SummaryThe BDC sector thrived post-COVID as low rates and strong underwriting supported robust dividends and performance.Rising rates initially sparked default fears, but BDCs benefited from higher coupons and stable funding costs, with limited non-accrual uptick.Since early 2025, most BDCs have cut dividends, and total returns now barely match inflation or T-bill rates.In this process, there are some fallen angels which before the sell-off were commonly deemed as blue-chip BDCs.In this article, I discuss three such BDCs.

A couple of years ago, when the rates were low, investors were scrambling for yields and the PE industry was booming, the setup was extremely favorable for BDCs (BIZD). Once the interest rates

FSK KKR Capital Corp. trades at a 33% discount to NAV but faces persistent credit quality issues and NAV erosion. Despite recent outperformance and a double-digit yield, FSK's high non-accruals and declining investment income raise concerns about dividend sustainability. Management's incentive fee waiver and continued high non-accruals signal elevated risk of another dividend cut in the near term.

As infrastructure demand surges globally, choosing between Eaton (ETN +2.75%) and Vertiv (VRT +3.67%) requires weighing established industrial heritage against the explosive growth seen in data center dominance.

Eaton operates as a diversified giant in the power management space, serving industries from aviation to housing. Vertiv focuses intensely on cooling and power systems specifically for the digital world. Both benefit from the massive electrification trend, making them natural rivals for a spot in your long-term holdings.

The case for EatonEaton focuses on intelligent power management, providing technologies for electrical, aerospace, and vehicle markets. In its latest annual report, filed for 2025, the company highlighted its reach across more than 160 countries. Significant 2025 revenue concentrations include 18% of eMobility sales to one large vehicle OEM, and such customer concentration adds a layer of risk to the business.

Eaton is currently expanding its reach among industrial stocks through its recent acquisition of a majority interest in Dana. In 2025, revenue reached $27 billion, representing growth of about 10% over the prior year. This helped the company generate net income of roughly $4 billion, with a net margin close to 15%.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was about 0.5x. This ratio measures total debt relative to shareholders' equity, with lower ratios usually indicating a more conservative financial structure. The current ratio, which compares short-term assets to short-term debts, was approximately 1.3x.

The company also generated free cash flow of nearly $3.9 billion on a trailing 12-month basis through the second quarter of 2026.

The case for VertivVertiv is a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, supplying end-to-end power and cooling technologies to major cloud providers. Its customers include the top hyperscale giants. The company maintains a strong backlog of $15.0 billion, which represents orders received but not yet delivered to customers.

In 2025, revenue reached $10.2 billion, a significant jump of roughly 27.7% compared to the previous fiscal year. This growth resulted in a net income of approximately $1.3 billion. The net margin expanded significantly to about 13%, which is nearly double the level reported in 2023.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 0.8x. The current ratio, which measures the ability to pay short-term debts with current assets, was approximately 1.5x.

Vertiv produced free cash flow of $2.9 billion on a trailing basis through Q2 2026.

Risk profile comparisonEaton is undergoing a major corporate reorganization, specifically the planned spin-off of its Mobility business by early 2027. This process poses risks of failing to realize expected synergies, while global operations remain susceptible to geopolitical instability.

Additionally, reliance on single-source suppliers and potential data breaches stemming from AI integration could increase costs or result in regulatory fines.

Vertiv relies heavily on hyperscale providers, who possess significant purchasing leverage to mandate favorable pricing terms. Future growth is also closely tied to sustained capital expenditure on AI infrastructure, meaning a shift in customer priorities could lead to a sudden decline in demand.

Finally, the company aggressively pursues acquisitions, which carry risks related to integration execution and volatility in raw material prices.

Valuation comparisonEaton appears more conservatively valued, while Vertiv carries a premium based on its Forward P/E and P/S ratio, comparing price to future earnings estimates and revenue.

MetricEatonVertivForward P/E31.0x39.0xP/S ratio5.9x9.9xValuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

For investors who expect AI infrastructure spending to continue growing over the long term, Vertiv is the stock I would buy right now. While Eaton has advantages in scale and consistent profitability, Vertiv is growing much faster and earning higher margins, indicating an even stronger competitive position in its market.

Data centers are increasingly deploying denser, larger chip clusters. But this creates a problem with generating more heat. Vertiv supplies thermal management and liquid cooling systems to solve this problem.

The increasing complexity of designing AI data centers should also drive higher margins for Vertiv. Vertiv's profit margin reached 13% in 2025 and, as of Q2 2026, has improved to 15% on a trailing 12-month basis.

Both stocks trade at premium multiples of earnings, but analysts expect Eaton to grow earnings just 10% per year, while Vertiv could see 35% annualized growth. Vertiv stock looks like the better bet to outperform the market as AI infrastructure spending continues to grow.

NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Primoris Services Corporation (“Primoris” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRIM) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Primoris common stock between August 5, 2025 and June 22, 2026 (the “Class Period”).

The truth was allegedly revealed through a series of disclosures between February 23, 2026 and June 22, 2026, culminating in Primoris’ announcement that an internal review, supported by an independent third-party industry expert, had identified significant cost overruns, project delays, and execution challenges affecting six renewable energy projects.

The online pet-supplies retailer posted a second-quarter profit of $80.5 million, or 20 cents a share, compared with $62 million, or 14 cents a share, a year earlier.

Chewy (CHWY - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.36 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate . This compares to earnings of $0.33 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

A quarter ago, it was expected that this online pet store would post earnings of $0.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.43, delivering no surprise.

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

Chewy, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry, posted revenues of $3.33 billion for the quarter ended July 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.42%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.1 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

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

Chewy shares have lost about 29.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

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

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

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

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

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.38 on $3.33 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.53 on $13.48 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Commerce is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the broader Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector, Designer Brands (DBI - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 10.

This footwear and accessories retailer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.25 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -26.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Designer Brands' revenues are expected to be $743 million, up 0.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Key Takeaways Globus Medical, NetApp and Assurant emerge from a screen built around sales growth and cash flow.NetApp's fiscal 2027 sales are expected to grow 18.6%, the highest rate among the three stocks.Globus Medical targets 8.8% 2026 sales growth, while Assurant's sales are expected to rise 8.5%. U.S. equities have posted solid gains so far this year despite periodic volatility. Fed policy uncertainty, elevated Treasury yields, renewed Middle East tension, rising oil prices, persistent inflation, tariff concerns and stretched technology valuations have weighed on sentiment. Still, resilient corporate earnings and continued robust investment in AI have provided meaningful support to the market, helping major U.S. indexes remain firmly in positive territory in 2026.

Against this backdrop, the traditional approach to stock selection remains a good idea. Sales growth provides a more reliable basis for evaluating stocks compared with earnings-focused metrics. In this regard, stocks like Globus Medical, Inc. (GMED - Free Report) , NetApp, Inc. (NTAP - Free Report) and Assurant Inc. (AIZ - Free Report) are worth buying.

Sales growth is a key indicator of a company’s underlying business strength, reflecting customer demand and its ability to sell products or services. Sustained revenue growth will likely signal favorable industry trends, market share gains, pricing power, successful product launches, or expansion into new markets and customer segments. Higher sales can also improve operating leverage by spreading fixed costs across a larger revenue base, supporting margin expansion and profitability.

However, revenue growth must be assessed alongside industry conditions, competitor performance, pricing trends, customer mix and the broader economy. Its quality also matters: recurring revenues, repeat purchases, volume-driven gains and resilient demand are generally more durable than temporary boosts. Companies that consistently generate high-quality sales growth are often better positioned to produce stable cash flows, fund expansion, strengthen competitive advantages and deliver sustainable shareholder returns.

Selecting the Potential Winning StocksTo shortlist stocks with impressive sales growth and a high cash balance, we have selected 5-Year Historical Sales Growth (%) greater than X-Industry and Cash Flow of more than $500 million as our main screening parameters.

But sales growth and cash strength are not the absolute criteria for selecting stocks. Hence, we have added other factors to arrive at a winning strategy.

P/S Ratio less than X-Industry: This metric determines the value placed on each dollar of a company’s revenues. The lower the ratio, the better it is for picking a stock since the investor is paying less for each unit of sales.

% Change F1 Sales Estimate Revisions (four weeks) greater than X-Industry: Estimate revisions, better than the industry, are often seen to trigger an increase in stock price.

Operating Margin (average last five years) greater than 5%: The operating margin measures how much every dollar of a company's sales translates into profits. A high ratio indicates that the company has good cost control and sales are increasing faster than costs — an optimal situation.

Return on Equity (ROE) greater than 5%: This metric will ensure that sales growth is translated into profits and the company is not hoarding cash. A high ROE means that the company is spending wisely and is, in all likelihood, profitable.

Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2: Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks are known to outperform, irrespective of the market environment. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Construction Partners is reaffirmed as a ‘buy' due to robust revenue, profitability growth, and a strong backlog, despite recent stock underperformance. Acquisitions remain a key growth driver, with $1.82 billion spent since 2023 and recent deals expanding ROAD's market presence and backlog to $3.4 billion. Management guides for FY2026 revenue of $3.64–$3.68 billion and EBITDA of $559–$569 million, with long-term targets of $6.03 billion revenue and $1.03 billion EBITDA by 2030.

The 40% pullback in SoFi Technologies (SOFI -1.15%) from last October's peak -- followed by its stagnation since March -- makes enough superficial sense. The company delivered the bad news it was expected to deliver.

But as is so often the case, the sellers arguably overshot their target by pricing in all of the bad news -- and then some -- while ignoring much of the bigger bullish picture. Here's why the stock is a buy this month.

SoFi Technologies is so much more than its one recent setback SoFi Technologies is an online bank that offers checking, savings, credit cards, loans, and everything else you might expect from a traditional brick-and-mortar bank. But it doesn't manage any brick-and-mortar branches -- it's an entirely online, self-service bank that also provides its back-end technology platform to third parties.

Image source: Getty Images.

And that's the crux of the reason for the share pullback: Fellow online-only bank Chime Financial had been using SoFi's Galileo platform for a fee. Now it isn't, accounting for most of the 27% year-over-year tumble in platform revenue to $75 million in this year's first quarter. Investors flinched. And although the second quarter's figure rose sequentially, it fell year-over-year, leaving investors concerned.

They were so concerned that they seem to have looked right past all the other ways SoFi is knocking things out of the park. Its first-quarter total revenue is a case in point.

Although Galileo platform revenue dipped during the first quarter, total revenue soared 43% to $1.1 billion, more than doubling net income in the process. Its total customer count grew 35% to a record 14.7 million, and then it improved another 35% year over year to 15.8 million during the second quarter, when revenue increased 40% to $1.2 billion.

This growth appears to be accelerating, too. As part of its second-quarter report, released in late July, SoFi raised its full-year revenue forecast from $4.65 billion to a range of $4.75 billion to $4.85 billion, largely reflecting the fact that a growing number of its customers are now using more than one of the neobank's revenue-generating services. And at just over 30% above last year's top line, that revised outlook may still be on the conservative side.

Plenty of growth ahead So why isn't the online bank's stock bouncing back from the knee-jerk worry about the impact of losing Chime as an institutional customer? Analysts account for some of the decline. They're only lukewarm on this stock right now, with most of them currently rating SoFi as a hold, with an average price target of $20.05, only about 10% more than the current price. With shares trading at price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 37, they may have valuation concerns.

Analysts may also be looking right past the much bigger picture, though, afraid of sticking their necks out by pricing in next year's projected top-line growth of 26%, which would pump up the company's bottom line to $0.82 per share.

And even then, it would still just be getting started. Longer-term projections from Morningstar analysts indicate SoFi could turn $6.66 billion worth of revenue into a per-share profit of $1.71 in 2030, driven by the ongoing adoption of app-based banking.

Data source: Morningstar. Chart by author.

According to a recent survey commissioned by the American Bankers Association, more than half of all bank customers within the U.S. already say a mobile app is their preferred way of banking, with another 22% indicating a computer or laptop is their favorite way. Nearer the bottom of the list, in-branch visits are the go-to option for a mere 9% of U.S. bank customers, while phone calls are only the first choice 4% of the time.

It should also come as no surprise that the younger the consumers, the more likely they are to choose digital banking. More than two-thirds of millennials (who are mostly digitally native) use a mobile app as their primary means of banking, while only 7% regularly visit a brick-and-mortar branch.

As the number of digitally native members of the population continues expanding, and online and mobile banking goes more mainstream, SoFi is perfectly positioned to meet more and bigger portions of consumers' financial needs.

Waiting for more certainty could mean missing out The market will connect these dots sooner or later. In fact, although for the time being the stock seems stuck below $20 (leaving most of the pullback from last year's peak in place), since April we've seen an occasional glimmer of hope. The fact that the bulls continue testing the waters is telling.

So, don't be deterred by this setback, but rather, take advantage of it while you can. Just don't tarry. Once the ball finally gets rolling in earnest, it may be a while before it stops again.

That's particularly true if the analyst community gets on board and starts raising its price targets. The growth story is certainly compelling enough in the meantime to inspire them. They just need the right nudge.

Fee revenue was $86.7 million in Q1 FY'27 compared to $85.5 million in Q1 FY'26, an increase of $1.2 million or 1% (up 2% at constant currency). Fee revenue increased primarily driven by a 7% increase in Search, offset by a decline in the other Solution Groups.

Adjusted EBITDA was $19.2 million in Q1 FY'27 compared to $19.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

Outlook

Assuming no further changes in worldwide geopolitical conditions, economic conditions, financial markets and foreign exchange rates, and including the addition of AMS for September and October, on a consolidated basis:

Q2 FY’27 fee revenue is expected to be in the range of $860 million and $878 million; Q2 FY'27 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to range from 16.8% to 17.2%; and Q2 FY’27 adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range from $1.30 to $1.40. Adjusted diluted earnings per share includes the net after tax impact of two months of incremental intangible asset amortization, incremental net interest expense and incremental shares issued in connection with the acquisition of AMS which closed on September 1, 2026.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin and consolidated adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company is not providing an outlook for consolidated net income attributable to Korn Ferry margin or consolidated diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, or a quantitative reconciliation of those GAAP measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures. The information necessary to present those GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis is not accessible without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is not able to estimate with reasonable certainty the integration and acquisition costs it will incur in connection with the AMS acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal 2027.

Earnings Conference Call Webcast

The earnings conference call will be held today at 12:00 PM (EDT) and hosted by CEO Gary Burnison, CFO Robert Rozek, SVP Business Development & Analytics Gregg Kvochak and VP Investor Relations Tiffany Louder. The conference call will be webcast and available online at ir.kornferry.com. We will also post to the investor relations section of our website earnings slides, which will accompany our webcast, and other important information, and encourage you to review the information that we make available on our website.

Korn Ferry disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In particular, it includes:

Adjusted net income attributable to Korn Ferry, adjusted to exclude accelerated depreciation on our digital technology platform and integration/acquisition costs, net of income tax effect; Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted to exclude cost associated with accelerated depreciation on our digital technology platform and integration/acquisition costs, net of income tax effect; Constant currency (calculated using a quarterly average) percentages that represent the percentage change that would have resulted had exchange rates in the prior period been the same as those in effect in the current period; and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude integration/acquisition costs when applicable, and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding Korn Ferry’s performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of Korn Ferry’s ongoing operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are not indicative of the liquidity of Korn Ferry. These charges, which are described in the footnotes in the attached reconciliations, represent 1) accelerated depreciation associated with the decision to sunset our digital technology platform and 2) costs associated with acquisitions, such as legal and professional fees, retention awards and on-going integration expenses. The use of non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparisons to Korn Ferry’s historical performance. Korn Ferry includes non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry’s ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted net income attributable to Korn Ferry, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, exclude certain charges that management does not consider on-going in nature and allows management and investors to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results. Management further believes that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes and capitalized asset values, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In the case of constant currency percentages, management believes the presentation of such information provides useful supplemental information regarding Korn Ferry's performance as excluding the impact of exchange rate changes on Korn Ferry's financial performance allows investors to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results, to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by exchange rate changes and to perform related trend analysis, and provides a higher degree of transparency of information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry's ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making.

NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:GDDY) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in GoDaddy, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/godaddy-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the GoDaddy ($GDDY) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 26, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging GoDaddy misrepresented its customer acquisition and go-to-market strategyStock Drop: February 25, 2026 – 14.28% Stock DropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New YorkAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until October 26, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in GoDaddy common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc. et al., No. 26-cv-7144.

Why is GoDaddy Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

GoDaddy is an internet domain registry, domain registrar, and web hosting company that primarily serves small businesses, entrepreneurs, and other customers seeking tools to build and manage an online presence.

According to the complaint, GoDaddy repeatedly told investors that its strategy was focused on attracting “high-intent” customers who were likely to buy more products and spend more money, while allegedly failing to disclose that it had introduced a heavily discounted $4.99 promotional offer for one-year dotcom domain contracts.

As alleged, the promotion contradicted GoDaddy’s public messaging that it had turned off front-end discounting and was not pursuing customer growth for its own sake. The complaint alleges that the promotion encouraged shorter-term, lower-value contracts, reduced upfront bookings, and rendered GoDaddy’s statements about demand, average order size, and bookings growth misleading.

Why did GoDaddy’s Stock Drop?

On February 24, 2026, after the market closed, GoDaddy disclosed that total bookings growth sharply decelerated to 5% in Q4 2025, down from 9% the prior quarter and below analyst expectations. GoDaddy also disclosed that it had expanded its go-to-market approach and introduced a promotional price for dotcom domains with a one-year term. The Company stated that the offer increased new customer volume but that the shift in term mix and promotional pricing reduced upfront bookings and near-term revenue.

On this news, GoDaddy’s stock dropped $13.18 per share, or 14.28%, from a closing price of $92.30 per share on February 24, 2026, to $79.12 per share on February 25, 2026.
