Market Signal Briefing

Insight Enterprises (NSIT - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.43 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.49 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.19 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -2.41%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this information technology provider would post earnings of $2.49 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.45, delivering a surprise of -1.61%.

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

Insight Enterprises, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Mail Order industry, posted revenues of $2 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.99%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.09 billion. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

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

Insight Enterprises shares have lost about 31.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 17.2%.

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

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

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

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

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.95 on $2.26 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $9.88 on $8.61 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $7.37 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

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

The Outlaws rally together for a $1 million home field upgrade, taking Friday nights — and community pride — to a whole new level

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The votes are in! After an electrifying run that included more than 8 million votes cast nationwide for the Top 25 finalists, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) named Dierks High School in Arkansas the Friday Night 5G Lights champion — a title that comes with a $1 million field upgrade.

In a microcosm of what makes small-town America special, the community of 900 rallied together to scrap, hustle and inspire people across the world to join its cause. After securing nearly 2 million votes, Dierks joins 2024 winner Inola, OK as proof that determination and hard work can catapult the biggest underdog to victory.

Now in its second year, Friday Night 5G Lights continues to celebrate community, connection and the unstoppable energy of small-town pride that high school football inspires. From kickoff to the final vote, this year’s competition went bigger, better and bolder, with more than 2,100 schools stepping up for their shot at the grand prize.

“This year took everything up a notch, with more schools, more votes and more heart,” said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. “We built America’s Best Network to reach communities like Dierks, and they proved what next-level connection looks like when everyone comes together for something bigger.”

The Spirit That Won It All

In Dierks — population just under 900 — football is a way of life. This tight-knit community of farmers, welders and small business owners have always packed the stands on Friday nights to cheer on the Outlaws. And this season, that hometown pride caught national attention thanks to students’ incredible push on social media, beginning with why they deserved the win along with highlighting their school spirit during pep rallies and home game celebrations.

They also brought some serious energy for Friday Night 5G Lights social challenges, like “Magenta Week” where Dierks High School students danced and the “Mannequin Challenge,” where even elementary students joined the action. And in a moment too adorable for words, Dierks kindergarteners told us all on Instagram what winning Friday Night 5G Lights means to them and the community.

The support poured in from every direction — the stands, the sidelines and across the state — turning this campaign into a true community movement that soon stretched well beyond Arkansas.

That wave of small-town spirit kept building as students used their growing online momentum to rally support from across the country, and it worked. Encouragement poured in from big names like Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, former NFL running back Darren McFadden, comedians Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy, NASCAR racer Austin Dillon, former NFL player and University of Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones and Miss Arkansas Kennedy Holland.

"Dierks High School showed up in a big way for this year's Friday Night 5G Lights contest," said Patrick Mahomes, three-time Super Bowl MVP and Friday Night 5G Lights ambassador. "The energy, the community, the spirit, that's what Friday Night Lights is all about. I can't wait to see their well-earned field upgrade!"

On average, supporters cast their votes for Dierks five times each, a testament to the dedication and heart this small town poured into every click, share and challenge.

A Win Worth a Million

For more than 20 years, the Outlaws’ stadium has gone without any upgrades, but that’s all about to change.

As this year’s grand prize winner, Dierks will receive a major stadium transformation valued at $1 million along with a Gronk Fitness weight room renovation, consultation with stadium experience experts, an all-expenses-paid trip to the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 6 for 16 school representatives and a tailgate party revealing the finalized upgrades in 2026 — all designed to give the Outlaws’ home field a high-tech glow to match their grit.

“The Outlaws brought their A-game and hustled their way to the top with their unbelievable determination and passion these past few weeks,” said Rob Gronkowski, four-time Super Bowl Champion and Friday Night 5G Lights ambassador. “They showed up big time and now they’ll have the stadium they deserve.”

“I think what makes this win so special is how seen our community feels,” said Paul Ernest, Head Football Coach, Dierks High School. “In a small town, kids sometimes hear it’s time to give up those big dreams. But this win from T-Mobile tells them the opposite — it says it’s okay to keep dreaming, to keep fighting for those astronaut and rock star moments. And that’s a beautiful thing.”

This season, T-Mobile amped things up with the Team Magenta Fan Favorite, a brand-new award where employees picked one school that stood out for its creativity and community pride. The Wildcats of Harrisonville High School in Missouri earned the inaugural title, earning an extra $25,000 for a total of $50,000 as a Top 25 finalist.

Small Towns, Big Spirit Across the Nation

While Dierks took home the grand prize, the race came down to the wire — with Lebanon High School in Oregon neck and neck with Dierks until the very end, rallying its community with nearly 1.5 million votes and magenta pride that captured hearts nationwide, including Steelers wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and country artist Jessie Leigh.

Both communities turned out in full force, generating 3.4 million votes just between Dierks and Lebanon alone. It became a true horse race to the finish, showcasing the incredible spirit, determination and support that define small-town America. For their incredible effort, Lebanon High School will receive $100,000 as the runner-up, while Dexter Regional High School in Maine will take home $50,000 for its third-place finish after painting the town magenta and earning a shoutout from actor Patrick Dempsey.

Across all 25 finalist schools, Friday Night 5G Lights brought out incredible creativity and hometown passion, like Escambia High School’s “Gators” rallying fans with AI-powered videos and support from NFL legends like Emmitt Smith. Schools from coast to coast showcased their pride in big ways — Princeville’s “Magenta Machine” tractor became a symbol of community power, River Oaks turned local talent into a rally rap and Royalton High School lit up its stands in a stunning “Turn on the Lights” challenge.

In all, the Top 25 schools received over $1 million, helping fund upgrades, celebrations and future projects that will help empower their communities.

Raising the Bar for Small Towns Everywhere

As America’s Best Network, T-Mobile is making sure people have the best possible wireless experience, wherever they live. That commitment runs deep in small-town America, where connection powers both communication and community. Since 2021, T-Mobile has expanded 5G coverage by more than 500,000 square miles and opened over 600 new stores in rural areas, helping small towns build stronger, more connected futures.

Through programs like Hometown Grants and Project 10Million, T-Mobile continues expanding access and opportunity across all 50 states. With T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, T-Mobile Business Internet and T-Mobile Fiber, rural communities are getting fast, reliable broadband, while T-Satellite with Starlink keeps people in the most remote areas connected nearly everywhere they can see the sky.

With Friday Night 5G Lights, T-Mobile is showing that connection isn’t just about coverage — it’s about community, pride and the power of small towns coming together. Fans and schools can already register for updates and next year’s competition at FridayNight5GLights.com. Because Friday nights just keep getting bigger, better, and brighter.

Software stocks have been benefiting from the ongoing digitalization wave, along with the strong adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI. The growing proliferation of software-as-a-service (SaaS), the rapid migration to cloud platforms, the increasing demand for solutions that support a hybrid/flexible work model and the rising user penetration of online payment solutions are likely to have remained major tailwinds for software companies like CoreWeave (CRWV - Free Report) , BILL Holdings (BILL - Free Report) , Affirm Holdings (AFRM - Free Report) and Unity Software (U - Free Report) .

Factors That Favor Software StocksThe growing proliferation of AI-powered voice recognition, telemedicine, learning management, infrastructure monitoring and business spend management software is expected to have benefited industry players in the quarter under review. Enterprise workspace solutions, enterprise communication platforms and online education portals are likely to have continued contributing as well.

The spike in the adoption of cloud-based services, the increasing proliferation of IoT and AR/VR devices and the accelerated deployment of 5G are expected to have aided the performance of software stocks this earnings season. Strong momentum across enterprise collaboration software, remote desktop tools, natural language processing and time tracking tools may have hugely favored the software industry this earnings season.

Rising cyberattacks, including Distributed Denial of Service attacks and attacks using malware through Transport Layer Security and Secure Sockets Layer protocols, are redefining the cyber threat landscape. Enterprises are spending more on cloud-based security solutions. Moreover, the software-defined approach is increasingly getting preferred over legacy hardware-centric models due to the need for agility.

The increasing customer-centric approach is allowing end-users to perform all required actions with minimal intervention from software providers. The pay-as-you-go model helps Internet Software providers scale their offerings to the needs of different users. The subscription-based business model ensures recurring revenues for the industry participants. The affordability of the SaaS delivery model, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses, is another major driver.

How to Make the Right Choice?With the presence of several industry participants, finding the right software stocks with the potential to beat on earnings can be daunting. However, our proprietary methodology makes this task simple.

You could narrow down your choices by looking at stocks that have the perfect combination of two key elements — a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold).

Earnings ESP is our proprietary methodology for determining stocks that have the maximum chances of beating estimates in their next earnings announcement. It is the percentage difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Our research shows that for stocks with this favorable mix of ingredients, the odds of a positive earnings surprise are as high as 70%.

Top BetsCoreWeave is slated to report third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 10. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has an Earnings ESP of +15.66%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

For the third quarter, CRWV projects revenues to be between $1.26 billion and $1.3 billion, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.28 billion. The consensus mark for the bottom line stands at a loss of 39 cents per share.

Increasing demand for CoreWeave’s cloud software and infrastructure services amid rising AI infrastructure spending is likely to have driven the top-line performance in the third quarter. In the last reported quarter, CRWV’s revenues jumped 207% year over year, ending the quarter with a backlog of $30.1 billion.

The rapid rise of CoreWeave is driven by its ability to capitalize on the generative AI boom. Enterprise AI adoption is accelerating, driven by its strategic imperative. CoreWeave is viewed as a force multiplier, enabling this innovation and growth for both training and inference workloads. The company’s continued focus on scaling capacity and enhancing services is driving strong momentum against a supply-constrained market backdrop with better-than-anticipated sales performance.

BILL Holdings is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Nov. 6. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has an Earnings ESP of +0.85%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $390.6 million, which calls for a year-over-year increase of approximately 9%. The consensus mark for earnings stands at 51 cents per share, indicating a decline of 19.1% from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 63 cents.

BILL is benefiting from an expanding small and medium businesses (SMBs) clientele and a diversified business model. BILL is leveraging AI to make its solutions easier to use, more automated and predictive. It is also working on integrating generative AI into its solutions to enhance customer experience.

The company emphasized its leadership in automating financial operations for SMBs with innovations like embedded 1099 functionality and advanced payment solutions. BILL’s strong balance sheet and free cash flow-generating ability remain noteworthy.

Affirm Holdings is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Nov. 6. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 and has an Earnings ESP of +3.53%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $885 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 26.7%. The consensus mark for the bottom line stands at earnings per share (EPS) of 11 cents per share, suggesting a strong improvement from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 31 cents.

Affirm has achieved strong revenue growth in past quarters through diverse income streams, including merchant network fees, interest from loans and virtual card revenues. Growing active merchant numbers, improving gross merchandise value (GMV), and average balance of loans are driving merchant network revenues and interest income. The trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Key partnerships, like those with Apple Pay, Worldpay, Fiserv, Wayfair and Hotels.com, play a vital role in its expansion. Additionally, Affirm Holdings is aggressively scaling beyond U.S. borders, leveraging its partnerships. The company has already entered the U.K. market and is now preparing to expand into Western Europe. It also intends to relaunch in Australia. With access to more than 377,000 merchants, these expansions could open lucrative new growth corridors.

Unity Software is scheduled to report third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 5. The company currently has an Earnings ESP of +3.03% and a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $447.6 million indicates year-over-year growth of 0.2%. The consensus mark for bottom-line is pegged at earnings per share (EPS) of 17 cents, suggesting a robust improvement from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 31 cents per share.

Unity Software’s top line in the third quarter is likely to have been pressured by a few key factors. While the rollout of the AI-powered Unity Vector platform was a strategic success, its positive financial impact might not have been fully realized within the quarter. At the same time, the company expects declines in revenues from certain legacy ad products as resources have been increasingly shifted toward Vector. This internal product mix transition has created short-term revenue friction, offsetting some of the early gains from Vector’s stronger performance.

However, management had expected a stronger trajectory in the third quarter for several reasons. Stabilization is returning to non-network ad products, supported by product upgrades and AI integration. The Unity Ad Network now represents about half of ad revenues, and its faster growth is aiding more weight in overall results. Vector is delivering increasing value, with user acquisition quality and volume improving more than 15% sequentially in the second quarter. Together, these factors are projected to have supported mid-single-digit sequential growth in the ad segment for the third quarter.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Newport Beach, Calif., USA – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and Hoag, Orange County, California’s highest-ranked hospital, today announced a landmark 10-year strategic collaboration. The initiative will standardize and modernize patient monitoring across Hoag’s two acute care hospitals, including its expanded Sun Family Campus in Irvine, which in mid-2026 will add 155 inpatient beds. The solution, which delivers continuous monitoring, supports early intervention, patient-centered care and enables informed decision-making across hospital environments.

Hoag will adopt Philips’ Enterprise Monitoring as a Service (EMaaS) model and implement the company’s latest IntelliVue MX750 bedside and X3 transport patient monitors across its network. This will create a unified, patient-centered monitoring environment that supports clinical efficiency, data continuity and patient safety. The Philips Patient Information Center (PIC iX) central patient monitor system serves as the foundation of this ecosystem, integrating patient monitoring data, clinical decision support tools, early warning scores and advanced analytics to enable clinicians to make informed decisions for the right patient at the right time.

Clinicians gain continuous insights wherever the patient is, which reduces disruptions, improves safety and ensures a more personalized experience. It’s another way Hoag is bringing world-class, accessible care to our community right here in Orange County.”

The combination of the Philips MX750 and X3 creates a powerful, software-driven monitoring solution that lets clinicians instantly adjust monitoring levels, flexibly transforming any bed to meet a patient’s changing acuity care needs while supporting rapid response and continuity of care. Designed to be scalable, secure and interoperable, Philips’ systems integrate with Hoag’s electronic health record (EHR) platform, supporting efficient and coordinated patient care.

“This collaboration is a transformative milestone in our journey to designing care that truly revolves around the needs of both patients and clinicians,” said Julia Strandberg, Chief Business Leader, Connected Care, Philips. “By deploying integrated monitoring solutions across Hoag’s network that flex to patient acuity and care setting, we’re enabling a smarter, more responsive care environment – one that supports clinical excellence, reduces complexity and delivers insights where and when they matter most. Together, we’re building the infrastructure for care that’s connected, scalable and ready for the future.”

Yes. Thank you, Dave, and indeed, welcome to everybody, and we appreciate you all dialing in this busy morning for you. DSM-Firmenich delivered a solid 2% organic sales growth in the quarter against a high prior year comparison and that all in this current macroeconomic environment. The quarter started well in July, very much in line with previous quarters. But from August onwards, the macro environment began to shift. Sentiment changed driven by geopolitical tensions, tariffs and currency movements. And naturally, that made some of our customers a bit more cautious in their behavior, and we've seen reduced

Paramount is the latest company to join the bloodbath of layoffs this week. 

The entertainment giant began cutting around 1,000 workers on Wednesday, with twice that many pink slips expected in the days to come. In a memo to staff, new Paramount CEO David Ellison characterized the reductions, which will ultimately shrink the company by 10%, as a necessary step for the company’s long-term growth.

“In some areas, we are addressing redundancies that have emerged across the organization,” Ellison wrote in a memo obtained by The Guardian and other news outlets. “In others, we are phasing out roles that are no longer aligned with our evolving priorities and the new structure designed to strengthen our focus on growth.” 

Paramount-owned CBS News will reportedly see around 100 employees cut. Those layoffs were reportedly planned prior to the network’s decision to name Bari Weiss as its editor-in-chief, inviting the controversial media figure and anti-“woke” provocateur to reshape the network in her image.

The layoffs, while significant, weren’t totally unexpected. After Skydance’s $8.4 billion merger with Paramount was finalized over the summer, the company’s new leadership signaled that it planned to cut around $2 billion in costs by trimming its workforce. Last year, Paramount cut 15% of its U.S. workforce in the lead-up to the Skydance deal.

Paramount joins Amazon, UPS, Target, and General Motors, which have all announced major layoffs this week. On Tuesday, Amazon said that it would cut around 14,000 corporate jobs, citing investments in AI and quickly fulfilling CEO Andy Jassy’s own prophecy that the technology would reduce its need for human workers in the future.

Skydance’s empire growsLayoffs aren’t the only big move Paramount is making under Skydance’s banner. The company is already working on an offer to buy Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., which owns CNN, DC Studios, and HBO, among other major media properties. Skydance, which merged with Paramount in August, is led by David Ellison, the son of Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison.

By closing the Paramount deal, Skydance brought Paramount Pictures, Paramount+, CBS, CBS News, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Showtime, MTV, BET, and other entertainment brands under its wing. If the company succeeds in a bid to buy Warner Bros., it would also pick up Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Comics, Turner Classic Movies, New Line Cinema, the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, TBS, TNT, and a handful of theme parks. 

Paramount is doing some belt-tightening around its workforce, but the company’s new leadership is splashing out big in other areas. Under Ellison, Paramount swiftly announced a $7.7 billion deal to become the UFC’s streaming partner. The arrangement reportedly doubles what ESPN was paying for rights to air UFC matches.

Skydance is building its new media empire at breakneck speed, but its next deal might not come as quickly. Last week, Warner Bros. Discovery turned up its nose at a $60 billion offer from Paramount Skydance, opting to play the field instead. Any merger would interrupt the entertainment giant’s plans to split itself into two public companies—one for streaming and one for traditional TV—by next year. 

Skydance Paramount may have been rebuffed once, but the Ellison family’s closeness with Trump gives the company a strong angle on a deal. While regulatory hurdles often derail major mergers or cause them to stall out, a green light for a Warner Bros. deal would be almost assured under the Trump administration, which has been eager to reward loyalists and punish perceived enemies in the private sector.
