projects, including its first feature film, Crush Party, a YA thriller written by Johnny Saras. O'Dowd and Freeman are in talks with creator talent to star in the film, which will be announced in the coming months.

Crush Party follows a group of college students invited to an exclusive Valentine's Day "Crush Party," where attendees are anonymously selected by someone secretly harboring feelings for them. But when guests begin dying one by one, and blackmail tied to their darkest secrets surfaces, the students realize they've been lured into a deadly game where the killer is one of them.

Graviteur positions creators as the next generation of filmmakers and franchise owners. The entertainment industry and media landscape have a history of evolving and expanding; Graviteur is entering the next phase of that evolution which is increasingly powered by audience ownership, community engagement, and creator-driven discovery.

"We're seeing a fundamental shift in how audiences discover and engage with entertainment," said Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin. "Creators are increasingly shaping culture and commanding audience attention. Graviteur was built to support that evolution by giving creators the production and distribution infrastructure, marketing power, and strategic partnership needed to build premium scripted entertainment franchises."

The venture combines Dolphin Entertainment's nearly three decades of expertise across financing, production, communications, marketing, and distribution with KYNETIC's deep experience building creator-driven media businesses and culturally relevant IP.

"We believe the future of independent entertainment will come from talent and communities that already command attention and cultural relevance," said David Freeman, CEO of KYNETIC Media Ventures. "Creators are building global audiences long before a traditional studio gets involved. Graviteur was launched to elevate Creators as owners and fandoms into scalable entertainment properties."

Through the venture's integrated entertainment ecosystem, including Dolphin subsidiaries 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media, Elle Communications, Special Projects, and The Digital Dept, Graviteur will provide creators and projects with coordinated access to strategic brand partnerships, publicity, influencer strategy, creator marketing, social amplification, experiential activations, impact marketing, and audience engagement under a unified platform.

DAVIE, FL – TheNewswire – June 23, 2026 - Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (OTC: BWMG), through its LW Americas division, spotlighted the LW 100 mobile compressor platform as a core component of its expanding high-pressure air and gas compression portfolio. The announcement reflects Brownie’s continued strategy to extend its capabilities beyond traditional marine applications and into industrial, public safety, and mission-critical environments by delivering compact, high-performance systems engineered for real-world use.

The LW 100 platform is designed to provide a powerful yet highly portable solution for operators who require high-pressure air in locations where space, infrastructure, or mobility constraints limit the use of traditional stationary compressor systems. With a compact footprint of approximately 26.4 x 15.7 x 15.7 inches and a total system weight of roughly 95 lb, the LW 100 enables deployment across service vehicles, vessels, and remote job sites while maintaining performance levels typically associated with larger compressor platforms.

Despite its small size, the LW 100 delivers up to 330 bar (4,850 psi) and a flow rate of approximately 100 liters per minute, supporting a wide range of applications including SCBA cylinder filling, dive operations, emergency response, and industrial gas handling.

At the center of the LW 100 breathing air compressor is Lenhardt & Wagner’s proprietary one-piece compressor block design, which integrates the crankcase and cylinders into a single casting. This architecture reduces leak paths, improves thermal stability, and enhances long-term durability.

The LW 100 platform is increasingly being evaluated for applications where portability, reliability, and continuous-duty operation are critical requirements. These markets include fire and rescue operations, industrial breathing air systems, mobile service operations, military support activities, and remote infrastructure environments where traditional compressor installations may not be practical.

“LW Americas represents a critical expansion of our portfolio into high-performance industrial and public safety markets,” said Robert Carmichael, CEO of Brownie’s Marine Group. “The LW 100 platform embodies our commitment to delivering reliable, engineered solutions that perform in real-world conditions. It’s a small but mighty system that provides customers with the portability they need and the performance they expect from mission-critical equipment.”

Key Takeaways CNP and ES gain from regulated operations, rising electricity demand and infrastructure investments. ES has a 4.49% dividend yield, 11.59% ROE and 64.50% debt-to-capital ratio. CNP plans $6.8B in 2026 capital spending and reaffirmed its $65.5B 2026-2035 plan. Companies operating in the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry generate, transmit and distribute electricity to millions of residential, commercial and industrial customers across the United States. These companies manage extensive power generation assets and transmission networks to ensure a reliable energy supply. The regulated nature of utility operations allows them to recover costs through rate hikes and supports steady returns, while growing customer demand contributes to earnings expansion. In addition, utilities are known for offering attractive dividend payouts and stable returns, making them a reliable investment choice.

Electricity consumption across the United States continues to increase, supported by growing electrification trends, population growth, the reshoring of manufacturing activities and the rapid expansion of data centers. Companies operating in this industry are making strategic investments in generation and grid infrastructure supporting long-term revenues and earnings growth.

Given the increasing significance of the power generation, transmission and distribution business, let us compare CenterPoint Energy (CNP - Free Report) and Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) .  These two regulated electric utilities benefit from rising electric demand and supportive cost-recovery mechanisms, while consistently investing in infrastructure upgrades and grid modernization, making them closely comparable in the utility sector.

CenterPoint Energy is benefiting from rising electricity demand, especially in its Houston Electric service territory, where expanding industrial operations and increasing data center needs are fueling strong load growth. The company's systematic investments in infrastructure development and grid modernization are creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders. By pairing capital spending with constructive regulatory recovery mechanisms, it effectively transforms rate-base expansion into stable earnings growth.

Eversource Energy benefits from its regulated business model, which provides stable cash flow and supports timely cost recovery. ES is allocating capital toward transforming into a pure-play regulated utility, which offers stable growth prospects, aids customers in achieving clean energy goals and delivers more predictable earnings. The company is making strategic investments to expand and modernize its electric transmission and distribution network, enhancing grid reliability and meeting rising electricity demand. These investments are expected to grow its rate base, improve earnings visibility and support long-term value creation for shareholders.

CNP & ES’ Earnings Growth ProjectionsThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNP’s earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $1.91 in 2026 and $2.08 in 2027, suggesting year-over-year growth of 8.52% and 8.85%, respectively.  CNP’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth is currently pinned at 8.85%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ES’ EPS is pegged at $4.68 in 2026 and $4.97 in 2027, suggesting a year-over-year decline of 1.68% and growth of 6.32%, respectively.  ES’ long-term earnings growth is currently pinned at 3.25%

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Debt to CapitalThe Zacks Utilities sector is capital-intensive and requires regular investments to upgrade and maintain infrastructure, enhance operational efficiency and serve rising energy demand. To fund these large-scale, long-term projects, utilities utilize a mix of internally generated cash flows and debt financing from capital markets, thereby supporting steady expansion and ensuring reliable service for customers.

Eversource Energy’s debt-to-capital currently stands at 64.50%, lower than CenterPoint Energy’s 68.31%. CNP and ES’ debt levels are higher than the industry’s 60.97%, with CNP’s being higher, indicating greater reliance on borrowed funds.

Return on EquityReturn on Equity (“ROE”) is a financial metric that reflects the amount of profit a company earns for each dollar of shareholders’ capital. A higher ROE indicates strong managerial efficiency in using shareholder funds to create value and drive profit growth.

Eversource Energy’s current ROE is 11.59%, outperforming CenterPoint Energy’s lower ROE of 10.56% and the industry average of 11.22%. ES utilizes shareholder capital more effectively and generates higher returns.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Dividend YieldUtility companies consistently increase shareholders' value through regular dividend distribution, highlighting their commitment to providing steady returns on invested capital. Such distributions reflect the stability of their earnings streams and their ability to generate strong and predictable cash flows.

Currently, the dividend yield for ES is 4.49%, while that for CNP is 2.13%. The dividend yields of both companies are above the S&P 500 average yield of 1.44%.

Capital Investment PlansThe utility sector requires substantial capital spending to maintain assets, improve system resilience and expand infrastructure. Electric utilities are making substantial investments to strengthen their transmission and distribution networks, modernize the grid and deploy advanced technologies, enhancing operational efficiency, system reliability and the quality of customer service.

Eversource Energy plans to invest $5.07 billion in 2026 and about $27.8 billion between 2026 and 2030, including Aquarion investments of $1.3 billion, $11.2 billion in electric distribution and $6.8 billion in natural gas distribution, with an additional $1 billion of potential opportunities. CenterPoint Energy aims to invest $6.8 billion in 2026 and reaffirmed its $65.5 billion 2026-2035 capital plan. These investments are expected to enhance grid resilience, reduce outage durations and deliver meaningful operational cost savings.

Price PerformanceES shares have gained 4% in the past three months compared with CNP’s growth of 3%.

Zacks Rank Eversource Energy currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while CenterPoint Energy has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Summing UpCenterPoint Energy and Eversource Energy both benefit from a regulated structure, rising service demand and significant infrastructure investments to support millions of customers across the United States.

Based on the above discussion, our pick at the moment is Eversource Energy, given its better dividend yield, higher return on equity, lower debt-to-capital ratio, better Zack’s rank and price performance. These factors are expected to provide higher returns to investors when compared with CenterPoint Energy.

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 also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

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

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

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +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.

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.

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

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

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

Stock to Watch: Gartner (IT - Free Report) Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, Gartner, Inc. is reportedly the world's leading information technology research and advisory firm. The company offers rich domain expertise and technology-related insight necessary for an informed decision-making process.

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

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. IT has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 3.6% for the current fiscal year.

Four analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.35 to $13.65 per share. IT also boasts an average earnings surprise of +10.6%.

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

Company maintains the nation’s top managed SD-WAN position while earning leadership recognition across secure networking and managed services as enterprises prepare networks for AI-driven operations

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comcast Business, one of the fastest growing and most-awarded enterprise providers, today announced a series of industry recognitions that reinforce its leadership in enterprise networking, including the #1 ranking in U.S. Carrier Managed SD-WAN Services for the second consecutive year, according to Vertical Systems Group, and earning leadership recognition across SD-WAN, SASE, and managed network services. The recognitions come as enterprises increasingly seek integrated networking, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled operations from a single strategic provider.

“The question enterprises are asking has changed. It’s no longer ‘who can connect my sites’ – it’s ‘who can run an intelligent, secure network for me as AI transforms how we operate,’” said Bob Victor, Chief Product Officer, Comcast Business. “We built our platform to answer that question. These recognitions are a good sign our strategy is working, but the strongest validation comes from our customers. They are looking for a partner who will take accountability for bringing networking, security, and operational intelligence together in a way that makes their business simpler and more efficient.”

As AI reshapes enterprise operations, organizations are rethinking how networks are designed, secured, and managed. Success increasingly depends on the ability to combine high-performance connectivity, integrated cybersecurity solutions, automation, and operational intelligence within a single platform. The breadth of recognition earned by Comcast Business across analyst evaluations, market-share rankings, and customer experience surveys reflects the company’s continued progress toward that vision.

Comcast Business also maintained its #5 ranking on Vertical Systems Group’s U.S. Carrier Ethernet Services LEADERBOARD, underscoring the breadth of its connectivity infrastructure.

Atlantic-ACM 2026 U.S. Business Connectivity Service Provider Excellence Awards – Winner: Service Delivery, Customer Service, and Data Value

Comcast Business was named the 2026 winner among Large Service Providers in three categories: Service Delivery, Customer Service, and Data Value. Winning two categories that directly measure the customer experience underscores a consistent theme across this year's recognition: Comcast Business delivers for the enterprises it serves.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Insilico Medicine ("Insilico", 3696.HK), a clinical-stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery company, and SK Biopharmaceuticals, a Korean-based company leads the way in biotech innovation with groundbreaking drug research, development, and commercialization worldwide, announced a research and development collaboration at the BIO 2026 International Convention to discover AI-enabled innovative drug candidates in the neuroimmune area of the central nervous system (CNS).

Neuroimmune disorders, including neuroinflammatory, neurodegenerative, and rare neurological disorders, remain among the most challenging therapeutic areas in modern medicine, with significant unmet patient need and historically low clinical success rates.

Under the agreement, Insilico will leverage its proprietary Pharma.AI platform, which spans target validation, generative chemistry, and molecule optimization, together with its preclinical drug discovery expertise to discover, design, and optimize novel candidates for neuroimmune indications. SK Biopharmaceuticals will contribute its extensive development and clinical capabilities in neuroimmune disorders, steering the late-stage development and commercialization of all resulting programs. Together, the two companies aim to accelerate discovery timelines and advance next-generation therapies for patients worldwide.

Financially, Insilico will be eligible to receive up to $18 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments. The total potential deal value exceeds $2.5 billion, including development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, as well as single-digit royalties on net sales upon commercialization. Notably, the partnership sets a record by total potential deal value that Insilico has secured with APAC partners to date.

"This collaboration represents an important milestone in expanding our growth beyond epilepsy into new CNS therapeutic areas, building on the deep CNS expertise we have established through the successful development and commercialization of Cenobamate," said Donghoon Lee, President and CEO of SK Biopharmaceuticals. "By combining Insilico's AI-powered drug discovery platform with SK Biopharmaceuticals' clinical development and U.S. commercialization capabilities, we believe we can accelerate the discovery of innovative CNS therapies for patients. Beyond a single program, we see this collaboration as a scalable and repeatable growth platform that can be leveraged for future target discovery and development opportunities."

"We are delighted to announce this great news at the 2026 BIO International Convention, which underscores the tremendous power of industry communication and collaboration in accelerating progress in healthcare," said Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov, founder, co-CEO, and CBO of Insilico Medicine. "SK Biopharmaceuticals is a visionary partner, merging global leadership and commercialization expertise with a forward-thinking embrace of AI. By uniting Insilico's AI-driven target-to-candidate engine with SK Biopharmaceuticals' deep CNS mastery, we aim to unlock breakthrough therapies, spanning both traditional small molecules and advanced new modalities, to address critical patient needs."

As an AI-native biotechnology company, Insilico is redefining the efficiency of preclinical drug development through its advanced AI and automation platform, setting a new standard for the industry. While traditional early-stage drug discovery typically takes 2.5 to 4 years, Insilico has consistently reached preclinical candidate (PCC) nomination in an average of just 12 to 18 months, with only 60 to 200 molecules synthesized and tested per program. Since 2021, the company has nominated 31 PCCs, 13 of which have received IND approval or clearance.

While expanding the practical applications of its technology in drug discovery and life science research, Insilico is also continuously enhancing the performance of its AI platform. Drawing on extensive experience and datasets from its training platform, the company has distilled thousands of benchmarks and integrated them into MMAI Gym. Serving as both a "trainer and benchmark" for scientific AI, MMAI Gym enables organizations to train models for domain-specific reasoning while rigorously evaluating their performance on real-world tasks, advancing the path toward pharma superintelligence. To date, Human Longevity and Liquid AI have collaborated with Insilico, joining as partners of  MMAI Gym.

Key Takeaways ADI's Q2 fiscal 2026 gross margin rose to 73% from 69.4%, while operating margin reached 49%.ADI's Industrial segment, 50% of revenue, grew 56% year over year and 20% sequentially.ADI's Data Center revenues jumped more than 90%, driven by demand for AI infrastructure solutions. Analog Devices’ (ADI - Free Report) margins have been improving for the past several quarters. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, ADI posted a gross margin of 73%, up from 69.4% in the year-ago quarter. ADI’s adjusted operating margin was 49% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with 41.2% in the previous year quarter.

The pattern has remained similar for the past six months, suggesting Analog Devices’ strong, profitable business model across segments. ADI has been riding on a combination of a favorable business mix, higher factory utilization, pricing strength and disciplined operational execution.

The company’s growth is accelerating, driven by ADI's highest-value markets, including Industrial, Aerospace & Defense, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), Electronic Test & Measurement (ETM), Data Center, and advanced Automotive applications. These businesses typically command premium pricing due to their performance requirements, long product lifecycles and mission-critical nature.

Industrial remains ADI's most profitable business and was the primary growth engine during the quarter. It accounted for 50% of revenues. Industrial grew 56% year over year and 20% sequentially. Management highlighted Aerospace & Defense, ATE, ETM, and the broad market business as key contributors.

Importantly, Industrial businesses beyond ATE and Aerospace grew more than 40% during the first half of fiscal 2026, indicating broad-based strength across automation, energy, healthcare and industrial automation markets. Communications was the fastest-growing end market, increasing 79% year over year. Within this segment, Data Center revenues surged more than 90%, driven by strong demand for ADI's optical and power solutions supporting AI infrastructure.

Management described both the Data Center and ATE businesses as being on steep growth trajectories with confidence extending into 2027. Overall, ADI's margin expansion is being fueled by rapid growth in its highest-margin, most differentiated businesses, creating a powerful combination of revenue acceleration and operating leverage.

How Competitors Fare Against Analog DevicesAnalog Devices competes with Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) in the industrial segment and with Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) in the communications segment, which are also two of ADI’s strongest segments in terms of revenue growth and profit margin.

Texas Instruments competes with ADI in industrial signal chains, precision sensing and power management, especially in PLCs, factory automation and motor control. STMicroelectronics competes in industrial MCUs, motor drivers, sensors and automation systems. In the Communications segment, Texas Instruments competes with ADI in analog/mixed-signal, RF front-ends, power amp/driver ICs, ADCs/DACs in infrastructure and wireless systems.

Broadcom is strong in networking, data center, broadband, Wi-Fi, Ethernet PHYs and switches. In the communications segment, Broadcom mainly competes with its high-speed connectivity, optical / wireline networking equipment and cable or broadband IC portfolio. Despite strong competition from Texas Instruments and Broadcom, Analog Devices has enough scope to grow in the communications space as new 5G technology is being introduced, which gives scope for expansion to all the players.

ADI’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesShares of ADI have gained 60.2% year to date compared with the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry’s growth of 69.7%.

On June 24, 2026, we conducted a DCF analysis for O'Reilly Automotive Inc ORLY , a company that has seen a decline in its stock price over the past year. The current price of ORLY stands at $87.54, reflecting a market cap of $72,546 million. The stock has experienced a price performance of -3.5% over the last week, -4.6% over the last month, and -4.0% year-to-date, culminating in a -4.1% decline over the past year.

DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value: $85.88 vs current price $87.54 (margin of safety: -1.9%) DCF FCF-based intrinsic value: $55.32 vs current price (second opinion) GF Score™: 94/100, indicating high reliability of the DCF inputs What Is ORLY Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model The DCF earnings-based model for ORLY incorporates a two-stage growth approach. In the first stage, we project earnings growth over the next ten years based on a growth rate of 18.4%. In the second stage, we apply a terminal growth rate of 4% for the following ten years. The discount rate used for both stages is 11%, which accounts for the risk-free rate and equity risk premium.

Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $3.06 10-Year Growth Rate 18.4% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.49% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:

Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 18.4%, discounted at 11% $44.39 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $41.49 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $85.88 With the current price at $87.54 compared to the intrinsic value of $85.89, ORLY is considered fair valued, reflecting a margin of safety of -1.9%. It is important to note that GuruFocus uses EPS without non-recurring items, as research indicates that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than with free cash flow. For more detailed calculations, visit the ORLY DCF Calculator.

What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? The free cash flow (FCF) based intrinsic value for ORLY is calculated at $55.32. When comparing the FCF-based valuation with the earnings-based valuation, there is a significant discrepancy. The FCF model indicates that ORLY is modestly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -58.2%. This divergence suggests that while the earnings-based model presents a more favorable outlook, the FCF model raises concerns about the company's valuation.

How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for O'Reilly Automotive Inc is calculated at $94.81, providing a third perspective on the company's valuation. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. When comparing all three models, the earnings-based DCF suggests fair valuation, the FCF-based DCF indicates overvaluation, and the GF Value™ suggests that the stock is undervalued. This inconsistency highlights the importance of considering multiple valuation approaches. For more information, visit the GF Value™ page.

What Does ORLY's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ ranks stocks from 0 to 100 based on five key aspects: Financial Strength, Profitability, Growth, Valuation, and Momentum. Stocks with higher GF Score™ values have historically generated higher long-term returns (backtested from 2006 to 2021). The GF Score™ for O'Reilly Automotive Inc is 94/100, indicating strong performance across these metrics. The predictability rank of 4/5 stars suggests that the DCF model is more reliable for this stock.

Metric Rating GF Score™ 94/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 10/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 5/10 For more details, visit the ORLY stock page.

Key Assumptions and Limitations It is essential to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings tend to produce less reliable DCF estimates. Additionally, the terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not reflect future economic conditions.

What This Means for Investors In synthesizing the three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—we find a mixed outlook for O'Reilly Automotive Inc. While the earnings-based DCF suggests the stock is fair valued, the FCF model indicates it is modestly overvalued, and the GF Value™ suggests it is undervalued. Overall, the consensus points towards a cautious approach, as the stock's valuation remains uncertain. For the full DCF analysis, visit the ORLY DCF Calculator. You can also explore the GF Value™ page, or use the GuruFocus Stock Screener to find undervalued predictable companies.

Frequently Asked Questions What is ORLY's intrinsic value based on DCF?

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?

Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) .

Cadence currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.39, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 23 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.39 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.

Of the 23 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 18 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 78.3% and 4.4% of all recommendations.

Brokerage Recommendation Trends for CDNS

The ABR suggests buying Cadence, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.

Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.

This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.

With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near-term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.

ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankIn spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.

The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.

It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.

In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.

Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.

There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.

Is CDNS Worth Investing In?In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Cadence, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $7.94.

Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Cadence. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Cadence.

Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) ended the recent trading session at $379.06, demonstrating a -2.57% change from the preceding day's closing price. The stock's performance was behind the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.44%. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 0.09%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 2.22%.

The maker of hardware and software products for validating chip designs's shares have seen an increase of 4.14% over the last month, surpassing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 0.98% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.08%.

Marvell (MRVL) debuted on the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) at the start of Monday's trading session just as shares continue a run near all-time highs. Rick Ducat points out the stock's stellar run compared to other names in the AI hardware stack.

Marvell Technology (MRVL 3.30%) stock has jumped by a stunning 247% so far this year. Investors have been buying shares of this chip designer hand over fist since it became evident that it is poised to capitalize on the fast-growing demand for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and networking equipment in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

What's more, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's recent statement about Marvell becoming the "next trillion-dollar company" seems to have further boosted investor confidence in this semiconductor stock. However, we are going to look beyond the hype in this article to see whether this high-flying chipmaker can deliver further gains following its phenomenal rally and make investors richer over the next three years.

Marvell Technology has become extremely expensive, but that's half the story Marvell's parabolic jump this year explains why its 12-month median price target of $240 sits 23% below its current stock price. After all, Marvell has a trailing price-to-earnings multiple of 106. Also, the forward earnings multiple of 76 isn't cheap either, though it does suggest a nice spike in the company's bottom line.

For comparison, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite index has an average earnings multiple of 41. So, Marvell will have to consistently deliver stronger-than-expected results and guidance in order to deliver more gains. The good part is that the company can indeed do so. It is worth noting that 85% of the 47 analysts covering Marvell stock still rate it as a buy.

That's because the company is confident it can substantially accelerate growth thanks to the lucrative markets it serves. Bloomberg estimates that the custom AI processor market could grow to $118 billion in 2033, accounting for 19% of overall AI chip sales. However, don't be surprised to see custom chips cornering a bigger share of the AI accelerator market as they are being deployed aggressively by hyperscalers and AI companies to lower operating costs.

On the other hand, Marvell also sells optical connectivity solutions, an area that's becoming the next bottleneck in AI infrastructure. Goldman Sachs expects the optical networking market to grow by a whopping 9x to $154 billion. What's more, the investment firm counts Marvell as a key player in this space, along with Nvidia and Broadcom.

All this explains why Marvell is forecasting its annualized revenue from datacenter interconnect (DCI) optical products to double between fiscal 2026 and 2028 to $1 billion. On the other hand, the annualized revenue of its switching products is expected to jump to $600 million in the current fiscal year, and then to more than $1 billion in the next one.

The custom AI processor business, meanwhile, is poised for some serious acceleration. Marvell expects 20% growth in this segment in the ongoing fiscal 2027. The beginning of new customer programs and more business from existing customers will drive an increase of more than 100% in Marvell's custom silicon revenue next year.

Why Marvell investors can expect more upside over the next three years Marvell expects 40% revenue growth in the ongoing fiscal year 2027 (which ends in January next year) to $11.5 billion. The growth rate is poised to accelerate next year, then slow slightly after two years.

Data by YCharts

However, Marvell's growth rate could easily outpace Wall Street's expectations in fiscal 2029 and accelerate further, especially given that large data center investments are unlikely to slow. Let's assume it can clock 50% revenue growth in fiscal 2029, Marvell's revenue will jump to $25 billion. If the stock trades at even 15 times sales at that time (nearly half its current sales multiple of 31), its market cap could reach $375 billion.

That suggests potential upside of 38% over the next three years. However, the massive growth potential in the optical networking space and the steady growth of the custom AI processor market could allow Marvell to clock stronger growth. As a result, Marvell could end up trading at a much higher sales multiple after three years than what I have assumed above, and that's going to pave the way for stronger upside in this AI stock.

There's a specific feeling that comes with watching a stock you believe in fall 20% in five days. It's not panic, exactly; it's more like the ground shifting beneath something you were certain about. The AI chip sector gave investors that feeling in the first week of June 2026. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 10.3% in a single session on June 5 -- its worst day since March 2020 -- wiping out more than $1.3 trillion in market value across the sector. Broadcom missed its AI revenue whisper number by roughly $1.2 billion. A stronger-than-expected jobs report killed hopes for a rate cut. Two data points, and suddenly a sector that had run 75% year to date looked fragile.

Marvell Technology's (MRVL 3.30%) stock price fell 20% over those two days. If you were holding it, that number landed like a punch. But the business underneath that number really didn't change at all. Most investors know Nvidia makes AI chips. Fewer know that Marvell makes the infrastructure that connects them.

When hyperscalers like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft build AI data centers, they need more than just GPUs. They need custom silicon -- application-specific chips designed from the ground up for their particular AI workloads -- and they need the networking fabric that moves data between thousands of chips at speeds that general-purpose hardware can't match. Marvell builds both.

Its custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) business is what the company calls its AI XPU platform. These are chips designed in partnership with specific cloud customers, purpose-built for their infrastructure. They can't be bought off a shelf. They can't be replicated without years of co-development work.

That exclusivity is the moat. At Computex 2026 in late May, Marvell CEO Matt Murphy delivered a keynote titled "The Future of AI Scaling Depends on Connectivity" -- and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, onstage alongside him, called Marvell a potential "next trillion-dollar company." That wasn't a throw-away comment from someone who chooses words carelessly.

The business behind the sell-off Marvell posted record revenue of $8.195 billion in fiscal 2026 (ended Jan. 31) -- a 42% year-over-year increase driven by data center growth that has now made AI the company's dominant segment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, revenue hit another record at $2.418 billion, with record operating cash flow. The company offered guidance for Q2 fiscal 2027 revenue of $2.7 billion, representing 35% year-over-year growth, and raised its revenue outlook for both fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028.

In late May, Marvell announced the industry's first 102.4 terabits-per-second switch built for AI and cloud data center infrastructure. To put that in terms that matter to a non-engineer: That's the speed at which AI systems inside the largest data centers can communicate with each other. As AI models grow larger and the compute clusters training them expand to thousands of chips, the bottleneck shifts from the chips themselves to the pipes between them. Marvell builds those pipes.

The sell-off had nothing to do with any of this. The company's custom silicon design wins hit an all-time record in fiscal 2026. Hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending commitments, which represent Marvell's demand base, total more than $725 billion in 2026 alone. The sell-off was about Broadcom's guidance and a macro data point. Marvell got caught in the current.

The risks worth knowing about Marvell's revenue is concentrated. If one major hyperscaler delays a custom chip program or decides to build that capability in-house, quarterly results move in a way that individual stockholders feel immediately. The stock also carries a premium valuation, reflecting expectations of continued execution at a pace most companies never sustain. Those are real concerns, and they don't disappear because the thesis is strong.

Also, keep in mind that over the last 12 months, Marvell surged approximately 322%, exploding from around $73 to a recent price of $310.58 per share. So invest and dollar-cost average appropriately. But to me, a 20% sell-off in a company that just raised its revenue guidance, whose CEO shared a stage with Jensen Huang for a keynote about the future of AI scaling, and that makes technology with no practical substitute in modern AI infrastructures, is a buying window.
