On June 12, 2026, Olin Corp OLN shares rose 3.8% to a current price of $25.13. This price action is situated within a 52-week range of $18.08 to $30.46, showcasing a volatile trading environment over the past year.
GF Value™ verdict: Currently priced at $25.13, OLN is estimated to be 45.1% undervalued compared to its GF Value™ of $45.81.GF Score™: With a score of 65/100, OLN is categorized as above average in terms of overall stock performance potential.Most notable signal: The stock's momentum rank stands at 9/10, indicating strong recent price performance. Is OLN Overvalued or Undervalued? Olin Corp's current share price of $25.13 presents a significant discount when compared to its GF Value™ of $45.81, suggesting that the stock is undervalued by approximately 45.1%. This margin of safety may attract value-focused investors looking for potential opportunities in the market. However, the GF Valuation label indicates that OLN could be a possible value trap, which warrants caution. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
While the significant gap between the stock price and the GF Value™ suggests potential upside, the company's financial strength rating of 3/10 indicates that there are inherent risks associated with investing in Olin Corp. Therefore, while the undervaluation may present an opportunity, investors should be diligent and consider the underlying financial health of the company before making any investment decisions.
How Does OLN's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 199.4x 10.0x The current P/E ratio of Olin Corp at 199.4x is substantially higher than its 5-year median P/E of 10.0x, indicating that the stock is trading well above its historical valuation levels. This P/E analysis supports the GF Value™ verdict of undervaluation; however, it also raises questions about the sustainability of the current price, given the steep valuation compared to historical norms.
What Does OLN's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 65 Financial Strength 3/10 Profitability 5/10 Growth 4/10 Valuation 4/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 65/100 indicates that Olin Corp has a sound potential for long-term returns, although it manifests weaknesses in financial strength (3/10), growth (4/10), and valuation (4/10). The strongest aspect of OLN's score is its momentum rank (9/10), suggesting that the stock has been performing well in recent market conditions. Conversely, the low financial strength score points to potential risks that investors should be aware of.
What Are Insiders Doing with OLN Stock? In the past three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Olin Corp. This lack of activity may suggest that insiders are not currently making significant moves regarding their shares, which can sometimes indicate uncertainty about the company's prospects or a wait-and-see approach regarding future performance.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Olin Corp is currently undervalued. However, potential investors should proceed with caution due to the company's low financial strength and high current P/E ratio, which may reflect risks that could affect future performance.

Good morning. Welcome to Baird and Insulet recap of the 86 session of the American Diabetes Association Annual Meeting. With us today, we're thrilled to have Dr. Trang Ly, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer; at Insulet. I do have to read one disclosure before we get started here, and that is to please refer to the event calendar published research or Baird's website for important disclosures regarding the companies discussed during this event. Dr. Ly, good to see you. Thanks for doing this again.
Trang Ly

Question-and-Answer Session

All right. Well, let's get started. First question. And unfortunately, we have to start here. But just on the recall that was announced a couple of weeks ago, second recall in 10 weeks. I'd love to just hear from you. You're out there, I'm sure, talking to docs a lot over the last couple of weeks. Just how has the response been from the physician community and even the patient community, if you've touched anything there?
It was rather advantageous to own First Advantage (FA +5.98%) stock as the trading week came to a close. Shares of the next-generation employment verification specialist, which enhances its solutions with artificial intelligence (AI), rose by almost 6% on Friday after being added to an important stock index.
That rise easily topped the 0.5% gain of another well-known market gauge, the S&P 500 index.
Graduation day After market close on Thursday S&P Global, the company behind its near-namesake S&P series of indexes, announced First Advantage would be joining one. Specifically, the company's equity will be included in the S&P SmallCap 600.
Image source: Getty Images.
As is typical with such moves, First Advantage was tapped because a current index component no longer qualifies for inclusion. The stock is replacing real estate company Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, which is being acquired.
The switch will take effect prior to market open next Tuesday, June 16.

New attention Investors usually get excited about fresh inclusion in a stock index, particularly one managed by index king S&P Global, over a sudden jump in a company's visibility. More than anything, it makes the affected stock an instant target for the many index funds that remain durably popular with investors.
While this doesn't change the fundamental performance of any company, Arista's been doing well lately, as evidenced by its recently released first quarter results that featured double-digit growth in key fundamentals. For me, index inclusion is just the cherry on top of an already appealing cake with this stock.
Eric Volkman has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends S&P Global. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
Key Takeaways Lennar beat EPS estimates with $1.31 per share, though earnings and revenues declined year over year.Home deliveries rose 2%, but a 5% drop in average selling price weighed on homebuilding revenues.Backlog homes increased, while Lennar lowered its full-year delivery target amid market uncertainty. Lennar Corporation (LEN - Free Report) reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with adjusted earnings topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate while revenues missed the same. Year over year, both metrics declined, given ongoing softness in housing demand and a lower average sales price (ASP) for homes delivered.
LEN stock trickled down 2.5% during yesterday’s after-hours trading session, post the earnings announcement.
LEN’s Quarterly NumbersLennar’s adjusted earnings of $1.31 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.23 by 6.5% but declined 31.1% from $1.90 in the year-ago quarter.
Total revenues of $7.94 billion missed the consensus estimate of $8.07 billion by 1.6% and fell 5.2% year over year. Results reflected pressure from lower home prices and affordability constraints.
Lennar’s Homebuilding MetricsHomebuilding revenues declined 2% year over year to $7.62 billion from $7.84 billion. Revenues from home sales were $7.60 billion, down from $7.79 billion in the year-ago quarter, as lower pricing offset higher closings.
Home deliveries increased 2% to 20,519 homes from 20,131 homes a year ago and were within management’s guidance of 20,000-21,000 homes. The ASP of homes delivered fell 5% to $371,000 from $389,000, reflecting continued weakness in the housing market.
New orders decreased 4% year over year to 21,749 homes from 22,601 homes. The dollar value of new orders fell to $8.21 billion from $8.58 billion, while the ASP of new orders was $377,000 compared with $379,000 a year ago.
Backlog at quarter-end increased to 16,818 homes from 15,538 homes. The backlog dollar value rose to $6.61 billion from $6.48 billion, though the ASP in backlog declined to $393,000 from $417,000.
Gross margin on home sales was 15.6%, down from 17.8% in the year-ago quarter. The decline was due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs, partially offset by reduced construction costs as the company continued to pursue cost-saving initiatives. Meanwhile, as a percentage of home sales, SG&A expenses increased to 9.2% from 8.8%, mainly due to lower revenue leverage and higher marketing and selling expenses.
Other Segmental Highlights of LENFinancial Services revenues declined to $236.9 million from $298.1 million a year ago. Operating earnings for the segment decreased to $101.1 million from $157.3 million, primarily due to lower profit per locked loan in the mortgage business.
Lennar Multifamily revenues were $63.6 million, significantly down from $230.3 million in the prior-year quarter. But the segment generated operating earnings of $18.3 million against an operating loss of $14.8 million a year ago.
Lennar Other revenues rose to $23.1 million from $5.2 million, while the operating loss narrowed to $38.9 million from $52.9 million.
Lennar’s Balance SheetLennar ended the fiscal second quarter with homebuilding cash and cash equivalents of $1.82 billion. The company had no outstanding borrowings under its $3.1 billion revolving credit facility at quarter-end.
Homebuilding debt to total capital was 15.8% compared with 11% a year ago. During the fiscal second quarter, the homebuilder repurchased 5 million shares for $447 million at an average price of $89.35 and, after May 31, 2026, redeemed $400 million of 5.25% senior notes due in June 2026.
LEN’s Outlook for Fiscal Q3 2026For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Lennar expects home deliveries in the range of 20,500-21,500 homes and new orders between 21,000 and 22,000 homes. The company expects the ASP to be between $375,000 and $380,000. Gross margin on home sales is expected to be approximately 16%, while SG&A expenses are projected between 8.8% and 9% of home sales.
Financial Services operating earnings are expected in the range of $95-$100 million. Management also moderated its full-year fiscal 2026 delivery target to approximately 82,000-83,000 homes, citing pressure on interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, continues its investigation on behalf of The Ensign Group, Inc. (“Ensign” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ENSG) investors concerning the Company's possible violations of the federal securities laws.IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON ENSIGN GROUP, INC. (ENSG), CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS.What Happened?On June 8, 2026, investment med.
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds sellers of common stock of ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) between February 29, 2024 and April 1, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 14, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you sold ChampionX common stock 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 ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join 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 14, 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, defendants throughout the Class Period failed to disclose material information, which artificially deflated the price of ChampionX common stock. On February 29, 2024, ChampionX received an unsolicited non-public offer from Schlumberger Limited to purchase all the outstanding shares of ChampionX for $36.70 per share. On March 7, 2024, Schlumberger raised its offer to $37.80 per share. The lawsuit alleges that while these offers were on the table and unknown to the investing public, ChampionX was repurchasing its common stock at market prices significantly below the prices offered by Schlumberger. ChampionX had an obligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Schlumberger or abstain from purchasing ChampionX stock from unsuspecting investors. During the Class Period, ChampionX’s average stock price was $33.32 per share. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, during pre-market hours, ChampionX disclosed the merger with Schlumberger. The merger eventually closed on July 16, 2025, with Schlumberger acquiring ChampionX for $40.58 per share.
To join the ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join 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.

On June 12, 2026, Huntsman Corp HUN shares rose 4.4% today, bringing the current price to $15.74. Over the past 52 weeks, shares have traded between $7.30 and $15.93, indicating substantial volatility and a notable recovery.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $15.74 is 17.7% below GF Value™ of $19.13.GF Score™ of 71/100 indicates the stock is above average in terms of its overall quality and potential.No insider transactions in the last 3 months suggest stability in management's outlook on the company's performance. Is HUN Overvalued or Undervalued? With a current price of $15.74, Huntsman Corp is assessed as undervalued compared to its GF Value™ of $19.13, which represents a margin of safety of 17.7%. The GF Valuation label categorizes Huntsman as "Modestly Undervalued," suggesting that the stock may present an attractive opportunity for investors, provided that the market conditions remain favorable and the company can sustain its growth trajectory. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
The undervaluation signals a potential opportunity for investors to acquire shares at a discount to intrinsic value. However, as with any investment, it is essential to consider the broader economic environment and company-specific risks that could affect future performance.
How Does HUN's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) Not available 9.4x (5-Year Median) As there is no available P/E (TTM) data, we cannot directly compare it to the 5-year median P/E of 9.4x or the forward P/E of 2019.0x. However, the absence of P/E data does not negate the GF Value™ assessment, which continues to indicate that Huntsman is undervalued based on intrinsic value calculations.
What Does HUN's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 71/100 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 6/10 Growth 4/10 Valuation 8/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 71/100 indicates that Huntsman Corp is positioned above average in terms of overall quality. Notably, the strongest aspect is the Valuation rank of 8/10, suggesting that the stock is attractively valued relative to its peers. However, the Financial Strength rank of 4/10 raises concerns about the company's stability and ability to weather economic downturns, which is an area that potential investors should monitor closely.
What Are Insiders Doing with HUN Stock? Over the last three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Huntsman Corp. This lack of activity suggests that insiders may not see immediate opportunities for buying or selling, which could indicate a level of confidence in the company's current strategy and performance. Insiders typically act on non-public information, and their inactivity can signal stability or a wait-and-see approach in the context of broader market conditions.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ analysis, Huntsman Corp is currently undervalued. The stock's price is significantly below its estimated intrinsic value, presenting a potential opportunity for long-term growth. However, investors should remain cautious and consider other factors such as financial strength and market conditions before making investment decisions.

Is HUN overvalued or undervalued?
HUN is currently assessed as undervalued, with a GF Value™ of $19.13 compared to its current price of $15.74, indicating a significant margin of safety.
What is HUN's P/E ratio?
The current P/E (TTM) is not available, but the 5-year median P/E is noted at 9.4x, suggesting that HUN may be trading below its historical valuation.

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Commvault 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 Commvault class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/commvault-systems-inc/join 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 17, 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, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Commvault's ARR growth environment; pertinently, Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that its ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Commvault class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/commvault-systems-inc/join 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.

SMCI weekly chart shows larger price structure Major Hurdles Above Current Price A potentially significant initial resistance area lies near the confluence of several indicators between approximately $35.81 and $36.51, consisting of an uptrend line, the 200-day moving average, Wednesday’s lower high, and a prior interim swing high at $36.37 from early May. The $36.37 level, along with Wednesday’s lower daily high of $36.51, represents key price structure resistance.
Therefore, a rally above Wednesday’s high will clear this potential resistance zone and most importantly reclaim the 200-day moving average as well. If Wednesday’s high and the 200-day moving average are recovered, then SMCI could attempt another trendline breakout and challenge resistance near the recent lower swing high of $51.40.
Watching for Lower Support Targets Lower potential targets include structural support near $27.75, followed by the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the prior advance at $26.31. Since the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $31.67 failed as support, the 78.6% retracement is the next lower target. Notably, the failure of support near the 61.8% retracement and the 50-day moving average reinforce the bearish correction that followed the powerful rally from the March low, increasing the importance of identifying a new support zone before the next sustained advance can begin.
In the latest close session, Vistra Corp. (VST - Free Report) was up +1.12% at $148.02. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.5%. Elsewhere, the Dow saw an upswing of 0.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq appreciated by 0.31%.
Heading into today, shares of the company had gained 3.16% over the past month, outpacing the Utilities sector's loss of 2.17% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.23%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Vistra Corp. in its forthcoming earnings report. On that day, Vistra Corp. is projected to report earnings of $2.16 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 113.86%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $6.26 billion, up 47.32% from the year-ago period.
For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $9.3 per share and a revenue of $23.02 billion, signifying shifts of +76.81% and +29.76%, respectively, from the last year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Vistra Corp. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the business health and profitability.

I wasn't exactly named after 18th century astronomer Anders Celsius, but I still can't help feeling connected to the temperature scale inventor. So maybe I'm a little biased in favor of Celsius Holdings (CELH +2.32%), though the other Anders never invented an energy drink, and the beverage company's roots are closer to my Florida home than my Swedish origin.
With or without the namesake connection, Celsius' stock looks like a fantastic buy right now. Let me show you 5 reasons why.
Today's Change
(
2.32
%) $
0.66
Current Price
$
29.06
Reason 1: Celsius' valuation has reset to bargain levels Celsius used to trade at nosebleed-inducing valuation multiples. In 2023, shortly after signing a long-term distribution deal with PepsiCo (PEP +0.35%), the stock traded for more than 100x earnings and 15x sales. That premium has evaporated.
Nowadays, Celsius shares are changing hands at 14 times forward earnings estimates with a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio below 1.0. As for the trailing figures, the stock has cooled down to 2.5 times sales. Sure, the trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio remains lofty at 68x, but that's still a big step down and doesn't account for the company's rapidly growing profits.
Celsius is not only far cheaper than arch rival Monster Beverage (MNST +0.87%) but also trading below Pepsi on most metrics. That's not "growth at a reasonable price" but a bargain bin discount. The market seems to expect something to go terribly wrong.
Reason 2: Alani Nu is a rocket ship When Celsius bought Alani Nu in April 2025, skeptics wondered if the company was paying top dollar for a fad. One year later, Alani Nu looks less like a short-lived vogue and more like a durable cheat code.
The brand posted $368 million in first-quarter revenue, up roughly 60% year over year. It's already the largest contributor to Celsius' total quarterly sales, ahead of the core Celsius brand and the classic Rockstar name. Alani Nu's shelf space more than doubled, and its growth tends to accelerate when Celsius introduces it in new distribution channels.
That's not supposed to happen. Fast-growing companies in the consumer goods space usually go after the low-hanging fruit first, allocating their early budgets and efforts to where they expect the best results. Every new distribution channel thereafter should bring slower growth and/or narrower profit margins. Alani Nu is breaking these classic rules.
Limited-time flavors like Cherry Bomb and Lime Slush have become cultural moments for the brand's loyal following, driving trial buys and repeat purchases. The acquisition that looked like an expensive gamble last year is starting to look like a steal.
Reason 3: Celsius sells 21% of U.S. energy drinks Three years ago, Celsius was the scrappy underdog trying to steal a few points of market share from Monster and Red Bull. Today, the company owns three brands and controls over 20% of the U.S. energy drink market.
That's right. One in five energy drinks sold in America now comes from a Celsius Holdings brand.
Celsius itself covers the gym crowd. The brand stands out among energy brands via its focus on wellness and nutrition. Alani Nu appeals to the underserved categories of younger, female, or flavor-obsessed consumers. Social media marketing plays a big role here. The decades-old Rockstar brand, acquired from Pepsi last summer, lets Celsius lean into edgier branding and motor sports sponsorships. A diversified brand portfolio should be more stable than a laser-focused single name. As CEO John Fieldly said at a recent conference, "these brands are more than the liquid in the can. It's like the threads on your shirt. It's the sneakers you wear. It's the authenticity of that brand."
In other words, brand identity matters, and Celsius is casting a wide net with three distinct brands.

Reason 4: Margins are expanding with more room to run Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin hit 24.9% in Q1, up 370 basis points from a year ago. The company banked $50 million in synergies from the Alani Nu deal. A new manufacturing line opens later this year. And the company is widening its profit margins despite rising aluminum can and freight costs. Management is targeting gross margins in the low 50s, up from 48.3% today.
The margin playbook has three pillars:
Celsius is integrating its three brands into a unified structure of shipping, raw material sourcing, and production processes. Both Alani and Rockstar were less profitable than the Celsius brand before their respective buyouts. The company is scaling up its production and marketing to unlock economies of scale. There is currently a single plant in North Carolina, soon to add a second production line. Over time, Celsius plans to build a nationwide supply chain with a West Coast facility and a "center of excellence" in Dublin, Ireland managing the entire system. The booming Alani Nu brand and evolving production setup will help Celsius build more effective marketing packages. The three brands may not overlap each other's target demographics much, but you can cross-sell Rockstar, Alani Nu, and Celsius packages to thirsty families, for example.

Reason 5: World-class distribution partners give Celsius a structural advantage Building a national beverage distribution network from scratch is a bit like building your own railroad. It takes decades, costs billions, and someone else probably already did it better. Celsius solved this problem by partnering with companies that laid the tracks years ago.
In the U.S., PepsiCo's direct-store-delivery network gives Celsius access to trucks, warehouses, and retail relationships that touch virtually every corner of American commerce. Internationally, Japanese food giant Suntory Beverage & Food (STBFY 1.11%) handles distribution in key European markets, Australia, and New Zealand. For relaxing times, make it Suntory time; for energizing times, you can still make it Suntory time.
The domestic PepsiCo partnership is still evolving. Meanwhile, Suntory's European network is helping Celsius build meaningful share abroad; in Paris, the brand has grown from 2% to over 5% market share.
Anders Celsius traveled widely but always returned to Sweden. His namesake energy drink has bigger ambitions.
In the latest close session, Celsius Holdings Inc. (CELH - Free Report) was up +2.75% at $29.18. The stock's performance was ahead of the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.5%. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a rise of 0.7%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw an increase of 0.31%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the company had lost 2.1% lagged the Consumer Staples sector's gain of 1.95% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.23%.
The upcoming earnings release of Celsius Holdings Inc. will be of great interest to investors. The company's upcoming EPS is projected at $0.43, signifying a 8.51% drop compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $901.25 million, up 21.91% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1.59 per share and revenue of $3.35 billion. These totals would mark changes of +18.66% and +33.01%, respectively, from last year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Celsius Holdings Inc. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has remained unchanged. Currently, Celsius Holdings Inc. is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
With respect to valuation, Celsius Holdings Inc. is currently being traded at a Forward P/E ratio of 17.91. This valuation marks a premium compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 12.46.
One should further note that CELH currently holds a PEG ratio of 1.08. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Food - Miscellaneous industry had an average PEG ratio of 2.46 as trading concluded yesterday.
The Food - Miscellaneous industry is part of the Consumer Staples sector. Currently, this industry holds a Zacks Industry Rank of 195, positioning it in the bottom 21% of all 250+ industries.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS) (the "Company"), a leader in environmental and safety solutions, today provided an update on its manufacturing facility in Streator, Illinois following a tornado that impacted the area on June 11, 2026.
Key Takeaways Kinder Morgan transports nearly 40% of U.S. natural gas output through its pipeline network.KMI says over 20% of its $10.1B project backlog is dedicated to rising LNG demand.Kinder Morgan expects LNG facility transport volumes to exceed 12 Bcf/d by the end of 2028. Kinder Morgan (KMI - Free Report) is a leading energy infrastructure company in North America. Its natural gas pipeline network transports nearly 40% of the U.S. natural gas production. The company owns and operates nearly 78,000 miles of pipelines, 136 terminals and more than 700 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of working natural gas storage capacity.
The rising demand for U.S. natural gas, supported by liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, is expected to benefit Kinder Morgan. In fact, the company has highlighted that its extensive natural gas transmission network will allow it to cater to the rising demand for U.S. LNG exports. KMI also added that more than 20% of its $10.1 billion project backlog is dedicated to serving the growing LNG demand. The company currently has long-term contracts to move 8 Bcf/d of natural gas to LNG facilities, and this is expected to surpass 12 Bcf/d by the end of 2028.
Additionally, the increased power generation needs driven by the shift from coal to gas and the expansion of data centers are creating an incremental demand for natural gas. Data centers utilize sophisticated servers that support high computational workloads for processing data and training models, which requires a significant amount of electricity. These demand trends align well with Kinder Morgan’s business model. Its extensive natural gas transmission network, a growing backlog of expansion projects and infrastructure positioned near key LNG export hubs should enable Kinder Morgan to benefit from the long-term growth in natural gas consumption in the United States.
Energy Sector Players to Benefit From Rising Natural Gas DemandThe rise of data centers and higher gas-fired power demand presents an opportunity for Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) to capitalize on. Data centers require a huge amount of electricity, which is driving rapid growth in gas demand. The shift from coal to gas for power generation is increasing gas demand. Enbridge is expected to gain from the expansion of its natural gas storage facilities. ENB carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.
Baker Hughes (BKR - Free Report) is well-positioned to capitalize on the rapid growth in energy demand from data centers. In response to rising data center demand, the company is actively enhancing its capabilities through organic investments in this domain. With nearly $1 billion in data center-related orders registered in 2025, the company is working toward achieving its $3 billion target over the next three years. The rise in power demand is expected to drive energy-infrastructure investments, which, in turn, will contribute to higher demand for Baker Hughes’ IET offerings. BKR has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) at present.
KMI’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Kinder Morgan have jumped 15.3% over the past year compared with the 18.7% improvement of the composite stocks belonging to the industry.

It has been a rough stretch for the market's artificial intelligence (AI) favorites. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped more than 4% last Friday -- its biggest single-day decline since April 2025 -- led by a steep sell-off in chip stocks. And the index fell nearly 2% more on Wednesday. Yet that same day, even as the S&P 500 slid 1.6%, 22 of its stocks hit new 52-week highs -- and 11 of them reached all-time highs.
Three of those record-setters stand out: off-price retailer The TJX Companies (TJX +0.04%), beverage giant Coca-Cola (KO +0.13%), and energy drink specialist Monster Beverage (MNST +0.87%). TJX's record reaches back to its initial public offering in 1987, Coca-Cola's to its 1919 listing, and Monster's to its days as Hansen Natural (before it changed its name to Monster Beverage in 2012). And as of this writing, Coca-Cola and TJX have pushed to fresh highs again in Thursday's session. Notably, the small-cap Russell 2000 index has also outperformed the Nasdaq on the pullback's worst days.
Here's a closer look at what's working at each company -- and what their new highs may say about where money is moving.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. The TJX Companies TJX, the company behind the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls chains, reported results for its fiscal first quarter of 2027 (the period ended May 2, 2026) last month. Net sales rose 9% year over year to $14.3 billion, and comparable sales increased 6%, with every division growing both comparable sales and customer transactions. HomeGoods led the way with a 9% comparable sales increase. And earnings per share jumped 29% to $1.19.
Management also raised its full-year outlook and now expects fiscal 2027 earnings per share of $5.08 to $5.15, up 7% to 9% on a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis.

"Throughout our 50-year history, we believe that the flexibility and resiliency of our business model and our wide customer demographic have been tremendous advantages that have allowed us to successfully navigate through many types of macroeconomic and retail environments," said TJX CEO Ernie Herrman during the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings call.
Investors are paying up for that consistency, with shares trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 32 as of this writing.
2. Coca-Cola But the rotation isn't only lifting retailers. Coca-Cola's first-quarter results, reported in late April, showed steady demand across the beverage giant's portfolio. Organic revenue (which excludes currency swings, acquisitions, and divestitures) grew 10% year over year, alongside 3% growth in unit case volume -- a gauge of demand that strips out pricing.

Profitability was arguably the bigger story. Coca-Cola's operating margin expanded to 35% from 32.9% in the year-ago quarter, helping adjusted earnings per share rise 18% to $0.86.
There's also the dividend, which Coca-Cola raised in February for a 64th consecutive year. The stock yields about 2.5%, and shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 26.
3. Monster Beverage Monster's record may be the most surprising of the group, because the company isn't acting like a defensive stock. In the first quarter, reported in early May, Monster's net sales jumped 26.9% year over year to $2.35 billion -- the first time the company has topped $2 billion in sales in a first quarter. Net sales to customers outside the U.S. surged 44.9% to about $1.06 billion -- about 45% of total sales and the highest share in the company's history for a single quarter.

That growth carried to the bottom line, with operating income climbing 28.1% to $730 million and earnings per share rising 27.6% to $0.58. Of course, the quarter wasn't perfect. Monster's gross margin slipped to 55% from 56.5% a year earlier, weighed down by geographic sales mix and higher aluminum can and freight costs.
Monster shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 44 as of this writing -- a far richer valuation than that of its beverage peer Coca-Cola.
What the rotation means for investors So, what should investors make of this?
I don't think these record highs are a timing signal to dump AI stocks. Market leadership rotates constantly, and chip stocks recovered some ground earlier this week before falling again.
Instead, the takeaway may be that diversification is working the way it's supposed to. While the market's most popular trade tumbled, businesses selling marked-down apparel and everyday beverages quietly set records, steadying portfolios that owned them alongside high-flying tech names.

CompaniesJune 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday it has expanded the use of Dexcom's (DXCM.O), opens new tab Stelo Glucose Biosensor System to children with diabetes, making it the first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor for pediatric use.
Keep up with the latest medical breakthroughs and healthcare trends with the Reuters Health Rounds newsletter. Sign up here.
The device is cleared for patients aged two years and older who do not use insulin. The FDA had previously cleared Stelo for adults aged 18 and older in March 2024.
Stelo uses a wearable sensor and smartphone app to track glucose levels, showing readings and trends every 15 minutes. Each sensor can last up to 15 days, though wear time may be shorter in children, the FDA said.
The device can help children and caregivers understand how meals, exercise and lifestyle changes affect glucose levels, the agency said.
The FDA said children should use the device under adult supervision, and users should consult a healthcare provider before changing medication based on its readings.
The device is not meant for people with problematic low blood sugar, as it is not designed to alert users about that potentially dangerous condition.

Key Takeaways Amkor sees HDFO and 2.5D demand expanding as AI drives advanced chip packaging needs.AMKR's SWIFT and S-Connect support multi-die integration for next-generation data center processors.AMKR's HDFO and 2.5D customer base has grown beyond five customers at the qualification stages. Amkor Technology (AMKR - Free Report) is building a compelling compute growth thesis around its High-Density Fan-Out (HDFO) platform, and the trajectory ahead looks increasingly credible. As AI infrastructure spending accelerates and chipmakers migrate toward heterogeneous architectures requiring tighter die-to-die integration, HDFO-capable outsourced packaging is set to become a structural bottleneck that Amkor is well-placed to address.
Amkor's SWIFT and S-Connect platforms are designed to scale with this demand, offering fine-pitch interconnects and multi-die integration capabilities that position Amkor as a technically differentiated partner for next-generation data center processors. A new CPU program ramping in the second quarter of 2026 is expected to deliver meaningful revenues from the third quarter onward, with volume building further into 2027.
The customer base engaging across HDFO and 2.5D platforms has expanded to more than five customers at varying qualification stages, suggesting the opportunity is broadening well beyond any single program win. Combined advanced packaging volumes are on track to nearly triple in 2026, with utilization at Korean advanced facilities climbing from the low 50% range in the first quarter of 2025 to the low 70% range in the first quarter of 2026.
However, execution risk is real. Supply constraints across advanced silicon and memory have already deferred an estimated $50 million to $100 million in revenues, and Arizona facility preparation costs are expected to weigh on operating margins in 2027, ahead of meaningful production revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $1.8 billion, implying 19.31% year-over-year growth. If HDFO qualification timelines hold and the customer base continues to broaden, growing adoption of the platform across compute programs could meaningfully strengthen Amkor's compute growth opportunity.
AMKR Faces Stiff CompetitionAmkor faces stiff competition from Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) and FormFactor (FORM - Free Report) on the HDFO opportunity.
Intel Corporation is scaling its EMIB and EMIB-T platforms as an alternative high-density interconnect solution, targeting hyperscaler and data center CPU customers that Amkor's HDFO pipeline also depends on.
FormFactor is expanding its HDFO-compatible probe card capacity through a new Texas facility, with FormFactor's Foundry and Logic revenues growing strongly on data center CPU demand.
Intel Corporation and FormFactor together highlight how crowded the HDFO addressable market is becoming, reinforcing the execution risk Amkor faces in qualifying and scaling its HDFO programs before competitors deepen their footholds.

CompaniesJune 12 (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms cut the number of rigs operating for the first time in eight weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes (BKR.O), opens new tab said in a closely followed report on Friday.
The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by 1 to 562 in the week to June 12. , , ,
The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.
Baker Hughes said this week's decline puts the total rig count up 7, or 1.3% higher, compared to this time last year.
Baker Hughes said the number of oil rigs rose by 2 to 433 this week, the highest total since June 2025, while gas rigs fell by 3 to 121, the lowest since October 2025.
The oil and gas rig count declined by 7% in 2025, 5% in 2024 and 20% in 2023 as lower U.S. oil prices prompted energy firms to focus more on boosting shareholder returns and paying down debt rather than increasing output.
But with spot U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices expected to rise in 2026 due to supply disruptions from the Iran war, after declines in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected crude output would rise to 13.7 million barrels per day in 2026 from a record 13.6 million bpd in 2025.
On the gas side, EIA projected output would jump to 111.0 billion cubic feet per day in 2026 from a record 107.7 bcfd in 2025 as demand for the fuel rises to produce electricity for power-hungry data centers and for export as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Key Takeaways Datadog's GPU Monitoring extends AI observability into GPU performance, utilization and efficiency.DDOG serves 6,500 customers using AI integrations, representing roughly 80% of annual recurring revenue.Datadog won AI-related deals with major research organizations using GPU Monitoring at scale. Datadog’s (DDOG - Free Report) expanding AI opportunity is increasingly tied to its ability to become a critical observability layer for AI infrastructure. GPU Monitoring strengthens that position by extending Datadog's platform deeper into one of the most expensive and performance-sensitive components of AI deployments. As enterprises and AI-native companies scale training and inference workloads, monitoring GPU utilization, efficiency, and performance is becoming essential to controlling costs and maximizing returns on AI investments.
The strategic significance lies in GPU Monitoring's integration within Datadog's broader AI observability stack. Rather than offering a standalone monitoring tool, Datadog connects GPU telemetry with application performance, infrastructure monitoring, LLM observability and workflow analytics. This unified approach is likely to increase platform adoption among AI customers while creating additional cross-sell opportunities across its expanding product portfolio. Datadog serves over 6,500 customers using one or more AI integrations, representing roughly 80% of annual recurring revenue, highlighting how AI-related workloads are becoming increasingly central to growth.
Early customer wins indicate that GPU Monitoring is already resonating with large-scale AI deployments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Datadog secured significant AI-related contracts supporting some of the world's largest AI research organizations, where GPU Monitoring is helping optimize hyperscale training environments. The pace at which this demand scales beyond a concentrated set of frontier customers, however, remains a variable to watch.
The first-quarter 2026 revenues increased 32% year over year to $1.01 billion, while customers with annual recurring revenue above $100,000 grew 21% to 4,550. DDOG has raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $4.30-$4.34 billion, indicating 25%-27% year-over-year growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DDOG's 2026 revenues is pegged at $4.31 billion, indicating 25.71% year-over-year growth, suggesting GPU Monitoring could become an increasingly meaningful contributor to Datadog's AI revenue opportunity.
Datadog Faces Stiff CompetitionDatadog faces stiff competition from Dynatrace (DT - Free Report) and Cisco Systems (CSCO - Free Report) in the GPU monitoring space. Cisco Systems, through its Splunk platform, offers GPU visibility as part of its AI-Ready POD infrastructure stack, while Dynatrace provides GPU and TPU telemetry within its broader AI observability suite.
However, both Cisco Systems and Dynatrace approach GPU monitoring as a bolt-on extension of existing tooling rather than a purpose-built, fleet-level solution with integrated cost attribution and cross-sell architecture at its core. Datadog's unified approach, connecting GPU telemetry directly with LLM observability and application performance monitoring, represents a structurally deeper proposition than what either Dynatrace or Cisco currently offers in this specific domain.
DDOG’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Datadog have appreciated 72.3% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s return of 13.2%.

The midstream MLP space rarely makes headlines, but a fractured global energy supply chain has turned Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD | EPD Price Prediction) into a magnet for income capital. Units are up 21.79% year to date, outpacing the S&P 500’s 6.38%, as Strait of Hormuz disruptions push international buyers toward U.S. NGL, LPG, and ethane logistics. The question for retirees: is the distribution safe?
Distribution Snapshot Metric Value Annualized Distribution $2.20 Yield 5.79% Consecutive Years of Growth 27 Most Recent Increase 2.8% (April 2026) Aristocrat/King Status Shadow King (MLP, not S&P member) The Payout Math Has a Wrinkle Worth Understanding Enterprise paid $4.678 billion in distributions in 2025 against $8.585 billion in operating cash flow and $2.965 billion in free cash flow. FY 2025 EPS of $2.66 against a $2.18 calendar distribution puts the earnings payout near 82%, normal for an MLP given heavy depreciation add-backs.
Metric Value Assessment Earnings Payout ~82% Normal for MLP FCF Payout (FY25) 0.63x cover Elevated (growth capex) OCF Coverage 1.83x Strong DCF Coverage (Q2 25) 1.6x Healthy The FCF gap reflects a $5.3 billion growth project backlog, not distribution stress. 2026 growth capex drops to $2.3 to $2.6 billion from $4.5 billion, the FCF inflection management has telegraphed.
Debt Is Heavy but Well-Termed Metric Value Total Debt $34.2B EBITDA (TTM) $9.79B Net Debt/EBITDA ~3.5x (manageable for IG midstream) Beta 0.469 27 Years, No Cuts, and Buybacks on Top Year Annual Distribution 2026 (run rate) $2.20 2025 $2.17 2024 $2.09 2023 $1.99 2022 $1.89 The streak held through 2020 at $0.445 quarterly. Co-CEO AJ Teague also bought 2,665 units at $37.55 in March 2026.
Management Is Pointing at the Cash Inflection Co-CEO Jim Teague on the Q1 2026 call: “Our DCF for the quarter supported a 2.8 percent increase in our cash distribution rate to common unitholders and allowed us to retain $1.5 billion of DCF to reinvest… and fund $116 million of buybacks.” On the macro setup: “As a result of the recent disruption of exports from the Middle East, we are seeing strong demand for the security and reliability of U.S. energy exports.”
Verdict: Very Safe Dividend Safety Rating: Very Safe. DCF coverage of 1.6x, OCF coverage of 1.83x, a 27-year streak, and a winding-down capex cycle give me high confidence in the payout. The bull case for Enterprise rests on record 1.9 MMBPD fractionation volumes and growing LPG export demand. The key risk is NGL prices collapsing below $0.50/gallon and forcing marketing margin compression deeper than 2026 guidance assumes. For retirees, this is one of the cleanest 5.79% yields in the energy complex.
Key Takeaways EPD's fee-based contracts and vast pipeline network help reduce commodity price exposure.Enterprise returned $5.1B in capital over the trailing-12 months ended Q1 2026.EPD plans to align distribution growth with operational DCF per unit while preserving financial flexibility. Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) , a well-known name in the midstream energy landscape, earns consistent fee-based income backed by long-term contracts with shippers. The partnership owns a pipeline network that spans more than 50,000 miles, transporting crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and refined products across North America. EPD’s midstream business model reduces exposure to commodity price volatility and supports stable cash flow generation. This enables the partnership to consistently return capital to unitholders across business cycles.
The partnership has returned more than $63 billion to equity investors through distributions and buybacks since its IPO. For the trailing-12 months ended in the first quarter of 2026, Enterprise returned approximately $5.1 billion of capital. Of this amount, 93% or approximately $4.8 billion was returned directly to unitholders in the form of distributions, while the remaining 7% through common unit repurchases. Notably, the partnership has consistently increased its distribution to unitholders for 27 consecutive years.
Enterprise’s consistent distribution growth is supported by a disciplined approach to capital allocation. The partnership has highlighted that moving forward, its distribution growth will be consistent with its growth in operational distributable cash flow (DCF) per unit. Operational DCF is a liquidity measure that represents the cash available for distributions that is generated from its core operations.
Additionally, the partnership noted that its discretionary free cash flow, which is anticipated to reach $1 billion in 2026, will be allocated toward paying down its debt and unit buybacks. This approach enables EPD to preserve its financial flexibility while supporting consistent capital returns.
Other Energy Sector Players Prioritize Shareholder ReturnsSunoco LP (SUN - Free Report) is a wholesale motor fuel distributor in the United States, distributing motor fuels of several brands through long-term distribution agreements with nearly 9,000 distribution facilities, which support steady cash flows. The partnership declared a distribution of 98.99 cents per unit in the first quarter of 2026, marking a sequential increase of 6.25% or a 10% increase from the prior-quarter figure of 89.76 cents per unit. For 2026, the partnership aims to meet its distribution growth target of at least 5%. This reflects the partnership’s strong commitment to returning capital to unitholders.
Antero Midstream (AM - Free Report) provides integrated midstream services to the leading natural gas producer, Antero Resources Corporation, under long-term contracts. This enables the midstream player to generate stable earnings and cash flows. Antero Midstream continues to return capital to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases. The company repurchased 1.0 million shares under its authorized share repurchase program in the first quarter of 2026. This reflects the company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Tech networking equipment company Arista Networks (ANET +4.48%) is going into the weekend on a high note. Its stock zoomed more than 4% higher on Friday, thanks to a new, bullish note from an analyst at an influential investment bank.
The $10 per share difference Before market open, Meta Marshall of Morgan Stanley raised her price target on Arista to $190 per share from $180. In doing so, the analyst maintained her overweight (read: buy) recommendation on the specialty tech stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
According to reports, Marshall's adjustment is based on her view that since many artificial intelligence (AI) implementations have reached the inference -- i.e., implementation -- stage, as opposed to the training phase, next-generation equipment makers are well positioned to benefit handsomely.
This also applies to what the pundit termed "CPU intensity," as more processing power is needed for the effective functioning of AI models.

High value If anything, Marshall might be understating the case and underestimating Arista's potential. The company is not only a trusted supplier in its cloud networking segment but one that's about to ride a very large wave as AI implementations continue to scale up. This is a very attractive company and stock at the moment, and this price target bump is more than justified.

ArcBest (ARCB - Free Report) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade primarily reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates, which is one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company's changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for ArcBest basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for ArcBest imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsAs empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Earnings Estimate Revisions for ArcBestThis freight transportation and logistics company is expected to earn $5.87 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2026, which represents no year-over-year change.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for ArcBest. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 23.2%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of ArcBest to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Of course. So I guess just to start things off, you came off a really strong Q1. You cleared the 1 million unit milestone for the first time in a single quarter, raised full year revenue guide. Maybe walk us through a high level what you saw in the quarter and then how things have changed since then?
Mike Brophy
Chief Financial Officer
Yes. Well, we had a great quarter. I mean, we had another record Signatera volume growth quarter. We had an absolutely massive women's health quarter as a record on a number of different levels just in terms of volumes. Realized pricing was outstanding across the board, COGS per unit was actually outstanding across the board, if you look at the specific unit economics and the COGS per test that we delivered, had a very strong set of data that we just released at ASCO, I guess, last weekend, circa last weekend, that was very encouraging. So we're on a fantastic trajectory here.
Looking into the rest of the year, we significantly bumped the revenue guide. We bumped the gross margin guide. We even bumped the R&D guide this year, which I viewed as a positive because what that meant was that

- Provides stable AC power whenever and wherever it's needed, with configurable input modules to connect multiple energy assets
LONDON, June 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Energy, a global leader in electrification, has introduced HyFlex(R) Compact - a hybrid generator and flexible power hub that provides zero-emission electricity for temporary and off-grid applications such as construction projects and other infrastructure. The configurable system combines hydrogen fuel cells with high-performance batteries and can integrate additional power sources, delivering stable AC power as a clean alternative to diesel generation.
As electricity demand rises, companies across industry and infrastructure are electrifying operations and cutting emissions, often in locations where grid connections are limited or unavailable. This is increasing demand for flexible power solutions that can perform reliably acrossa wide range of operating conditions, from remote sites to grid-connected environments.
Addressing these requirements calls for power solutions that go beyond single technologies, supported by robust system expertise and integration capabilities. Designed for standalone or grid-connected operation, Hitachi Energy's HyFlex Compact combines hydrogen fuel cells, batteries, power electronics, cooling, and auxiliaries in a single, portable enclosure, all managed by an optimized control system. The system converts hydrogen into clean electricity using fuel cells, producing power, heat, and water with no harmful emissions.
With optional AC and DC input modules, Hyflex Compact can operate as a mobile microgrid, connecting multiple energy assets, providing stable AC power whenever and wherever it is needed. This enables more efficient operation and reduces reliance on hydrogen when additional power sources are available.
"The energy system is being asked to deliver more electricity, with lower emissions and higher resilience, often in places where the grid was never designed for today's demands," said Marco Berardi, Head of Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service at Hitachi Energy. "HyFlex Compact brings together different technologies through system integration expertise to support a secure electricity supply as energy systems evolve, while helping companies move toward lower emission power."
HyFlex Compact is suitable for applications across a wide range of operating environments, from construction sites and temporary infrastructure such as events and festivals to electric vehicle charging, mining operations, remote industrial sites, critical infrastructure, and hard-to-abate operating environments.
The introduction of the flexible power hub marks an evolutionary step, building on Hitachi Energy's earlier HyFlex developments. Initial pilots explored hydrogen-to-power applications and provided valuable insight into integrating fuel cells, power electronics, and control systems in real-world operating environments1.
Hitachi Energy continues to bring flexible, low-emission solutions to market, underpinned by its expertise in power electronics and system integration. Recent investments in power electronics capabilities, including the inauguration of the Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service Test Center in Vasteras, Sweden, and the announcement of a new Power Electronics Center of Competence in the United States*1, underscore the company's focus on strengthening the technologies needed to support secure, affordable, sustainable and resilient electricity systems.*1 Hitachi Energy expands its U.S. footprint with $10 million USD investment in North Carolina to meet surging electricity demand
