CAVA v posledním čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby meziročně o 31,3 % na 368,44 mil. USD a zisk na akcii na 0,19 USD; oba ukazatele překonaly konsenzuální odhady.
Cava Group (CAVA - Free Report) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Over the past month, shares of this Mediterranean restaurant chain have returned +2.2%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1.2% change. During this period, the Zacks Retail - Restaurants industry, which Cava falls in, has gained 3.6%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Cava is expected to post earnings of $0.12 per share for the current quarter, representing no change from the year-ago quarter. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +3.3%.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $0.55 points to a change of +1.9% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +0.3%.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $0.74 indicates a change of +34.2% from what Cava is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -2.5%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Cava.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
For Cava, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $357.44 million indicates a year-over-year change of +22.3%. For the current and next fiscal years, $1.51 billion and $1.79 billion estimates indicate +27.7% and +18.9% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryCava reported revenues of $368.44 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +31.3%. EPS of $0.19 for the same period compares with $0.16 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $353.31 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +4.28%. The EPS surprise was +5.56%.
Over the last four quarters, Cava surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.
ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Cava is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Cava. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Akcie Strive tento týden vzrostly o 20,5 % poté, co firma prostřednictvím emise prioritních akcií získala 630 milionů USD na všeobecné firemní účely a další nákupy Bitcoinu.
Shares of Strive (ASST +1.83%) soared 20.5% this week, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The stock's jump came as the company completed a $630 million preferred stock offering to fund its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.
Strive stock closed at $29.03 on Thursday, Oct. 22, up 20.5% from Friday, Oct. 16's close. Across those sessions, the S&P 500 was roughly flat at 0%.
ASST Strive$29.56+$0.53 (+1.83%)
NASDAQ · As of 12:04 PM ET 10/23/26
Funding an expansion in Bitcoin holdingsStrive closed an initial public offering of 7 million shares of its 15% Series A Perpetual SATS Preferred Stock at $90 per share on Tuesday, generating $630 million in gross proceeds. The proceeds will fund general corporate purposes and additional Bitcoin purchases.
In a filing with regulators, the company disclosed it bought 4,045 Bitcoins between Oct. 12 and Oct. 16 at an average price of $82,803 per coin, raising its total treasury holdings to 36,818 Bitcoins worth roughly $3 billion.
Strive is an asset manager operating as a Bitcoin treasury company, raising capital through stock offerings to buy and hold Bitcoin as its core reserve asset. Beyond its investment management subsidiary, the firm issues specialized preferred equity to retail and institutional investors, using the proceeds to continuously buy more Bitcoin.
By selling perpetual preferred stock with fixed dividend yields, management aims to amplify per-share Bitcoin exposure for common equity holders without diluting ownership through direct sales of common stock alone.
However, funding asset purchases with fixed-yield preferred obligations adds leverage to the capital structure, leaving common shareholders exposed if coin prices drop. This week's upsized preferred offering resolves near-term funding questions by providing more cash to accelerate Strive's Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
What's next for StriveInvestors should watch the company's upcoming earnings report in November, as well as the start of daily SATS dividends on Nov. 9. Because the firm relies on issuing high-yield preferred equity to purchase non-yielding digital assets, permanent capital loss remains a key risk for common shareholders if Bitcoin experiences a deep downturn and preferred dividend obligations strain liquidity.
Peer treasury companies like Strategy face similar crypto exposure, but Strive's unique daily distribution schedule imposes tighter operational requirements.
Is Strive stock a buy?Buying Bitcoin directly, or a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), looks like a better deal than paying a premium for Strive stock right now. Counting its preferred stock, Strive is valued at about 1.4 times its Bitcoin, cash, and other treasury assets. That means investors are paying roughly 40% more than those assets are currently worth.
A sound strategy is to invest in treasury companies like Strive when their market caps are trading closer to the value of the Bitcoin and other treasury assets they hold. At near 1x net asset value (NAV), investors get the benefit of leveraged upside on the long-term appreciation of Bitcoin without overpaying. When the premium to NAV goes up, it's better to buy Bitcoin directly.
The main risk investors have to account for with treasury companies is the volatility. Bitcoin itself is highly volatile, but a treasury company like Strive is even more so. You're also betting on management's execution, which is another risk. With spot Bitcoin, there is no execution risk -- just the volatility of the asset itself.
For most Bitcoin investors, buying an ETF is the simpler option.
Akcie společnosti SanDisk za poslední měsíc ztratily 33,18 %, přesto firma ve fiskálním čtvrtém čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 371,6 % na 8,96 miliardy USD a má uzavřené smlouvy v hodnotě nejméně 93,9 miliardy USD.
SanDisk has shed a third of its value in a month even as its business posts record numbers and locks in nearly $94 billion in signed customer contracts. One top analyst sees a near-triple from here, but the bull case…
SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK | SNDK Price Prediction) currently trades at $1,260.93, while Wall Street’s average price target is $2,173. That gap works out to 72.3% implied upside.
SanDisk is the NAND flash pure-play that was spun out in February 2025. AI datacenter storage demand has made it one of the market’s biggest winners. Fiscal fourth-quarter revenue reached $8.96 billion, up 371.6% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS of $39.25 beat the $33.28 estimate.
The gap stands out because the stock has pulled back just as the business looks strongest. Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes holds a Street-high target of $3,600, which implies 185.5% upside. That is close to triple the current price.
China Memory Fears and Profit-Taking Drag SanDisk Down 33% in a Month The biggest blow came from reports that China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies had made progress on next-generation DRAM and server-grade DDR5 chips. That news triggered selling across memory stocks. SanDisk has lost 33.18% over the past month. It fell 8.51% in the latest session alone and now sits 46.4% below its 52-week high of $2,354.39.
SanDisk makes NAND, a separate product from DRAM, so ChangXin’s progress is a less direct threat. Other pressures piled on anyway: profit-taking after the 2026 rally, rising Treasury yields and concerns about debt-funded AI infrastructure spending. The company’s own numbers remain strong. SanDisk has beaten EPS estimates five straight quarters.
Analysts See $93.9 Billion in Contracts the Market Is Discounting The bull case rests on SanDisk’s multi-year customer agreements, which the company calls NBMs. CFO Luis Visoso said signed NBMs carry total expected revenue of “a minimum of $93.9 billion, assuming floor pricing.” Those contracts are expected to cover more than 50% of bits in fiscal 2027 and approximately two-thirds in fiscal 2028, and they are backed by $16.5 billion in financial guarantees.
Melius builds its $3,600 target on three pillars: demand for High-Bandwidth Flash, tight NAND pricing and free cash flow strong enough to support up to $100 billion in buybacks over three years. Other desks sit close behind, with Bernstein at $3,000 and Cantor Fitzgerald at $2,900. The board has already added $14 billion in buyback authorization.
Recent updates have been positive. Mizuho maintained Outperform and raised its target to $2,050, and Rosenblatt initiated at Buy with a $2,400 target. The next test is the upcoming earnings report. Guidance calls for revenue of $10.30 billion to $10.80 billion and EPS of $44.00 to $46.00.
Price targets are opinions, though. The $3,600 call assumes pricing stays strong in a NAND market that management expects to grow 3x year over year in 2026.
Every Storage Name Sold Off, and SanDisk Fell Hardest The whole storage group fell together. Over the past month, SanDisk dropped more than any of its peers.
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) is down 20.09% over the past month. It trades at $856.49 versus a $1,560.57 target and offers 82.2% implied upside. Nine analysts rate it Strong Buy, 36 Buy, three Hold and one Strong Sell. That is more consensus upside than SanDisk.
Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC), SanDisk’s former parent, has fallen 25.23% in a month. At $354.19 versus a $654 target, the implied upside is 84.6%, with four Strong Buy, 17 Buy and five Hold ratings.
Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) is down 30.49% in a month. It trades at $642.14 versus a $1,116.58 target and offers 73.9% upside, which is similar to SanDisk.
On consensus targets, Western Digital has the most upside in the group, and SanDisk has the least. SanDisk’s case rests heavily on its outlier targets.
A 431% Year Still Survives the Slide At $1,260.93, SanDisk would need to rise 72.3% to reach the $2,173 consensus. Here is how the 25 covering analysts rate the stock:
Strong Buy: 4 Buy: 17 Hold: 3 Strong Sell: 1 Even after the selloff, the stock is up 431.19% year to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 12.03%. Over the past month, SanDisk fell 33.18% while the index slipped 0.5%. The forward P/E is about 8.
Signed Revenue Tilts Me Bullish Before Earnings My view on SanDisk becomes more constructive if the coming earnings report hits guidance and NBM coverage keeps growing. That would show signed pricing holding up in a falling market. My view becomes cautious if NAND pricing rolls over or AI capex budgets shrink. Floor-price contracts protect revenue, yet margins near 84.6% leave a long way to fall.
I lean bullish. A forward multiple near 8 with $93.9 billion in signed floor revenue reflects much of the bad news. Still, I’d treat the $3,600 target as a ceiling, and the consensus is the more realistic mark to measure against.

Centrus Energy (LEU) převzala společnost Westerman Holdings za přibližně 116 milionů USD, čímž získala čtyři výrobní závody a zhruba 400 zaměstnanců s cílem rozšířit kapacity pro výrobu jaderného paliva.
Centrus Energy (LEU) recently acquired Westerman Holdings, securing a crucial manufacturing supplier as nuclear fuel demand accelerates. Westerman produces specialized equipment across several sectors, including nuclear-grade items like UF6 cylinders, engineered industrial systems, and production technologies for upstream and midstream oil and gas. The Centrus Energy Westerman acquisition points to a broader trend of nuclear companies using targeted M&A deals to secure heavy manufacturing capabilities and expand capacity.
Key Takeaways
Centrus purchased 100% of Westerman Holdings for roughly $116 million using a mix of cash on hand and common stock.
The transaction adds about 400 manufacturing employees and four production facilities across Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.
Westerman brings active revenue streams from non-nuclear industrial markets, matching a key trait seen across several Range Nuclear Renaissance ETF (NUKZ) holdings.
Strategic Supply Chain Impact of Centrus Energy Westerman Acquisition
Centrus acquired 100% of Westerman’s outstanding membership interests for approximately $116 million, according to a statement from the firm. Centrus funded the purchase price through $95 million in cash on hand alongside $21 million in Centrus Class A common stock. As part of the closing structure, Centrus repaid Westerman’s $12.7 million term loan and fully satisfied $31.5 million in subordinated notes. Centrus expects the transaction to be accretive to its adjusted earnings per share in the first full year.
Operationally, the deal adds roughly 400 employees and four manufacturing facilities located in Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wyoming to Centrus’ footprint. Westerman already acts as a primary supplier producing centrifuge casings and key components for Centrus. Bringing this capacity in-house mirrors the industrywide reliance on specialized EPC and manufacturing firms to execute infrastructure buildouts.
Revenue Diversification Fits NUKZ Portfolio Profile
In addition to nuclear transportation cylinders, Westerman maintains an established customer base in oil, gas, and petrochemical markets. That existing non-nuclear business gives Centrus immediate revenue streams outside core enrichment services.
This hybrid structure mirrors several other holdings inside the Range Nuclear Renaissance ETF (NUKZ). Many holdings in the fund maintain strong industrial, energy, or defense businesses, allowing them to generate consistent cash flow while retaining upside to long-term nuclear deployment.
NUKZ offers exposure to the entire nuclear value chain, including reactor design, construction, utilities, and fuel supply chains.

nVent Electric očekává, že tržby z datových center v roce 2026 překročí 2 mld. USD, což by znamenalo více než dvojnásobný meziroční nárůst, díky rostoucí poptávce po kapalinovém chlazení pro AI.
Key Takeaways NVT doubled liquid cooling capacity with Blaine, but expects demand to require further expansion.NVT expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than double the prior year's level.NVT plans Blaine 2 for H1 2027 and a new modular liquid cooling platform launch in fall 2026. nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) sees rising heat levels from next-generation AI chips as an opportunity to grow its liquid cooling business. As data centers use more powerful chips, they need better cooling systems to manage the additional heat. nVent Electric has been developing liquid cooling solutions for more than a decade and is expanding its capacity to meet rising customer demand.
The company is increasing its investment in liquid cooling to support the growth of AI data centers. nVent Electric opened a new facility in Blaine, MN, in early 2026, effectively doubling its liquid cooling capacity. However, management said this expansion would not be enough to meet expected demand. The company has announced another facility, Blaine 2, of a similar size, which is expected to open in the first half of 2027. nVent Electric expects total data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than double the prior year’s level, with liquid cooling making a significant contribution.
nVent Electric is developing products to meet changing data center requirements. The company is preparing to launch a new modular liquid cooling platform in fall 2026. Management said customer interest in the platform is high. nVent Electric is also working with NVIDIA and other industry participants on product requirements through 2030 to prepare for future generations of AI chips and rising rack-level heat densities.
Management estimates that liquid cooling currently accounts for only 10% to 15% of data center cooling. It expects the technology to have a long growth opportunity as data centers adopt more powerful chips and upgrade their cooling systems. This could support demand for nVent Electric’s liquid cooling products beyond the initial build-out of AI data centers. As of now, the company will need to bring new capacity online and scale production to meet customer demand. Its ability to execute on these expansion plans will be important to sustaining growth in this business.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTnVent Electric faces stiff competition from AI data center infrastructure players such as Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI - Free Report) .
Vertiv is also benefiting from strong AI data center spending and has a broad portfolio covering power and thermal management. VRT offers power, cooling and services as an integrated solution and is expanding its liquid-cooling capabilities through acquisitions, including Strategic Thermal Labs, which added server-side liquid cooling and cold-plate expertise. VRT expects 2026 sales of $14 billion, suggesting 37% year-over-year growth, with organic growth of 31%.
Super Micro Computer is another strong player in AI data-center infrastructure, with its business spanning servers, storage, networking and direct liquid cooling. Its data center building block solutions combine GPU and CPU servers, storage, direct liquid cooling, cooling distribution units, networking and data-center management software. SMCI is also expanding its liquid-cooling capacity and expects its manufacturing network to support more than 3,000 direct liquid-cooled racks per month. For fiscal 2027, the company expects revenues of $65-$72 billion.

Meta Platforms odložila účinnost nových podmínek používání z 30. října na 20. listopadu po námitkách vydavatelů a digitálních inzerentů ohledně využívání obsahu pro umělou inteligenci.
Meta Platforms (META.O) will delay the implementation of updated commercial terms to November 20 from October 30 so it can address concerns from publishers and digital advertisers, the US tech company said on Friday, in a move that could stave off potential regulatory action.
Meta's move followed complaints by publishers and digital advertisers to EU and UK antitrust authorities about its new commercial terms, which they said would give the company an unlimited right to use their content for its AI services. Meta has rejected the claims.
"We are extending the effective date of our updated Commercial Terms and Self-Serve Ad Terms to 20 November to allow more time for us to explain to our partners and stakeholders what's changing and what's not," a Meta spokesperson said in an email.
The company will explain how Meta uses web crawlers, and the fact that content owners will still be able to use robots.txt to signal preferences, the spokesperson said.
The EU antitrust watchdog said it welcomed the delay amid discussions with the company on the proposed commercial terms.
It said it had sent requests for information to companies that have not published summaries about the data used to train their models.
Publishers worldwide are ramping up their fight with AI companies that use their content without permission to train large language models, underscoring the clash between copyright owners and those citing fair-use arguments.
Tesla's European sales are telling a story that contradicts everything happening in its home market, and the reason behind the turnaround may surprise investors watching the company's global strategy.
Europe’s car market is OK, and September registration numbers show it. In the first nine months of the year, total registrations in the region were up 5.7% to 8,517,058. The organization reported that 22.7% were EVs. The report came from the ACEA, the official tracker of registrations in the area.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) registrations surged in the same period, up 69.9% to 188,035. The momentum picked up in September. Tesla registrations rose 78.6% to 45,866. The EU appears to be Tesla’s best market as EV sales falter in the US, and Tesla faces dozens of China-based EVs operating in its home market.
The one thing that should make Tesla management nervous about the EU is that archrival BYD registered 206,022 vehicles in the first nine months, which was a 154.4% surge.
Tesla is making an EU comeback. Through much of 2025, its sales dropped precipitously. Some observers believe this was because of Elon Musk’s association with Donald Trump and what was seen as meddling in EU politics. Those problems appear to have disappeared.
In its home market, Tesla has a market share just north of 50%. However, US EV sales overall are down 30.7% year over year in the first nine months compared to the same period last year. In 2025, from January through September, EVs accounted for 8.5% of new car sales. That has fallen to 6%. Most experts believe that this is because the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs ended September 30.
Gas prices are higher in most of the EU compared to the US. That may be another reason for rapid adoption.
Tesla needs a boost. Its third-quarter earnings drove the stock down, and unit sales were less than thrilling. Tesla said it delivered 486,582 vehicles, which was about flat with the year before.
In China, there were once over 100 EV companies. It was clear that number would drop. However, the leaders have a large market share, and Tesla will not overcome that.
The EU shows that Tesla can turn a market around. Most of its competition in the US has shut down because of poor sales. It has a chance to make its sales in its home market look more like the EU numbers.

In its upcoming report, Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $2.94 per share, reflecting an increase of 2.4% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $111.64 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 27.6%.
The current level reflects an upward revision of 1.4% 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 announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While it's common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts' forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.
Given this perspective, it's time to examine the average forecasts of specific Alphabet metrics that are routinely monitored and predicted by Wall Street analysts.
It is projected by analysts that the 'Revenues- Google advertising' will reach $83.52 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +12.6%.
Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Revenues- YouTube ads' should arrive at $11.34 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +10.6% from the prior-year quarter.
Analysts forecast 'Revenues- Google Cloud' to reach $29.16 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +92.4%.

Tržby AWS ve druhém čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 meziročně vzrostly o 37 % na 42,23 mld. USD, což představuje nejrychlejší tempo růstu za 18 čtvrtletí.
AWS just posted its fastest growth in 18 quarters, yet Amazon shares still sit well below their 52-week high. The path to $500 by 2030 exists, but it hinges on one part of the business clearing a very high bar.
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN | AMZN Price Prediction | AMZN Price Prediction) runs the world’s biggest cloud platform, and that cloud is speeding up again. AWS revenue reached $42.23B in Q2 FY26, up 37% YoY. That was its fastest growth in 18 quarters.
The stock is up 13.97% this year, which still trails what the business is doing. CEO Andy Jassy now says AWS could become “a trillion-dollar annual revenue business for us in time.” So can Amazon reach $500 per share by 2030?
Spending Fears Are Holding Amazon Back Right Now
Capex is the concern. Amazon raised its 2026 cash capex estimate to roughly $220 billion, up from about $200 billion, and cited higher memory costs. Free cash flow turned negative at -$7.6B TTM. Q3 guidance calls for only 9-12% sales growth, partly because Prime Day moved into Q2.
CNBC this week called it a “stumbling stock” that needs a path back to record highs. Shares sit at $262.59, below the 52-week high of $287.20. The past week (+1.74%) and month (+3.69%) show only a small rebound. With a beta of 1.456, the stock tends to amplify market moves.
Analysts Are Bullish, but Their Targets Stop Too Soon
Wall Street’s consensus target is $331.46. The ratings include 16 Strong Buys, 43 Buys, 2 Holds, along with 0 Sells. The model puts shares at $334.91, a 27.54% gain. The bear case sits at $287.36, while the bull case reaches $386.57. Confidence in the model is 0.7, which is fairly high.
The consensus looks too short-sighted. Sentiment is 97% bullish, yet earnings growth adds only 0.03 to the factor after a mega-cap drag. One-year targets also leave out the AWS backlog. Our five-year base case puts shares at $489.98 by October 2030.
Here’s What It Takes for Amazon to Reach $500
Getting from today’s price of $262.59 to $500 would take a gain of 90.4%.
Consensus FY2027 EPS is $10.5519. At $500, that is a forward P/E of 47x. The $334.91 estimate works out to 32x on the same EPS, so the bold target needs roughly 16x of additional multiple expansion.
That gap closes if earnings compound through 2030. The highest FY2027 estimate is $15.0435, and at that level $500 is only 33x. The model’s 1.102 adjustment factor reflects “strong earnings acceleration.”
AWS backlog stands at $496 billion and is growing triple digits. The AI and chips businesses each run above $25 billion annualized. Anthropic and OpenAI have signed multi-year, multi-gigawatt Trainium commitments. Jassy added: “We will still not have enough capacity to meet all the demand we have in 2026.”
A key risk is that capex keeps climbing faster than AWS revenue and delays the free cash flow recovery past 2030.
Where Amazon Trades Today vs Its Earnings Power
Amazon trades at about 25x FY2027 EPS, versus a trailing P/E of 36x. For a company whose largest profit engine is growing 37% with a 39.4% operating margin, that multiple looks reasonable.
Shares sit inside a 52-week range of $196 to $287.20. The 10-year return is 542.43%. Today’s valuation gives earnings growth room to carry most of the load toward $500.
$500 Is a Stretch, but Here’s Why It’s Possible
A $500 price needs a 90.4% gain. My conclusion is that this is ambitious yet credible. Three things have to go right. AWS has to keep growing above 30%.
AI margins have to follow the core cloud path, which Jassy says is happening “a little ahead” of schedule. And revenue growth has to outpace capex so free cash flow turns positive again. A recession that hits enterprise cloud budgets would knock this off course.
Such returns shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the plan for how Amazon could reach $500 in 2030.

One growth opportunity, the Helios rack-scale AI ramp, is the swing factor that could push shares well past our target.
Why We Could Be Wrong The 24/7 Wall St. price target sits just below where AMD trades today. Real upside could come from Helios shipments ramping faster than planned, or from server CPU demand that management says is exceeding supply.
Consider our target one datapoint among many. A detailed bull case appears below.
A 9% Pullback Interrupts a 156% Rally AMD fell 9.28% over the past week and 1.87% over the past month. Shares now sit 16.6% below the 52-week high of $658.52, though still far above the $188.22 low.
Fundamentals support much of the run. Second-quarter revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54 billion, beating the $11.31 billion consensus, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.66 exceeded the $1.61 estimate. Data Center revenue jumped 107% to $6.72 billion. Third-quarter guidance calls for about $13 billion, plus or minus $300 million.
Helios Could Drive a Run to $689 AMD holds gigawatt-scale commitments from OpenAI (6 gigawatts), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) (up to 6 GW) and Anthropic (up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs, starting in the first half of 2027). Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) plans Helios at scale on Azure.
CEO Lisa Su said in August that “customer pull for Helios is very strong and tracking ahead of our initial forecast,” with revenue per gigawatt in the “double-digit billions.”
Management expects Data Center revenue to more than double in 2027 and projects the AI accelerator market reaching about $1.4 trillion by 2030. Analysts agree: 45 rate AMD a buy or strong buy, none rate it a sell, and the consensus target is $627.65. Our bull scenario reaches $689.35.
Valuation Leaves Little Margin for Stumbles At 137x trailing earnings, AMD needs clean execution. Management noted supply limits on wafers, packaging and HBM, plus early Helios yields. Gaming revenue fell 31%, and Q2 free cash flow slipped 9.89% as capex jumped 186.52%. Export controls already cost an $800M MI308 charge.
Counterpoint: that capex funds the Helios ramp, and the 40x forward P/E looks far more reasonable. Our bear scenario lands at $433.06.
How AMD Compares to NVIDIA and Broadcom NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is AMD’s direct AI accelerator rival. Its latest quarterly revenue rose 105.85% to $96.22 billion, yet it trades at just 44x earnings. Faster growth at a lower multiple caps how much premium AMD deserves.
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) competes for the same hyperscaler budgets with custom accelerators. AI semiconductor revenue grew 221% to $16.7 billion, showing how the market rewards proven AI scale.
Company Trailing P/E Latest Quarter Revenue Growth AMD 137x 50.1% NVIDIA 44x 105.85% Broadcom n/a 85.5% Against this group, our target looks reasonable.
Our HOLD Rating Stands, With Helios as the Trigger The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $546.06 and hold rating carry 90% confidence. Valuation tips the scale.
I would turn more positive if Q3 results confirm the Helios step-up and guidance tops $13 billion. I would stay cautious if supply or yield problems push the ramp further into 2027. Today, AMD is fairly valued.
Year Price Target (Base) from 24/7 Wall St. Bull Case 2026 $557.08 $565.62 2027 $546.06 $689.35 2028 $580.42 $768.63 2029 $601.18 $833.38 2030 $606.62 $889.79 The projections rest on AMD continuing to execute on its current AI strategy. A faster MI500 ramp would move results toward the bull column, while tighter export controls or HBM shortages could pull them lower.
The accelerator story also keeps pulling in the companies that power and cool the racks, which is why we put together a report on seven AI infrastructure suppliers that aren’t chipmakers.

Citigroup v září zaznamenala nárůst podílu karetních pohledávek po splatnosti více než 30 dní na 1,35 % a anualizovaných čistých ztrát z úvěrů na 2,18 %.
Key Takeaways C's 30-day and 90-day card delinquencies rose sequentially in September, while receivables fell to $18.7B.The annualized net principal loss rate climbed to 2.18% in September from 2.03% in August.Citigroup expects a 4%-4.5% U.S. card net credit loss rate in 2026 amid ongoing consumer credit pressures.
Citigroup Inc. (C - Free Report) continues to navigate credit-quality challenges amid an uncertain economic environment. According to its latest SEC filing, its subsidiary, Citibank N.A., reported higher credit card delinquencies and net principal losses in September 2026, while outstanding principal receivables declined during the month.
For the period ended Sept. 25, 2026, the Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I reported principal receivables of $18.7 billion, down from $19.1 billion at the beginning of the period. Receivables delinquent for 30 days or more increased to 1.35% in September from 1.29% in August, while those delinquent for 90 days or more rose to 0.65% from 0.63%. The Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust’s annualized net principal loss rate climbed to 2.18% from 2.03% in August and 1.90% in July, signaling a pickup in credit losses.
The detailed filing also showed that 97.3% of receivables were current in September. However, balances delinquent for 31-60 days were $80.7 million, while those delinquent for 151-180 days totaled $37.4 million. The portfolio's annualized gross yield was 25.03%, while the principal payment rate was 41.45%. Although the high portfolio yield provides a revenue cushion against credit losses, the increase in delinquencies and net principal losses warrants monitoring. These figures relate to the securitized credit card portfolios and should not be interpreted as representing Citigroup's entire loan portfolio.
Citigroup’s broader asset-quality picture remains a concern. Although provisions for credit losses declined 2% year over year to $7.91 billion in the first nine months of 2026, the metric recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.5% from 2022 to 2025. However, credit quality showed improvement in the third quarter, with the U.S. Cards net credit loss rate declining to 3.6% from 4.0% a year earlier. Management’s earlier 2026 guidance projected a U.S. card net credit loss rate of 4-4.5%, highlighting continued credit risks.
Citigroup's organizational overhaul, business simplification initiatives and focus on operational efficiency could support profitability over the longer term. However, persistent inflation, pressure on borrowers' repayment capacity and rising card losses could weigh on asset quality. Any sustained deterioration in credit trends may lead to higher provisions and constrain earnings growth, even as the company benefits from resilient net interest income and a stronger focus on core businesses.
How Citigroup Stacks Up Against Peers in Card DelinquencyU.S. credit card metrics were mixed in September 2026, with delinquency rates increasing at both Bank of America (BAC - Free Report) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Free Report) , although the latter's rate remained relatively low. Both issuers reported lower outstanding receivables, while net charge-off and loss rates improved compared with the previous month.
Bank of America reported that the BA Master Credit Card Trust II delinquency rate increased to 1.37% in September 2026 from 1.28% in August. However, its net charge-off rate declined to 2.09% from 2.15% in August, indicating some improvement in credit losses. Total receivables fell to $14.53 billion from $14.63 billion at the beginning of the month.
JPMorgan Chase reported a delinquency rate of 0.81% for the Chase Issuance Trust in September 2026, with $95.1 million in delinquent receivables against a pool balance of $11.81 billion. Its annualized net loss rate was 1.52%. Principal receivables declined to $11.65 billion from $11.84 billion at the beginning of the month.

Check Out Our Latest Stock Analysis on NVIDIA Key Headlines Impacting NVIDIA Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
Positive Sentiment: AI infrastructure demand remains robust. CEO Jensen Huang said neocloud demand is “off the charts,” while Super Micro’s significantly higher revenue outlook and SpaceX’s plans to add substantial computing capacity provided evidence that customers continue expanding AI infrastructure. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says neocloud demand is off the charts but capital is scarce Positive Sentiment: GTC Berlin expanded NVIDIA’s addressable market. The company introduced DSX POD modular Vera Rubin AI factories, designed to reduce deployment timelines from roughly six months to as little as 14 days. Its DSX platform also targets up to 30% lower power consumption and near-zero cooling-water usage, potentially easing customers’ power and permitting constraints. NVIDIA introduces DSX POD AI factories Positive Sentiment: Platform expansion supports the long-term bull case. New partnerships involving AI-agent security, robotics, autonomous vehicles, telecom networks, quantum-computing interfaces and industrial AI reinforce NVIDIA’s strategy of selling a broader full-stack computing ecosystem rather than only GPUs. Neutral Sentiment: Quantum news is strategically relevant but not yet a material earnings driver. Quantum X Labs reported improved error-correction results using NVIDIA CUDA-Q, illustrating ecosystem adoption, although the announcement does not provide meaningful near-term revenue information for NVIDIA. Negative Sentiment: Investors are questioning AI-spending sustainability and financing. Concerns that hyperscalers, neoclouds and other customers may struggle to fund massive data-center buildouts are weighing on the entire AI trade. Rising-rate risk adds pressure to high-growth technology valuations. Negative Sentiment: Semiconductor-sector pressure compounded the decline. Chip stocks weakened after Lam Research cited supply-chain constraints, while broader technology indexes also fell. NVIDIA’s high valuation and upcoming earnings raise the risk of a “sell-the-news” reaction even if results exceed expectations.

Key NVIDIA News
Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
Positive Sentiment: AI infrastructure demand remains robust. CEO Jensen Huang said neocloud demand is “off the charts,” while Super Micro’s significantly higher revenue outlook and SpaceX’s plans to add substantial computing capacity provided evidence that customers continue expanding AI infrastructure. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says neocloud demand is off the charts but capital is scarce
Positive Sentiment: GTC Berlin expanded NVIDIA’s addressable market. The company introduced DSX POD modular Vera Rubin AI factories, designed to reduce deployment timelines from roughly six months to as little as 14 days. Its DSX platform also targets up to 30% lower power consumption and near-zero cooling-water usage, potentially easing customers’ power and permitting constraints. NVIDIA introduces DSX POD AI factories
Positive Sentiment: Platform expansion supports the long-term bull case. New partnerships involving AI-agent security, robotics, autonomous vehicles, telecom networks, quantum-computing interfaces and industrial AI reinforce NVIDIA’s strategy of selling a broader full-stack computing ecosystem rather than only GPUs.
Neutral Sentiment: Quantum news is strategically relevant but not yet a material earnings driver. Quantum X Labs reported improved error-correction results using NVIDIA CUDA-Q, illustrating ecosystem adoption, although the announcement does not provide meaningful near-term revenue information for NVIDIA.
Negative Sentiment: Investors are questioning AI-spending sustainability and financing. Concerns that hyperscalers, neoclouds and other customers may struggle to fund massive data-center buildouts are weighing on the entire AI trade. Rising-rate risk adds pressure to high-growth technology valuations.
Negative Sentiment: Semiconductor-sector pressure compounded the decline. Chip stocks weakened after Lam Research cited supply-chain constraints, while broader technology indexes also fell. NVIDIA’s high valuation and upcoming earnings raise the risk of a “sell-the-news” reaction even if results exceed expectations.

Wall Street already sees more than 50% upside in NVIDIA, but one analyst thinks even that target is too conservative. Here is the specific combination of catalysts that could push shares well beyond what most investors are pricing in.
Jensen Huang put it simply in August: “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.” That line explains why NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) remains the center of the AI expansion.
Shares are up 15.08% year-to-date at $214.13, even after a 6.61% drop last week tied to a global tech rout on AI funding worries. Over five years, the stock has gained 883.76%. I think that decline sets up the next leg. Here’s what NVIDIA needs to do to hit $350 in 2027.
Wall Street Already Sees More Than 50% Upside
The consensus price target sits at $328.72, roughly 54% above today’s price. Analysts are nearly unanimous, with 10 Strong Buy and 49 Buy ratings against 1 Sell.
Estimates keep climbing. Fiscal 2028 EPS forecasts rose from $12.7636 90 days ago to $15.9146, with 7 upward revisions and 0 downward over the last 30 days. In the latest quarter, EPS of $2.22 topped the $2.09 consensus, marking a fifth consecutive earnings beat, on revenue up 105.8%.
Here’s What It Takes for NVIDIA to Reach $350
At $214.13, NVIDIA changes hands at about 13x fiscal 2028 earnings estimates. At $350, that multiple would be roughly 22x, close to a market-average valuation for a company projected to grow EPS about 71% from fiscal 2027’s $9.3124 estimate.
How might NVIDIA reach $350?
Vera Rubin: Management expects the fastest product ramp in company history, lifting revenue opportunity per gigawatt from $25 billion with Blackwell to $40 billion.
Hyperscaler capex: Top-five hyperscaler spending is expected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2027, and AWS is deploying an additional 2 million GPUs.
Untapped demand: Management guided to roughly 70% fiscal 2028 revenue growth while noting “Customers’ forecasts point to our growth doubling next year.” Supply, rather than demand, is the limiting factor.
Beat streak: Five straight beats suggest actual results may outrun forecasts again.
All of that expansion has to be powered, cooled, and networked by somebody other than NVIDIA, which is why we rounded up seven non-chip AI infrastructure names in a free report you can grab here.
NVIDIA’s History Says a 63% Gain Is Within Reach
Hitting $350 requires a 63% gain. NVIDIA has posted triple-digit annual returns in 2016, 2021, 2023, and 2024, and shares are up 13002.9% over ten years.
With a market cap near $5.17 trillion, repeating those moves is harder, but a beta of 2.216 means big swings remain part of this stock’s character.
Is $350 Realistic? Here’s My Take
Reaching $350 asks for a 63% gain, but Wall Street already projects about 54% upside and estimates are rising. The challenges are real: guidance assumes zero China data center compute revenue, supply commitments reached $279 billion, and AI funding worries could weigh on the group.
A 22x multiple on next year’s earnings looks reasonable, assuming Vera Rubin ramps as planned and NVIDIA keeps beating expectations. Such returns shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the blueprint for how NVIDIA could see outsized returns in 2027.

Every time NVIDIA pulls back, the same question resurfaces: is the selloff a warning sign or a rare entry point into the most entrenched platform in AI computing? The answer depends on one software layer that almost nobody talks about.
I have bought NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) on dip after dip, and this latest slide put the stock back at the top of my research list. Shares fell 4.4% in the most recent session and 7.28% over the past month, closing at $212.21. That pullback stands out given NVIDIA’s position in AI computing.
Why I Keep Coming Back to NVIDIA
My thesis comes down to one point. AI models run on NVIDIA, and the CUDA software layer makes leaving expensive. On the August call, CEO Jensen Huang said “Our position in open models is very good because the CUDA ecosystem is literally everywhere.” Developers write for CUDA, clouds rent CUDA, and each new chip generation inherits that installed base. That lock-in strengthens with each chip generation.
Three Reasons My Conviction Keeps Growing
First, growth at scale. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 reached $96.22B, up 105.8% year over year. Data Center revenue hit $89.02B, up 117%, and networking grew 138%. That tells me customers buy the whole AI factory, chips and connections together. Guidance calls for $108.0B ±2% next quarter.
Second, profitability. NVIDIA runs a 71.07% gross margin, a 60.38% operating margin, and a 101.49% return on equity. Fiscal 2026 free cash flow came in at $96.58B.
The balance sheet and capital return also look strong. Its debt-to-equity stands at 0.073, and interest coverage at 503.42x. NVIDIA returned about $26.0B in Q2 and holds $99.0B of remaining buyback authorization. The 0.019% yield pays me little, so I own this for compounding, and a P/E of 43 looks reasonable for that growth rate.
Why AMD and Broadcom Trail NVIDIA in My Analysis
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) grew Data Center revenue 107% last quarter. Still, it trades at a P/E of 191, with a gross margin near 49.5%, and its Q2 free cash flow fell 9.89%. AMD itself lists ROCm’s competition with established developer ecosystems as a risk.
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) posted AI semiconductor revenue of $16.70 billion, up 221%. Its own filings flag dependence on a limited number of AI customers and significant indebtedness. I prefer NVIDIA’s near-debt-free platform.
Risks I Track Every Quarter
Supply commitments rose to $279.0B from $119.0B one quarter earlier, mostly linked to Vera Rubin memory. Days sales outstanding extended to 60 days from 45, and guidance excludes China Data Center compute. If AI spending stalls, those commitments could hurt margins and cash flow.
Demand still exceeds supply. Huang said “Even though our demand is much greater than 70%, our supply allows us to confidently deliver 70%.” NVIDIA holds Vera Rubin purchase orders from every major hyperscaler, AI cloud and system OEM. Those orders make the commitments look like preparation to me.
What Keeps NVIDIA at the Top of My Watchlist
NVIDIA’s revenue opportunity per gigawatt rises to $40 billion with Vera Rubin from $25 billion with Blackwell. Top hyperscaler capex should reach nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027. The stock has returned 837.87% over five years, and my long-term view remains the same. The expansion also needs power, cooling, and networking suppliers that rarely make the headlines, which we profiled in a free report on seven AI infrastructure stocks that aren’t chipmakers.

Bill Ackman očekává, že Netflix bude dosahovat ročního výnosu přes 20 %, přestože společnost snížila výhled tržeb z reklamy o 300 milionů USD na 2,7 miliardy USD.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman lost more than $400 million on Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in 2022 after deciding its future was too difficult to predict. Four years later, he’s back, forecasting annualized investment returns above 20% despite another disappointing earnings reaction.
“We expect our go-forward IRR to be well into the 20s,” Ackman told CNBC Thursday.
From a $400 Million Loss to a ‘High-Growth Utility’Ackman’s Pershing Square sold its entire Netflix stake in April 2022, just three months after buying it. Subscriber losses and uncertainty over advertising and password-sharing plans had shaken his confidence.
“We have lost confidence in our ability to predict the company’s future prospects with a sufficient degree of certainty,” he wrote to investors.
Now Ackman calls Netflix a “high-growth utility,” citing subscriber loyalty, pricing power and earnings growth he expects to remain in the high teens to 20% for years.
“They’ve won the streaming wars. I don’t know who displaces Netflix,” he said.
Ackman even welcomed this week’s results, despite the post-earnings selloff.
“We actually view the quarter very favorably,” he said.
Netflix’s third-quarter operating income climbed 37% to $4.46 billion, while subscriber cancellations declined globally and in the United States despite recent price increases.
Why Ackman Welcomes Cheaper SharesNetflix generated $2.9 billion in quarterly free cash flow and spent a record $4.8 billion repurchasing shares, its latest results showed.
Ackman believes falling share prices could benefit long-term investors by allowing Netflix to buy back more stock for the same money.
“We’ll make more money over time if the stock is cheaper in the short to intermediate term because they’re going to cancel a lot more shares as a result,” he said.
He described Netflix as trading at roughly 18 times earnings, although trailing profits include a one-time $2.8 billion payment received earlier this year following the failed Warner Bros. Discovery deal.
But Netflix’s growth is showing signs of strain. The company cut its advertising revenue forecast by $300 million to $2.7 billion, while its U.S. programming has reportedly struggled to produce major hits.
Netflix is bringing in a new content chief to turn things around, even as YouTube captures a growing share of Americans’ viewing time.
Investor and YouTube commentator Joseph Carlson pushed back on the YouTube threat in a video Wednesday.
“People do not necessarily cancel Netflix because they watch more YouTube,” Carlson said.
Ackman also said Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) could finance its ambitious AI expansion with additional borrowing, pointing to its $82 billion in cash and securities.
On Polymarket, traders gave Netflix a roughly 10% chance of reaching $75 by October’s end, about 12% above Thursday’s $67.05 close. The market had approximately $35,000 traded.
While prediction-market traders focus on the next few trading sessions, Ackman’s return to Netflix reflects a longer-term bet that rising profits and aggressive buybacks can deliver exceptional returns even as revenue growth slows.

Walmart is on pace for its best month in over two decades while a trillion-dollar milestone sits just out of reach, but the real question is whether the buying surge reflects the retailer's strength or something more fragile hiding behind…
Walmart (NASDAQ:WMT | WMT Price Prediction) rose 2.82% on Thursday, October 22, 2026, and closed at $121.12. On the same day, the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.60% to 26,008.86, its worst day since June.
That close left Walmart’s market value at $960.94 billion. That is about $39 billion, or 4.1%, short of $1 trillion. The shares added 0.42% after hours to $121.63.
From a September 30 close of $103.92, Walmart is up 16.6% in October with six trading sessions left, which puts it on pace for its best month since 1999. A discount retailer is trading like a growth stock because money is leaving AI and tech, so a buyer at this price is paying as much for the sector rotation as for Walmart’s business.
What Getting Back to $1 Trillion Requires Walmart first passed $1 trillion on February 3, 2026, the first retailer to do so. It hit an intraday record of about $126 a share two weeks after it joined the Nasdaq-100.
With 7.93 billion shares outstanding, a return to breakeven requires roughly $126.05 a share. That is still below the 52-week high of $135.16, so the milestone means recovering lost ground.
Thursday’s gain came with no new contract, filing, or guidance change. The most recent reported results are from the second quarter of fiscal 2027, when adjusted EPS of $0.81 beat the $0.7413 consensus.
Walmart’s Lead Over Staples Is Narrower Than It Looks For October as a whole, Walmart is ahead of the State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLP), which is up 11.7% from $80.60. The fund is close to its best month since it launched in December 1998.
On Thursday, though, XLP rose 3.31% to $89.99 and beat Walmart. Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) rose 5.58% after its fiscal first-quarter results, while Costco (NASDAQ:COST) gained 1.99%.
The S&P staples sector gained 11.1% over October’s first 16 trading days, its third-best start to a month since 1990. It now trails its February 27 record close by 0.26%.
Bank of America clients sold a record $14.8 billion of individual U.S. stocks in the week through October 16. Staples were among the few sectors those clients bought.
Valuation and Crowding Risks Behind a Defensive Label Walmart trades at 44 times earnings, and its $0.99 annual dividend yields 0.82%. That income does little to pay you for waiting. Bank of America also placed staples among the highest readings on its Bubble Risk Indicator.
Five of the seven earlier months with similar staples gains came in 2000 and 2001, before the recession that began in March 2001. In February 2026, however, XLP rose 7.8% while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) fell 0.9%, and SPY was up 11.8% six months later.
Prediction-market traders put the odds of a recession by the end of 2026 at 7.5%. Those odds rise to 35% by the end of 2027. If AI concerns ease before then, the money that moved into staples can move back out, which is the whole question our free bubble survivor’s handbook is built around: riding the move while planning the exit.
What Could Change the Case for WMT Stock The risk outweighs the reward at this price. The business is strong, but Thursday’s move followed sector flows, and at 44 times earnings, the current price already assumes those flows will last.
For investors who want staples exposure, XLP offers a wider alternative worth exploring. Walmart made up 10.80325246068% of the fund’s net assets as of June 30, so you still own some Walmart with far less risk linked to a single stock’s valuation.
Walmart’s next earnings report is scheduled for November 19, 2026, before the market opens, although the company has not yet confirmed the date. The third-quarter adjusted EPS guidance is $0.62-$0.64. A close above $126.05 before then, followed by results above that range, would prove this view wrong. The next ex-dividend date is December 11, 2026.

Exxon Mobil očekává za čtvrtletí zisk na akcii (EPS) ve výši 3,96 USD, což představuje meziroční nárůst o 110,6 %, při tržbách 102,74 miliardy USD (+20,5 %).
Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Exxon Mobil Holdings (XOM - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 30. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis oil and natural gas company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.96 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +110.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $102.74 billion, up 20.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 18.67% 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.
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 Exxon?For Exxon, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +5.37%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.
So, this combination indicates that Exxon will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Exxon would post earnings of $3.68 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.52, delivering a surprise of -4.35%.
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.
Exxon appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Ford's grip on global auto markets is slipping faster than most realize, and the places it once counted on for growth are now closing the door on the American automaker.
Ford’s (NYSE: F | F Price Prediction) only remaining fortress is its home market. And it is not doing well here. Toyota (NYSE: TM) has passed it to become the second-largest selling brand in the US. Its third-quarter figures were weak in America. For the first nine months of the year, sales fell 8.6% to 1,519,279.
China has become a challenge for most car companies based outside the country. BYD, the world’s largest EV company, still tops the market. VW and Toyota do well. No US car companies are near the top of the list.
For US car companies, the EU is the area for expansion. Sales in the region are measured by “registrations” according to the ACEA. EU registrations in the first nine months were 10,555,361, up 6.2% from the previous year.
Local car companies lead EU registrations. The VW group has 27% of the market. Stellantis had 15%. Renault Group had 11%.
Among car companies based outside the EU, Hyundai topped the list with 7.1% market share, about the same as Toyota.
Ford is struggling in the EU. Its market share was less than 3% in the first three quarters. Unit registrations fell 17.6% to 191,896. That was behind China EV giant BYD, which registered 206,002 cars, up 154.4%.
While Ford has not run out of runway in its home market, it appears to be losing ground. It also has no chance to gain ground elsewhere.

Tržby divize Defense & Propulsion Technologies společnosti GE Aerospace ve třetím čtvrtletí roku 2026 meziročně vzrostly o 7 % na 3,47 miliardy USD, zatímco objednávky stouply o 18 %.
Key Takeaways GE's Defense & Propulsion Technologies revenues rose 7% to $3.47 billion in third-quarter 2026.Defense & systems revenues grew 5%, while propulsion & additive technologies revenues surged 10%.GE expects low-double-digit adjusted revenue growth in the segment for 2026, supported by defense demand.
GE Aerospace (GE - Free Report) is poised to gain from strength in its Defense & Propulsion Technologies segment. In third-quarter 2026, revenues from the segment increased 7% year over year to $3.47 billion and orders grew 18%. The company’s defense & systems business’ revenues grew 5% year over year and engine deliveries within the business increased 4%. In the same period, propulsion & additive technologies business’ revenues surged 10%. Revenue growth was driven by strong demand for GE’s propulsion & additive technologies, critical aircraft systems and aftermarket services in the defense market.
It is worth noting that in the first nine months of 2026, the company secured a contract from Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to supply T408-GE-400 engines for the U.S. Marine Corps’ Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion helicopters. GE secured a five-year contract to provide ongoing support for F414 engines powering the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 and EA-18G aircraft fleet.
It also secured a contract from Turkish Aerospace Industries (“TAI”) to continue integrating its F404 engine into Türkiye's Hurjet jet trainer. The company also clinched a $1.4 billion deal for T408 engines to support the U.S. Marine Corps’ CH-53K helicopter fleet in the same period.
Rising U.S. & international defense budgets and heightened geopolitical tensions, along with growing demand for military propulsion systems and aftermarket services, are expected to bode well for the Defense & Propulsion Technologies segment in the quarters ahead. For 2026, the company expects adjusted revenues to increase in low double digits within the Defense & Propulsion Technologies segment.
GE's Peers in the Defense MarketAmong its major peers, Textron Inc. (TXT - Free Report) enjoys solid demand for its defense products as well. In the second quarter of 2026, revenues from Textron’s Bell segment increased 6% year over year, driven largely by higher H-1 and MV-75 volume and an increase in commercial helicopter deliveries. Textron Systems revenues increased 7% on armored vehicles and ATAC services.
Another peer of GE, RTX Corporation (RTX - Free Report) , is witnessing solid bookings and backlog levels. RTX’s strong backlog supports a positive outlook for revenue growth in its defense business, which is expected to strengthen profits over the long term. RTX secured more than $81 billion in new commercial and defense awards during the third quarter of 2026. Its total backlog reached a record $340 billion, comprising $164 billion of defense orders, providing strong visibility into future production requirements.

Goldman Sachs ve 3. čtvrtletí 2026 zvýšil výnosy z akciových aktivit meziročně o 72 % na 6,44 mld. USD, což představuje druhý nejlepší kvartální výsledek divize.
Key Takeaways Goldman's Equities revenues surged 72% y/y to $6.44B, its second-highest quarterly result.Equities financing revenues jumped 96% to a record $3.37B, while intermediation revenues rose 52%.Combined FICC and Equities financing revenues hit $12.7B in nine months, exceeding 40% of total revenues. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS - Free Report) delivered robust performance in its Equities business in the third quarter of 2026, benefiting from strong client activity, rising financing demand and strength in derivatives. Third-quarter Equities net revenues surged 72% year over year to $6.44 billion, marking the company's second-highest quarterly performance in this business. For the first nine months of 2026, Equities revenues increased 57% year over year to $19.18 billion, reflecting sustained business momentum.
Goldman continues to benefit from robust demand for prime brokerage, portfolio financing and risk intermediation services. Management noted that demand for Equities financing exceeds available industry capacity, supporting attractive pricing and allowing the company to remain selective in capital deployment.
Multi-year investments in its global franchise, particularly in Asia, have strengthened its financing capabilities and supported higher client activity. These efforts, along with elevated average prime balances and strong activity across Asia, drove a 96% year-over-year surge in Equities financing revenues to a record $3.37 billion in the third quarter of 2026. Diversified client relationships and disciplined capital allocation further reinforce its competitive position.
Financing activities are also becoming an increasingly important growth driver for Goldman's trading business. In the first nine months of 2026, combined Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (“FICC”) and Equities financing revenues reached a record $12.7 billion, accounting for more than 40% of total FICC and Equities revenues. This growing contribution is expected to enhance revenue stability and reduce the dependence on transactional trading activity.
Overall, growing equity financing demand, expanding tradable assets and rising institutional financing needs should support Goldman's Equities business. However, market volatility, weaker trading activity, elevated interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties could weigh on revenues. Nonetheless, Goldman's strong market position, diversified financing platform and expanding client relationships position it well for long-term growth.
How Are Goldman's Peers Performing?Similar to Goldman, major Wall Street banks like Morgan Stanley (MS - Free Report) and JPMorgan (JPM - Free Report) also witnessed strong Equities performance.
Morgan Stanley reported Equity revenues of $5.80 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 41% year over year, driven by strong client engagement and broad-based growth across Morgan Stanley’s businesses and regions, particularly Asia.
Similarly, JPMorgan reported Equity Markets revenues of $5 billion, up 49% year over year, driven by strong performance across products, particularly prime brokerage and derivatives. Strong client demand for financing and risk management solutions supported trading performance, highlighting continued momentum in JPMorgan’s Equities franchise.

K dosažení ročního dividendového příjmu 10 000 USD by bylo potřeba investovat 395 000 USD do 3 968 akcií společnosti Starbucks s dividendovým výnosem 2,6 %.
Based on nothing more than the most basic of numbers, Starbucks (SBUX -0.74%) is a decent dividend stock. Shares of the chain of coffee shops boast a forward-looking dividend yield of 2.6%, and better still, its quarterly dividend's not only been reliably paid for years, but been raised every year for the past 16 years. And by more than a little. You could certainly do worse.
But could you do better? The $395,000 stake (3,968 shares) you'd need to own in Starbucks just to generate $10,000 in annual dividend income is a lot of money to tie up that could be put to work in ways that make more sense for you, perhaps like the purchase of super-safe 10-year Treasuries, which are currently yielding around 5.1%.
Here's some food for thought.
It's still a stake in a for-profit company Most blue chip dividend stocks are safe enough in the sense that there's no real risk of a complete wipeout of your money. Starbucks in no exception. Every dividend-paying stock is still also an equity stake in a particular company, however, and participation in that organization's fiscal performance.
That's where Starbucks and its stock have let investors down for the better part of the past five years. While it's technically continued growing its top line, the rate of this growth is markedly slower than its pre-pandemic pace. Profits have also stagnated, not to mention been erratic.
SBUX data by YCharts
Blame a combination of leadership turnover, labor woes, and market saturation, much of which is due to Starbucks' own overwhelming presence. As of the latest count, the company was operating 41,304 stores worldwide, with 16,933 of those units found in the United States alone. That doesn't leave a great deal of room for healthy continued expansion.
This doesn't necessarily make Starbucks a horrible income investment. As was noted, it's not only still paying a respectable dividend, but reliably growing it. We're also seeing glimmers of hope that its profit-crimping struggle since 2024 may finally be coming to a close. Last quarter's overall same-store sales were up 7.9%, capping off four consecutive quarters of such growth.
Image source: Getty Images.
There are still lingering concerns, though, like last quarter's slight 1% decline in revenue. It's going to take several quarters of total top-line progress to confirm that Starbucks is capable of making sustained net growth again. Until then, most interested investors are content to remain on the sidelines.
Better options are out there In answer to the titular question, then, no, buying nearly $400,000 worth of Starbucks stock (that's far from guaranteed to perform) just to plug into its dividend isn't worth it.
That's even more so the case given all the other, safer options, like Coca-Cola (KO -2.04%). Despite this stock's 36% rally to record highs over the past 12 months, it's currently yielding a comparable 2.3% and has increased its dividend for 64 consecutive years.
Or there's the aforementioned option of longer-term Treasuries, which -- thanks to recent rate hikes -- now sport yields in excess of 5%. Although these instruments don't offer any capital growth potential, with yields twice those of Coca-Cola shares or an uncertain Starbucks, they might still make more near-term sense to income-minded investors.
Očekává se, že Colgate-Palmolive za čtvrtletí vykáže EPS ve výši 0,92 USD, meziročně o 1,1 % vyšší, a tržby ve výši 5,33 miliardy USD, což představuje růst o 3,9 %.
Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Colgate-Palmolive (CL - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 30. 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 consumer products maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.92 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1.1%.
Revenues are expected to be $5.33 billion, up 3.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.02% 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 Colgate-Palmolive?For Colgate-Palmolive, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.01%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Colgate-Palmolive will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Colgate-Palmolive would post earnings of $0.95 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.99, delivering a surprise of +4.21%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Colgate-Palmolive appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Akcie PepsiCo za poslední měsíc posílily o 8,3 %, ale společnost Zacks jim udělila hodnocení Zacks Rank č. 4 (Prodat) poté, co snížila odhady zisku pro aktuální čtvrtletí o 8,4 %.
PepsiCo (PEP - Free Report) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Shares of this food and beverage company have returned +8.3% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1.2% change. The Zacks Beverages - Soft drinks industry, to which PepsiCo belongs, has gained 7.1% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
For the current quarter, PepsiCo is expected to post earnings of $2.24 per share, indicating a change of -0.9% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -8.4% over the last 30 days.
The consensus earnings estimate of $8.42 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +3.4%. This estimate has changed -2.1% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $8.64 indicates a change of +2.6% from what PepsiCo is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -3.9%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for PepsiCo.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
For PepsiCo, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $30.41 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +3.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $99.3 billion and $101.68 billion estimates indicate +5.7% and +2.4% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryPepsiCo reported revenues of $25.27 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +5.6%. EPS of $2.34 for the same period compares with $2.29 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $24.88 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +1.59%. The EPS surprise was +2.18%.
The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
PepsiCo is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about PepsiCo. However, its Zacks Rank #4 does suggest that it may underperform the broader market in the near term.
Qualcomm ve 3. fiskálním čtvrtletí meziročně zvýšil tržby z automobilového segmentu o 61 % a očekává první tržby ze dvou zakázek od hyperscalerů ve čtvrtletí končícím v prosinci.
Wall Street still treats Qualcomm like a struggling handset maker, but a string of quiet wins in automotive, data centers, and hyperscaler silicon suggests the market has badly mispriced what this company is becoming.
The 24/7 Wall St. price target for Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM | QCOM Price Prediction) is $218.99. That means 24.7% upside from the current $175.66. Our model rates the stock a buy with high confidence.
24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary Metric Value Current Price $175.66 24/7 Wall St. Price Target $218.99 Upside/Downside 24.7% Recommendation BUY Confidence Level 90% The market still prices Qualcomm like a handset supplier in a down cycle, even as its AI business builds in the background.
In fiscal Q3, automotive revenue rose 61% year over year. Two hyperscaler custom silicon wins start producing revenue in the December quarter, and management now targets $40B in non-handset revenue by fiscal 2029.
On our forward EPS estimate of $9.8028, shares trade at about 18x. That multiple gives Qualcomm little credit for the shift.
Handset Slump Masks a 61% Automotive Surge Qualcomm is up 0.71% over the past week, down 1.16% over the past month, and up 4.32% year to date. Shares sit 31.8% below the 52-week high of $257.56 and 45.3% above the low of $120.88.
Fiscal Q3 revenue of $9.95B beat the $9.67B estimate. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $2.21, just missing expectations of $2.22. Handsets fell 20%, while IoT grew 9%.
Since that report, Qualcomm has announced a multi-generational AI data center collaboration with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), renewed its global patent license with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and won a trial verdict on October 13. CNBC reported Qualcomm plans performance-focused job cuts worldwide.
Why Bulls See $238 and Beyond Our bull case reaches $238.29. Data center is the main swing factor. Management projects $5 billion in data center revenue in fiscal 2027 and $15 billion by fiscal 2029. HBC Gen 1 has completed tape-out, and the first solution is targeted for mid-2027.
In automotive, Qualcomm expects an annualized run rate of about $7 billion ending fiscal 2026. It also won BMW’s lead compute role for ADAS and digital cockpit.
CEO Cristiano Amon expects non-handset growth to accelerate “from 24% in fiscal 2026 to greater than 60% in fiscal 2027.” Among Wall Street analysts, 2 rate the stock a strong buy and 9 rate it a buy.
Apple Step-Down and Memory Costs Could Cap Gains The bear case stands at $185.93. The CFO expects Apple product revenue to fall about 50% from the September quarter to the December quarter.
He also put the EPS hit from Android weakness at greater than $1.50. Higher memory and wafer costs helped drive operating income down 41.13%, and early custom-chip revenue could reduce QCT gross margin by one and a half to 2%.
Analysts reflect the caution: 23 rate the stock a hold. There are offsets. Management is pushing through double-digit price increases to restore margins, and the stock still offers a 6.92% free cash flow yield.
Qualcomm Trades Like Broadcom Without Broadcom’s Growth Yet Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) leads the hyperscaler custom ASIC market Qualcomm is now entering. It trades at nearly the same forward multiple while growing quarterly revenue 85.5%.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the benchmark for AI inference, and its forward multiple stands at a clear premium.
On consensus numbers, Qualcomm already trades near Broadcom’s multiple, so the comparison works only if data center revenue grows as planned. If it does, the peer group makes our target look reasonable and potentially conservative.
Company Forward P/E Quarterly Revenue Growth YoY Qualcomm 20x -4% Broadcom 19x 85.5% NVIDIA 25x 105.9% December Quarter Data Center Revenue Tips the Scale The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $218.99 carries a buy rating at 90% confidence. I’d find the upside compelling if hyperscaler revenue shows up on schedule and the price increases lift margins.
I’d be more conservative if the Apple decline exceeds non-handset growth in fiscal 2027. For now, the data center growth is the key variable to monitor.
Looking further out, here is where our model projects Qualcomm could trade, assuming current growth trends and market conditions hold.
Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target 2026 $182.69 2027 $218.99 2028 $259.18 2029 $283.19 2030 $316.37 The projections depend on Qualcomm continuing to execute its diversification plan. Results could land well above or below them depending on how quickly the data center business grows and how handset demand holds up.

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. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
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 Chevron?For Chevron, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +2.69%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.
So, this combination indicates that Chevron will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Chevron would post earnings of $5.8 per share when it actually produced earnings of $6.06, delivering a surprise of +4.48%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Chevron appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Ropa WTI za posledních 24 hodin vzrostla o 2,86 % na pětiměsíční maximum 102,32 USD za barel; akcie společnosti Norwegian Cruise Line klesly o 6 %, zatímco akcie společností Royal Caribbean a Carnival o 4 %.
Surging oil prices are hammering cruise stocks at the worst possible moment, and one major operator carrying $15 billion in debt and a CEO who admitted the company's problems are largely self-inflicted may be running out of room to absorb…
Oil’s run to a five-month high is landing hardest on cruise operators, whose ships burn fuel that ranks among their largest operating costs. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH | NCLH Price Prediction) stock is off by 6%, trading at $14.67. That’s the biggest loss among the major U.S. cruise lines and a fresh blow to Norwegian shares, which are now down 33% year to date (YTD).
Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:RCL) stock is at $275.17, down 4%, marking a smaller slide than Norwegian’s. Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) shares are down 4% to $25.92, matching Royal Caribbean’s decline. With a market value of $6.74 billion, Norwegian stock trails either rival by a wide margin.
Energy producers are trading in the opposite direction. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLE) is up 2% to $68.90, lifting its gain to 57% YTD. That’s important because energy-market dynamics can have a direct impact on cruise stocks.
Broader stocks are lower, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) down 0.6% to $759.69. So, what’s weighing on cruise stocks now?
Iran Tensions Send Crude to a Five-Month High Crude oil reached a five-month high on concerns that the U.S. conflict with Iran could flare up again. The WTI crude oil price stands at $102.32 per barrel, up 2.86% over the past 24 hours. That level lifts the fuel bill that cruise operators pay to run their ships.
Fuel is one of the largest operating costs for Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival, so higher oil prices weigh on all three at once. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported in May that the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent Brent to a high of $138 per barrel on April 7. At the pump, regular gasoline averaged $4.28 a gallon nationally as of October 19.
Norwegian’s Turnaround Meets a Fuel Squeeze Norwegian entered this oil spike already under pressure. In Q2 2026, the company’s fuel price per metric ton net of hedges rose to $888 from $659 a year earlier. Management also lowered full-year guidance at the time, cutting its adjusted EPS outlook to approximately $1.50.
A biggest balance sheet adds to the strain at Norwegian, where net leverage stood at 5.3x on $15 billion of total debt in Q2. Demand is the bigger worry at Norwegian, with Q3 2026 net yield guided down 8.9% in constant currency. John Chidsey, CEO at the time of the July 30 earnings call, stated that “the vast majority of our problems are self-inflicted.”
Cost cuts give Norwegian some relief. The company’s second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.48 topped the $0.34 estimate. Executives identified another $100 million in annualized savings on top of $125 million announced previously.
Top-line growth adds a bright spot for Norwegian. Revenue at Norwegian rose 4.9% year over year to $2.64 billion in Q2, driven by added capacity days. That mix of solid execution and rising fuel bills leaves the case for Norwegian shares balanced between genuine progress and fresh risk.
Norwegian’s Third-Quarter Report Puts Fuel Costs to the Test Royal Caribbean and Norwegian report third-quarter results next week. Norwegian’s report could show whether its cost outlook holds up against higher fuel prices. The open variable for the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF is the durability of crude’s rally, since the fund’s gains rest on the same move that’s hurting cruise stocks.
Riding this crude rally without a plan for the exit is the risk, and we laid out both sides, how to profit while it runs and when to step away, in a free handbook here: The Bubble Survivor’s Handbook.
This setup leaves Norwegian stock with the largest decline among the major cruise lines and a turnaround that management described in July as being in its “early stages.” Leadership expects newer savings initiatives to have limited impact on 2026 results, so investors weighing their exposure to NCLH stock need to scale their holdings carefully given Norwegian’s near-term dependence on demand and fuel trends.
