Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.

Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.

In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.

One stock to keep an eye on is Albertsons Companies (ACI - Free Report) . ACI is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 8.29. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 18.19. ACI's Forward P/E has been as high as 10.44 and as low as 7.46, with a median of 8.91, all within the past year.

We also note that ACI holds a PEG ratio of 1.66. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. ACI's industry has an average PEG of 2.69 right now. Over the last 12 months, ACI's PEG has been as high as 2.09 and as low as 0.93, with a median of 1.78.

Investors should also recognize that ACI has a P/B ratio of 3.11. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock's P/B looks solid versus its industry's average P/B of 5.33. ACI's P/B has been as high as 4.06 and as low as 3.11, with a median of 3.56, over the past year.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in Albertsons Companies's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, ACI looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.

Oppenheimer named Alphabet GOOG among its top stock picks while placing Meta Platforms META on its preferred sell list as part of its latest sector-by-sector recommendations.

The brokerage also identified Valero Energy VLO , Nucor NUE , Cboe Global Markets (CBOE), Digital Realty Trust (DLR) and Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) among its favored names across various sectors. On the sell side, Oppenheimer highlighted Expand Energy EXE , Mosaic (MOS), CDW Corporation CDW , Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) and Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE).

Separately, Oppenheimer maintained a constructive view on equities, saying the market's advance since the March low has been driven primarily by beta and momentum factors. The firm added that momentum continues to outperform within high-beta stocks despite recent market volatility.

Oppenheimer also pointed to improving market breadth and noted that the S&P 500 held its 50-day moving average following a roughly 5% pullback, which it said may support the case for another leg higher.

LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Graphic Packaging Holding Company, (“Graphic Packaging” or the "Company") (NYSE: GPK) investors of a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Graphic Packaging investors have until July 6, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 310-692-8883 or email: [email protected], to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/graphic-packaging-holding-company. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.

Graphic Packaging, together with its subsidiaries, designs, produces, and sells consumer packaging products. Its customers include businesses in the food, foodservice, beverage, household, and other consumer product industries in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. The Company sells its products through sales offices, as well as through broker arrangements with third parties.

At all relevant times, Defendants touted the purported strength and stability of Graphic Packaging's business model and operations, as well as its purported ability to deliver on its cost and inventory reduction, free cash flow (FCF"), and profitability goals, notwithstanding ongoing and persistent market headwinds challenging the Company's and its customers' businesses.

Indeed, in February 2025, despite its President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Defendant Michael P. Doss ("Doss"), acknowledging "unusual volume challenges for the industry and our customers" over the past several years, Graphic Packaging forecasted full year ("FY") 2025 net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion, $1.68 billion to $1.78 billion, and $2.53 to $2.78, respectively, excluding foreign exchange impacts. Defendant Doss attributed the Company's ability to weather the aforementioned headwinds to its overall business model and operations, asserting that Defendants would continue to "build on" the Company's "consisten[t]" and "profit[able]" and "strong and steady" results in 2025.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (ii) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on the Company's business and financial results; (iii) Defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of the Company's business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (iv) accordingly, the Company's previously issued FY 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (v) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The Portnoy Law Firm represents investors in pursuing claims caused by corporate wrongdoing. The Firm’s founding partner has recovered over $5.5 billion for aggrieved investors. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming July 6, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Graphic Packaging Holding Company (“Graphic Packaging” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPK) securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR GRAPHIC PACKAGING INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On May 1, 2025, Graphic Packaging released its first quarter 2025 financial results, reporting non-GAAP EPS of $0.51, missing consensus estimates by $0.07, and revenue of $2.12 billion, representing a 6.2% year-over-year decline, and missing consensus estimates by $10 million. Further, the Company significantly lowered its previously issued 2025 guidance due to “an expectation of a 2% volume decline and $80 million of input cost inflation at the midpoint”, as well as “higher macroeconomic and consumer spending uncertainty.”

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $3.94, or 15.6%, to close at $21.37 per share on May 1, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on December 8, 2025, Graphic Packaging disclosed that it planned to “accelerate certain inventory reduction plans into the fourth quarter that were originally planned for 2026”, and that “[p]roduction curtailment is expected to impact fourth quarter operating results by $15 million.” The Company also further lowered its 2025 guidance. The same day, the Company also announced that its President and CEO had “mutually agreed with [its] Board of Directors to step down from his role.”

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $1.35, or 8.7%, to close at $14.23 per share on December 9, 2025.

Then, on February 3, 2026, Graphic Packaging released its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, missing consensus estimates due to lower volumes, increased costs, and inventory reduction.

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $2.36, or 16%, to close at $12.42 per share on February 3, 2026, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results; (3) Defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of the Company’s business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, the Company’s previously issued FY 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Graphic Packaging securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 6, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 6, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

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

What to do next: To join the Graphic Packaging class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Graphic Packaging's business and financial results; (3) defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of Graphic Packaging's business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, Graphic Packaging's previously issued full year 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Graphic Packaging class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Graphic Packaging Holding Company Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the Graphic Packaging securities fraud lawsuit about?

The Graphic Packaging securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors by concealing significant inventory management issues, reduced demand and volumes, and increased costs, while overstating the strength and sustainability of the Company's business model and issuing unreliable financial guidance. As the truth emerged through a series of disclosures - including a May 1, 2025 Q1 earnings miss and sweeping downward revision to FY 2025 guidance, a December 8, 2025 announcement of accelerated inventory reductions, further guidance cuts, and the CEO's departure, and a February 3, 2026 Q4 earnings miss accompanied by a projected meaningful decline in 2026 adjusted EBITDA and the launch of a comprehensive business review - GPK's stock price fell sharply across each disclosure, causing significant cumulative losses for investors.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment in the Graphic Packaging lawsuit?

Any Graphic Packaging investor who purchased GPK stock during the Class Period may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice. The deadline to seek lead plaintiff appointment is July 6, 2026.

Key Takeaways CRDO and AVGO are both AI connectivity plays, but differ sharply on scale, agility and strategy.CRDO's AEC business is gaining hyperscaler traction, with optical revenues projected above $600M.AVGO's AI semiconductor revenues hit $10.8B, driven by demand for XPUs and networking. The explosive AI infrastructure buildout has put the spotlight on semiconductor companies as the reshaping of the data center connectivity landscape is creating massive demand for high-speed interconnect and optical solutions.

Both Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (CRDO - Free Report) and Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) are beneficiaries of this cycle. While both companies operate in the same space, their positioning, scale and strategies differ significantly.

Broadcom is a diversified semiconductor and infrastructure software giant, while Credo specializes in high-speed connectivity solutions, including integrated circuits (ICs), retimers, optical DSPs, Active Electrical Cables (AECs), SerDes chiplets and SerDes IP licensing.

For investors, the choice between these two companies is not straightforward, as Broadcom offers scale and profitability while Credo brings agility and innovation. 
Let us break down the fundamentals, valuations, growth outlook and risks for each company to determine which stock stands out.

CRDO: Fast-Emerging PlayerCredo is one of the major beneficiaries of the exploding demand for AI infrastructure. As AI clusters scale into the hundreds of thousands of GPUs and push toward million-GPU configurations, reliability, signal integrity, latency and power efficiency, total cost of ownership has become mission-critical. Credo’s architecture (purpose-built SerDes technology, sound IC design and a system-level development approach) is tailored to meet these demands.  

CRDO’s AEC business sits at the core of its growth narrative, playing an increasingly critical role in AI-driven networking deployments. Credo’s hyperscaler traction is central to its AEC strength. Four hyperscalers each contributed more than 10% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting strong adoption of Credo’s high-reliability AEC solutions. Beyond the traditional hyperscalers, Credo is also seeing increasing demand from emerging Neocloud providers.

In addition to AEC, CRDO is now focusing on the IC portfolio (retimers and DSPs). The company expects mid-single-digit sequential growth in the first half of fiscal 2027, followed by a stronger second-half acceleration buoyed by its optical portfolio. Management projects more than $600 million in optical revenues, with ZeroFlap optics, silicon photonics PICs and optical DSPs each contributing more than $100 million. This is expected to support more than 80% year-over-year revenue growth for the full year. Fiscal 2026 revenues exceeded $1.3 billion and rose 206% year over year.

The acquisition of Dust Photonics strengthens Credo’s high-speed optical connectivity portfolio with silicon photonics PIC technology. The deal adds advanced technology, including 800G and 1.6T solutions, and would aid in developing upcoming 3.2T solutions.

Credo remains on track for PCIe Gen6 AEC solutions and is witnessing strengthening customer engagement and design activity. Retimer momentum is also improving across 100G and 200G per lane, alongside customer traction for PCIe Gen6 retimers. Blue Heron supports Ethernet, UALink and ESUN for emerging scale-out and scale-up networks. Management expects initial CPO and NPO revenues from DustPhotonics in fiscal 2028. It also expects production ramps for Active LED Cables and OmniConnect in fiscal 2028.

As revenue scales, Credo is beginning to show signs of operating leverage. Gross margins have been improving, and the company is moving closer to sustained profitability. For fiscal 2026, the company reported a non-GAAP gross margin of 68.1%, improving 310 basis points year over year, while operating margins expanded significantly to 47.8%. For fiscal 2027, gross margins are projected to stay in line with fiscal 2026 levels, while non-GAAP net margins are expected to remain around 50%, even as the company continues to invest in R&D.

Another positive is Credo’s balance sheet flexibility and disciplined capital strategy. The company emphasized that it has no immediate plans to raise additional capital or initiate share buybacks, instead focusing on maintaining flexibility for further M&A.

However, the path ahead is not without challenges. Macroeconomic uncertainties and exposure to the AI investment cycle amid increasing market competition are concerning. Customer concentration is high, with the top three customers representing 34%, 27% and 16% of revenues. Credo continues to expect that three to four customers will account for more than 10% of revenues in the upcoming quarters.

Further, fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 non-GAAP operating expenses were $81.7 million, above the guided range, and first-quarter fiscal 2027 non-GAAP operating expenses are forecasted to be $86-$90 million. Increasing expenses could pressure margins if revenue growth falters.

AVGO: Established GiantBroadcom is one of the giants in the semiconductor space, with deep integration across AI infrastructure. The company’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues of $22.2 billion jumped 48% year over year, driven largely by AI semiconductors. AI semiconductor revenues reached $10.8 billion, surging 143% year over year, reflecting what management described as “insatiable” demand for XPUs and networking.

Broadcom expects AI semiconductor revenues to reach $56 billion in fiscal 2026 and exceed $100 billion in 2027. Long-term partnerships with major AI players, including Google, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic bode well. 

For OpenAI, AVGO has a contractual commitment to deploy 1.3 gigawatts in 2027 as part of the wider 10-gigawatt agreement by 2029. AVGO announced an agreement with Meta in April under which it would deliver multiple generations of MTIA XPUs and deploy 3 gigawatts by 2028.

Further, networking remains a key pillar of Broadcom’s AI strategy. The company noted that networking accounted for nearly 40% of the AI revenues in the fiscal second quarter.

Broadcom expects revenues of approximately $29.4 billion, indicating 84% year-over-year growth for the current quarter. The company is well-placed to gain from the demand for high-speed Ethernet switching and co-packaged optics solutions. AVGO is deeply embedded in both scale-up and scale-out architectures.

Beyond revenues, profitability is a key differentiator. Broadcom delivered operating margins of approximately 67% and adjusted EBITDA margins near 69%, supported by operating leverage. The company also generated $10.3 billion in free cash flow in the quarter, representing 46% of revenues, enabling significant shareholder returns through cash dividends ($3.1 billion paid in the fiscal second quarter).

However, management continues to expect that consolidated gross margins will continue to be influenced by the revenue mix between infrastructure software and semiconductors. Gross margin for the current quarter is expected to be down to roughly 74% compared with 77.1% reported in the previous quarter.

Increasing expenses, heavy leverage and hyperscaler dependence are additional concerns. As of May 3, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $19.6 billion, against long term debt of $62.7 billion.

CRDO or AVGO: Which Is a Better Pick

Truly great companies have an uncanny ability to evolve and expand, replicating what made them successful at one thing, and turning that into excellence at something else. Axon Enterprise (AXON 1.76%) made its name with TASER, a non-lethal electric weapon used by law enforcement to incapacitate suspects. Then it expanded into body cameras, dominating the U.S. market.

Now Axon is taking to the skies. The company has entered the law enforcement drone and robotics market, which it estimates is a $20 billion opportunity. It's a perfect fit into what has become a hardware ecosystem, tied together by Axon's cloud software offerings.

Here's why this new opportunity makes Axon stock a buy, especially while it is trading 49% below its August 2025 all-time high.

The war in Iran is putting drones on the map at home The war in Iran showcased drones as a major player in modern warfare. In today's digital world, there are countless videos and articles about how drones are becoming a primary tool in battle. The war also illustrates how difficult drones can be to defend against, opening up security vulnerabilities that U.S. law enforcement could invest more in to address.

Axon has already spent years laying the foundation for its drone business. It partnered with Skydio in 2021 to sell its drones through Axon Air, the company's comprehensive drone hardware and software solution. Axon then acquired Dedrone in late 2024, a leader in smart airspace security and counter-drone systems. It's fantastic timing, positioning Axon to supply the technology to protect stadiums and other public spaces that may be susceptible to hostile drones.

Drones are an obvious win for a company that already has exciting growth prospects Axon already works extensively with most public agencies throughout the United States. Having that existing relationship makes cross-selling much easier. For example, Axon has started offering artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Revenue from AI grew by over 700% in the first quarter of 2026.

The key advantage here is that Axon sells both the hardware and the software that ties everything together. It's a complete ecosystem at this point, and drones are just as simple a tie-in, just as body cameras were after agencies were already using TASER. Axon's future bookings currently stand at $14.3 billion, near its all-time high from the prior quarter, and customers have a net revenue retention rate of 125%, meaning existing customers continue to spend more.

Wall Street analysts currently estimate the company will grow earnings by an average of 30% annually over the next three to five years. Axon's 4% decline has dropped the stock's valuation to about 54 times 2026 earnings estimates. That's still quite a lofty earnings multiple, but it's a price worth paying given the company's strong growth outlook.

The questions in our inbox have gotten louder lately. Are we reliving 1999?  Has the tech rally reached the dangerous ‘Euphoria’ bubble stage we first discussed in our 2026 Outlook? And is the recent surge in initial public offerings (IPOs)— led by SpaceX on Friday— diluting existing holders just as valuations were already drawing scrutiny?

We understand the concern. With the Iran war keeping energy prices elevated and interest rates stubbornly high, this is not a risk-free environment for growth assets…as the recent volatility in the Nasdaq demonstrates. But despite those potential headwinds, we remain overweight US technology in our portfolios. Here’s why.

This Isn’t 1999 — At Least Not Yet, According to Valuation

In the late 1990s, technology stocks were priced for perfection, on top of fundamentals that were anything but perfect. Today, the picture looks materially different to us on two key dimensions: valuation and earnings quality. Chart 1 below tells the story clearly: the MSCI USA Information Technology Index currently trades around 23x forward earnings, versus 40x at the peak of the dot-com bubble. This current valuation represents only a ~10% valuation premium to the S&P 500, despite much stronger revenue and earnings growth for tech. Critically, profit margins have moved in the opposite direction — over 26% today versus 13% in 1999. You’re paying a lot less in 2026 for better businesses.

Yes, tech valuations are sensitive to rising interest rates — higher rates compress the multiples warranted for long-duration growth assets, all else remaining equal. If the Iran conflict continues driving energy-related inflation and forces rates higher still, valuation headwinds are real. We’re watching this closely.  But last week’s softer-than-expected core CPI print — which suggests underlying inflation ex-energy may be better behaved than feared — provides some reassurance that the rate picture isn’t uniformly bleak. Given the soft unit labor costs discussed in last week’s Weekly View, we believe that the core inflation story is more moderate than feared.

The #1 ‘Tell’ for When to Leave the Party is Cash Flow— No Warning Signal Here Yet, In Our View If valuation is the warning light on the dashboard, free cash flow is the engine itself. In our view, the single most important early warning signal for when an equity bubble may burst is the divergence between reported earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and free cash flow — when reported profits race well ahead of actual cash generation, it’s a sign that hype is outrunning fundamentals.

Source: LSEG Datastream, RiverFront. Data monthly as of June 11, 2026. Chart shown for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is no indication of future results.

Look at the left panel of the cash flow chart (Chart 2, right). Towards the end of the 1995–2001 ‘Tech Mania’ phase, EBIT (blue line) continued to climb sharply while free cash flow (green line) lagged — the classic signature of deteriorating earnings quality. Now look at the right panel: today, free cash flow is running above EBIT across the US technology sector — approaching $1 trillion on an annualized basis, x times 2000’s tally — and continues to do so consistently. That is the opposite of a bubble signal. It tells us that tech’s reported earnings are being validated by actual cash coming in the door. Until that relationship inverts, we believe the fundamentals support staying invested in mega-cap, high cash flow tech shares.

On the IPO Supply Question: We Believe US Indices Can Handle It A word on the equity supply concern: we’re less worried than some. The US equity market is the deepest, most liquid stock market in the world; we expect it to be able to absorb supply shocks without structural damage. With $77 trillion in the broad Russell 3000 and $65T in the more widely followed S&P 500, SpaceX’s expected $75B issuance represents a small fraction of the market’s capitalization… especially when considering ~$8T of liquidity sitting in money markets. And while IPO issuance is heating up, from a historical perspective it is less extreme – roughly 100 expected IPOs this year compares to 250 in 2021 and 400 in 1999, according to Goldman Sachs. Furthermore, Goldman expects buybacks and M&A to more than offset new equity supply in the US this year.

The Nasdaq overlay chart below is instructive — if history rhymes, the current AI-era tech bull market (orange line) may still have significant runway ahead before reaching a 1999-style apex (blue line). But “significant runway” doesn’t mean “straight up.” Regular pullbacks — like the -5% drawdown day in the Nasdaq on June 5— are healthy. They bleed off excessive optimism before it becomes euphoria.  Instead of the price chart, watch the cash flow chart. The day free cash flow begins to meaningfully trail EBIT across the technology sector — the way it did in 1999 and 2000 — is the day to start considering underweight tech. That signal will matter more to us than any individual valuation multiple or macro headline. But for now, that signal is not flashing. The party continues — and we intend to stay for a while.

Stocks represent partial ownership of a corporation. If the corporation does well, its value increases, and investors share in the appreciation. However, if it goes bankrupt, or performs poorly, investors can lose their entire initial investment (i.e., the stock price can go to zero).  Bonds represent a loan made by an investor to a corporation or government.  As such, the investor gets a guaranteed interest rate for a specific period of time and expects to get their original investment back at the end of that time period, along with the interest earned. Investment risk is repayment of the principal (amount invested). In the event of a bankruptcy or other corporate disruption, bonds are senior to stocks.  Investors should be aware of these differences prior to investing.

In general, the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa). This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities). Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Lower-quality fixed income securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, and economic risks. Any fixed-income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Technology and Internet-related stocks, especially of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market.

On April 21, 2026, after the market closed, Calix reported results for the first quarter of 2026 earnings, including that “[n]on-GAAP gross margin was 57.2%, a decrease of 80 basis points sequentially.”  Further, the Company reported gross margin guidance for the second quarter of 2026 is “55.8% (at the midpoint) is down 140 basis points from the previous quarter.  This decline is primarily due the increase in memory component costs.”  In an accompanying earnings call on the same day, Calix’s Chief Financial Officer, Cory Sindelar, said that “advanced purchasing had allowed us to avoid higher memory component costs during the first quarter.  However, that advanced supply has run its course, and we now face market prices.” Sindelar further revealed that, “reflecting the effects of higher memory component costs,” “[f]or the year, we expect our non-GAAP gross margin to decline between 50 and 150 basis points.” 

On this news, Calix’s stock price fell $6.93 per share, or 13.98%, to close at $42.65 per share on April 22, 2026.

Key Takeaways CRGY's stronger execution and firmer free cash flow outlook make its value case clearer.Crescent expects about $1B of 2026 levered free cash flow to support dividends and buybacks.Crescent delivered record first-quarter production and captured about $120M in Vital Energy synergies. Crescent Energy Company (CRGY - Free Report) presents a clearer value case after stronger operating execution and a firmer free cash flow outlook.

The stock is not without risk, especially given its debt profile and commodity exposure. Still, valuation, earnings momentum and shareholder-return capacity make the setup more constructive for investors willing to accept energy-sector volatility.

CRGY’s Valuation Looks Hard to Ignore

CRGY’s valuation remains one of the strongest parts of the investment case. The stock trades at 6.1 times trailing earnings and 4.4 times forward earnings, suggesting investors are not paying much for the company’s current earnings base.

The forward PEG ratio of 0.2 and price-to-sales ratio of 1 also point to an inexpensive profile. That combination may appeal more to value-focused investors than those looking for a pure growth story.

Crescent’s Earnings Picture Is Improving

Crescent’s earnings setup has improved as operating results have come in ahead of expectations. The company posted first-quarter 2026 EPS of 53 cents, representing a 35.9% surprise versus the consensus mark.

Estimate momentum is also moving in the right direction. The fiscal-year earnings estimate has risen 0.6% over the past four weeks, while the stock carries an Earnings ESP of +4.70%, suggesting expectations may still have room to edge higher.

CRGY’s Free Cash Flow Supports Returns

The free cash flow outlook gives the stock a more tangible shareholder-return angle. Crescent expects roughly $1 billion of 2026 levered free cash flow at current commodity prices.

That cash flow supports the company’s quarterly dividend, share repurchases and selective acquisitions. It also gives investors a reason to look beyond near-term oil, natural gas and NGL price swings.

Crescent Has Execution Momentum

The investment case is not based only on cheap multiples. Crescent delivered record first-quarter production of 341 MBoe/d, supported by stronger operational execution and improved cycle times.

Image Source: Crescent Energy Company

The Vital Energy integration is also progressing ahead of plan. Crescent has captured approximately $120 million in synergies, added lateral footage to its 2026 development plan and reduced well costs by more than $500,000 per well compared with the prior operator.

CRGY’s Debt Keeps the Call From Being Easy

Debt remains the main reason the bullish case is not straightforward. Crescent has a sizable debt load, and weaker oil, natural gas or NGL prices could pressure cash flow and limit financial flexibility.

That risk matters in a cyclical industry. Investors comparing CRGY with EOG Resources (EOG - Free Report) or Diamondback Energy (FANG - Free Report) may view those larger exploration and production names as cleaner ways to play U.S. shale, even if CRGY’s valuation screens more compelling.

Crescent’s Ratings Back a Value Thesis

The bottom line is that CRGY looks attractive for investors focused on valuation, free cash flow and improving execution, but it is not a low-risk, all-weather energy holding. The stock’s appeal rests on the market recognizing better cash generation while Crescent continues to manage leverage.

CRGY currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). It also has a Value Score of A, VGM Score of A, Momentum Score of B and Growth Score of D.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Those scores fit the investment setup. The Value Score of A and VGM Score of A reinforce the undervaluation argument, while the Momentum Score of B adds support to the near-term case. The Growth Score of D, however, underscores that the stock’s appeal is more about cash flow, valuation and execution than high-growth expansion.

Demonstration validates Matter readiness for commercial buildings, smart homes and next-generation IoT deployments using concurrent multiprotocol technology

, /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), the leading innovator in low-power wireless connectivity, today announced the successful deployment and operation of a 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network, demonstrating the scalability, reliability and performance of Matter for large-scale smart building, commercial IoT and next-generation smart home applications.

The map of Matter over Thread nodes placed around Silicon Labs' Boston office.

A Silicon Labs Matter Test Network node cluster. Announced at the Connectivity Standards Alliance's (CSA) inaugural Unify event, this highlights a key evolution in the Matter ecosystem: the industry is moving beyond proving interoperability and toward demonstrating scalability for real-world deployments. Silicon Labs' 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network provides evidence that Matter can support the larger, more complex environments expected in commercial buildings, multi-dwelling units and next-generation smart home installations.

"Matter is rapidly evolving from a smart home technology into a platform capable of supporting much larger deployments," said Daniel Cooley, Chief Technology Officer at Silicon Labs. "This work demonstrates not only that Matter-over-Thread can theoretically scale to thousands of devices, but also how Silicon Labs is helping customers deploy, manage and future-proof those networks through innovations spanning Matter, Thread, and Concurrent Multiprotocol technologies."

Largest Public Validation Network Demonstrates Matter Scalability for Industrial and Commercial Applications

Believed to be among the largest publicly documented Matter-over-Thread performance test networks to date, the deployment was designed to evaluate how Matter performs as networks expand beyond traditional residential use cases. Unlike a controlled laboratory simulation, the network operated across Silicon Labs' Boston Connectivity Lab and office environment, with devices distributed throughout the facility and exposed to real-world wireless conditions including active Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and Thread traffic. The network tested multicast messaging, unicast communications, commissioning workflows and long-term network stability under deployment-like conditions.

The validation effort reflects Silicon Labs' ongoing commitment to advancing the Matter ecosystem and helping device manufacturers confidently deploy Matter-enabled products at scale. As one of the industry's leading contributors to Matter, Silicon Labs provides wireless SoCs, software, development tools Thread Border Routers based on the OpenThread implementation, certification resources and ecosystem support that help developers accelerate Matter adoption from concept through production.

The results come as the Matter ecosystem continues to mature and expand. Silicon Labs supports the latest Matter specifications, including Matter 1.6 capabilities that broaden device interoperability, expand supported device categories and enable new smart home and smart building experiences. Through its comprehensive Matter portfolio, Silicon Labs helps developers build products that work seamlessly across major ecosystems while simplifying development, certification and deployment.

Key findings from the 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network include:

Successful deployment and sustained operation of a 200-node Matter-over-Thread network in a real-world office environment. 100% commissioning success using on-network commissioning. Reliable multicast and multi-hop unicast communications with mean multicast latencies as low as 87 ms and less than 1% packet loss across most payload sizes. Consistent operation despite active Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread traffic, with no specialized topology engineering required. Validation that Matter-over-Thread can support commercial-scale lighting, building automation and large IoT deployments. Silicon Labs OpenThread Border Router and Concurrent Multiprotocol Technology Provide Stable Matter Foundation

The 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network was built using the OpenThread Border Router (OTBR) implementation, which provided the Thread network infrastructure used to commission and manage devices participating in the test. As Matter-over-Thread deployments scale, Border Routers play a critical role in securely connecting Thread devices to controllers, cloud services and broader IP networks. Silicon Labs provides developers with OTBR solutions and development resources that help simplify deployment of large Matter networks.

The results also reinforce the value of Silicon Labs' leadership in Concurrent Multiprotocol (CMP), a technology pioneered by Silicon Labs that enables devices to simultaneously support multiple wireless protocols on a single radio. CMP enables support for both Zigbee and Matter-over-Thread networks within the same device, helping manufacturers simplify migrations while preserving compatibility with existing deployments and future-proofing product portfolios.

This capability allows manufacturers to support current customer installations while preparing for future Matter adoption, reducing development complexity, streamlining inventory management and enabling a smoother transition between ecosystems. Silicon Labs supports CMP across its latest wireless platforms, including MG26 and Series 3 devices, helping developers build interoperable products that span multiple wireless ecosystems.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2026) - Kuehn Law, PLLC, a shareholder litigation law firm, is investigating whether certain officers and directors of Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KD) breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders.

According to a federal securities lawsuit, Kyndryl Holdings misrepresented or failed to disclose that: (1) certain members of executive management engaged in systematic manipulation of the Company's free cash flow metrics through the deliberate postponement of vendor payments from one fiscal quarter to the next; (2) as a consequence thereof, Kyndryl falsely represented its reported free cash flow metrics as indicative of the quality and long-term sustainability of its earnings and revenue growth, when in reality such cash generation was contingent upon undisclosed and inherently unsustainable cash management practices; (3) the Company's procedures governing financial disclosures, its accounting methodologies, and its internal controls over financial reporting were materially inadequate and deficient; and (4) by reason of the foregoing, Kyndryl's business operations, financial condition, and prospects for achieving profitable growth were materially worse than had been publicly represented to investors.

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at M/A-Com (MTSI - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. M/A-Com currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for MTSI that show why this chipmaker shows promise as a solid momentum pick.

A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For MTSI, shares are up 9.98% over the past week while the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry is up 4.23% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 8.01% compares favorably with the industry's 8.22% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of M/A-Com have increased 67.83% over the past quarter, and have gained 193.33% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 14.27% and 27.78%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of MTSI's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now MTSI is averaging 1,577,257 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with MTSI.

Over the past two months, 7 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost MTSI's consensus estimate, increasing from $4.40 to $4.93 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 5 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that MTSI is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep M/A-Com on your short list.

Key Takeaways BEAM stock rose 21% over the past three months, driven by positive BEAM-302 phase I/II data in AATD.BEAM plans an accelerated approval path for BEAM-302 and expects to initiate a global cohort in H2 2026.BEAM ended Q1 2026 with about $1.2B in cash. Funding is expected to support operations into mid-2029. Shares of Beam Therapeutics (BEAM - Free Report) have risen 21% over the past three months against the industry’s 4.5% decline, primarily driven by positive clinical developments. Investor sentiment has also been bolstered by rapid regulatory progress across the company’s pipeline, strengthening confidence in its base-editing platform and in its strong financial position.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Strong Clinical Data From BEAM-302An important catalyst behind the stock’s rally has been the encouraging early data announced in late March from an ongoing phase I/II dose-escalation study evaluating its pipeline candidate, BEAM-302, for the treatment of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), across multiple dose levels. BEAM-302 is a liver-targeting lipid-nanoparticle formulation of base editing reagents designed to correct the disease-causing PiZ mutation.

The study demonstrated that BEAM-302 produced durable increases in functional AAT levels, significant reductions in mutant Z-AAT and the generation of corrected M-AAT, with a favorable safety profile across single doses up to 75 mg.

BEAM plans to advance BEAM-302 via an accelerated approval pathway, based on a primary endpoint of AAT biomarkers evaluated for more than 12 months, with the 60 mg selected as the optimal biological dose for further development.

To support a future biologics license application (BLA), the company anticipates enrolling approximately 50 additional patients with AATD-related lung disease, with or without liver involvement, by expanding its ongoing open-label phase I/II study. BEAM expects to initiate the global cohort in the second half of 2026.

Multiple Upcoming Pipeline CatalystsBeyond BEAM-302, investors have become increasingly optimistic about BEAM's broader pipeline. The company remains on track to submit a BLA for risto-cel, its investigational sickle cell disease therapy, by the end of 2026.

Beam Therapeutics is also expanding its genetic disease pipeline by developing BEAM-301 for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a in a phase I/II dose-exploration study. Initial data from the study are expected in 2026.

The company expanded its liver-targeted genetic disease franchise with BEAM-304 for the treatment of phenylketonuria and plans to file an investigational new drug application with the FDA in 2026.

Dosing in the ongoing phase I healthy volunteer study, evaluating BEAM-103, an anti-CD117 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of SCD, is expected to be completed in 2026.

BEAM’s Strong Financial PositionBeam has historically maintained a large cash runway, which reassures investors that it can fund ongoing clinical development without near-term dilution concerns.

The company reported approximately $1.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter of 2026. Management expects its cash position, including the initial $100 million received and an anticipated additional $100 million under its financing agreement with Sixth Street, to support operations into mid-2029.

BEAM’s Zacks Rank & Stocks to ConsiderBeam Therapeutics currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
