The TiVo One advertising platform integrates with the device’s operating system on certain “Powered by TiVo” devices, including smart TVs and video-over-broadband products.
Calculation of Average Revenue Per User for TiVo One
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for TiVo One is calculated by dividing monetization revenue within Media Platform for the trailing four quarters by the average number of TiVo One Monthly Active Users during that same period. Monetization revenue includes all advertising and data monetization revenue from the TiVo One platform and from other parts of our Media Platform business. This metric helps investors and management measure how effectively the Company monetizes its user base through advertising and data on its platforms.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company’s press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP Operating Income/(Loss), Non-GAAP Net Income/(Loss), Non-GAAP Net Income/(Loss) Per Share, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and Non-GAAP Tax Expense.
Non-GAAP Operating Income/(Loss) is defined as GAAP Operating Income/(Loss), less the impact of stock-based compensation; amortization of intangible assets; transaction, integration and restructuring costs; severance and retention costs; and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Non-GAAP Net Income/(Loss) is defined as GAAP Net Income/(Loss) excluding the impact of stock-based compensation; amortization of intangible assets; transaction, integration and restructuring costs; severance and retention costs; and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance; and related tax effects for each adjustment.
Non-GAAP Net Income/(Loss) Per Share is defined as Non-GAAP Income/(Loss) divided by Non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding - diluted.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP Net Income/(Loss), less the impact of interest expense; provision for income taxes; stock-based compensation; depreciation expense; amortization of intangible assets; amortization of capitalized cloud computing costs; transaction, integration and restructuring costs; severance and retention costs; and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less cash investments for capitalized internal-use software and purchases of property and equipment.
Non-GAAP Tax Expense is defined as the GAAP provision for income taxes, adjusted to reflect the net direct and indirect income tax effects of the various non-GAAP pretax adjustments.
Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this press release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business and financial performance and provide a better understanding of our core operating results reflecting our normal business operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as adjusted EBITDA, do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. All financial data is presented on a GAAP basis except where the Company indicates its presentation is on a non-GAAP basis.
Set forth below are reconciliations of the Company’s reported GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Xperi (XPER - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.23 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.2 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.16 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +15.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this media software company would post earnings of $0.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.24, delivering a surprise of -17.24%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Xperi, which belongs to the Zacks Technology Services industry, posted revenues of $114.21 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.95%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $114.03 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three 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.
Xperi shares have added about 18.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%.
What's Next for Xperi?While Xperi has outperformed 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 Xperi was mixed. 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 #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with 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 $0.10 on $110.17 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.90 on $463.79 million 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, Technology Services is currently in the bottom 28% 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 same industry, SKYX Platforms Corp. (SKYX - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +22.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
SKYX Platforms Corp.'s revenues are expected to be $21.3 million, up 5.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Momentum investing is essentially the opposite of the tried-and-tested Wall Street adage -- "buy low and sell high." Investors following this investing style typically avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. They believe instead that one could make far more money in lesser time by "buying high and selling higher."
Who doesn't like betting on fast-moving trending stocks? But determining the right entry point isn't easy. Often, these stocks lose momentum once their valuation moves ahead of their future growth potential. In such a situation, investors find themselves loaded up on expensive shares with limited to no upside or even a downside. So, going all-in on momentum could be risky at times.
It could be safer to invest in bargain stocks that have been witnessing price momentum recently. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to trends in a stock's price or earnings, is pretty useful in identifying great momentum stocks, our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
Xperi (XPER - Free Report) is one of the several great candidates that made it through the screen. While there are numerous reasons why this stock is a great choice, here are the most vital ones:
A dash of recent price momentum reflects growing interest of investors in a stock. With a four-week price change of 10.9%, the stock of this media software company is certainly well-positioned in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. XPER meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 35.1% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for XPER is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.37. This indicates that the stock moves 37% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that XPER has a Momentum Score of A, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped XPER earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Households returned to 10+ video services while daily viewing surpassed five hours, marking the highest engagement levels since 2021
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TiVo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Inc. (NYSE: XPER), today released its Q4 2025 Video Trends Report, which reinforces that video serves as a historically resilient, high-priority category, even as the entertainment landscape grows increasingly fragmented and competitive.
The report finds that even amid economic pressures that could impact discretionary entertainment spending, consumers continue to prioritize home entertainment, watching more video daily than at any time since 2021. In Q4 2025, engagement continued to climb, with households returning to more than 10 video services on average following a brief decline last year, daily viewing surpassing five hours and monthly entertainment spending rising to $161, reflecting year-over-year growth after a post-pandemic dip. The findings reinforce that video serves as a historically resilient, high-priority category, even as the entertainment landscape grows increasingly fragmented and competitive.
As entertainment ecosystems continue to expand, viewing preferences themselves remain relatively stable. About half of respondents prefer streaming services to release an entire season at once, compared to roughly 20% who favor a weekly episode rollout, emphasizing a continued demand for convenience and flexible viewing experiences.
“Consumers are watching more video than ever before, but they’re enjoying that content across an increasingly fragmented mix of platforms and services,” said Geir Skaaden, chief products and services officer at Xperi. “As the entertainment ecosystem continues to expand, helping viewers easily discover and access the content they want has become more important than ever. For advertisers and platforms alike, delivering simple, seamless viewing experiences will be critical to reaching audiences and keeping them engaged.”
As viewing time rises, discovery friction grows
While viewing continues to expand across platforms, content discovery remains a growing challenge. As households manage more services, viewers are navigating a complex content ecosystem, with 40% of consumers checking two to three different apps before deciding what to watch. Additionally, discovery is shifting beyond the platforms themselves with word of mouth (49%) and social media (40%) most often influencing viewers. This reliance on external inputs, combined with increased fragmentation, is making content discovery less efficient and more frustrating for viewers.
Local content stays on top
Looking at consumed content, local programming accounts for nearly 30% of total viewing time, an increase of approximately five percentage points year-over-year. Sports also remain a key driver of engagement, with nearly 60% of sports viewers relying on pay TV as their primary source. Live and local content continue to anchor viewing behavior in a notably fragmented environment.
“The number of viewing options available to consumers continues to grow, but what is most notable is how audiences are responding to that expansion,” said TVREV’s co-founder and lead analyst, Alan Wolk. “Consumers are becoming more selective about where they spend their time and money, and entertainment services remain a priority. Live sports and local programming serve as important anchors, while the broader market is shifting toward simpler, more value-conscious viewing choices. The industry is entering a phase where effective curation and discovery matter just as much as scale.”
While viewing expands, simplicity becomes essential
The report reflects a video ecosystem defined by expanding choice, stronger engagement and increased complexity. Consumers are watching more content across more services, but they are also placing greater value on simplicity, convenience and efficient discovery. For content providers, distributors and advertisers, the findings underscore a growing opportunity to improve how viewers navigate and connect with content in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Additional TiVo Video Trends Report highlights:
Ad-supported growth: More than half of consumers (54%) now use ad-supported subscription tiers, while AVOD/FAST adoption rose to 70% in Q4 2025, up five percentage points year-over-year. AVOD and FAST services now account for 13% of total viewing time. FAST audiences are watching more: The average FAST user now watches 7.5 channels, up more than two channels year-over-year. Pluto TV, Tubi, Roku Channel and Amazon Prime Video remain the leading FAST destinations. Discovery extends beyond apps: Smart TV home screens are becoming increasingly important gateways for content discovery and advertising, with owners spending 57% of their non-viewing time on the home screen. Consumers are prioritizing value: More than 35% of consumers routinely reassess subscriptions and viewing choices to balance cost, access and content availability. Fragmentation fuels discovery challenges: As the number of services grows, 40% of consumers report checking multiple apps before deciding what to watch.

Despite a challenging macro and regulatory environment in China, we delivered resilient full-year results, with Group revenue of RMB13.6 billion, up 3.8% year over year, and net profit rising 6.6% to RMB2.5 billion. Our effective 'Local Excellence, Global Outlook' strategy drove international revenue to a record 31.4% contribution in the fourth quarter, highlighted by full-year profitability in Indonesia and the Philippines.
"We also made a strategic entry into our first developed market, Australia, employing the regulatory maturity and consumer-first mindset we have developed in China alongside our successful experience scaling in Southeast Asia. Going forward, our resilient risk management, ongoing AI innovation investments, and responsible growth will ensure prudent management of our China business while continue to accelerate sustainable international expansion. As we build on our international momentum, we remain committed to delivering growth and enduring value for our users, partners, and shareholders through disciplined execution," concluded Mr. Li.
Mr. Jiayuan Xu, Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, continued, "In the fourth quarter, we navigated a complex environment, prioritizing portfolio quality in China while sustaining strong growth internationally. Group net revenue was RMB3.0 billion and net income was RMB415.5 million, reflecting the near-term impact of tighter underwriting in China, offset by a 28.6% year-over-year increase in international revenues. We also recorded robust international transaction volume growth of 41.4% year over year to RMB4.1 billion and unique borrowers up 133.8% to 3.8 million, underscoring the resilience of our diversified model and our ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic landscape.
"Meanwhile, we continued to deliver meaningful shareholder returns, executing US$107.2 million in full-year buybacks, including a record US$40.7 million in the fourth quarter, and increasing our dividend per ADS by 10.5% to US$0.306, totaling approximately US$74.5 million for 2025. Our Chairman and senior management team recently invested an additional US$1.9 million of their own capital, reflecting strong internal confidence in our valuation and long-term prospects. We will continue to advance our strategy with a clear emphasis on execution quality and portfolio resilience, balancing growth and risk management to drive sustainable returns and value creation," concluded Mr. Xu.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB3,023.9 million (US$432.4 million), compared with RMB3,456.7 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan facilitation service fees, post-facilitation service fees and guarantee income, partially offset by increases in net interest income and other revenue.
Loan facilitation service fees were RMB848.9 million (US$121.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,344.8 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the China market, partially offset by the increase in transaction volume in international markets.
Post-facilitation service fees were RMB392.8 million (US$56.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB460.5 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB948.5 million (US$135.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,205.5 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment.
Net interest income was RMB471.9 million (US$67.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB217.9 million for the same period of 2024. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets, partially offset by the decrease in interest yield in the China market.
Other revenue was RMB361.8 million (US$51.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB228.0 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams including other value-added services.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB847.3 million (US$121.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB664.0 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in employee expenditures and higher loan collection expenses in both China and the international markets.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB512.4 million (US$73.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB531.5 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to improved efficiency and decreased investment in marketing activities in China.
Research and development expenses were RMB142.6 million (US$20.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB126.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased investments in technology development.
General and administrative expenses were RMB124.5 million (US$17.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB112.6 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to higher professional service fees in the international market.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB106.4 million (US$15.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB95.1 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the international market, partially offset by decrease in volume of off-balance sheet loans in the China market.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB261.7 million (US$37.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB64.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB546.4 million (US$78.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,075.0 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market.
Operating profit was RMB482.7 million (US$69.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB787.9 million for the same period of 2024.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB519.8 million (US$74.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB822.0 million for the same period of 2024.
Other income was RMB20.8 million (US$3.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB25.9 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to lower gains from a reduction in investment products.
Income tax expense was RMB87.9 million (US$12.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB133.1 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax profit.
Net profit was RMB415.5 million (US$59.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB680.8 million for the same period of 2024.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB424.7 million (US$60.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB680.7 million for the same period of 2024.
Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.63 (US$0.23) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.33 (US$0.05) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB2.61 and RMB0.52 for the same period of 2024, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Net revenue for 2025 was RMB13,569.5 million (US$ 1,940.4 million), compared with RMB13,065.8 million in 2024. This increase was primarily due to increases in loan facilitation service fees, net interest income and other revenue, partially offset by decreases in guarantee income and post-facilitation service fees.
Loan facilitation service fees were RMB5,176.5 million (US$740.2 million) for 2025, compared with RMB4,694.4 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the international markets, partially offset by the decreases in transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the China market.
Post-facilitation service fees were RMB1,629.8 million (US$233.1 million) for 2025, compared with RMB1,740.2 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB4,124.9 million (US$589.9 million) for 2025, compared with RMB5,085.3 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, partially offset by an increase in such loans in international markets, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment.
Net interest income was RMB1,336.5 million (US$191.1 million) for 2025, compared with RMB853.8 million in 2024. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets.
Other revenue was RMB1,301.9 million (US$186.2 million) for 2025, compared with RMB692.1 million in 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams including other value-added services.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB2,900.1 million (US$414.7 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,381.8 million in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher facilitation costs in both China and international markets.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB2,200.5 million (US$314.7 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,014.3 million in 2024 as a result of our more proactive customer acquisition efforts focusing on quality borrowers in both China and the international markets.
Research and development expenses were RMB536.6 million (US$76.7 million) for 2025, compared with RMB496.7 million in 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased investments in technology development.
General and administrative expenses were RMB442.1 million (US$63.2 million) for 2025, compared with RMB413.5 million in 2024, primarily due to increases in rents and renovation expenses, professional service fees and miscellaneous administrative expenses.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB426.0 million (US$60.9 million) for 2025, compared with RMB317.0 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the international market.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB637.7 million (US$91.2 million) for 2025, compared with RMB320.0 million in 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB3,462.4 million (US$495.1 million) for 2025, compared with RMB4,587.3 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, partially offset by the increase in risk-bearing loans in the international markets.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was RMB50.7 million (US$7.2 million) for 2025, compared with nil for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an impairment of goodwill related to a certain micro-lending company acquired by the Group in 2017, following a performance review during the year.
Operating profit was RMB2,913.3 million (US$416.6 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,535.1 million in 2024.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB3,062.3 million (US$437.9 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,679.2 million in 2024.
Other income was RMB188.1 million (US$26.9 million) for 2025, compared with RMB310.1 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly due to lower gains from a reduction in investment products, reduced income from investments, and the reduction in government subsidies.
Income tax expense was RMB556.2 million (US$79.5 million) for 2025, compared with RMB457.4 million in 2024. This increase was mainly due to the increase in pre-tax profit and the increase in effective tax rate.
Net profit was RMB2,545.2 million (US$364.0 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,387.8 million in 2024.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB2,542.4 million (US$363.6 million) for 2025, compared with RMB2,383.1 million in 2024.
Shares Repurchase Update and Management Purchase
For the full year of 2025, the Company deployed approximately US$107.2 million to repurchase its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. These repurchases included US$60.7 million worth of ADSs that were repurchased concurrently with the offering of convertible senior notes in June. As of December 31, 2025, in combination with the Company's historical and existing share repurchase programs, the Company had cumulatively repurchased its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs with a total aggregate value of approximately US$477.3 million since 2018.
In December 2025, Chairman of the Board Mr. Shaofeng Gu and other senior management of the Company, purchased in their personal capacity approximately 0.37 million of the Company's ADS, with a total aggregate value of approximately US$1.9 million, independently of the Company's share repurchase programs. The share purchases by senior management reflect strong conviction in the Company's resilient business model, solid fundamentals, and accelerating international expansion. We believe these strengths, supported by the current valuation, position the Company well to execute its "Local Excellence, Global Outlook" strategy and deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders.
Business Outlook
Through prudent navigation of a complex environment, the Company delivered solid results in 2025. As a result of the near-term uncertainties introduced by recent regulatory changes in China, the Company expects its full-year 2026 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion, representing a year-over-year decline of approximately 5% to 15%.
The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers' and institutional partners' demands, all of which are subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and expected discretionary measures. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Aggressive buybacks below 0.6x book and a 50% payout ratio cap downside, while international scaling and Fundo's Australian entry offer rerating potential.

FinVolution reported FY25 results with revenue down to CNY3 billion and operating income down 39%, pressured by regulatory and credit headwinds. International expansion continues to be strong, reaching 25% of revenue and a $15 million profit in a phase where underwritings and customer acquisitions are especially costly. There are some headwinds in delinquencies. Domestically, regulations are to blame. Internationally, digital credit quality deteriorated amid broader rate cuts. This type of shock should normalize as regulations are tightening.

SHANGHAI, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FinVolution Group has officially launched the 2026 FinVolution Global Data Science Competition. This year's challenge focused on turn-taking modeling in conversations, with the aim of giving voice AI a sense of when to speak.
Voice interaction has reached the native-audio era, with AI now responding in real time. What it still lacks is something humans do by instinct: knowing when to take a turn, when to stay silent, and when a brief "mm-hm" is the right reply. Without it, even the fastest model talks over users or lets dialogue stall.
This year's participants will be given thirty seconds of dual-channel dialogue as context, predict the speech events likely to occur in the next 800 milliseconds, equipping AI with the social intuition to read user intent and respond at the right moment.
The dataset behind the challenge is built from real dual-channel telephone conversations recorded across 35 regions of China, spanning a wide range of dialects and speaking styles. Audio comes paired with ASR transcripts and word-level timestamps, allowing participants to build pure-audio or multimodal systems.
"For more than a decade, this competition has been our way of connecting academic research with real-world application," said Tiezheng Li, CEO of FinVolution Group. "Turn-taking is one of the open problems in voice interaction today. We hope what's built here reaches far beyond research, letting millions of users experience more natural, more human conversation in everyday life."
The 2026 challenge is supported by the China Computer Federation(CCF) Technical Committee on Natural Language Processing as academic advisor, in collaboration with Fudan University's Natural Language Processing Lab. It is also an official partner competition of the 15th CCF International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Chinese Computing(NLPCC 2026). Top-performing teams will earn a direct path to present at NLPCC 2026 alongside the global NLP research community.
Competition Timeline
The 2026 challenge offers a prize pool of RMB 308,000 (approximately USD 42,900) and will unfold in three stages:
Preliminary Round (May 13 – June 19): Participants train locally and submit their prediction results for real-time scoring by the end of June 16. The list of teams advancing to the semifinals will be announced on June 19.
Semifinals (June 20 – July 16): Semifinalists are required to submit Docker images for evaluation by the end of July 7. Finalists will be announced on July 16.
Final Round (July 16 – late July): Finalists will compete in person before a panel of judges, with the exact date to be announced separately.
Registration is now open through the official competition platform:https://ai.ppdai.com/mirror/show?channel=media1
Over its eleven editions, the FinVolution Global Data Science Competition has drawn close to 10,000 participants from universities, research labs, and technology companies around the world. Past challenges have spanned deepfake detection, credit scoring, fraud detection, user behavior modeling, and dialect recognition. Partnerships with top AI conferences such as IJCAI (2024), CIKM (2025), and now NLPCC (2026) reflect its rising stature in the global AI ecosystem.

Mr. Tiezheng Li, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, "In the first quarter, we delivered continued growth in our overseas business and a resilient performance in the Chinese Mainland segment against an evolving regulatory backdrop, demonstrating the strength of our two-engine model. Beginning this quarter, we are reporting our overseas business as a separate reportable segment, reflecting our strategic trajectory and the earnings power of our diversified business.
"In our Chinese Mainland segment, we executed with discipline, acquiring approximately 0.6 million new borrowers while prioritizing asset quality, customer quality and unit economics. The segment remained stable and profitable, reinforcing its role as the anchor of our operating cash flow.
"Our Overseas Markets segment delivered robust year-over-year revenue growth, contributing 29.6% of our total first quarter revenue. Our 'Local Excellence, Global Outlook+' strategy of transferring proven risk management and operational capabilities across regions drove strong year-over-year loan volume growth and more than doubled our unique overseas borrowers, underscoring our accelerating global traction.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to manage our China business prudently while expanding our overseas platform with deeper integration into the local ecosystems. Supported by strong technology advantages and a healthy balance sheet, we are well-positioned to continue creating durable value for customers and delivering sustainable financial returns for our stakeholders," concluded Mr. Li.
Mr. Jiayuan Xu, Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, continued, "Total net revenues for the first quarter were RMB3.2 billion, up 6.2% sequentially. Early signs of credit recovery in our Chinese Mainland business supported a recovery in loan origination volume to RMB38.5 billion, driving a 6.9% sequential increase in Chinese Mainland net revenue to RMB2.2 billion. In our overseas markets, revenue grew 34.5% year over year to RMB948.9 million, and operating profit reached RMB45.8 million, up 87.7% year over year, highlighting our overseas platform's scalability and growing operating leverage.
"Meanwhile, we continued to return capital to our shareholders, executing share repurchases totaling US$39.4 million in the first quarter alongside our 8th annual dividend of US$0.306 per ADS in May, a 10.5% increase year over year. We reiterate our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion, which reflects the expected near-term impact of China's regulatory environment. We remain confident in the resilience of our model and committed to long-term value creation," concluded Mr. Xu.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB3,210.1 million (US$465.4 million), compared with RMB3,481.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan facilitation service fees, post-facilitation service fees and guarantee income, partially offset by increases in net interest income and other revenue.
Loan facilitation service fees were RMB1,181.3 million (US$171.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,477.8 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in transaction volume in overseas markets.
Post-facilitation service fees were RMB348.3 million (US$50.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB380.6 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB886.1 million (US$128.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,099.5 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment.
Net interest income was RMB484.7 million (US$70.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB241.6 million for the same period of 2025. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets, partially offset by the decrease in interest yield in the Chinese Mainland market.
Other revenue was RMB309.7 million (US$44.9 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB281.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams, including other value-added services.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB745.2 million (US$108.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB620.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in employee expenditures and higher loan collection expenses in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB492.4 million (US$71.4 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB529.7 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to improved efficiency and decreased investment in marketing activities in the Chinese Mainland market.
Research and development expenses were RMB125.5 million (US$18.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB126.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to efficiency improvements in technology development.
General and administrative expenses were RMB113.8 million (US$16.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB106.9 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to an increase in office expenses.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB111.5 million (US$16.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB117.7 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in volume of off-balance sheet loans in overseas markets.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB218.1 million (US$31.6 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB85.4 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB856.6 million (US$124.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,011.6 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market.
Operating profit was RMB546.8 million (US$79.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB883.2 million for the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB585.0 million (US$84.8 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB917.9 million for the same period of 2025.
Other income/(expenses) was an expense of RMB15.5 million (US$2.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with income of RMB9.0 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to foreign exchange losses.
Income tax expense was RMB93.1 million (US$13.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB153.9 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax profit.
Net profit was RMB421.1 million (US$61.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB737.6 million for the same period of 2025.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB415.1 million (US$60.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB746.4 million for the same period of 2025.
Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.65 (US$0.24) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.33 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.84 and RMB0.57 for the same period of 2025, respectively.
Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.80 (US$0.26) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.36 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.97 and RMB0.59 for the same period of 2025, respectively. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB4,687.8 million (US$679.6 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products and term deposits, of RMB2,643.8 million (US$383.3 million).
The following chart shows the historical cumulative 30-day plus past due delinquency rates by loan origination vintage for loan products facilitated through the Company's platform in the Chinese Mainland as of March 31, 2026. Loans facilitated under the capital-light model, for which the Company does not bear principal risk, are excluded from the chart.

Shares Repurchase Update
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company deployed approximately US$39.4 million to repurchase its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. As of March 31, 2026, in combination with the Company's historical and existing share repurchase programs, the Company had cumulatively repurchased its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs with a total aggregate value of approximately US$516.7 million since 2018.
Business Outlook
Strong execution of the Company's 'Local Excellence, Global Outlook+' Strategy drove a resilient first quarter performance despite domestic macro headwinds and seasonal softness. The Company reiterates its full-year 2026 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion.
The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers' and institutional partners' demands, all of which are subject to change.

Chinese Fintech FinVolution: Buy, Sell, or Hold?PPDAI Group NYSE: FINV, referred to on the call as FinVolution Group, reported a steady first quarter of 2026 as management highlighted improving credit trends in China, continued overseas growth and a new reporting structure designed to give investors more visibility into its international operations.
Chief Executive Officer Tiezheng “Tim” Li said the company entered the year with “clarity, not certainty,” and that early results showed the impact of disciplined decisions made in 2025. Despite normal first-quarter seasonal softness, total transaction volume was RMB 42.6 billion, roughly in line with the prior quarter. Group net revenue reached RMB 3.2 billion, up 6% sequentially, while net profit was RMB 421 million, up 1% sequentially. Li said foreign exchange fluctuations affected bottom-line growth.
Get PPDAI Group alerts:
Management said overseas markets accounted for 30% of group revenue during the quarter and have become “a second profitable engine” for the business. For the first time, the company disclosed overseas operations as a separate reportable segment.
China Business Shows Early Risk Improvement Li described the first quarter in mainland China as a period of “patience,” with early signs of recovery but continued regulatory uncertainty. China transaction volume was RMB 38.5 billion, roughly flat sequentially, despite the Chinese New Year holiday period.
Chief Financial Officer Jiayuan “Alexis” Xu said China net revenue was RMB 2.2 billion, up 7% sequentially. The take rate rose from 3.0% to 3.2%, supported by better risk performance.
Management pointed to several indicators showing improved credit conditions in China:
Vintage delinquency eased from 3.0% to 2.7%. Day-one delinquency improved from 5.5% to 5.2%. The 30-day collection rate rose from 85.9% to 86.8%. The M2 default rate declined from 0.77% to 0.68%. Li said actions taken in the second half of 2025 were helping credit risk return to a healthier baseline. Xu added that the company selectively broadened credit appetite as asset quality improved, while maintaining stable funding partnerships with financial institutions.
FinVolution added about 0.6 million new borrowers in China during the quarter, up 7% sequentially. Management said this occurred even as sales and marketing spending in China was reduced, helped by improved targeting, higher conversion and lower customer acquisition costs.
Overseas Segment Gains Scale and Profitability The newly disclosed overseas segment includes Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia. Xu said the segment had reached a point where separate reporting better reflects its scale, profitability and growth trajectory.
Overseas revenue was RMB 949 million in the first quarter, up 35% year over year. Operating profit reached RMB 46 million, up 88% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA was RMB 47.5 million, up 87% year over year. Management said all three overseas markets contributed to profitability.
Overseas transaction volume was RMB 4.1 billion, broadly flat sequentially, with management noting that the first quarter is also seasonally slow in international markets. On a year-over-year basis, overseas loan volume rose 35%, loan balance increased 38% and unique borrowers more than doubled to 4.5 million.
In Indonesia, Xu said offline buy now, pay later remained the primary growth engine despite Ramadan, with both transaction volume and loan balance up 5% sequentially. Unique borrowers in Indonesia reached 3.2 million, nearly five times the level from a year earlier.
In the Philippines, management said it deliberately moderated origination ahead of a new interest rate regime taking effect in the second quarter. Xu said the company had previously navigated pricing transitions in Indonesia and China and was applying a similar approach in the Philippines.
In Australia, Li said the company is expanding customer acquisition channels, migrating the platform to proprietary risk infrastructure and deploying credit models tailored to Australian consumers. Xu said credit trends in Australia moved lower from the prior quarter’s seasonal peak, and transaction volume still grew sequentially despite first-quarter softness.
AI and Technology Remain Central to Operations Li said artificial intelligence is now “how we run the business,” rather than merely a supporting capability. The company has nearly 120 active AI-related initiatives across the business, with more than half embedded directly in frontline operations.
Management cited AI collection agents as one example. Li said they are the default touchpoint for pre-due reminders in some overseas businesses and are handling 50% of early-stage collections at recovery efficiency levels in line with historical benchmarks.
Xu also said large language models are being used in China to refine risk analysis, fraud detection and intelligent post-loan collections. In response to an analyst question, Xu said asset quality continued to improve into the second quarter, with day-one delinquency falling below 5% by the end of April, returning to levels seen in July and August of the prior year.
Buybacks, Dividend and Regulatory Outlook During the question-and-answer session, UBS analyst Xiaoxiong Ye asked about the company’s buyback plans and regulatory developments. Xu said the company repurchased about $14 million of shares in the fourth quarter of 2025, another $39 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an additional $15 million by the end of April, for about $54 million deployed this year. He said about $20 million remained under the current program, and the board had approved a new $150 million buyback program lasting two years.
Xu said capital allocation will balance business expansion, particularly overseas, with share repurchases when the stock trades at what management views as a dislocated price.
On regulation, Li addressed new rules related to online marketing of financial products. He said the regulation continues a trend toward consumer protection, licensed participation in financial products and clearer boundaries between technology and finance. Li said marketing rules are tightening, user traffic flows from third-party platforms may require workflow changes, and core financial decisions such as credit approval and risk assessment must remain with licensed financial institutions.
“This has always been our model,” Li said, adding that FinVolution provides technology and data tools while partners make final decisions. He said the company views the higher regulatory bar as a medium- to long-term positive, though near-term adjustments will be required.
The company reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of RMB 11.5 billion to RMB 12.9 billion. Xu said China remains a resilient foundation while overseas operations are scaling profitability alongside it.

FinVolution remains a Buy as I see multiple tailwinds despite recent underperformance versus the benchmark. FINV trades at a low single-digit forward P/E, with a $150 million share repurchase program supporting bottom-line growth. Management reiterated full-year guidance, signaling confidence despite temporary margin impacts from Chinese regulatory restrictions.
SHANGHAI, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FinVolution Group officially launched the 2026 FinVolution Global Data Science Competition in May 2026. This year's challenge focused on turn-taking modeling in conversations, with the aim of giving voice AI a sense of when to speak.
Voice interaction has reached the native-audio era, with AI now responding in real time. What it still lacks is something humans do by instinct: knowing when to take a turn, when to stay silent, and when a brief "mm-hm" is the right reply. Without it, even the fastest model talks over users or lets dialogue stall.
This year's participants will be given thirty seconds of dual-channel dialogue as context, predict the speech events likely to occur in the next 800 milliseconds, equipping AI with the social intuition to read user intent and respond at the right moment.
The dataset behind the challenge is built from real dual-channel telephone conversations recorded across 35 regions of China, spanning a wide range of dialects and speaking styles. Audio comes paired with ASR transcripts and word-level timestamps, allowing participants to build pure-audio or multimodal systems.
"For more than a decade, this competition has been our way of connecting academic research with real-world application," said Tiezheng Li, CEO of FinVolution Group. "Turn-taking is one of the open problems in voice interaction today. We hope what's built here reaches far beyond research, letting millions of users experience more natural, more human conversation in everyday life."
The 2026 challenge is supported by the China Computer Federation(CCF) Technical Committee on Natural Language Processing as academic advisor, in collaboration with Fudan University's Natural Language Processing Lab. It is also an official partner competition of the 15th CCF International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Chinese Computing(NLPCC 2026). Top-performing teams will earn a direct path to present at NLPCC 2026 alongside the global NLP research community.
Competition Timeline
The 2026 challenge offers a prize pool of RMB 308,000 (approximately USD 42,900) and will unfold in three stages:
Preliminary Round (May 13 – June 19): Participants train locally and submit their prediction results for real-time scoring by the end of June 16. The list of teams advancing to the semifinals will be announced on June 19.
Semifinals (June 20 – July 16): Semifinalists are required to submit Docker images for evaluation by the end of July 7. Finalists will be announced on July 16.
Final Round (July 16 – late July): Finalists will compete in person before a panel of judges, with the exact date to be announced separately.
Registration is now open through the official competition platform:https://ai.ppdai.com/mirror/show?channel=media2
Over its eleven editions, the FinVolution Global Data Science Competition has drawn close to 10,000 participants from universities, research labs, and technology companies around the world. Past challenges have spanned deepfake detection, credit scoring, fraud detection, user behavior modeling, and dialect recognition. Partnerships with top AI conferences such as IJCAI (2024), CIKM (2025), and now NLPCC (2026) reflect its rising stature in the global AI ecosystem.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: State Street Corporation (STT - Free Report) Incorporated in 1832 and headquartered in Boston, MA, State Street Corporation is a financial holding company. It provides a range of products and services for institutional investors worldwide through its subsidiaries.
STT is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 12.03; value investors should take notice.
For fiscal 2026, eight analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.66 to $12.31 per share. STT boasts an average earnings surprise of +7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, STT should be on investors' short list.
Investors interested in stocks from the Banks - Major Regional sector have probably already heard of State Street Corporation (STT) and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?
State Street Corporation is a global asset custodian and ETF provider, benefiting from robust market and economic expansion. STT reported Q1 2026 revenue up 15.6% YoY and adjusted EPS up 39.2%, both exceeding consensus estimates. With a forward P/E of 12 and projected 13.7% annual EPS growth through 2028, STT trades at a discount to its $156 fair value estimate.
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: State Street Corporation (STT - Free Report) Incorporated in 1832 and headquartered in Boston, MA, State Street Corporation is a financial holding company. It provides a range of products and services for institutional investors worldwide through its subsidiaries.
STT is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Finance stock. STT has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 7.2% over the past four weeks.
Eight analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.66 to $12.31 per share. STT boasts an average earnings surprise of +7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, STT should be on investors' short list.

Getting big returns from financial portfolios, whether through stocks, bonds, ETFs, other securities, or a combination of all, is an investor's dream. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
State Street Corporation (STT - Free Report) is headquartered in Boston, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 17.5% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $0.84 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 2.22%. In comparison, the Banks - Major Regional industry's yield is 2.83%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.45%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $3.36 is up 7.7% from last year. Over the last 5 years, State Street Corporation has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 9.16%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. State Street's current payout ratio is 30%, meaning it paid out 30% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Looking at this fiscal year, STT expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $12.35 per share, with earnings expected to increase 19.90% from the year ago period.
Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. It's important to keep in mind that not all companies provide a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, STT presents a compelling investment opportunity; it's not only an attractive dividend play, but the stock also boasts a strong Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As previously announced, State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) will hold the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. ET.

The Zacks Major Regional Banks’ asset quality is expected to remain subdued in the near term due to a challenging operating backdrop. While the Federal Reserve is likely to keep rates unchanged in the near term, industry players should continue benefiting from relatively lower rates. Combined with decent economic growth and improving loan demand, this is expected to support expansion in net interest income and margins.
Business restructuring and expansion efforts, along with ongoing digitization, should provide additional support. Major regional banks like State Street Corporation (STT - Free Report) and Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS - Free Report) are well-positioned to gain.
About the Industry The Zacks Major Regional Banks industry includes the nation’s largest banks in terms of assets, with most operating globally. The financial performance of these banks largely depends on the nation’s economic health. As banks are involved in numerous complex financial activities, they are required to comply with stringent regulations set by the Federal Reserve and other regulatory agencies. Apart from traditional banking services, which are the source of net interest income (NII), major regional banks provide a wide array of other financial services and products to retail, corporate and institutional clients, both domestic and global. These include credit and debit cards, mortgage banking, wealth management and investment banking, among others. A significant revenue source for these banks is fees and commissions earned from these services.
4 Themes to Influence the Regional Banks Industry's Prospects No Change in Interest Rates: After the Fed lowered interest rates by a cumulative 175 basis points across 2024 and 2025, driven by easing inflation and weakening labor-market conditions, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the resulting oil-price shock are expected to keep rates unchanged for much of the year. Yet, major regional banks will likely keep benefiting from lower rates (compared with historically higher rates in 2022 and 2023) as deposit and funding costs fall/stabilize and the lending backdrop gradually improves. As such, industry players’ NII and margins are expected to keep expanding.
Rise in Loan Demand: The central bank’s aggressive monetary tightening in 2021 and 2022 weighed on loan demand amid concerns over a potential economic downturn or recession. However, the trend has reversed since then. According to the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections released in December 2025, U.S. economic growth is expected to improve. This, coupled with declining borrowing costs and greater clarity on several macroeconomic factors, is likely to support loan demand. Major regional banks are expected to see a solid increase in demand for both wholesale and consumer loans.
Restructuring Initiatives: Major regional banks are taking steps to diversify into new business areas and reduce their reliance on spread income. Business restructuring remains essential for supporting technological advancement, expanding domestic and global operations and improving profitability. Industry players are investing in artificial intelligence and other digital platforms while also partnering with or acquiring providers of such services. Several major regional banks are aggressively expanding their footprints both within the United States and internationally. Many are also reassessing their business structures to streamline operations and exit less profitable businesses.
Asset Quality: Mounting worries about the economy and uncertainty around trade policies pursued by the Trump administration have added to inflationary pressure. Renewed Middle East tensions and oil-shock risks are further lifting costs, squeezing household and business budgets and, in turn, weakening borrowers’ repayment capacity. In response, major regional banks are expected to increase loan-loss reserves to cushion against potential defaults and payment delays. While disciplined underwriting and generally resilient borrowers have helped industry players keep asset quality under control, several key credit indicators have drifted above pre-pandemic levels.
Zacks Industry Rank Reflects Bright Prospects The Zacks Major Regional Banks industry is a nine-stock group within the broader Zacks Finance sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #51, which places it in the top 21% of more than 240 Zacks industries.
The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates outperformance in the near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outpace the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry’s positioning in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of an encouraging earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. The aggregate estimate revision trend reflects an improving situation. Over the past year, the industry’s earnings estimates for 2026 have been revised 7% upward, and those for 2027 are up 11.3%.
Before we present a couple of major regional bank stocks to bet on, let’s take a look at the industry’s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.
Industry's Stock Market Performance Is Solid The Zacks Major Regional Banks industry outperformed the S&P 500 composite and the sector over the past two years.
Stocks in this industry have collectively jumped 58.5% over the past two years. In the same time frame, the Zacks S&P 500 composite has surged 49%, and the Zacks Finance sector rallied 35%.
Two-Year Price Performance
Industry's Valuation is Attractive One might get a good sense of the industry’s relative valuation by looking at its price-to-tangible book ratio (P/TBV), which is commonly used for valuing banks because of large variations in their earnings from one quarter to the next.
The industry currently has a trailing 12-month P/TBV of 2.67X. This compares with the highest level of 3.21X, the lowest of 1.85X and the median of 2.39X over the past five years. The industry is trading at a huge discount compared with the market at large, as the trailing 12-month P/TBV for the S&P 500 composite is 12.15X, as the chart below shows.
Price-to-Tangible Book Ratio (TTM)
As finance stocks typically have a lower P/TBV ratio, comparing major regional banks with the S&P 500 may not make sense to many investors. However, comparing the group’s P/TBV ratio with that of the broader sector ensures that the group is trading at a solid discount. The Zacks Finance sector’s trailing 12-month P/TBV came in at 5.91X. This is above the Zacks Major Regional Banks industry’s ratio, as the chart below shows.
Price-to-Tangible Book Ratio (TTM)
2 Major Regional Banks to Bet On State Street: Headquartered in Boston, MA, State Street provides a range of products and services for institutional investors worldwide through its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2026, State Street reported assets under custody and administration (AUC/A) of $54.5 trillion and assets under management (AUM) of $5.62 trillion.
State Street is continuing with its efforts to strengthen fee income sources. While the company’s total fee revenues declined in 2022 and 2023, the metric saw a four-year (2021-2025) CAGR of 2.3%, mainly driven by higher client activity and significant market volatility. AUC/A and AUM recorded a CAGR of 5.3% and 8.2%, respectively, in the same time frame.
At the end of the first quarter, STT reported $2.7 trillion of AUC/A to be installed and $315 million of servicing fee revenues to be installed. This provides better forward visibility beyond near-term market swings, while continued Alpha mandate wins reinforce demand for integrated front-to-back solutions. State Street remains well-positioned for fundamental business activities, given its global exposure and a broad array of innovative products and services.
This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company has been using partnerships, minority stakes and strategic bolt-on acquisitions to expand growth platforms across investment, distribution and technology. Last year, the company expanded through partnerships, minority investments and acquisitions. Despite lower rates, State Street’s NII and net interest margin are expected to witness decent improvements in the near term. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
STT has a market cap of $43.7 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings indicates growth of 19.9% for 2026 and 11.8% for 2027. Over the past six months, the stock has gained 33.4%.
Price and Consensus: STT
Northern Trust: With total assets worth $174.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, Northern Trust is a leading provider of wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking solutions to corporations, institutions, families and individuals.
Organic growth is the company’s key strength. Its revenues witnessed a CAGR of 5.7% over the last five years (2020-2025), driven by rising non-interest income and NII. As the client base expands, the company expects to see a steady rise in loan activity, particularly as its wealth management services attract more clients. This ongoing focus on wealth management is expected to drive growth in the lending portfolio.
Following the launch of Family Office Solutions for ultra-high-net-worth clients, NTRS’ investment management division, Northern Trust Asset Management, partnered with Envestnet in January to expand access to its tax-managed direct indexing solutions, enhancing distribution reach for this client segment. These initiatives, along with continued asset servicing wins and low double-digit wealth management trust fee growth, are expected to support fee income and strengthen organic growth momentum.
NTRS is undertaking expense management efforts to tackle expense growth and support operating leverage. It focused on disciplined headcount management, vendor consolidation, rationalization of its real estate footprint and process automation. Through such efforts, it will likely improve productivity and meet the financial targets.
NTRS has a market cap of $31.1 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings indicates 18.5% and 10.6% growth in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The company, which sports a Zacks Rank of 1, witnessed a 28.6% rise in its stock price over the past six months.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $162.75, which is 43.7% above the GF Value™ of $113.24, indicating overvaluation.GF Score™: 80/100, which suggests strong overall performance relative to peers.Most notable signal: Insider activity reflects a net selling position, with insiders selling $7.7M compared to $0.3M in purchases over the last three months. Is STT Overvalued or Undervalued? The current market price of State Street Corp STT at $162.75 significantly exceeds the GF Value™ estimate of $113.24, marking the stock as 43.7% overvalued. This discrepancy suggests that the market may have overestimated the company's future growth potential or that the stock has entered speculative territory. Given that GF Valuation is labeled as "Significantly Overvalued," this presents a cautionary signal for potential investors. A margin of safety is essential to consider; buying at inflated prices can lead to reduced returns if the market corrects itself.
The risk associated with overvaluation lies in the potential for price corrections, which can occur due to various market factors, including changes in investor sentiment, economic conditions, or company-specific developments. As such, investors may need to evaluate their strategies carefully when considering entry points into STT shares.

Key Takeaways Freeport lowered 2026 copper sales guidance after delays at the Grasberg Block Cave mine.FCX's Q1 copper sales fell 25% year over year due to Grasberg disruptions.BHP and SCCO also reported weaker copper sales volumes in recent quarterly results. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX - Free Report) delivered first-quarter 2026 earnings and revenue above expectations, driven by higher copper and gold prices, though weaker sales volumes were a drag. Its copper sales volumes tumbled approximately 25% year over year in the first quarter to 657 million pounds, and fell from 709 million pounds in the prior quarter.
The downside primarily resulted from lower operating rates due to the temporary suspension of operations since the mud rush incident at the Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia in September 2025.
While the company’s outlook for copper sales volumes for the second quarter of 690 million pounds indicates a sequential improvement, it still suggests a 32% year-over-year decline. For full-year 2026, consolidated sales volume projections were revised lower to around 3.1 billion pounds of copper from the prior view of 3.4 billion pounds due to an expected delay in achieving full ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave mine.
Sales volume growth underpins Freeport’s ability to leverage higher copper and gold prices, maintain margin expansion and deliver on its targets. Despite gains in realized prices, lower expected volumes are likely to strain its financials.
Among FCX’s peers, Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO - Free Report) logged lower copper sales volumes in the first quarter. Southern Copper sold 231,770 tons of copper in the quarter, declining nearly 5% year over year. Southern Copper also saw lower molybdenum sales volumes, which fell roughly 3% year over year.
BHP Group Limited (BHP - Free Report) saw lower year-over-year copper sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended March 31, 2026). BHP Group’s copper sales for the quarter fell roughly 12% year over year to 468.7kt. BHP Group’s total copper sales for the nine-month period also declined around 7% from the prior-year period.

The GF Valuation label categorizes FCX as significantly overvalued, which raises concerns about the sustainability of its current price level. Such overvaluation could expose investors to potential risks should the market correct this disparity.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.

However, the Valuation rank of 5/10 indicates that the stock's current valuation is a concern, and the Financial Strength score of 6/10 suggests moderate stability. Overall, while FCX shows promise in growth and profitability, the valuation metrics warrant caution.
What Are Insiders Doing with FCX Stock? In the last three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX . This lack of insider activity may suggest that company executives are not making significant moves regarding their holdings, which could indicate a neutral outlook on the stock's future performance from those most knowledgeable about the company's operations.

With its market price significantly exceeding the estimated intrinsic value, potential investors may want to approach with caution, as the risks associated with overvaluation could lead to price corrections in the future.

Freeport-McMoRan is rated Buy, supported by resilient U.S. operations, a robust expansion pipeline, and discounted valuation at 7.6x EV/EBITDA FWD. Despite a 9% copper and 7% gold production cut at Grasberg, U.S. mines sustain results, with unit net cash costs at $1.91/lb and strong operating margins. FCX's growth pipeline—Bagdad, El Abra, Lone Star, and innovative leach—offers low execution risk and profitability even at conservative copper prices.
Freeport-McMoRan (FCX - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Shares of this mining company have returned +11.8% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +5.1% change. The Zacks Mining - Non Ferrous industry, to which Freeport-McMoRan belongs, has gained 4.3% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Freeport-McMoRan is expected to post earnings of $0.60 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.1%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.9%.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $2.56 points to a change of +44.6% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has remained unchanged.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.44 indicates a change of +34% from what Freeport-McMoRan is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +1.5%.
Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Freeport-McMoRan is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
For Freeport-McMoRan, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $6.37 billion indicates a year-over-year change of -16%. For the current and next fiscal years, $27.24 billion and $31.84 billion estimates indicate +5.1% and +16.9% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryFreeport-McMoRan reported revenues of $6.23 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +8.8%. EPS of $0.57 for the same period compares with $0.24 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.61 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +11.05%. The EPS surprise was +21.28%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Freeport-McMoRan is graded C on this front, indicating that it is trading at par with its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Freeport-McMoRan. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Freeport-McMoRan (FCX - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Freeport-McMoRan currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.42, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 24 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.42 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 24 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 18 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 75% and 8.3% of all recommendations.

The ABR suggests buying Freeport-McMoRan, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Is FCX a Good Investment?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Freeport-McMoRan, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $2.56.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Freeport-McMoRan. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Freeport-McMoRan.
On May 28, 2026, Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX shares rose 3.5% to $65.87, continuing a strong performance over the past year with a staggering 71.3% increase. The stock has fluctuated between $35.15 and $70.97 in the past 52 weeks.
GF Value™ verdict: The current price of $65.87 is 39.1% above the estimated fair value of $47.35, indicating that the stock is overvalued.GF Score™: FCX has a GF Score™ of 89/100, which is considered strong and suggests high potential for long-term returns.Most notable signal: The momentum rank is strong at 9/10, indicating positive price movements over recent periods. Is FCX Overvalued or Undervalued? According to GF Value™, Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX is significantly overvalued at the current price of $65.87 compared to its estimated fair value of $47.35. This represents a substantial 39.1% margin of overvaluation. Given that the GF Valuation label categorizes the stock as significantly overvalued, this poses a risk for potential investors, as the likelihood of a price correction exists if the fundamentals do not support the current valuation.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The overvaluation indicates that the stock may not provide a favorable risk-adjusted return at this price level, suggesting caution for those considering an investment.
How Does FCX's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 35.0x 28.0x Forward P/E 25.2x N/A FCX's current P/E (TTM) of 35.0x is markedly above its 5-year median P/E of 28.0x, representing a 25% premium. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict of being significantly overvalued, as the stock is trading above its historical valuation levels, indicating that current investor expectations may be overly optimistic compared to past performance.
What Does FCX's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 89 Financial Strength 6/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 9/10 Valuation 5/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 89/100 indicates a strong overall performance, particularly in the areas of growth (9/10) and momentum (9/10), suggesting that the company has been expanding effectively and maintaining positive price trends. However, the valuation score of 5/10 highlights a concern regarding its current market price relative to its intrinsic value, as indicated by the overvaluation signal. The financial strength rating of 6/10 suggests a moderate level of stability, which may also contribute to the cautious sentiment surrounding the stock.
What Are Insiders Doing with FCX Stock? In the last three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX . This lack of activity may suggest that insiders are not currently confident in the stock's price at its current levels, as insider buying often indicates a belief in future growth or undervaluation. Conversely, the absence of selling could imply that insiders are not looking to liquidate their positions, which may reflect a long-term commitment to the company's potential.
What This Means for Investors Based on the analysis, Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX is deemed overvalued at the current price of $65.87 compared to the GF Value™ of $47.35. Potential investors should be cautious, as the significant overvaluation presents risks if market conditions shift or if the company's performance does not meet elevated expectations.
