Workers at Yancoal Australia's (YAL.AX) Premier coal mine voted in favour of a strike, ​seeking higher pay and greater certainty ‌over entitlements and future earnings, the Mining and Energy Union (MEU) said on Wednesday.

The strike is also ​backed by members of the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union, with 93% voting in favour.

Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AutoZone. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.

Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, running from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), holds an admirable track record of superior performance, independently audited, with #1 stocks contributing an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has shifted 0.08% downward. Currently, AutoZone is carrying a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell).

In terms of valuation, AutoZone is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 17. This represents a discount compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 17.43.

Also, we should mention that AZO has a PEG ratio of 1.49. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Automotive - Retail and Wholesale - Parts industry held an average PEG ratio of 2.18.

The Automotive - Retail and Wholesale - Parts industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. Currently, this industry holds a Zacks Industry Rank of 71, positioning it in the top 29% of all 250+ industries.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many 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? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

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 ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum 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 want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.8% 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.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

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.

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.

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

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

The complaint alleges that the Defendants misled investors by representing that the Company maintained "disciplined bidding," "well-developed estimating processes," effective project controls, and reliable cost forecasting that enabled it to accurately price and execute fixed-price renewable energy projects, "manage risk," and reliably forecast revenues, margins, and earnings.

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

[CONTACT THE FIRM IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS]

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of August 5, 2025 and June 22, 2026, inclusive (“the Class Period”). The lawsuit alleges that Primoris made materially false and misleading statements regarding Primoris’ cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting, project execution, ability to manage project risk, financial performance, and financial guidance because the Company knew or recklessly disregarded that: (i) Primoris’ cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting, and project oversight processes were deficient and failed to provide reliable estimates of the costs and expected profitability of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects; (ii) as a result, Primoris systematically underestimated the costs and risks of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects that were experiencing material cost overruns, execution problems, and schedule delays; and (iii) accordingly, the Company’s statements regarding its estimating processes, project execution, ability to manage project risk, financial performance, and financial guidance lacked a reasonable basis and omitted material adverse facts.

On February 23, 2026, Primoris reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, disclosing increased costs on certain renewable energy projects, more challenging-than-anticipated conditions, and margin compression within its Energy segment, acknowledging that these issues adversely affected profitability despite higher revenue. On this news, Primoris’ stock price fell $13.72 per share, or over 8%, to close at $151.92 per share on February 24, 2026.

Then, on May 5, 2026, the Company reported first quarter 2026 results, disclosed additional adverse developments affecting its renewable energy business, including revenue and margin pressure, delayed project starts, and weaker-than-expected first-quarter 2026 results. The Company also reduced its full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance from $5.80-$6.00 to $4.80-$5.00 and lowered its Adjusted EBITDA guidance. On this news, Primoris’ stock price fell by $101.69, or over 50%, to close at $101.23 per share on May 6, 2026.

On June 8, 2026, Primoris announced that Anthony Vorderbruggen, the Company’s President of Renewables, was departing the Company, effective immediately. On this news, Primoris’ stock price declined approximately 15%, closing at $103.90 per share on June 9, 2026.

Finally, on June 22, 2026, Primoris announced that an internal review, supported by an independent third-party industry expert, had identified significant cost overruns, project delays, and execution challenges affecting six renewable energy projects. The Company also reduced its 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance to $2.05-$2.60 and lowered its Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Additionally, Primoris announced the resignation of Jeremy Kinch as Chief Operating Officer. On this news, Primoris’ stock price fell by $23.39 per share, or over 21%, to close at $84.95 on June 23, 2026.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Primoris Services Corporation (NYSE: PRIM) between August 5, 2025 and June 22, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 21, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Primoris common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Primoris class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/primoris-services-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 21, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Primoris' cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting, and project oversight processes were deficient and failed to provide reliable estimates of the costs and expected profitability of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects; (2) as a result, Primoris systematically underestimated the costs and risks of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects that were experiencing material cost overruns, execution problems, and schedule delays; and (3) accordingly, defendants' statements regarding Primoris' estimating processes, project execution, ability to manage project risk, financial performance, and financial guidance lacked a reasonable basis and omitted material adverse facts. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Primoris class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/primoris-services-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Casey's General Stores (CASY - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $7.37 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.6 per share. This compares to earnings of $5.77 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

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

Casey's, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Convenience Stores industry, posted revenues of $5.68 billion for the quarter ended July 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.43%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.57 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

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

Casey's shares have added about 36.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.

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

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

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

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Casey's was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $6.29 on $5.36 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $21.13 on $20.38 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Retail - Convenience Stores is currently in the top 42% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Darden Restaurants (DRI - Free Report) , another stock in the broader Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended August 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 24.

This owner of Olive Garden and other chain restaurants is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +4.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Darden Restaurants' revenues are expected to be $3.2 billion, up 5.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Casey's General Stores delivered solid Q1 results, but valuation remains only fair after a post-earnings decline. CASY's operational performance is healthy, with 24% revenue and 27% EPS growth, but store expansion and SSS are tracking toward the low/mid guidance range. Despite improved margins and compounding potential, the company trades at a premium multiple, offering limited upside at current levels.

However, stiff competition, industry regulations and changing marketplace conditions are major downsides.

Factors Favoring AMN StockFavorable Healthcare Staffing Demand: Demand for healthcare staffing remains supported by population growth, aging demographics, increasing care complexity and persistent labor shortages. Healthcare providers are increasingly using flexible workforce models and external staffing partners to manage labor variability and improve efficiency.

In second-quarter 2026, travel nurse volume increased 6% year over year, while allied volume rose 7%, the strongest growth rates in four years. Travel nurse orders turned positive in May and reached approximately 40% growth by early August, while allied orders grew in the mid-teens during June and July. Management expects more than 10% year-over-year growth in both businesses in the third quarter and forecasts Nurse and Allied Solutions revenue growth of 9-11%. Sustained demand could drive stronger staffing volumes and support AMN’s revenue recovery.

Expanding MSP Penetration: AMN Healthcare’s Managed Services Programs (MSPs) strengthen client relationships by helping providers manage supplemental labor across AMN and third-party suppliers. MSP arrangements accounted for approximately 46% of consolidated revenues in second-quarter 2026. In 2025, AMN managed $1.8 billion of spend through MSPs and $3.3 billion, including vendor-neutral programs. Broad-based demand across regions, provider sizes and service models further supports the platform’s workforce optimization capabilities. The scale of AMN’s MSP platform provides recurring access to large healthcare staffing demand and strengthens client retention while creating opportunities to capture additional market share.

Diversified Workforce Solutions: AMN has expanded beyond traditional staffing into technology-enabled total talent solutions spanning staffing, recruitment, MSP, Vendor Management Systems (VMS), language services, consulting and workforce optimization. Second-quarter growth included travel nurse, allied and international nurse staffing, while physician search increased new searches 40% year over year and executive search rose 30%.

AMN also expanded its WorkWise platform with supplier and rate intelligence, while Passport users surpassed 400,000. In June 2026, the company acquired Jaide Health to enhance AI-enabled language interpretation and ESSENTIAL Leadership Assessment to expand leadership evaluation, coaching and succession planning capabilities. This broad service portfolio creates multiple avenues for growth beyond traditional healthcare staffing.

Downsides of AMN StockStiff Competition: AMN Healthcare operates in a highly competitive staffing and workforce-solutions market, with pressure from national, regional and specialized providers. Locum tenens demand is increasingly shifting toward vendor-neutral channels, which management describes as highly competitive. Language services revenues also declined as pricing per minute fell 8%, while Technology and Workforce Solutions revenues dropped 15% year over year. Continued competition could limit pricing power, fill rates and revenue growth.

Changing Marketplace Conditions: Healthcare providers continue to adjust staffing models and focus on controlling labor costs. Contingent labor premiums have fallen to the mid- to high-single digits from the mid- to high-teens before COVID-19, indicating a normalization of pandemic-era economics. Although Nurse and Allied demand is recovering, third-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue guidance calls for only 1-3% year-over-year growth as declines in other segments offset staffing gains. These market shifts could slow AMN’s overall recovery.

Healthcare Industry Regulations: Regulatory and administrative changes can affect clinician availability, client demand and international staffing. AMN’s international nurse business benefited from forward movement in visa cutoff dates, but embassy appointment backlogs remain a constraint. Management indicated that resolving these delays will influence international growth in 2027. Changes in immigration policies or continued processing delays could therefore create staffing shortages, delay placements and increase operating uncertainty.

Estimate TrendAMN Healthcare has been witnessing a positive estimate revision trend for 2026. Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its earnings per share has improved 22.9% to $3.32.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2026 revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $648 million and 22 cents, respectively, suggesting 2.1% growth and a 43.6% decline from the year-ago reported numbers.

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 popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

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.

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 ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and 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 investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy 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 +23.8% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

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

That's where the Style Scores come in.

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.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

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: Strategic Education (STRA - Free Report) Strategic Education or SEI, is an education services company that provides campus-based and online post-secondary education, along with programs designed to build job-ready skills for high-demand markets. Its higher education institutions are Capella University and Strayer University in the United States and Torrens University in Australia. The company primarily serves working adult students.

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

Momentum investors should take note of this Consumer Discretionary stock. STRA has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 0.2% over the past four weeks.

For fiscal 2026, two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.03 to $7.23 per share. STRA boasts an average earnings surprise of +9%.

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

Shares of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (GTBIF - Free Report) have gained 10.1% over the past four weeks to close the last trading session at $7.68, but there could still be a solid upside left in the stock if short-term price targets of Wall Street analysts are any indication. Going by the price targets, the mean estimate of $15.61 indicates a potential upside of 103.3%.

The average comprises seven short-term price targets ranging from a low of $10.00 to a high of $18.38, with a standard deviation of $2.94. While the lowest estimate indicates an increase of 30.2% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 139.3% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.

While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.

But, for GTBIF, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.

Here's What You Should Know About Analysts' Price TargetsAccording to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.

While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?

They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.

However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.

That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.

Here's Why There Could be Plenty of Upside Left in GTBIFAnalysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 5.3%, as one estimate has moved higher compared to no negative revision.

Moreover, GTBIF currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much GTBIF could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.
