The market expects V.F. (VFC - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis maker of brands such as Vans, North Face and Timberland is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -1.9%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.69 billion, down 3.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.92% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for V.F.?For V.F., the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +5.52%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that V.F. will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that V.F. would post a loss of$0.22 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.27, delivering a surprise of -22.73%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

V.F. appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

What was announcedMeritz Securities has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with The Optimism Foundation ("Optimism") to cooperate on the tokenized financial asset business.

The two sides will examine structures for the issuance, settlement and distribution of tokenized financial assets using OP Stack-based networks, including OP Mainnet. The subject of this cooperation is a business model that uses the public Layer 2 as the distribution and settlement infrastructure for tokenized financial assets.

“The significance of this agreement is that it examines the role a securities firm can play as tokenized financial assets are distributed and settled on a public Layer 2. We will review ways to cooperate with Optimism, putting investor protection and consistency with the regulatory framework first.”Meritz Securities representativeWhat Meritz is focused onWithin the scope of applicable laws and its securities business license, Meritz Securities will examine ways it could take part in the supply and distribution of tokenized financial products backed by domestic assets. Meritz Securities plans to review the detailed scope of cooperation under the agreement, taking into account the ongoing development of Korea's security token regulatory framework and current market conditions.

“We're excited about the ongoing growth of our work in Korea, and glad to welcome Meritz Securities to the OP Stack as they begin exploring tokenization. What makes it interesting is what happens when issuance and settlement sit on the same open network instead of in separate systems.

Institutional holders of FuelCell Energy are being notified that a securities class action alleges the Company did not disclose that its manufacturing capacity was inadequate to produce at the rate required under its Fit Energy purchase agreement, leaving per-unit product costs above contractual pricing.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies institutional investors in FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

FCEL shares declined 15.69%, or $2.68 per share, in a single session on September 2, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume. For a fund holding 500,000 shares, that one-day repricing corresponds to roughly $1.34 million of position value. Those wishing to serve as lead plaintiff must act by November 10, 2026.

Notice to Institutional Holders

The pleading asserts that FuelCell's public statements during the Class Period did not disclose that its manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under the capital equipment purchase agreement with Fit Energy USA LP. As averred, the resulting shortfall drove higher product costs and manufacturing overhead and made contract-related charges reasonably likely, conditions the complaint charges were a known trend affecting profitability.

ERISA and Fiduciary Considerations

Pension plans, endowments, and asset managers that accumulated FCEL positions during the Class Period may wish to document the effect of the alleged misstatements on their holdings. Fiduciaries frequently treat evaluation of securities litigation claims as part of ordinary plan asset administration rather than as discretionary litigation activity.

Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options

Funds that purchased FCEL between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 may hold claims regardless of whether the shares are still held. ERISA and public pension fiduciaries are generally expected to identify, document, and assess portfolio losses arising from alleged securities violations. Lead plaintiff appointment provides direct oversight of counsel selection, litigation strategy, and settlement decisions. Courts typically favor the movant with the largest documented financial interest that also satisfies adequacy and typicality requirements. Absent class members retain the ability to participate in any eventual recovery without seeking appointment. A loss assessment can be prepared from trade blotters or custodian records at no cost to the institution. "Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions, particularly where the alleged omissions concern production capacity and cost absorption that sophisticated holders price directly into their models. The allegations here concern information that a fiduciary would ordinarily consider material to a FuelCell position." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR REPRESENTATION — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP provides sophisticated counsel to institutional investors evaluating lead plaintiff opportunities. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars. Ranked among ISS Top 50 for seven consecutive years.

Frequently Asked Questions About the FCEL Lawsuit

Q: When did FuelCell Energy allegedly mislead investors? A: The Class Period runs from June 24, 2026 to September 1, 2026. The complaint alleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a significant stock decline.

Q: Who are the defendants named in the FCEL lawsuit? A: The complaint names FuelCell Energy, Inc. and individual defendants including senior executives, CEO Jason B. Few and CFO Michael S. Bishop.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: What do FCEL investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What if I already sold my FCEL shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

Toyota dealers are running out of cars while competitors sit on months of unsold inventory, and the reasons behind this gap reveal just how dramatically the auto industry's pecking order has shifted.

According to Cox Automotive, Toyota (NYSE: TM | TM Price Prediction) has only a 35-day supply of inventory, the lowest among all car brands… People can’t buy a RAV4 Hybrid today. “It is really unusual to see cars fly off the dealers’ lots like this,” Jessica Caldwell, head of product insight at Edmunds, told CNBC.

To get a sense of how hot Toyota cars are now, the average days of supply across the industry in the US is 82 days. Toyota’s luxury brand, Lexus, ranks second among scarce brands at 41 days. At the far end of the spectrum, Ram’s inventory supply is 152 days.

Toyota’s inventory levels vary by model. Among the models that have sold the most units through the first three quarters of the year, in the top 25 as measured by Car and Driver, the Toyota Corolla ranks 11th with 195,141 units sold. The Tacoma ranks 9th with 214,875. The RAV4 ranks 7th at 253,644. The Camry ranks 6th at 260,684. Most other best-selling vehicles are traditional full-size pickups, including the Chevy Silverado (413,383), Ford F-150 (556,738), and Ram (325,348).

Why does Toyota do so well? It has been at or near the top of the list for high-quality cars. In the Consumer Reports reliability rankings, it is often No. 1. In J.D. Power, it’s usually in the top tier.

And Toyotas are affordable. The average price of a new car in the US is nearly $50,000. The RAV4 starts at $32,000. The Corolla starts at $23,000. The Camry starts at $30,000. And the Tacoma starts at $33,000.

As embarrassing as it is for Ford (NYSE: F), the No. 2 US car company is no longer No. 2 in sales in the US. Toyota holds that distinction, just behind GM (NYSE: GM).

Injective has now burned more than 7.2 million INJ, permanently removing those tokens from circulation. The milestone comes through a mix of its monthly Community BuyBack program and an earlier burn auction.

How the Injective buyback machine works Participants commit INJ to a monthly Community BuyBack event. In return, they receive a portion of revenue generated across the Injective ecosystem. Once that revenue is distributed, the committed INJ is burned for good. Each round accepts commitments only within set limits, so participation is capped per event.

The revenue pool itself is funded by a percentage of income from decentralized applications and other activity on the network.

The numbers behind the burn The headline figure is over 7.2 million INJ burned to date. That cumulative total reflects both the current buyback system and a previous burn auction mechanism.

Across its first four rounds, the improved monthly program burned 178,338 INJ and distributed $776,344 in revenue shares to participants.

Average yield in the early rounds of the program reached approximately 23.9%. Historically, the buyback has offered average yields of approximately 20-25% per round.

The program has also added bonuses to encourage participation.

Background: from burn auctions to a monthly buyback Injective’s earlier burn auction served a similar purpose of reducing supply, and it contributed to the cumulative total. The shift to a monthly Community BuyBack turned burning into a recurring event with a revenue-sharing hook.

Issuance of new INJ has been curtailed, and governance changes have been aimed at supporting long-term value retention for holders. The community has continued to back tighter supply parameters.

Injective’s approach of routing nearly all protocol revenue back through the buyback system appears to have helped place it among the higher-revenue Layer-1 networks. Layer-1 refers to base blockchains like Ethereum or Solana, as opposed to networks built on top of them.

What this means for INJ holders and the broader market Every burned token is one that can never be sold, staked or traded again. The buyback model ties burn volume directly to ecosystem revenue, which depends on actual usage.

Participants are committing tokens that get burned, so the yield is essentially compensation for giving up those INJ permanently rather than a passive return on a held position.

Caps on commitments per round limit how much any single participant can deploy, keeping the program from being dominated by a handful of large holders.

Many networks direct revenue to treasuries, validators or development funds, while Injective routes nearly all protocol revenue to buybacks.

The key metrics to track each month are the size of each round’s revenue pool, the number of INJ burned per event, participant yields, and whether the bonuses succeed in sustaining participation.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.54%) index is trading at a Shiller Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings (CAPE) ratio of 41, the second-highest valuation in its history behind only the peak of the dot-com internet bubble in the year 2000. The index crashed by 49% when that bubble eventually burst, and while I'm not predicting a similar decline this time around, the risks to the current bull market are clearly mounting.

The Federal Reserve recently hiked interest rates to tame the rising inflation rate, which is generally bad news for stocks. Moreover, the artificial intelligence (AI) stocks that led the S&P 500 higher over the last few years have run into some turbulence, as investors question the sustainability of the data center spending boom.

It's entirely possible for those headwinds to spark a bear-market decline of 20% or more in the S&P 500. However, periods of heightened volatility tend to benefit one particular company: Interactive Brokers (IBKR +2.59%). Here's why its stock could be a great buy right now.

Image source: Getty Images.

One of the world's largest online brokerages
Interactive Brokers operates one of the world's most popular online investing platforms, where its clients buy and sell stocks, options contracts, futures contracts, and even cryptocurrencies. It had a record 5.58 million client accounts at the conclusion of the third quarter (ended Sept. 30), which was up by a whopping 35% from the year-ago period. That growth rate actually accelerated from 34% in the second quarter.

Client equity -- which represents the total value of all financial assets held in Interactive's custody -- also jumped by 27% to $964.7 billion. This number is important because Interactive earns volume-based commissions when clients buy and sell stocks or derivatives, so more equity means the platform has a bigger fee base.

In terms of transactions, Interactive processed 4.27 million daily average revenue trades (DARTS) during the third quarter, up 18%. But volume was a mixed bag; while clients were more active in the futures market compared to the year-ago period, they were less active in the stock and options markets. This is likely because the stock market traded in a relatively narrow range during the July to September period, with minimal volatility.

With that said, one metric suggests investors remained extremely bullish during the quarter. Interactive's outstanding margin loan balances ballooned by 36% to $105.2 billion, so clients still felt comfortable borrowing money to buy stocks and other financial assets. The company earns a significant amount of interest on those loans, so this revenue source might take a hit if a stock market downturn forces clients to deleverage.

Ideal conditions for faster revenue growth
Interactive generated $1.91 billion in revenue during the third quarter, a 15% increase from the year-ago period. There were two main components to that number:

$602 million in commission revenue, which grew by 12%.
$1.15 billion in net interest income, up 19%. This represented the interest Interactive earned on margin loans, client cash balances, and its own corporate cash balance.

If stock market volatility ramps up, I would expect commission revenue growth to accelerate as investors buy dips and hedge their potential downside risk using options and other derivatives. But net interest income might also grow at a faster pace in the near future as interest rates rise.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure of inflation increased at an annualized rate of 3.7% in September, well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. To make matters worse, it accelerated from 3.4% in August. The Fed already hiked interest rates once at its September meeting, but policymakers might feel compelled to execute further hikes to ensure inflation doesn't get out of control (like it did in 2022).

Therefore, although margin loan balances typically decline during bear markets, Interactive can still earn more net interest income overall if rates continue to rise. That will be especially true if cash balances climb as investors exit stocks and move to the sidelines for a while.

IBKR Interactive Brokers Group$85.06+$2.15 (+2.59%)

NASDAQ · As of 11:52 AM ET 10/21/26

Interactive stock looks attractive on a forward basis
Interactive generated earnings of $2.61 per share over the last four quarters, placing its stock at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 31.6. Therefore, it's currently more expensive than both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indexes, which trade at P/E ratios of 23.5 and 30.2, respectively.

But Wall Street's average estimate (provided by Yahoo! Finance) suggests Interactive could grow its earnings to $3.31 per share in 2027, placing its stock at a forward P/E of 24.9. That earnings estimate could even be revised higher if stock market volatility and higher interest rates persist over the next few quarters, so it's possible the stock is cheaper than it currently appears at face value.

As a result, I think Interactive stock might be a great buy right now.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHang Holdings Limited ("EHang" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EH), the world's leading Advanced Air Mobility ("AAM") technology platform company, today announced a sandbox cooperation with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia ("CAAM") to examine the safety, technical and regulatory considerations associated with EHang's proposed AAM within Malaysia's Low Altitude Economy. This cooperation marks another overseas regulatory sandbox initiative for EHang, following its efforts in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Hong Kong, China, further strengthening the Company's presence in Southeast Asia's low-altitude economy and underscoring the replicability of this regulatory sandbox approach. Drawing on its certification achievements and operational safety experience in China, EHang is working with civil aviation authorities in different markets to develop regulatory pathways tailored to local requirements.

Conor Yang (fourth from left), Chief Financial Officer of EHang, shakes hands with Dato' Captain Norazman Mahmud (third from right), CEO of CAAM. They are joined by Captain Mohd Nazri Bin Borhannuddin (third from left), Director of Flight Operations of CAAM; Captain Mohd Radzi Bin Mohamad Alias (second from right), Deputy CEO (Regulatory) of CAAM; and Ir. Collin Joshua Melling (far right), Director of Airworthiness of CAAM.)

The cooperation will provide a platform to examine the technical and operational considerations associated with electric vertical take-off and landing ("eVTOL") aircraft. Areas of engagement include airworthiness, operational safety, personnel competency and maintenance arrangements. EHang will support CAAM's assessment of its proposed activities in Malaysia. CAAM will undertake the cooperation in its capacity as Malaysia's civil aviation regulator.

CAAM and EHang recognise that the responsible development of AAM requires a phased approach, supported by technical evidence and robust safety assessment. The cooperation aims to strengthen understanding of emerging aviation technologies while keeping safety and the public interest central to their potential introduction and for the preparation of future AAM commercial operations in Malaysia.

At Transport Expo Asia ("TXA") 2026, held October 20–22 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, the EH216-S is being showcased to industry partners, regulators and the public. EHang Chief Financial Officer Conor Yang delivered a keynote speech titled "Future on The Move, Making Pilotless Air Mobility a Reality," sharing EHang's experience in advancing the EH216-S from certifications toward commercial operations and its vision for integrating pilotless eVTOLs into Malaysia's mobility ecosystem and low-altitude economy.

(Image: EHang CFO Conor Yang delivers a keynote speech at TXA 2026)

Later today, Conor Yang joined a high-level panel discussion, alongside representatives from CAAM, Futurise, the National Aerospace Industry Corporation Malaysia (NAICO Malaysia) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), to discuss the pathway toward operationalizing Malaysia's low-altitude economy, from policy frameworks and trial validation to commercial operations.

“Malaysia embraces the low-altitude economy as a national opportunity, and we are building the regulatory framework for it through an iterative, learn-by-doing approach, with safety as non-negotiable. We welcome collaboration with pioneering technology companies like EHang to develop the low-altitude economy," said Dato' Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi, Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia.

With its established aviation sector and extensive island and coastal tourism offerings, Malaysia has strong potential for low-altitude economy applications. The sandbox cooperation comes as the country steps up efforts to develop the sector. In August 2026, CAAM released a proposed Low Altitude Economy Framework for public consultation and has been working with Futurise on an Advanced Air Mobility Concept of Operations to guide the development of emerging aviation technologies, including eVTOLs.

The regulatory sandbox approach enables EHang to work directly with local aviation authorities to translate regulatory requirements into concrete validation steps and operational preparations tailored to each market. The expansion into Malaysia further extends this sandbox approach across international markets and supports the Company's broader global growth strategy. Building on its sandbox initiatives in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Hong Kong, China, EHang is translating its international expansion strategy into tangible progress, working market by market to address local regulatory requirements and advance its certified pilotless eVTOL aircraft toward future overseas commercial operations.

Meritage Homes (MTH - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis homebuilder is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.18 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -15.1%.

Revenues are expected to be $1.31 billion, down 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.41% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Meritage?For Meritage, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -5.12%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Meritage will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Meritage would post earnings of $1.3 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.42, delivering a surprise of +9.23%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Meritage doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2026) - The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP continues its investigation on behalf of Lennar Corporation ("Lennar" or the "Company") (NYSE: LEN) investors concerning the Company's and/or members of its senior management's possible violation of the federal securities laws and other unlawful business practices.

[CONTACT THE FIRM IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS]

What Happened?

On October 2, 2026, Hunterbrook Media LLC published a report entitled "Exclusive: Lennar's Big New Customer Is Its Own Spinoff, Millrose," revealing that Millrose, the spinoff company Lennar created in 2025 to hold its land, bought over $200 million of Lennar homes in about a month and has become the largest buyer of Lennar homes in the last month. The report asserts that "the purchases arrived just when Lennar needed them" and that "these sales were the difference between meeting and missing [its delivery forecast]," as Millrose purchased 356 homes in the last week of Lennar's third quarter 2026, and Lennar beat its delivery forecast by 340 homes. The report also states that Millrose has been purchasing Lennar homes for higher prices than individual and other institutional buyers and is renting those homes out at a loss. On this news, the price of Lennar shares declined by $5.37 per share, or approximately 6.73%, from $79.81 per share on October 2, 2026, to close at $74.44 on October 5, 2026.

What Should I Do?

At this stage, no lawsuit has been filed. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether claims may be brought under federal securities laws.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lennar securities, have information, or would like to learn more about this investigation, please contact Lauren Molinaro of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at [email protected], or fill out the contact form below, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters at no cost.

Key Takeaways Boston Scientific's Q3 2026 revenues are projected to rise 2.1% to $5.17 billion, while EPS may grow 1.3%.BSX's MedSurg may gain from Endoscopy, Neuromodulation and Nalu Medical amid ongoing Urology pressures.BSX's Cardiovascular unit may have benefited from imaging, embolization tech and vascular portfolio growth.
Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2026 results on Oct. 28, before the market opens.

The renowned medical device manufacturer posted earnings per share (EPS) of 86 cents in the last reported quarter, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.61%. The company topped earnings estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and broke even once, the average surprise being 2.95%.

BSX’s Q3 EstimatesFor the third quarter of 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Boston Scientific’s revenues is pegged at $5.17 billion, indicating an increase of 2.1% from the year-ago reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter EPS suggests a 1.3% rise to 76 cents. The estimate has dropped 5% in the past 30 days.

Let’s briefly review the company’s performance leading up to this announcement.

What May Have Influenced BSX’s Q3 Performance?MedSurgIn the third quarter of 2026, the segment may have contributed due to continued strength in Endoscopy and Neuromodulation. Endoscopy sales are likely to have gained from the biliary franchise, led by the AXIOS Stent and Delivery System, and the core gastrointestinal (GI) franchise. Boston Scientific also secured FDA clearance for RIVOS, a first-of-its-kind single device designed to consolidate multiple exchanges, allowing physicians to streamline procedural steps while performing endoscopic ultrasound biliary drainage. Initial cases had received positive feedback.

Neuromodulation is likely to have benefited from the strength of its comprehensive pain portfolio, led by the Intracept Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System. The acquired Nalu Medical may have provided another quarter of solid sales contribution, with integration efforts continuing. In the brain franchise, Boston Scientific’s global growth may have been favorably supported by the continued adoption of the Cartesia X leads and accelerating uptake of the Illumina 3D programming algorithm in the United States.

Meanwhile, similar to the previous quarter, Urology may have faced continued headwinds from weakness in the stone franchise due to volume-based procurement in China and commercial disruption in sacral neuromodulation.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate projects MedSurg revenues to increase 1.6% year over year in the third quarter.

CardiovascularIn the third quarter of 2026, Boston Scientific may have faced continued weakness in two historically strong Cardiovascular businesses. During the July earnings call, management lowered its full-year organic revenue and profitability outlook, citing a more challenging second half of 2026 than previously expected. WATCHMAN sales were hurt by an unexpected slowdown in the U.S. market, as compounding clinical evidence impacted referral patterns. In Electrophysiology (“EP”), the level of competitive share movement in the U.S. market was greater than anticipated.

The Cardiac Rhythm Management (“CRM”) business may remain a drag on the quarter’s results, reflecting continued competitive pressures and gaps within the product portfolio.  Weakness across its low-voltage and high-voltage businesses is likely to have persisted. On a positive note, strength across the company’s broad diagnostic portfolio may have helped offset some of the pressures.

Boston Scientific is also expected to have seen sustained momentum in its Interventional Cardiology business, driven by continued strength in DCB, imaging and complex PCI. Vascular Therapies results may benefit from broader adoption of Varithena and the drug-eluting portfolio. Following strong reception of the SEISMIQ IVL device for its clinical differentiation, the company is likely to have continued to ramp up its supply.

Interventional Oncology and Embolization is also expected to have delivered strong global growth, aided by demand for its broad range of technologies.

According to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, Cardiovascular revenues are expected to see a 0.7% decline from the prior-year period.

What Our Model Unveils for BSXPer our proven model, a stock with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), along with a positive Earnings ESP, has a higher chance of beating estimates, which is not the case here, as you can see.

Earnings ESP: Boston Scientific has an Earnings ESP of -3.63%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Top MedTech PicksHere are some medical stocks worth considering, as these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this time:

Phibro Animal Health (PAHC - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +2.10% and a Zacks Rank #1. The company is expected to release first-quarter fiscal 2027 results soon.

PAHC’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 18.4%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter EPS indicates an increase of 8.2% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.59% and a Zacks Rank #2. The company is slated to release third-quarter 2026 results on Nov. 2.

IDXX’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter EPS implies a jump of 9.1% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

Becton, Dickinson and Company (BDX - Free Report) , or BD, has an Earnings ESP of +3.28% and a Zacks Rank #2. The company will release its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Nov. 5.

BD’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 2.94%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter EPS calls for a rise of 2.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when Everest Group (EG - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis reinsurance company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $9.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +23.6%.

Revenues are expected to be $3.84 billion, down 11.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.62% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Everest Group?For Everest Group, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.01%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Everest Group will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Everest Group would post earnings of $14.59 per share when it actually produced earnings of $14.85, delivering a surprise of +1.78%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Everest Group appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Promise vs. Reality: The Chemours Performance Gap. Management cited "very stable volume" in May, but the lawsuit alleges an oversold Opteon aftermarket channel was already eroding 2026 demand.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP highlights the alleged Chemours promise-reality gap at the center of a securities fraud class action pending on behalf of investors who suffered losses after purchasing The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) securities between February 20, 2026 and August 4, 2026. Check if you might be eligible to recover your investment losses, or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

The promise, delivered by management in May, was "very stable volume" and a reaffirmed full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook of $800 million to $900 million. The reality came on August 4, 2026, when the Company reported a 4% volume decline and cut that outlook to $775 million to $825 million, and the next day shares fell $3.34, or 18.63%, to close at $14.59. LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: December 7, 2026.

The Promise

Opteon refrigerants were cast as the Company's growth engine throughout the first half of 2026. In February, the Company projected that double-digit year-over-year Opteon Refrigerant growth would continue into the second quarter. By the first-quarter call, management was claiming "a really, really strong position in the aftermarket" and reaffirming 3% to 5% full-year net sales growth.

Promise vs. Actual: By the Numbers

Volume: "Very stable," according to management in May. Company-wide second-quarter volumes fell 4%. Net sales: Full-year growth of 3% to 5% promised. Second-quarter net sales came in at $1.6 billion, down approximately 1% year over year. Opteon trajectory: Double-digit growth projected into the second quarter. The August results instead identified lower Opteon blends aftermarket sales as the primary driver of the volume decline. Aftermarket demand: Management saw "a lot of upside in the aftermarket as new equipment gets installed." The Company later compared aftermarket sales against "elevated demand" in the prior-year quarter tied to the initial channel fill. Full-year earnings: Adjusted EBITDA of $800 million to $900 million, reaffirmed in May. Cut to $775 million to $825 million in August, removing $75 million from the top of the range. What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Chemours Promise-Reality Gap

Plaintiffs contend that the gap shows these assurances were given while Opteon aftermarket demand was already declining because the Company had oversold product in 2025. The complaint alleges that customer prebuy and initial channel fill pulled sales out of 2026, leaving the original guidance without a reasonable basis. Investors who paid prices allegedly inflated by those statements absorbed the decline once the shortfall surfaced.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The complaint alleges Chemours described its volume as very stable roughly three months before reporting a 4% decline. Shareholders who relied on that assurance deserve answers about what was known when it was given." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the CC Lawsuit

Q: What specific misstatements does the CC lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges The Chemours Company made materially false or misleading statements during the Class Period regarding aftermarket demand for its Opteon refrigerants, the effect of 2025 overselling on 2026 demand, and the reliability of its 2026 financial guidance. When Chemours cut its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance and attributed lower Opteon aftermarket sales to an oversupplied channel, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: When did Chemours allegedly mislead investors? A: The Class Period runs from February 20, 2026 to August 4, 2026. The complaint alleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a significant stock decline.

Q: What court was the CC class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: What if I already sold my CC shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

Q: What if I live outside the United States? A: U.S. securities class actions generally cover purchases on U.S. exchanges regardless of the investor's country of residence.

The market expects Evercore (EVR - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis investment bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -25%.

Revenues are expected to be $916.49 million, down 12.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 10.82% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Evercore?For Evercore, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Evercore will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAmong the stocks in the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry, LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPLA - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $5.69 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +9.4%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $5.35 billion, up 18.9% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for LPL Financial has been revised 1.5% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, an equal Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that LPL Financial will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Credo Technology just delivered triple-digit revenue growth and a beat-and-raise quarter, yet the stock has cratered while two major Wall Street firms argue the selloff has created one of the most compelling gaps between price and target in the AI…

Credo Technology (NASDAQ:CRDO | CRDO Price Prediction) currently trades at $171.51, while Wall Street’s average price target sits at $279.09. That gap implies 62.7% upside.

Credo sells the high-speed wiring inside AI data centers: ZeroFlap active electrical cables, optical DSPs, retimers and OmniConnect memory interconnects. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $1.335B, up 205.7%, which explains why analysts crowded into the name.

More aggressive desks push even further. Stifel’s Tore Svanberg and J.P. Morgan’s Joseph Cardoso both hold $310.00 targets, roughly 80.7% above present levels. With even the consensus implying substantial upside, the market is pricing in risks the analysts discount.

A Beat-and-Raise Quarter Sparked a 20% One-Day Plunge
Credo’s slide began with its own earnings report. Shares fell roughly 20% in a single session in early September, even though fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of $479.0M rose 114.7% and beat the $470.38M consensus. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.20 exceeded the $1.17 estimate, and Q2 guidance of $525M to $535M pointed higher.

Investors fixated on quality. GAAP gross margin contracted to 64.5% from 68.2% on acquisition amortization after the DustPhotonics deal pushed goodwill from $92.8M to $986.4M. Share-based comp hit $87.98M, and the three largest customers made up about 74% of revenue.

The pressure has remained. Credo is down 23.39% over three months and 13.51% in the past week, including a 7.3% single-session drop when the S&P 500 slipped just 0.1%. Most of this damage is company-specific.

Twenty Analysts, Zero Sells and Rising Estimates
Wall Street has held firm. Of 20 analysts, 5 rate it Strong Buy, 14 Buy, 1 Hold and none Sell. Estimates are moving up too: over 30 days, 15 analysts raised fiscal 2027 EPS forecasts against 3 cuts, and 16 raised fiscal 2028 against 1.

The bull thesis rests on Credo’s lead in AECs connecting dense GPU racks, expanding optical DSP and SerDes revenue, and hyperscaler capex from giants like Microsoft and Amazon (NASDAQ:MSFT, NASDAQ:AMZN). Credo is one of the non-chipmaker suppliers riding that expansion, a group we profiled further in a free report on seven AI infrastructure names. Consensus calls for fiscal 2027 EPS of $6.3063, climbing to $9.6906 in fiscal 2028.

That math drives the targets. On fiscal 2028 estimates, the stock trades near 18x earnings, against a trailing multiple of 60. The next test is the fiscal Q2 report, where consensus expects revenue of $531.65M and EPS of $1.2829. Targets carry no guarantee, though. The same analysts were bullish when shares hit $308.67.

Credo Fell Harder Than Its Connectivity Rivals
Credo dropped more than its peers. One rival rose over three months while the other declined far less.

Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) gained 15.63% over three months despite a 10.53% weekly pullback. With the stock at $240.42 versus a $341.63 target, it implies 42.1% upside. Analysts split 8 Strong Buy, 32 Buy, 6 Hold, 0 Sell, though Marvell’s projected gain is smaller than Credo’s.

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) fell 13.33% over three months. With the stock at $334.37 versus a $527.59 target, it implies 57.8% upside, backed by 7 Strong Buy, 40 Buy and 3 Hold ratings. That is close to Credo’s upside.

Credo carries the group’s largest analyst-implied upside, but it also took the biggest drop, so analysts and the market disagree most sharply on this name.

Credo Still Beats the S&P 500 This Year Despite the Slide
At $171.51, Credo implies 62.7% upside to the $279.09 consensus from 20 analysts. Shares trade below the 50-day average of $206.02 and the 200-day average of $180.18.

Credo is up 19.2% year to date, and the S&P 500 has gained 12.82%. A beta of 3.249 explains why the moves run so large in both directions.

Credo’s Discount Looks Real if Margins Stabilize
Credo’s discount looks more credible if fiscal Q2 lands inside guidance, GAAP margins hold the 62.9% to 64.9% guided range, and the DustPhotonics optics push adds new hyperscaler wins. That path keeps fiscal 2028 estimates intact and makes the consensus target reachable.

The risk rises if hyperscaler capex slows down or a top customer shifts orders. With three accounts driving most revenue, one lost program could reset estimates quickly.

The data leans constructive. Rising estimates, a fast-shrinking forward multiple and no Sell ratings suggest the selloff priced in more risk than the fundamentals show. Still, the fiscal Q2 report needs to confirm the margin story first.

Attacker adoption of agentic AI is lagging the technology, but adversaries are already exploiting high-severity vulnerabilities in an average of just three days, leaving defenders a narrow window to reduce exposure  | Source: Rapid7

BOSTON, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in AI-powered managed cybersecurity operations, today released its Quarterly Threat Landscape Report, revealing that human operators remain the primary drivers of modern cyber threats despite widespread warnings about autonomous AI attacks.

The report shows AI is used as an operational component in just 8% of tracked incidents. While automation increasingly handles tactical execution, human actors still select most targets and dictate attack intent. Drawing from vulnerability research, frontline incident response, and underground monitoring, the newly announced Rapid7 Intelligence connects these insights to deliver a comprehensive view of adversary operations.

"Board decks often confuse the real explosion in AI-driven vulnerability discovery with actual exploitation, which hasn’t materialized. Only 8% of tracked reporting cites AI as an operational component,” said Christiaan Beek, Vice President of Rapid7 Intelligence. “But that’s a snapshot of adoption, not a ceiling. Agentic capabilities are advancing faster than any organization, attackers included, can rework its processes around them. The question is when, not if, agentic exploitation scales. Defenders need to move past reactive patching and start grounding their risk appetite in concrete days of exposure.”

Key findings include:

Vulnerability exploitation continues to accelerate: Attackers exploit high-severity vulnerabilities within an average of just three days, with 71% occurring in the first week—underscoring the urgent need to address critical exposures faster than traditional patching cycles allow.U.S. organizations accounted for the largest volume of ransomware listings. Rapid7 recorded 1,112 U.S. ransomware leak-site listings, roughly eight times Germany's total, with The Gentlemen (342), Qilin (339), and INC Ransom (99) leading group activity."Holy Grail" vulnerabilities drive attacks. 79% of exploited flaws required no authentication and no user interaction, giving adversaries direct, remote access into enterprise environments.Compromised access drove underground market activity. Of 63 monitored posts, 41 advertised Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or network access. Across espionage and cybercrime campaigns, threat groups change, but core tactics persist, including command and scripting interpreters, credential theft, and remote-access exploitation. These patterns underscore the need for behavioral detection and response, not static lists of known groups.

What this means for security operations

The findings from the third quarter of 2026 point to clear priorities for security teams: identify exposed assets, assess what attackers can exploit, and prioritize fixes by business impact. While the report findings show cyber threats remain human-driven, attackers are still leveraging AI to accelerate campaigns, making it critical for defenders to rapidly patch remotely exploitable vulnerabilities rather than wait for scheduled updates.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when TE Connectivity (TEL - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis electronics maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +26.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $5.26 billion, up 10.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for TE Connectivity?For TE Connectivity, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.16%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that TE Connectivity will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that TE Connectivity would post earnings of $2.85 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.94, delivering a surprise of +3.16%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

TE Connectivity appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Albany International (AIN - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis textile and composite maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.50 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +111.3%.

Revenues are expected to be $326.74 million, up 25% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 7.14% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAlbany International (AIN - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Textile - Products industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $1.5 for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +111.3%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $326.74 million, up 25% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Albany International has been revised 7.1% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, reflecting an equal Most Accurate Estimate.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Albany International will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Alert: Claims focus on alleged misrepresentations about Doximity's revenue growth and market share as the lawsuit contends that decelerating sales, contracting net income, and a shift in how pharmaceutical customers deployed advertising budgets were not disclosed to investors.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP reminds purchasers of Doximity, Inc. (NYSE: DOCS) securities of a pending securities class action brought on behalf of investors who acquired shares between August 8, 2024 and May 13, 2026. Find out if you might qualify for recovery. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

DOCS shares declined $8.29 per share (13%) on November 7, 2025, $5.59 per share (17%) on February 6, 2026, and a further $5.38 per share (23%), from a $23.39 close on May 13, 2026 to $18.01 on May 14, 2026. Investors have until November 16, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.

Subscription Mechanics Behind the Alleged Growth Shortfall

According to the complaint, Doximity generates nearly all of its revenue by selling marketing subscriptions to pharmaceutical companies and hospitals under a proprietary "cost-per-target" structure, in which customers purchase modules that reach a set number of platform members each month. The filing states that while the Company reported record engagement quarter after quarter, the subscription revenue those engagements were supposed to drive was allegedly decelerating.

The Alleged Shift in Customer Budget Deployment

On February 5, 2026, Doximity lowered its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance and reported that sales growth had decelerated while net income contracted. On that call, the Company attributed the slowdown to customer buying patterns, telling analysts it had "heard from multiple customers, they deployed a lower percentage of their budget upfront," a change characterized as "an anomaly for this year" and "not something that we expect to continue." As set forth in the complaint, the pattern did not reverse: on May 13, 2026, the Company reported that it missed its already-reduced guidance and projected a significantly slower pace of growth for fiscal 2027.

Alleged Operational Impact by the Numbers

Fiscal 2026 revenue guidance was lowered on February 5, 2026, then missed outright on May 13, 2026. Sales growth decelerated while net income contracted heading into the fiscal fourth quarter. Net revenue retention stalled, which the lawsuit ties to an increasingly competitive market for physician-directed advertising. Fiscal 2027 growth was projected at a materially slower pace than investors had been guided to expect. Cost-per-target module subscriptions allegedly did not convert reported engagement records into the revenue growth management had described. The proposed Class covers common stock purchases from August 8, 2024 through May 13, 2026. "The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information about how much of Doximity's revenue growth its advertising products were actually producing. When a company reports record engagement in the same period that subscription growth is allegedly slowing, shareholders are entitled to know which figure reflects the business." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

With a team of over 70 professionals, the firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. Investors who suffered losses have until November 16, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DOCS Lawsuit

Q: How much did DOCS stock drop?A: The complaint alleges a connection between three drops: shares fell approximately 13%, or $8.29 per share, on November 7, 2025; a further roughly 17% decline, $5.59 per share, on February 6, 2026; and a third drop of about 23%, or $5.38 per share, on May 14, 2026. Investors who purchased shares during the Class Period at artificially inflated prices and suffered losses may be eligible to seek compensation.

Q: What specific misstatements does the DOCS lawsuit allege?A: The complaint alleges Doximity made materially false or misleading statements regarding the impact of its Newsfeed product on revenue growth, its competitive position and market share, and its reliance on "light engagement" advertising methods such as banner ads and email newsletters during the Class Period. When the decelerating growth and reduced guidance were disclosed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: When did Doximity allegedly mislead investors?A: The Class Period runs from August 8, 2024 to May 13, 2026. The complaint alleges that multiple corrective disclosures events revealed information that caused significant stock declines.

Q: What documents do I need to submit my information?A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.

Q: What happens after I contact Levi & Korsinsky?A: An attorney will review your trading history at no cost and provide an initial assessment of your potential eligibility.

Q: What if I already sold my DOCS shares, can I still recover losses?A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony?A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

Q: What does it cost me to participate?A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

The privacy startup said its encryption coprocessor is now in production with dual-mode tokens and two launch apps, and that Consensys Diligence audited the system.

Fhenix's encryption coprocessor is now live on Ethereum and Arbitrum mainnet

Posted October 21, 2026 at 9:00 am ET.

On Ethereum, a wallet’s holdings are public by default: anyone with the address can see what it owns, what it trades and when. Fhenix, a startup building privacy tools for Ethereum, said Wednesday that smart contracts on Ethereum and Arbitrum mainnet can now work with balances, positions and trading strategies that remain encrypted onchain, while the contract still enforces its rules.

The company said its CoFHE coprocessor, built on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), is now in production on both networks. Until the launch, CoFHE ran only on public test networks.

Get Unchained’s crypto news in your inbox with the free Unchained Daily newsletter.

How It Works FHE is a form of cryptography that lets a computer do math on data without decrypting it first. According to Fhenix, CoFHE handles the heavy encrypted computation off-chain and passes the results back to contracts on the two chains. Developers add it with one Solidity import and encrypted data types that, the company said, behave like normal variables.

The launch also brings Fhenix’s dual-mode token design into production. Tokens issued under Fhenix’s dual-mode standard carry a confidential mode next to their public one, according to the company, and a holder can shift a balance into confidential mode in one transaction and switch it back when needed. Fhenix said those tokens never leave their home chain, are not wrapped or bridged, and keep working with existing wallets, exchanges and DeFi apps.

Fhenix said Consensys Diligence audited the system before launch. Unchained could not find a public copy of the audit report.

First Apps and What Comes Next Two design partners went live on day one, according to Fhenix: Fluton, which the company describes as a confidentiality engine built on encrypted intents, and AlphaEngine, where strategists compete for users’ liquidity with strategies that stay encrypted, so their methods remain private. A December 2025 post on Fhenix’s blog said AlphaEngine’s operators decrypt and match users’ swap intents in a step designed to run inside a trusted execution environment, a secure hardware enclave.

Fhenix said three more apps will launch on CoFHE in the fourth quarter, and that it plans to name two strategic partnerships with institutions in the coming weeks. Founder Guy Zyskind said in the announcement that the team is “working on a confidential stablecoin together with Tandem,” Offchain Labs’ venture arm that invested in Fhenix in 2025. Offchain Labs develops Arbitrum.

Fhenix is not the only team bringing FHE to stablecoins. In late May, a court order led Circle to freeze about $12.6 million held in a confidential USDC contract run by Zama, another FHE developer, locking funds of users unconnected to the case.

Steven Goldfeder, co-founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, said in Fhenix’s announcement that the launch is “the beginning of something big: a programmable economy with programmable privacy, fully composable for the end user.”

Gate Money puts fiat accounts, crypto, payments, yield and investing on one balance inside the Gate app, with a Visa card for spending and $8.68 billion in reported reserves.

Money has always lived in separate places. Cash sits in a bank, stocks in a brokerage, crypto on an exchange, and moving value between them means transfers, settlement delays and fees at every step.

Stablecoins are the first asset to blur those lines. As the best version of cash in crypto, they give dollars the speed and portability of onchain assets, and they have grown accordingly: supply stands at just under $300 billion as of October 2026, roughly 50% above where it started 2025, the year the GENIUS Act was passed.

Gate Money is Gate’s attempt to bring the rest of the picture together. Announced at TOKEN2049 on October 7, the Gate Money section, inside the main Gate app, now puts fiat accounts, crypto, payments, yield and investing on one balance. A day later, Gate announced a partnership with Visa for a crypto-linked card.

This primer covers what Gate Money does, along with Gate’s Visa partnership, and what we'd watch as it rolls out.

Why Now: Stablecoins Are Becoming Everyday Money Supply growth has stalled for most of 2026, but usage has not. Onchain stablecoin transfer volume reached $92.7 trillion over the 12 months to September 2026, up ~82% from the prior 12 months. Year-to-date (YTD), 2026 has seen ~$74 trillion in onchain stablecoin transfer volume, already above the $60.6 trillion recorded for all of 2025.

It is worth noting that raw transfer volume can overinflate true “usage” as the metric includes bot activity, contract-to-contract hops and internal transfers. Adjusting for those, a16z’s 2025 report strips those out and has adjusted stablecoin volume at ~$9 trillion over its trailing year.

Policy and payment rails are following the usage, with the GENIUS Act giving US issuers a clear regulatory perimeter, Stripe’s acquisition of stablecoin infrastructure startup Bridge, and over 160 stablecoin-linked Visa card programs now live globally, per Visa.

For many users, holding crypto or stablecoins is only half the job. Spending or cashing out those assets still typically runs through a bank, which means leaving the exchange’s ecosystem.

Trading activity tends to fluctuate with market volatility, while products tied to payments, balances and financial services can create more recurring user activity. As crypto increasingly moves beyond trading, the value of having one account for holding, spending, investing and earning becomes more important. This is the gap Gate Money is built to close.

Gate Money Functionally, Gate Money organizes six jobs around one balance.

Hold - Users can hold multiple fiat currencies and crypto in one consolidated account system, as it supports fiat deposits and withdrawals alongside onchain deposits and transfers. Receive - Eligible users can set up a bank account inside the same app and use the account details to receive and withdraw funds. Pay - Online and in-store purchases can use fiat or crypto, with Apple Pay and Google Pay support, alongside ATM withdrawals and local QR payments in some countries. Convert - In-app swaps between assets. Earn - Eligible USDT balances can earn up to 3.6% with no lock-up, subject to Gate's product terms. Invest - Access to crypto and traditional assets including stocks. Many of these features, including Gate Card, Gate Pay and stock trading, existed before Gate Money.

What the new Gate Money adds is integration, where a user's balance can be received, held, earned on, invested and spent in one account, turning Gate from somewhere users come to trade into an everyday financial platform.

The Visa Partnership In early October, Gate and Visa announced a partnership for a crypto-linked Visa card that can be applied for and managed inside the Gate app. With this, eligible users will be able to pay at any Visa-accepting merchant, and the crypto in their Gate account is converted to fiat automatically at checkout to cover the purchase.

Visa’s main contribution is its global network, as the payments feature is the job that decides whether an account gets used every day or only when someone trades.

Moreover, Visa is itself one of the stablecoin rails described above, so the card sits on infrastructure with the same vision in mind.

Gate’s CEO described the partnership as a step toward crypto becoming part of everyday financial life, while Visa's Asia Pacific head of digital currency pointed to consumer demand for flexible, convenient and widely accepted payment options.

Why The Build Matters Some platforms launching consumer money products opt for a separate app with its own brand. In contrast, Gate Money lives inside the main Gate app.

While the former may present a cleaner approach from a consumer identity perspective, it has to build its user base from scratch. On the other hand, an embedded product starts with the full user base that can switch Gate Money on without having to download anything, while balances also stay within Gate.

There is also a clear connection to the topic discussed in Primer 1, where Gate CrossEx gives professional desks one pool of margin that works across multiple venues so capital stops sitting idle in silos. Gate Money applies the same idea at the other end of the user spectrum.

Between the two, Gate is building account infrastructure for institutions and for everyday users, which is the groundwork for the forthcoming Gate iWeb3 report.

Reserves and Asset Security An account that holds users’ cash, crypto and investments, and pays out from them every day, only works if users trust the assets are there. Gate says it was the first exchange to launch 100% proof of reserves. Their latest report, published on 21st October, puts total reserves at $8.68 billion with an overall reserve ratio of 118%.

Licensing as the Moat For crypto exchanges, trading features can be easily shipped by a product team. But bank accounts and cards cannot as they require licenses and banking partners on a jurisdictional level, which is why Gate Money’s availability is region-dependent and its licensing stack would take a considerable amount of time to replicate.

The pairing that stands out is the MiCA and PSD2 licenses, both held in Malta, as they cover both the crypto side and the payment-account side of what Gate Money does in Europe.

The licenses determine where each feature can go live, while the partnerships, such as the one with Visa, determine how fast.

Conclusion Gate Money changes what a Gate account is for. Before, it was a place users came to trade. Now, it is built to be where they hold, receive, spend, invest and earn, across both crypto and fiat.

As digital assets and payment rails mature, the contest moves up a layer, to the account where people hold and spend their money. Gate Money is Gate's answer, built on an exchange account with 61M+ users, wired into Visa for spending and backed by licenses across several key jurisdictions.

The question for the foreseeable future is how quickly Gate Money’s bank account and card footprint expands, and whether Gate's users start treating it as their de facto money platform.

Latest 2300 V, 8 mΩ full-bridge SiCPAK™ G power module leverages proprietary GeneSiC™ Trench-Assisted Planar™ technology to deliver the industry's leading RDSON, enabling higher and power density for solid-state transformers, grid-scale battery energy storage systems, solar inverters, and megawatt charging infrastructure

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a leader in next-generation power semiconductors and power delivery solutions, pioneering GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and IVR technologies, today announced an ultra-high-voltage (UHV) SiC power module family for advanced energy and grid infrastructure.

The new G4H08MT23GB4 2300 V full-bridge module family uses the industry-standard SiCPAK™ form factor and has a class-leading RDSON (8 mΩ).

It has been developed to enhance efficiency and power density in solid-state transformers, grid-scale battery energy storage systems, solar inverters, and EV megawatt charging infrastructure. These gains are enabled through its deployment of Navitas' fourth-generation GeneSiC™ Trench-Assisted Planar™ (TAP) architecture, with the launch extending Navitas' 2300 V and 3300 V ultra-high voltage SiC portfolio.

As grid-tied power architectures increasingly underpin next-generation AI data centers, Navitas' UHV SiC modules provide the medium-voltage building block for solid-state transformers that convert grid power directly into the high-voltage DC rails used inside AI data center racks. This places the new module family at the center of Navitas' AI infrastructure portfolio. spanning AI data center and energy and grid infrastructure alongside battery energy storage, solar, EV megawatt charging, hydrogen fuel cell electrolysis and DC-DC conversion, and industrial motor-drive and high-voltage power supply applications.

Advanced Construction for High-Reliability, High-Power Operation

The modules also integrate several construction enhancements that better meet the needs of demanding, high-power applications. For example, its aluminum nitride (AlN) active-metal-braze (AMB) substrate enables superior heat spreading and supports an isolation capability of over 5 kV. Its epoxy-resin potting technology reduces internal stress distribution, limits moisture and contaminant ingress, and delivers 10x improvements in thermal conductivity versus silicone gel.

Additionally, the module’s high-current, press-fit pins have twice the current-carrying capability per pin versus standard press-fit connections. An optional pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM), which simplifies and standardizes heatsink assembly, is also available.

Extended Reliability Testing Validates Long-Term System Lifetime

The new module family will be qualified to Navitas' AEC-Plus* reliability benchmark, which tests beyond AEC-Q101 and JEDEC standard requirements. The benchmark reflects Navitas' focus on system-level lifetime requirements for the demanding mission profiles found in energy and grid infrastructure applications.

The AEC-Plus qualification includes dynamic reverse bias (DRB) and dynamic gate switching (DGS) testing to represent stringent fast-switching application mission profiles; it also more than triples the duration of static high-temperature, high-voltage tests (HTRB, HTGB, HTGB-R). Additionally, it implements an extended power-cycling and temperature-cycling testing and delivers HV-H3TRB (HV-THB) qualification for power modules, discrete and known-good-die (KGD) devices.

“Our fourth-generation GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar architecture continues to push the limits of what's possible in ultra-high voltage SiC,” said Paul Wheeler, VP & GM of Navitas' SiC Business Unit. “This new 2300 V module delivers a leading RDS(ON) of any device using the SiCPAK form factor, giving system designers a proven, reliability-tested building block for the solid-state transformers and energy storage systems that are reshaping grid and AI data center infrastructure.”

Samples of the G4H08MT23GB4(HC) family are available immediately, with options for pre-applied TIM and high-current variants:
