Key Takeaways Lockheed Martin reported a record $230 billion backlog after adding $65 billion of orders in Q2.LMT saw Missiles and Fire Control sales rise 19% as PAC-3, THAAD and Precision Strike ramps continued.Lockheed Martin raised 2026 sales guidance to $79.75B-$81.75B with growth expected across segments. Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to highlight a shift toward faster defense technology development, expanded production capacity and long-term demand visibility. Management emphasized that investments made ahead of orders are positioning the company for a higher growth trajectory.

The discussion focused on a record backlog, new multiyear defense agreements, manufacturing expansion and management’s confidence in raising 2026 guidance.

LMT Expands Backlog and Growth VisibilityLockheed Martin reported a record backlog of $230 billion after adding $65 billion of orders during the quarter. CFO Evan Scott said the company’s second-quarter book-to-bill ratio reached 3.2:1, providing visibility into future sales growth.

Management highlighted the $35 billion THAAD interceptor contract as a major step in converting framework agreements into production programs. The company also secured additional awards across missile defense, radar and space programs.

LMT delivered second-quarter EPS of $7.94, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.22. Quarterly revenues of $20.06 billion also surpassed the consensus mark of $19.43 billion. Free cash flow reached $2.9 billion. The company raised its full-year outlook, reflecting stronger expected execution across its portfolio.

Lockheed Martin Pushes Munitions CapacityLockheed Martin said accelerating munitions production remains a central priority as demand increases. Management discussed plans to expand capacity while improving efficiency through automation, partnerships and new manufacturing approaches.

Missiles and Fire Control led quarterly growth, with sales rising 19% year over year due to production ramp-up in PAC-3, THAAD and Precision Strike Missile programs. The segment posted a 14.5% operating margin.

The company expects multiyear agreements to support investment decisions by providing greater production visibility. Executives said these structures are designed to encourage cost reductions while supporting faster delivery schedules.

LMT Advances Defense Technology StrategyLMT CEO James Taiclet emphasized a move toward a defense technology model focused on anticipating customer needs rather than waiting for formal program requests. He described investments in systems developed ahead of contracted demand.

Management highlighted the Sanctum counter-drone system, which moved from concept to live-fire testing in 45 days by integrating existing Lockheed Martin technologies and partner capabilities.

The company also discussed artificial intelligence applications in manufacturing, including predictive maintenance, automated quality checks and improved production analytics.

Lockheed Martin Details Segment MomentumLockheed Martin expects growth across all four business segments in the second half of 2026. Management raised full-year sales guidance to $79.75-$81.75 billion and free cash flow guidance to $7-$7.2 billion.

Aeronautics growth is being supported by F-35 production and sustainment activity. The segment reported second-quarter sales of $8.1 billion, up 9% year over year.

Space sales increased 6% in the quarter, driven by strategic and missile defense programs. Management also cited Next-Generation Interceptor and Fleet Ballistic Missile programs as key contributors.

LMT Addresses Investor QuestionsLMT executives faced questions about whether recent investments ahead of contracts create additional risk. Taiclet said the company is pursuing disciplined investments supported by customer alignment and long-term agreements.

A Deutsche Bank analyst asked about scaling newer defense technologies. Management explained that the company is investing in manufacturing and design capabilities before orders arrive to improve speed and responsiveness.

A Morgan Stanley analyst asked about the opportunity from rapid-development systems such as counter-drone platforms. Management said these efforts are viewed as incremental opportunities beyond traditional program forecasts.

Lockheed Martin Focuses on ExecutionLockheed Martin closed the call by emphasizing operational execution, supply-chain expansion and partnerships as key priorities. Management pointed to domestic investments and international collaborations as tools to strengthen production capacity.

The company continues to balance growth investments with shareholder returns. During the quarter, Lockheed Martin returned $796 million to shareholders through dividends while funding production expansion and research initiatives.

Executives maintained that converting demand into sustained production growth will depend on execution, contract finalization and continued manufacturing improvements.

This year, the four AI hyperscalers plan to spend around $650 billion in total on their data center capital expenditures. That's a daunting figure, but it will likely be exceeded as hyperscaler spending projections creep up throughout the year. However, next year, this figure is on track to reach $1 trillion, according to Nvidia (NVDA +1.05%). That would be a major increase, but it's in line with the language that some hyperscalers have already been using.

During its Q1 2026 conference call, one hyperscaler, Alphabet, told investors to expect "significantly" higher capital expenditures in 2027. Informing investors that early in the year about the following year's guidance can only mean one thing: Prepare for a huge increase in spending. That jibes with Nvidia's $1 trillion projection.

If that pans out, the three that should be able to capitalize on increased spending more than any others are Nvidia, Broadcom (AVGO -1.67%), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM -1.81%).  I think they offer investors huge upside potential, and represent some of the best buys in the market today.

Nvidia Nvidia remains front and center in the AI infrastructure build-out, as its GPUs and the equipment to support them have become the industry standard for data center computing power. Nvidia's GPUs can handle a wide range of tasks, and their flexibility is paramount to their success. Its results continue to blow past expectations quarter after quarter, with last quarter's revenue growing by 85% and next quarter's revenue expected to nearly double year over year. Despite this incredible growth, the stock trades for just 22 times forward earnings, essentially pricing it like a market-average stock.

If hyperscaler spending hits $1 trillion next year, Nvidia will likely blow past analysts' expectations again. That makes Nvidia a no-brainer investment right now.

Broadcom Broadcom is one of the new kids on the block in the AI computing market, but it's making a huge splash. Instead of competing head-on with Nvidia in the GPU market, it's taking a different path. It's partnering directly with AI hyperscalers to design custom AI chips called application-specific integrated circuits that are purpose-built for the narrow range of workloads they are expected to see. These chips are far more cost-effective than GPUs for the tasks they are designed to handle, but they won't put Nvidia out of business because GPUs are still needed for many functions.

Broadcom's major clients have been placing huge custom AI chip orders, and the company expects to generate $100 billion or more in AI semiconductor revenue during 2027. For reference, Broadcom generated $75 billion in total revenue over the past 12 months. So that growth in one segment will amount to a huge expansion, and if the AI build-out continues to pick up pace, Broadcom will be another strong stock pick.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) is a different business than Broadcom or Nvidia, as those two chip designers are in a battle to gain and maintain market share within the data center market. TSMC is a chip manufacturer and has already cemented itself as the top option for chip production in nearly every industry. So, it doesn't really care if it's making a Broadcom chip or an Nvidia chip. All that matters to TSMC is that demand for high-end chips continues to rise.

Nvidia isn't the only one forecasting long-term growth. TSMC CEO C.C. Wei stated during its most recent conference call that he sees chip demand staying strong through at least 2029 to 2030, and asserted that the AI build-out has essentially created a new industry segment. That's great from a long-term perspective, and shows that TSMC will be a great stock pick not only for the rest of this year and into next, but for the remainder of this decade.

A high schooler flipping burgers, lifeguarding, or babysitting this summer is sitting on something most adults would trade a lot to get back: five decades of tax-free compounding runway. If your teen has a real paycheck, they qualify to open a Roth IRA, and the numbers that follow are the reason financial planners keep pushing this idea on parents who will listen.

The mechanics are straightforward. The IRS only requires earned income, meaning W-2 wages, self-employment, or gig work, not allowance, gifts, or investment income. There is no minimum age to open or contribute to a Roth IRA. Because your child is a minor, the account is typically a custodial Roth IRA opened and managed by a parent or guardian until the child reaches the age of majority, generally 18 or 21 depending on the state. Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW | SCHW Price Prediction), Fidelity, Vanguard, and Empower all offer them.

The 2026 Rules In One Paragraph For 2026, the Roth IRA contribution limit is $7,500 per year for anyone under 50, or 100% of the person’s earned income for the year, whichever is lower. In plain English: if your 16-year-old earned $3,000 at a coffee shop last summer, the max she can put in is $3,000. If she earned $9,000, the max is $7,500. And here is the piece most parents miss: anyone can fund the contribution. A parent or grandparent can hand over the cash while the teen keeps her paycheck, as long as the deposit does not exceed her actual earned income for the year.

Why Time Is Doing The Heavy Lifting A dollar contributed at age 15 has roughly 50 years to grow before a normal retirement age. That is the entire trick. Using a 7% average annual return assumption, which is a standard moderate estimate and not a guarantee, every contribution grows to its value at 65 by multiplying it by 1.07 raised to the number of years remaining. Actual market returns vary year to year and can be negative in any single year.

The aggressive case shows the upper bound. If a parent funds the full limit for five years, ages 15 through 19, that is $7,500 per year for five years, or $37,500 total out of pocket. Each contribution then sits untouched. At a 7% average annual return, that $37,500 grows to approximately $969,000 by age 65, essentially a million-dollar retirement account funded entirely during high school and the freshman year of college, with zero further contributions after age 19.

Most families cannot or will not max the limit. A teen earning steady part-time money contributes $3,000 per year for four years, ages 15 through 18, for $12,000 total. At a 7% average annual return compounding untouched to age 65, that grows to approximately $320,000. Even a single, one-time deposit compounds meaningfully: a single $7,500 contribution at age 15, never touched again, grows to roughly $221,000 by age 65 at 7%.

For scale, the S&P 500 tracker SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) has returned roughly 241% over the past ten years, while the 10-year Treasury currently yields about 4.7%. That gap is precisely why a long time horizon in equities is so powerful, and why parking teen money in a savings account is the expensive default.

The Assumption You Need To Take Seriously None of the figures above are promises. They rest on that 7% average annual return assumption, and any given decade can undershoot or overshoot. Present these as illustrations of how the account type and time horizon interact, not as guarantees. The math is directional.

Why The Roth Wrapper Matters More Than The Ticker A regular brokerage account would tax dividends and capital gains along the way and again at sale. A Roth IRA does neither. Contributions grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals in retirement, after age 59 1/2 and with the account open five or more years, are entirely tax-free, both the original contributions and all the investment growth. At a projected $969,000, that difference is not a footnote.

How To Actually Do This Opening the account takes about 15 minutes online at Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard. You will need the teen’s Social Security number, proof of earned income (a pay stub, W-2, or a simple log for self-employed babysitting or lawn work), and your own identification as custodian. Fund it before the tax-filing deadline for the year the income was earned. The most common mistake is waiting until the child is 25 to have this conversation, which quietly erases the most valuable decade of compounding. Consider talking with a financial advisor or tax professional about how this fits your family’s broader plan.

A strong stock as of late has been General Dynamics (GD - Free Report) . Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 10.8% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $387.69 in the previous session. General Dynamics has gained 13.4% since the start of the year compared to the 1.9% move for the Zacks Aerospace sector and the 0.4% return for the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on April 29, 2026, General Dynamics reported EPS of $4.1 versus consensus estimate of $3.68.

For the current fiscal year, General Dynamics is expected to post earnings of $16.66 per share on $55.16 in revenues. This represents a 7.76% change in EPS on a 4.97% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $18.32 per share on $57.63 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 9.98% and 4.46%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsThough General Dynamics has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for General Dynamics? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

General Dynamics has a Value Score of C. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 22.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 22.9X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 20.1X versus its peer group's average of 15.5X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 2.3. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, General Dynamics currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if General Dynamics meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though General Dynamics shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.

Key Takeaways ITW is set to report Q2 2026 results on July 28 before market open after four straight earnings beats.ITW's Food Equipment, Automotive OEM and Electronics units are expected to post revenue growth.ITW may face pressure from weak construction demand in Europe and foreign currency headwinds. Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on July 28, 2026, before market open.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has remained steady in the past 30 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate in each of the preceding four quarters. The average surprise was 2.8%.

The consensus estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $4.18 billion, suggesting growth of 3.2% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $2.80 per share, indicating an 8.5% increase from the year-ago quarter’s number.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Illinois Tool this earnings season.

Factors to Note Ahead of ITW’s ResultsGrowth in the institutional and food retail markets in North America, along with higher service revenues, is likely to have boosted the performance of Illinois Tool’s Food Equipment segment. Our model estimates the segment’s revenues to increase 2.5% year over year to $696.8 million.

Strong momentum in the filter medical business is likely to have driven its Specialty Products segment’s performance. We expect the Specialty Products segment’s revenues to grow 2.6% year over year to $466.6 million.

Solid momentum in the equipment and filler metals businesses due to higher demand for products in North America is expected to have aided the Welding segment’s performance in the second quarter. Our model estimates the segment’s revenues to increase 4.7% from the year-ago quarter to $501.5 million.

The Automotive OEM segment’s performance is expected to have benefited from growth in the electric vehicles end market. We expect the segment’s revenues to grow 2.1% year over year to $862.3 million in the second quarter.

Strength in the semiconductor and electronics end markets in North America and the Asia Pacific is expected to boost the Test & Measurement and Electronics segment’s results. We expect the segment’s revenues to increase 4.5% year over year to $716.9 million in the second quarter.

The Polymers & Fluids segment is anticipated to have performed well in the second quarter, driven by new product launches in the automotive aftermarket. We expect the segment’s revenues to increase 2.9% from the year-ago quarter to $450.8 million.

However, weakness in the commercial and residential construction end markets, owing to lower demand for products in Europe, is likely to have hurt the Construction Products segment’s revenues in the second quarter.

ITW has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.

Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ITW this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as elaborated below.

Earnings ESP: ITW has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the Most Accurate Estimate are pegged at $2.80 per share. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

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.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value 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 traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow 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 is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

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.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Autodesk (ADSK - Free Report) San Francisco, CA-based Autodesk develops model-based design, engineering and documentation software. The company serves customers in architecture, engineering and construction; product design and manufacturing; and digital media and entertainment industries.

ADSK is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. ADSK has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 20.6% for the current fiscal year.

10 analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.21 to $12.58 per share. ADSK also boasts an average earnings surprise of +7.1%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, ADSK should be on investors' short list.

Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) is facing near-term pressure on user growth expectations as Wedbush lowered its fiscal 2026 estimates ahead of the company’s second quarter results, citing ongoing friction from age-verification measures that the firm believes are weighing on access to the platform.

The analysts maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating and a $65 price target, above current levels of $48.

Wedbush lowered its fiscal 2026 daily active user (DAU) estimate to 129.3 million from 135 million, bookings expectations to $7.40 billion from $7.50 billion and adjusted EBITDA estimates to $1.51 billion from $1.54 billion. The revised bookings estimate sits in the lower half of Roblox’s previous guidance range of $7.33 billion to $7.60 billion, while adjusted EBITDA is near the lower end of the company’s outlook.

The analysts wrote that the estimate cuts were driven entirely by the DAU revision, which they believe points to second-quarter results below current consensus expectations. Wedbush added that the adjustment is primarily a near-term revision and kept its $65 price target based on a 22x enterprise value to EBITDA multiple on its revised fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA estimate of $1.95 billion.

Wedbush’s DAU forecast is based on Similarweb’s mobile proxy data, which the firm noted has historically tracked with Roblox’s reported DAUs. The analysts wrote that the proxy averaged 40.5 million users in the second quarter, down about 5% from the first quarter, which implied reported DAUs of around 113 million.

However, Wedbush noted that the model may overstate the decline because the proxy only captures mobile activity and may be disproportionately affected by the age-verification gate, which has had a greater impact on younger, more mobile-focused users. The analysts wrote that the 113 million estimate should be viewed as a floor rather than a base case, with their forecast modeling 119 million DAUs to account for users on console and PC platforms.

The analysts wrote that they expect the user friction from age verification to continue through the end of the year, with the largest reductions concentrated in Asia-Pacific and Rest-of-World regions where prior growth was stronger and comparisons are more difficult. Wedbush noted that these regions generate lower monetization levels, limiting the impact on bookings.

“An approximately 5 million DAU cut becomes only an approximately $100 million bookings cut,” the analysts wrote, adding that a shift toward higher-yielding users could help offset some of the decline in user numbers. Wedbush maintained its fiscal 2027 estimates and price target ahead of the company’s earnings report.

Looking ahead to Roblox’s second-quarter print, Wedbush highlighted several factors it will monitor, including app-store ratings and user engagement trends, monetization among users aged 18 and older, progress in advertising and homepage initiatives, regional trends following regulatory actions in markets including Vietnam and Turkey, and whether monetization continues to outpace user growth.

The analysts also pointed to potential risks, including a larger-than-expected decline in proxy data, tougher comparisons during August and September, and ongoing legal and regulatory issues related to child safety and metric-related allegations.

Roblox is scheduled to report its Q2 earnings on July 30.

Analysts on Wall Street project that Automatic Data Processing (ADP - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $2.59 per share in its forthcoming report, representing an increase of 14.6% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $5.43 billion, increasing 5.9% from the same quarter last year.

Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.

Ahead of a company's earnings disclosure, it is crucial to give due consideration to changes in earnings estimates. These revisions serve as a noteworthy factor in predicting potential investor reactions to the stock. Numerous empirical studies consistently demonstrate a strong relationship between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While investors usually depend on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to assess the business performance for the quarter, delving into analysts' forecasts for certain key metrics often provides a more comprehensive understanding.

In light of this perspective, let's dive into the average estimates of certain ADP metrics that are commonly tracked and forecasted by Wall Street analysts.

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Segment revenues- Employer Services' should arrive at $3.67 billion. The estimate points to a change of +5.9% from the year-ago quarter.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Revenues- Interest on funds held for clients' of $340.62 million. The estimate suggests a change of +10.7% year over year.

The consensus estimate for 'Revenues- PEO revenues' stands at $1.78 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +7% from the prior-year quarter.

It is projected by analysts that the 'Segment revenues- PEO Services' will reach $1.76 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +5.9% year over year.

The consensus among analysts is that 'Revenues- Revenues, other than interest on funds held for clients and PEO revenues' will reach $3.33 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +5.4%.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means 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 ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

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 is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% 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.

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.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

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.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Freeport-McMoRan (FCX - Free Report) Based in Phoenix, AZ, Freeport-McMoRan Inc., formerly Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., is engaged in mineral exploration and development; mining and milling of copper, gold, molybdenum and silver; as well as the smelting and refining of copper concentrates.

PT Freeport Indonesia’s principal asset is Papua, Indonesia-based Grasberg mine, which contains the world’s largest copper and gold reserves.

FCX is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

Momentum investors should take note of this Basic Materials stock. FCX has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 1.1% over the past four weeks.

Seven analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.17 to $2.72 per share. FCX boasts an average earnings surprise of +32.6%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, FCX should be on investors' short list.

Kroger Health dietitians share practical guidance for patients navigating weight-management treatment as part of Kroger's new GLP-1 Complete Support Program

, /PRNewswire/ -- GLP-1 medications are changing what is possible for many patients looking to manage their weight. To get the most out of this treatment, patients need more than a prescription.

"Patients need more than a prescription, they need ongoing support," said Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health. "Kroger Health GLP-1 Complete Support was created to help patients navigate affordability, nutrition and lifestyle changes with confidence."

Kroger Health dietitians work with patients at every stage of their GLP-1 journey, from understanding affordability options like the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program to building everyday habits that support lasting results. Here are five practical tips to help:

1. Lead with protein

GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, which means what patients eat matters more than how much they eat. Build meals around protein, such as seafood, lean meats, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beans or tofu, then add fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Protein helps patients stay fuller longer and supports muscle preservation during weight loss.

2. Make Every Bite Count

When appetite decreases, nutrient quality becomes more important. Kroger's OptUP® nutrition rating system makes it easy to identify more nutritious options throughout the store. This is a simple way to build a cart that supports nutrition goals without reading every label

3. Stay hydrated

Many patients unintentionally drink less while taking a GLP-1 medication. Staying hydrated supports energy, digestion and overall wellness. Water, low-sugar beverages and water-rich foods such as cucumbers and melons all help.

4. Plan before shopping

Having the right foods on hand makes healthy choices easier throughout the week. Simple staples – rotisserie chicken, Greek yogurt, pre-cut vegetables, frozen fruit and portion-controlled snacks – work well for smaller appetites and busy schedules.

5. Build a support team

Medication is only one part of a successful journey. Pharmacists, registered dietitians and care teams help patients manage side effects, optimize nutrition and develop habits that last. No patient has to navigate this experience alone.

Support at Every Step

Kroger Health's GLP-1 Complete Support connects patients with pharmacists, registered dietitians, clinical services through The Little Clinic and personalized nutrition guidance through OptUP®, all in one place. Kroger pharmacists can also help patients understand affordability issues, including the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program, and determine eligibility.

"GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools, but long-term success depends on the everyday choices patients make around food, hydration and lifestyle," said Laura Brown, MS, RDN, LDN, director of nutrition for Kroger Health. "Practical guidance and the right support system make a real difference."

To learn more, patients can speak with their local Kroger pharmacy team, schedule a consultation with a registered dietitian or visit Kroger Health online.

The upcoming report from Public Storage (PSA - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $4.25 per share, indicating a decline of 0.7% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $1.21 billion, representing an increase of 1% year over year.

The current level reflects a downward revision of 0.7% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.

Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections. These revisions serve as a critical gauge for predicting potential investor behaviors with respect to the stock. Empirical studies consistently reveal a strong link between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While investors usually depend on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to assess the business performance for the quarter, delving into analysts' forecasts for certain key metrics often provides a more comprehensive understanding.

In light of this perspective, let's dive into the average estimates of certain Public Storage metrics that are commonly tracked and forecasted by Wall Street analysts.

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Revenues- Self-storage facilities' should arrive at $1.14 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +1.8% from the prior-year quarter.

Analysts expect 'Revenues- Ancillary operations' to come in at $90.75 million. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +10.1%.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Square foot occupancy' at 92.4%. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 92.2% in the same quarter last year.

According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Depreciation and amortization' should come in at $293.81 million.

CrowdStrike Holdings NASDAQ: CRWD has entered into a strategic partnership with Cerebras Systems NASDAQ: CBRS. CrowdStrike will pair Cerebras’s industry-leading artificial intelligence (AI) inference speed with its proprietary Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR) platform for enterprises building and deploying AI at scale.

It’s already been a headline-making summer for CrowdStrike. In June, the company announced a four-for-one stock split. CRWD shares began trading at their split-adjusted price on July 2. The company has also announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Schwarz Digits. The two companies are launching a multi-year roadmap to bring the Falcon platform to European enterprises on Schwarz Digits’ sovereign cloud.

Get CrowdStrike alerts:

Both partnerships highlight the significance of the Frontier AI age and the key role cybersecurity will play in it. However, CRWD stock has dipped since the Cerebras announcement, suggesting the company has yet to convince investors that its growth justifies its valuation.

The Cerebras partnership highlights a significant concern for the C-suite, providing investors with another reason besides price to include CRWD in a growth portfolio.

AI Inference Speed Could Become CrowdStrike's Biggest EdgeThe AI revolution is driven by the speed of AI inference. Higher productivity and efficiency are the positive side effects of faster AI processing, but in cybersecurity, inference speed can also determine whether a threat is stopped before it spreads.

That's the gap this partnership is designed to close. Under the agreement, CrowdStrike will run its Falcon AIDR models on Cerebras's wafer-scale CS-3 chips instead of relying solely on traditional GPU-based inference.

In exchange, Cerebras is standardizing on the Falcon platform to secure its internal operations—a detail that matters for credibility and revenue, since it puts one of the industry's most demanding AI infrastructure builders in the position of vouching for CrowdStrike by using it internally.

How the CrowdStrike-Cerebras Partnership WorksHere's a simplified version of how that partnership could play out in practice. Imagine an AI-powered attacker compromises a single cloud workload and begins moving laterally across an enterprise's network, probing for credentials and sensitive data.

This is a process that, with AI tooling on the attacker's side, can now unfold in seconds rather than the hours or days it once took. Falcon AIDR is built to detect that kind of behavioral anomaly by running large models against real-time telemetry.

The bottleneck has always been AI inference speed: a security model that takes several seconds to score a threat is already behind the attack. By shifting that inference workload onto Cerebras's infrastructure, CrowdStrike is betting it can compress the time between "anomaly detected" and "response executed" enough to intervene before lateral movement turns into data exfiltration—catching the intrusion at step two instead of step five.

Neither company has published specific benchmark figures for the latency improvement this integration delivers, so the compression is directional rather than quantified for now. But the strategic logic is consistent with where CrowdStrike has been positioning AIDR all along: as the security layer built specifically for a world where both attacks and defenses are increasingly AI-driven.

Investors Want Proof Beyond the AI StoryInvestors will have to wait until Sept. 1 for CrowdStrike to report its second-quarter earnings for the fiscal year 2027. When it does, Cerebras won’t be significant to its numbers. However, CrowdStrike was delivering strong growth before this announcement, and management hasn’t been conservative with its forecasts.

That includes subscription growth margin growth of 82% to 85% and free cash flow margin growth of 34% to 38%. To be clear, CrowdStrike has been generating strong growth in both categories. But much like Palantir Technologies NASDAQ: PLTR, investors believe that a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of over 760x already prices in years of growth.

That's likely why the stock dipped rather than rallied on the Cerebras news, even as Cerebras shares themselves jumped double digits. Partnership announcements like this one add to CrowdStrike's competitive moat and its story, but they don't move the needle on the metrics that matter most to a stock already priced for perfection.

Investors have heard the AI-native security pitch before; what they're watching for now is whether it shows up in net new annual recurring revenue (ARR) and in the margin guidance itself, not just in press releases.

But investors are rotating into enterprise cybersecurity stocks. The threat from AI isn’t constrained by capital expenditure budgets or supply chain bottlenecks. More importantly, the threat is adapting in real time. CrowdStrike was already a leader in that space, and the Cerebras partnership is another step to cementing its leadership position.

3 Boring Infrastructure Stocks That Could Beat the Market in 2026Canadian National Railway NYSE: CNI raised its 2026 outlook after reporting second-quarter earnings growth, higher volumes and what management described as improved productivity across its network.

President and Chief Executive Officer Tracy Robinson said the company delivered 12% exchange-adjusted earnings-per-share growth on 5% volume growth during the quarter. CN now expects low-single-digit growth in revenue ton miles for 2026 and mid- to high-single-digit adjusted diluted EPS growth, compared with its prior assumption for roughly flat volumes.

Get CNI alerts:

3 Stocks To Watch For When Tariffs Subside “The engine's running well,” Robinson said, citing operating execution, commercial activity, cost discipline and capital management. She said the company expects year-over-year comparisons to become more difficult in the fourth quarter, particularly because it is lapping record grain performance from the prior year.

Second-quarter financial performance Chief Financial Officer Gilles Lelièvre said reported diluted EPS totaled C$2.06, up 10% from a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS was C$2.08, up 11%, or C$2.09 on an exchange-adjusted basis, representing 12% growth. The results included a C$17 million adjustment for advisory fees related to industry consolidation.

Trade War Bargain Stocks: Top 3 Picks Too Good to Pass UpRevenue rose 11% year over year as RTMs increased 5%, according to Chief Commercial Officer Janet Drysdale. CN reported an adjusted operating ratio of 62.2%, compared with 61.7% a year earlier. Lelièvre said higher fuel prices had a 210-basis-point unfavorable effect on the operating ratio.

Year-to-date free cash flow increased about 20%, or roughly C$300 million, driven by stronger earnings, disciplined capital spending and working-capital management, partly offset by higher tax payments. CN ended the quarter with leverage of 2.6 times and maintained its target of 2.7 times adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA for 2026.

On an exchange-adjusted basis, labor expense increased 3%, reflecting wage increases and about C$40 million more in incentive compensation, partly offset by a 5% reduction in average headcount. Fuel expense increased about C$250 million from the prior-year period because of higher prices, while purchased services and materials rose 11%, including advisory costs and higher trucking and vessel costs associated with volume growth.

Productivity and network operations Chief Operating Officer Pat Whitehead said CN moved 3% more gross ton miles while using existing assets and capacity more efficiently. Locomotive productivity improved about 6%, employee productivity improved about 9%, and train-and-engine employee productivity increased about 13%. Average train length rose approximately 1%.

CN also reported its best second-quarter and first-half fuel-efficiency performance in its history. Whitehead said the company improved efficiency through train handling, locomotive utilization and operating practices while maintaining transit-time performance.

The company’s Fast Track continuous-improvement program generated close to C$100 million in realized benefits so far this year, Whitehead said. The review of an initial group of major terminals has largely been completed, while work continues at intermodal terminals, network operations centers and other areas including purchased services and facilities.

Whitehead said car velocity and network train speed were largely flat year over year despite higher volumes, while metrics improved during the quarter after being affected by the end of winter conditions in April. In Western Canada, CN handled record grain volumes alongside higher refined petroleum products, potash and natural gas liquids, while car velocity, train speed and dwell each improved by roughly 3%.

CN is monitoring active wildfires in Northern Ontario and British Columbia. Whitehead said the company’s main line through Northern Ontario was open and management did not expect a significant effect on the business, though it had experienced some traffic bunching during a shutdown.

Commodity trends and second-half outlook Drysdale highlighted record second-quarter volumes for Western Canadian grain and potash, as well as strong U.S. grain movements. Petroleum and chemicals RTMs rose 11%, supported by increased long-haul refined-product shipments from Western to Eastern Canada, growth into the Greater Toronto Area fuel terminal and higher NGL exports through Prince Rupert.

Metals volumes increased 11% despite tariffs on steel and aluminum, as CN worked with customers on supply-chain changes, according to Drysdale. Domestic intermodal also grew, while overseas intermodal volumes rose sequentially but declined from a year earlier due to difficult comparisons with tariff-related volume pull-forwards in the prior year.

CN expects grain strength to be a principal driver of third-quarter RTM growth. Management expects continued momentum in refined products, new crude business and NGL exports. Domestic intermodal is expected to remain strong, while overseas intermodal is expected to weaken in the second half, partly due to the demarketing of certain low-profitability Port of Vancouver shipments. Automotive share gains and offshore imports into Canada are expected to offset generally flat production. Canadian coal volumes will depend on mine production and operating conditions, while U.S. export demand remains supportive. Union Pacific agreements expand market access Robinson also discussed two agreements announced with Union Pacific. A commercial agreement, which is effective once definitive documentation is completed and is not contingent on a merger, gives CN rights for Canada-to-Mexico traffic through Memphis and direct access to Ferromex. CN said the arrangement extends its length of haul from Chicago to Memphis and creates opportunities for northbound and southbound traffic across commodities, including automotive, intermodal, agriculture, energy and chemicals.

In return, Union Pacific will receive rights to additional capacity on CN’s EJ&E line for U.S. traffic. Robinson said CN will retain control over capacity and Union Pacific would fund any required expansion tied to its volumes.

A separate settlement agreement, contingent on Surface Transportation Board approval and closing of the proposed Union Pacific merger, would provide CN access to Kansas City and use of Union Pacific’s NEF yard. CN said it identified five “two-to-one” customers under the agreement, with additional “three-to-two” opportunities expected to evolve through the regulatory process.

CN agreed not to oppose the merger, saying the agreements had largely addressed its concerns while creating new growth opportunities. Robinson said the company would still participate if questions arise concerning its agreements with Union Pacific.

Key Takeaways Biogen's new launches may help offset weaker MS franchise sales in second-quarter results due July 29.BIIB may see growth from Skyclarys, Zurzuvae and Alzheimer's collaboration revenues in Q2.Biogen will record acquisition-related IPR&D charges as investors watch Apellis portfolio sales. We expect Biogen (BIIB - Free Report) to beat expectations when it reports second-quarter 2026 results on July 29, before market opens. In the last reported quarter, the company's earnings beat expectations by 21.02%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter sales and earnings is pegged at $2.47 billion and 79 cents per share, respectively.

Factors to Consider for BiogenIn the second quarter, lower sales of Biogen’s multiple sclerosis (“MS”) drugs, excluding Vumerity, are likely to have been offset by sequential revenue growth from new products.

Sales of Biogen’s MS drugs like Tecfidera and Tysabri are likely to have declined due to generic competition for Tecfidera globally, biosimilar competition for Tysabri in Europe and rising competitive pressure in the MS market.

Biogen saw an increased impact of Tecfidera generics in Europe in the last two quarters, with the trend expected to continue in the second quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter sales of Tecfidera is pegged at $103.0 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Tysabri is $375.0 million.

Sales of another MS drug, Vumerity, are expected to have risen due to strong demand in the United States. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Vumerity is $205.0 million.

Sales of Biogen’s spinal muscular atrophy drug, Spinraza, are likely to have declined due to lower demand in the U.S. market. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Spinraza is $379.0 million.

The performance of Biogen’s newly launched drug Skyclarys for Friedreich’s ataxia is likely to have continued to improve sequentially, backed by demand growth in outside U.S. markets. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Skyclarys sales is $155.0 million.

Sales of another new drug, Zurzuvae, are likely to have benefited from strong demand trends.

Biogen has a collaboration with Supernus Pharmaceuticals (SUPN - Free Report) for Zurzuvae. Biogen and Supernus Pharmaceuticals equally share profits and losses for the commercialization of Zurzuvae in the United States. In outside U.S. markets, Biogen records product sales (excluding Japan, Taiwan and South Korea) and pays royalties to Supernus.

Alzheimer’s collaboration revenues are expected to have risen in the quarter. Alzheimer’s collaboration revenues include Biogen’s 50% share of net product revenues and cost of sales (including royalties) from Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi (lecanemab), which has been developed in collaboration with Eisai.

Leqembi sales have been improving sequentially over the past few quarters, driven by demand growth globally. The positive trend is expected to have continued in the second quarter. Eisai records Leqembi sales.

In May, Biogen closed its acquisition of Apellis Pharmaceuticals, adding the commercialized medicines Empaveli and Syfovre for immune-mediated retinal disease and nephrology to its commercial portfolio. Investors will look for sales numbers of these newly added drugs. In June, Biogen announced a definitive agreement to acquire RayThera for $1 billion to strengthen its immunology pipeline.

In the second quarter, Biogen will record IPR&D charges related to the Apellis acquisition and the acquisition of exclusive rights to felzartamab in China from TJ Biopharma, which will hurt its EPS.

In the second quarter, Biogen expects core operating expenses to be roughly consistent with the first quarter.

BIIB’s Earnings Surprise HistoryThe company’s earnings beat estimates in each of the last four quarters. The company has a four-quarter earnings surprise of 26.87%, on average.

Biogen’s stock has risen 14.0% so far this year compared with an increase of 2.2% for the industry.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Other Stocks to ConsiderHere are two drug/biotech stocks that also have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings this time around:

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.22% and a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Regeneron stock has declined 15.3% so far this year. REGN beat estimates in each of the last four quarters. The company has a four-quarter earnings surprise of 26.33%, on average. Regeneron is scheduled to report second-quarter results on July 30.

Pfizer (PFE - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +2.07% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.

Shares of Pfizer have risen 3.8% so far this year. Pfizer beat earnings estimates in each of the last four reported quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 21.93%. Pfizer is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Aug. 4.

Fortinet Inc (NASDAQ:FTNT) is set to report its second quarter results on July 29, with Jefferies analysts highlighting that the company needs to show an acceleration in product revenue growth to support investor confidence in the durability of its recent performance.

The firm expects solid product trends in the quarter, driven by price increases and improving channel checks, but wrote that investors will be looking for evidence the momentum can extend beyond the near term.

Jefferies expects product revenue growth to strengthen from the first quarter as Fortinet benefits from a full quarter of higher pricing and what it described as improving demand trends. The firm's proprietary survey showed performance versus plan improved sequentially, while channel checks pointed to healthy firewall demand despite some inventory constraints and longer appliance lead times.

The firm wrote that while product strength could continue for another quarter or two, it needs greater confidence that growth can be sustained into 2027 and that services billings, particularly subscriptions, will remain strong before becoming more constructive on the stock.

Billings will also be closely watched. Jefferies expects Fortinet to exceed its second-quarter billings guidance, which calls for 20% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, but does not expect management to significantly raise its full-year billings outlook given tougher comparisons in the second half of the year and longer lead times for appliances.

Margins are another focus. Jefferies expects Fortinet's midpoint guidance for a 34% non-GAAP operating margin to be achievable, supported by recent price increases and lower-cost inventory. However, it wrote that investors are likely to monitor the impact of rising memory costs and longer procurement cycles on margins later this year.

Jefferies' latest survey showed Fortinet's average performance versus plan improved to 2.3% above plan in the second quarter from 0.5% below plan in the first quarter, outperforming the average across cybersecurity vendors covered in the survey. The firm also wrote that investors will be looking for further signs of momentum in Fortinet's secure access service edge (SASE) business as the company continues to expand its bundled offerings.

Shares of Fortinet are up about 90% so far this year, trading hands at $151 on Thursday.

The market expects Cameco (CCJ - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 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 July 31. 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 uranium producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -49%.

Revenues are expected to be $534.36 million, down 15.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 62.96% 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 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 Cameco?For Cameco, 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 #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Cameco will 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 Cameco would post earnings of $0.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.34, delivering a surprise of +17.24%.

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.

Cameco 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.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Alternative Energy - Other industry, TC Energy (TRP - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.59 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates no change from the year-ago quarter. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $2.74 billion, up 1.5% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for TC Energy has been revised 0.5% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.80%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that TC Energy will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.06% 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.
