First-Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights
Revenue increased 24% year over year, or 21% on a constant-currency basis, exceeding expectations due to broad-based strength across major end markets. Operating margin was 22.3%; Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 26.9%, expanding 1,010 basis points year over year and marking the seventh consecutive quarter of margin improvement. Net income per diluted share was $0.31; Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.34 increased 113% year over year, representing the seventh straight quarter of growth. Returned $113 million to shareholders in Q1 primarily through opportunistic share repurchases. Advancing AI vision innovation: introduced two breakthrough AI vision platforms – the In‑Sight® 6900 powered by NVIDIA and the In‑Sight® 3900 embedded AI vision system powered by Qualcomm. Successfully completed the divestiture of the Japan‑focused trading business as part of the announced portfolio optimization. "Since the CEO transition was announced a year ago, we've moved with urgency to focus our strategy, strengthen execution, and position Cognex for sustainable, profitable growth," said Matt Moschner, President and CEO. "This was evident in Q1, highlighted by the launch of two breakthrough AI vision systems, the completion of the trading business divestiture and continued execution toward our announced cost reduction target. We believe that this progress is clearly reflected in our Q1 results, with an exceptional start to the year and broad‑based outperformance during the quarter."
Mr. Moschner continued, "Our latest AI vision products reinforce our technology leadership and objective of becoming the #1 provider of AI‑powered machine vision. By combining our industry-leading AI vision tools with high-performance embedded systems and the scalability of OneVision™, we're enabling customers to solve more complex inspection challenges at the edge – faster, easier, and without the cost and complexity of PC-based architectures."
Dennis Fehr, CFO, added, "Our strong Q1 performance reflects disciplined execution and continued progress against our profitable growth strategy. As we continue to transform our operating model, we expect to drive higher productivity, support sustainable margin expansion, and reinforce our commitment to creating long‑term shareholder value."

1Cognex has provided the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share (diluted), but cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast such items to present or provide a reconciliation to corresponding forecasted GAAP measures. These include special items such as reorganization charges, acquisition and integration charges, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, all of which are subject to limitations in predictability of timing, ultimate outcome and numerous conditions outside of Cognex's control. Additionally, these items are outside of Cognex's normal business operations and not used by management to assess Cognex's operating results. Cognex believes these limitations would result in a range of projected values so broad as to not be meaningful to investors. For these reasons, Cognex believes that the probable significance of such information is low. Information with respect to special items for certain historical periods is included in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Selected Items From GAAP to Non-GAAP". In Q2 2025 the GAAP operating margin was 17.4% and GAAP earnings per share (diluted) were $0.24.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit and margin, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted EBITDA and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share of common stock, diluted, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow and free cash flow conversion rate. Cognex defines its non-GAAP metrics as follows:
Adjusted gross profit and margin: Gross margin adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events. Adjusted operating expense: Operating expense adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events. Adjusted operating income and margin: Operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events. Adjusted EBITDA and margin: Operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and depreciation, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs and one-time discrete events. Adjusted net income: Net income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, reorganization charges, acquisition and integration costs, discrete tax items, tax impact on reconciling items and one-time discrete events (such as loss on sale of business). Adjusted earnings per share of common stock, diluted: Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common and common-equivalent shares. Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate adjusted for discrete tax items and the net impact of the other non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow: Cash provided by operating activities less cash for capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion rate: Free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. Cognex may disclose results on a constant-currency basis as one measure to evaluate its performance and compare results between periods as if the exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period.
Cognex believes these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful because they allow investors to more accurately compare results over multiple periods using the same methodology that management employs in its budgeting process, in its review of operating results, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. Cognex's definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Furthermore, these measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain non-recurring expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Please see the section "Reconciliation of Selected Items from GAAP to Non-GAAP" below for more detailed information regarding non-GAAP financial measures herein, including the items reflected in our adjusted financial metrics and a description of these adjustments.

Description of adjustments:
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides various non-GAAP measures that incorporate adjustments for the impacts of special items. Adjustments incorporated in the preparation of these non-GAAP measures for the periods presented include the items described below:
Depreciation:
The company incurs expense related to its normal use of property, plant and equipment. Acquisition and integration costs:
The Company has incurred charges related to the purchase and integration of acquired businesses. During the periods presented, these costs were primarily related to the ongoing integration of Moritex Corporation, which the company acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets:
The Company excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets from non-GAAP expense and income measures. These items are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, and include the amortization of customer relationships, completed technologies, and trademarks that originated from prior acquisitions. The largest driver of intangible asset amortization was the acquisition of Moritex Corporation. Reorganization charges:
The Company has incurred charges related to the reorganization of its employees. During the three-month period ended April 5, 2026, these costs consisted primarily of severance and consulting fees. Loss on sale of business:
The Company has recognized a pre-tax loss related to the divestiture of its Japan-focused trading business, which includes direct costs associated with the divestiture incurred during the three-month period ended April 5, 2026. Discrete tax (benefit) expense and tax impact of reconciling items:
Items unrelated to current period ordinary income or (loss) that generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to prior period's actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions, establishments and adjustments of valuation allowances, stock based compensation, and adjustments to deferred tax positions. We estimate the tax effect of items identified in the reconciliation by applying the statutory tax rate to the pre-tax amount. About Cognex Corporation

Key Takeaways CGNX beats Q1 estimates with $268M revenues (24% y/y) and 34 cents adjusted EPS.CGNX demand improved in electronics, semiconductor, packaging and logistics.CGNX launched In-Sight 6900/3900 AI vision systems and guided Q2 revenues of $280-$300M. Cognex (CGNX - Free Report) came up with a solid first-quarter 2026 earnings beat, reflecting broad-based factory automation strength and continued momentum in logistics. Adjusted earnings of 34 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 36%. The company had reported earnings of 16 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues came in at $268 million, up 24% year over year and beat the consensus mark by 9.84%.
CGNX Sees Strength Across Key End MarketsCognex said demand improved across major end markets, led by electronics, semiconductor and packaging, while logistics posted its ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Management pointed to Purchasing Managers’ Index readings in expansion territory as supportive of the near-term demand environment.
At the same time, management emphasized that Cognex remains a short-cycle business with limited visibility, especially into the second half. The company cited macro and geopolitical uncertainties that it continues to monitor, including energy costs, memory availability and pricing, and shifting interest-rate expectations.
Cognex Pushes AI With New In-Sight SystemsCognex highlighted two new embedded AI vision systems, In-Sight 6900 and In-Sight 3900, as key strategic milestones in advancing its edge-to-cloud AI vision ecosystem. Management said both systems are built on the same In-Sight Vision Suite Software platform and integrate with OneVision to support scalable AI deployments.
The company positioned In-Sight 6900 as a flexible controller for demanding, compute-intensive inspection applications, while describing In-Sight 3900 as a fast, easy-to-use embedded AI vision system designed to simplify advanced inspections. Cognex emphasized that these launches strengthen its presence in a significant portion of its served market and reinforce its goal of being the top provider of AI-powered machine vision.
CGNX Expands Margins on Mix and Operating LeverageThe company’s margin performance benefited from a favorable mix and volume, with adjusted gross margin rising 420 basis points (bps) year over year to 71.8%, despite a modest tariff headwind.
On costs, adjusted operating expenses rose 9% year over year to $125.1 million, reflecting higher incentive compensation and commissions tied to outperformance, as well as higher stock-based compensation. Management noted continued progress on cost actions, including reorganization charges of $4.8 million that were excluded from adjusted operating expense, and reiterated confidence in reaching its $35 million to $40 million annualized net cost reduction target by the end of 2026 (excluding forex).
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.9% for the reported quarter compared with 16.8% reported in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted operating margin improved to 25.2% from 14.4% reported in the year-ago quarter.
Cognex Leans on Cash Generation and Shareholder ReturnsCognex ended the quarter with $622 million in cash and investments and no debt, keeping financial flexibility intact. Cash generation remained a key support, with trailing 12-month free cash flow conversion reported at 119% of adjusted net income.
Capital returns were also meaningful. Cognex returned $113 million to shareholders in the quarter, including $99 million of share repurchases and $14 million in dividends, and declared a quarterly dividend of 8.5 cents per share to be paid out on June 4 to holders of record as of May 21.
CGNX Issues Q2 Guidance, Explains Timing and BaselinesFor the second quarter, Cognex guided revenues in the range of $280-$300 million and adjusted earnings of 40-44 cents per share.
The company also forecast adjusted EBITDA margin of 28%-31%, framing the outlook around continued strength in broader factory automation markets and logistics, along with a seasonal step-up in consumer electronics.
Portfolio optimization actions, including the divestiture of the Japan-focused trading business and other noncore exits, are expected to reduce revenues by about $5 million in the second quarter and each of the next three quarters. The company also expects about $7 million of consumer electronics orders to shift into the second quarter from the third quarter due to customer timing, while the third quarter faces a $13 million year-over-year headwind from a one-time commercial partnership benefit recorded last year.

Customers report faster deployment, improved throughput, and new levels of collaboration
, /PRNewswire/ -- Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX), the global leader in industrial machine vision, today announced the general availability of OneVision™, its collaborative AI vision development environment designed to simplify and scale AI-powered inspection across manufacturing operations.
Cognex OneVision: collaborative AI vision, at scale Since its beta launch in June 2025, more than 100 customers worldwide have used OneVision to accelerate AI-powered vision development and deployment, with many progressing from single-line applications to multi-site rollouts in days instead of months. This momentum reflects a broader shift as manufacturers move beyond isolated AI pilots toward connected, enterprise-wide inspection strategies.
"AI vision has long delivered value, but scaling it across operations has remained a barrier," said Matt Moschner, President and CEO of Cognex. "Manufacturers encounter recurring challenges—from fragmented workflows to models that don't adapt across environments. OneVision addresses this by unifying the simplicity of the edge with the scalability of the cloud, helping organizations move from isolated pilots to consistent, enterprise-wide deployment."
Cloud-to-Edge Architecture for Scalable AI Vision
OneVision addresses a persistent challenge in industrial AI: deploying advanced vision applications at enterprise scale without adding complexity or slowing production. This introduces a cloud-to-edge architecture, where AI models are trained, managed, and governed in the cloud, while inspection runs at the edge on Cognex vision systems for real-time, reliable execution. Customers can now centrally manage the entire AI lifecycle—from collecting and labeling production images to refining models—and deploy updates consistently across global fleets of devices. OneVision is optimized to work with Cognex's latest systems, including the In-Sight® 3900 and In-Sight® 6900.
"While OneVision leverages the cloud for development and management, runtime inspection remains fully edge-based," said Reto Wyss, Vice President of Vision Engineering at Cognex. "Once a model is deployed, no connectivity to the cloud is required. Production images stay local and latency is a non-issue."
By centralizing model development and management, OneVision helps manufacturers:
Standardize inspection processes across sites. Reduce duplication of work across teams. Reduce scaling costs by up to 50%. Maintain version control and consistency across deployments. Customer Success: From Pilots to Global Scale
Across industries including automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and healthcare, customers are seeing faster AI application development, improved throughput, and more consistent inspection results—while reducing reliance on specialized expertise and scaling deployments globally.
Essity – AI inspection development: from one year to one day
"With our previous approach, developing a reliable sealing inspection application took more than a year of iteration and tuning, and quality issues could lead to full batch returns and significant material waste," said Amin Tajeddine, Operational Technology and Digitization Manager. "Using OneVision, we were able to build and demonstrate a viable solution in less than a day. OneVision's simplicity and ease of use significantly reduced development effort and gives us confidence in how quickly AI vision applications can be scaled across our operations." Schneider Electric – Standardizing AI inspection for global scale
"OneVision allowed us to develop and validate AI inspection standards centrally and then deploy those same models across our worldwide operations," said Christophe Ernis, Smart Operation Manager, Product Power Division. "That approach helped us double yield, dramatically reduce false rejects, and reduce our dependence on specialized vision expertise. Most importantly, it gives us a repeatable way to scale best practices reliably across our factories." 3M – Improving speed and collaboration in AI vision development
"With OneVision, our engineers can quickly label real production images, build models, and deploy them to cameras with far less effort," said Scott Daniels, Senior Manufacturing Technology Engineer. With general availability now underway, Cognex expects momentum for OneVision to accelerate as manufacturers demand scalable AI vision to drive operational efficiency across global production networks.

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.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Cognex Corporation (CGNX - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. 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. Cognex Corporation currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (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? In order to see if CGNX is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.
Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. 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 CGNX, shares are up 17.38% over the past week while the Zacks Electronics - Testing Equipment industry is up 2.37% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 20.23% compares favorably with the industry's 0.83% performance as well.
Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Cognex Corporation have risen 18.14%, and are up 109.08% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 10.02% and 28.69%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to CGNX'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. CGNX is currently averaging 2,704,779 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with CGNX.
Over the past two months, 5 earnings estimates moved higher compared to 1 lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost CGNX's consensus estimate, increasing from $1.24 to $1.43 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 4 estimates have moved upwards while there have been 1 downward revision in the same time period.
Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that CGNX is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Cognex Corporation on your short list.
Cognex Corporation (CGNX - Free Report) appears an attractive pick given a noticeable improvement in the company's earnings outlook. The stock has been a strong performer lately, and the momentum might continue with analysts still raising their earnings estimates for the company.
Analysts' growing optimism on the earnings prospects of this company is driving estimates higher, which should get reflected in its stock price. After all, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Our stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- has this insight at its core.
The five-grade Zacks Rank system, which ranges from a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record of outperformance, with Zacks #1 Ranked stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 2008.
Consensus earnings estimates for the next quarter and full year have moved considerably higher for Cognex Corporation, as there has been strong agreement among the covering analysts in raising estimates.
The chart below shows the evolution of forward 12-month Zacks Consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Current-Quarter Estimate RevisionsThe earnings estimate of $0.42 per share for the current quarter represents a change of +68.0% from the number reported a year ago.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Cognex has increased 70.41% over the last 30 days, as three estimates have gone higher compared to no negative revisions.
Current-Year Estimate RevisionsThe company is expected to earn $1.43 per share for the full year, which represents a change of +40.2% from the prior-year number.
There has been an encouraging trend in estimate revisions for the current year as well. Over the past month, five estimates have moved up for Cognex versus one negative revision. This has pushed the consensus estimate 41.7% higher.
Favorable Zacks RankOur research shows that stocks with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and 2 (Buy) significantly outperform the S&P 500.
Bottom LineCognex shares have added 20.2% over the past four weeks, suggesting that investors are betting on its impressive estimate revisions. So, you may consider adding it to your portfolio right away to benefit from its earnings growth prospects.
On May 18, 2026, Cognex Corp CGNX shares fell 3.7% to $61.91. The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week range of $29.00 to $71.90, reflecting both growth and uncertainty in investor sentiment.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $61.91 is 22.3% above the GF Value™ estimate of $50.60, indicating it is overvalued.GF Score™: 83/100, suggesting strong overall performance based on multiple factors.Notable signal: Insiders sold $20.5 million in stock over the past three months with no buying activity. Is CGNX Overvalued or Undervalued? Cognex Corp's current price of $61.91 is significantly higher than the GF Value™ estimate of $50.60, resulting in a 22.3% overvaluation. This indicates a lack of margin of safety for potential investors. The GF Valuation label identifies the stock as "Modestly Overvalued," suggesting that while the company demonstrates strong fundamentals, the current market price may not be justified based on intrinsic value. This overvaluation poses a risk, as investors may face price corrections if the stock fails to meet future performance expectations.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. With stock prices currently exceeding intrinsic value, investors need to exercise caution, as the potential for future returns may be limited unless Cognex demonstrates exceptional growth.
How Does CGNX's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 73.7x 51.2x Forward P/E 42.6x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 73.7x is 44% above its 5-year median P/E of 51.2x, indicating that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the conclusion that CGNX is overvalued at its current price.
What Does CGNX's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 83/100 Financial Strength 7/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 6/10 Valuation 5/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 83/100 indicates that Cognex Corp has strong performance across various metrics, with particularly high ratings in Profitability (8/10) and Momentum (9/10). However, the Valuation rank of 5/10 suggests that the stock may not be appropriately priced relative to its potential. The Financial Strength score of 7/10 further indicates a solid foundation, though the Growth rank of 6/10 implies room for improvement in expanding the business.
What Are Insiders Doing with CGNX Stock? Recent insider activity at Cognex Corp has shown a notable trend, with insiders selling $20.5 million in stock over the last three months and no reported buying. This pattern may raise concerns among potential investors, as the lack of insider buying could indicate a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance. Typically, insider purchases can signal positive expectations for the company's future, while selling may reflect an opportunistic strategy or concerns about valuation.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ analysis, Cognex Corp CGNX is currently considered overvalued. With a current price of $61.91 significantly above the estimated fair value of $50.60, potential investors may need to exercise caution and consider the associated risks before making investment decisions.

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 research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out 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 ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank 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.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Cognex Corporation (CGNX - Free Report) Cognex designs and sells industrial machine vision technology that helps automate manufacturing and distribution. The company blends hardware and software to capture and analyze visual information so production lines and warehouses can locate, identify, inspect, and measure discrete items such as mobile phones, automotive components and consumer goods. Machine vision is used when human vision cannot meet requirements for size, accuracy, or speed, or when automation lowers labor costs and improves quality.
CGNX is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. CGNX has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 12.9% over the past four weeks.
Six analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.19 to $1.44 per share. CGNX also boasts an average earnings surprise of +22.4%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, CGNX should be on investors' short list.
Investors in Cognex Corporation (CGNX - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Nov. 20, 2026 $40 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Cognex shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Cognex is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the Electronics - Testing Equipment industry that ranks in the Top 12% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, three analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 30 cents per share to 42 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Cognex right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
