Key Takeaways META expects Q3 2025 revenues between $47.5B and $50.5B, up about 21.8% year over year.
Advertising revenues are estimated at $48.5B, fueled by strong AI-driven ad demand.Reality Labs' expected $5.58B loss could pressure margins despite Family of Apps growth.

Meta Platforms (META - Free Report) is set to report its third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 29.

META expects total revenues between $47.5 billion and $50.5 billion for the third quarter of 2025.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $49.43 billion, indicating an increase of 21.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings stands at $6.60 per share, up a couple of cents over the past 30 days, suggesting growth of 9.5% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Consensus Estimate Trend

Meta Platforms’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 20.47%. 

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Strong Advertising Growth to Aid META’s Q3 ResultsMETA is riding on strong advertising revenue growth prospects. Meta Platforms’ advertising revenues are expected to benefit from strong spending by advertisers as they leverage its growing AI prowess despite macroeconomic uncertainties. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2025 advertising revenues is currently pegged at $48.5 billion, suggesting 21.6% year-over-year growth.

Meta Platforms’ offerings — Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — currently reach more than three billion people daily. Their staggering reach and increasing ad impressions (up 11% year over year in the second quarter of 2025) make META one of the most important players in the digital ad sales market, apart from Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) . According to eMarketer, global ad spending is expected to rise 7.4% to reach $1.17 trillion in 2025, with Alphabet, Meta Platforms and Amazon accounting for roughly two-thirds of new ad spending.

META has been leveraging AI and machine learning to boost the potency of its social-media offerings, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and Threads. META is frequently introducing new features across its platforms to drive more conversation and user engagement. The company is using Meta AI (currently used by more than one billion people) to boost user experience.

However, rising expenses related to investments in developing more advanced models and AI services are expected to keep margins under pressure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Family of Apps’ operating income is pegged at $24.86 billion, indicating 14.1% year-over-year growth.

The Reality Labs business continues to burn cash, which doesn’t bode well for META’s third-quarter results. The consensus mark for Reality Labs’ loss is pegged at $5.58 billion, wider than the year-ago quarter’s loss of $4.43 billion.

META Shares Outperform Sector, Lag IndustryMETA shares have jumped 25.3% year to date (YTD), outperforming the Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s appreciation of 22.9%. Shares have underperformed Alphabet but outperformed Amazon and Snap (SNAP - Free Report) . YTD, Alphabet and Amazon shares have climbed up 34.7% and 0.4%, respectively, while Snap shares have declined 26.9%.

META Stock Outperforms Sector

Meta Platforms’ current valuation is stretched, as suggested by the Value Score of D.

In terms of the forward 12-month price/sales, META is trading at 8.35X, higher than the broader sector’s 6.88X, Snap’s 2.08X, Alphabet’s 8.31X and Amazon’s 3.07X.

META Leverages AI to Boost GrowthAI is heavily dependent on data, of which META has a trove, driven by its more than 3.48 billion daily users. Meta Platforms has been leveraging AI to improve the potency of its platform offerings, including Threads, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Facebook. Meta AI usage continues to increase, with roughly one billion monthly users globally.

META’s growing footprint among young adults, driven by improving recommendations, boosts its competitive prowess against the likes of Snap. AI usage is making it a popular name among advertisers. Meta Platforms’ focus on improving advertisers’ return on ad spending is noteworthy. Andromeda, its proprietary machine learning system, improves the performance of the company’s advertising system by delivering more personalized advertisements to viewers. The deployment of META’s deep neural network on the NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip has been a key catalyst.

Meta Platforms has been focusing on improving security across its platforms, which improves user engagement. META has introduced features and new anti-scam tools in WhatsApp to combat scammers. For Facebook, the company launched passkeys on Facebook for mobile devices, which now allows users to verify their identity and log in to their account more securely compared with traditional passwords.

The introduction of Teen Accounts has been a key catalyst in boosting security on Instagram. META has expanded Teen Accounts to Facebook and Messenger platforms. The company recently announced that Instagram Teen Accounts will be guided by PG-13 movie ratings by default.

ConclusionMETA’s use of AI across its platforms bodes well for its user engagement. This, along with an improved recommendation tool, continues to help advertisers in ad targeting, thereby driving top-line growth. Meta Platforms is spending heavily on expanding AI infrastructure, which bodes well for future prospects. These positive factors justify a premium valuation.

Meta Platforms currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which implies that investors should start accumulating the stock right now. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Key Takeaways CoStar Group expects Q3 2025 revenues of $800-$805M, up 16% year over year at the mid-point.Robust gains in Apartments.com, LoopNet and Homes.com likely supported top-line expansion.Matterport's $40M revenue contribution is set to enhance CSGP's digital marketplace offerings.

CoStar Group (CSGP - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2025 earnings on Oct. 28.

For the third quarter of 2025, the company expects revenues between $800 million and $805 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 16% at the mid-point.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $826.06 million, suggesting growth of 19.27% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.

The consensus mark for earnings has remained unchanged at 18 cents per share in the past 30 days, suggesting an 18.18% decline from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

CoStar Group’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 26.10%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for CSGP prior to the announcement.

Factors to NoteCoStar Group’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a robust portfolio of marketplaces, including Apartments.com, LoopNet and Homes.com.

The growing momentum in Apartments.com, driven by increased traffic and higher advertising spending, is likely to have aided CoStar’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. CSGP has seen robust revenue growth across its major platform, Apartments.com, and expects to maintain strong performance, with projected revenue growth of 11% to 12% in the third quarter of 2025. In the to-be-reported quarter, Residential revenue is expected to increase in the range of $3 million to $4 million sequentially.

In the second quarter of 2025, CoStar Group sites reached 141 million average monthly unique visitors, while the Homes.com Network attracted 111 million. This momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter as well.

The strengthening international segment and its highest net new bookings in nearly three years, driven by its revamped sales strategy focusing on broad subscription packages, are expected to have bolstered LoopNet’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. LoopNet’s revenue growth rate is anticipated to be between 10% and 11% in the third quarter.

However, challenging macroeconomic uncertainties and ongoing headwinds in the commercial real estate market are expected to have affected revenue growth.

Acquisitions Boost CSGP’s Q3 ProspectsCoStar Group’s growth trajectory is likely to have been fueled by its consistent acquisition strategy. The company’s acquisition of Matterport represents a move toward integrating Matterport’s 3D capture technology into its real estate marketplaces, thereby enhancing CoStar Group’s offerings and capitalizing on the growing demand for virtual real estate experiences.

In the third quarter of 2025, Matterport is expected to contribute approximately $40 million in revenues, despite the discontinuation of certain non-core revenue streams.

CoStar Group plans to use its large sales team to market Matterport’s digital twin solutions more effectively. It will focus on business-to-business opportunities and increase the use of its high-quality Pro 3 camera. This integration is expected to improve the value of CoStar Group’s marketplaces and information platforms in the to-be-reported quarter.

What Our Model SaysPer the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here.

Logitech International S.A. NASDAQ: LOGI stock is up 33% this year. That’s more than double the performance of the S&P 500, which is up about 13% year-to-date and the NASDAQ, which is up about 22.5% in 2025.

The company is part of the technology sector but is not an artificial intelligence (AI) play. For the unfamiliar, Logitech has a product portfolio of computer peripherals and video collaboration tools, including mice, keyboards, webcams, headsets, speakers, and remote controls.

Logitech reports earnings on Oct. 28, and the earnings report may come in better than expected. Citigroup recently upgraded LOGI stock from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $130, a 30% increase from the stock’s current price.

Innovation Is Driving Renewed Interest in Logitech
Logitech may sound like a boring business, particularly when compared to some of the names that have shown stock price growth more than double that of LOGI stock. However, Logitech is known for innovation. That innovation has been on display in October in two separate announcements.

First, TIME named the company’s Logitech Spot a Best Invention of 2025. Spot is a wireless environmental office sensor that detects and provides feedback on how many rooms are occupied and automatically books and releases rooms.

The device can also detect environmental conditions such as air quality and energy usage. It's part of the company’s mission to help companies measure unseen factors that can reduce employee performance and increase real estate costs.

Logitech also launched Muse, a digital pencil for Apple Vision Pro. The device only started selling on Oct. 22, so investors won’t know the impact it will have on revenue and earnings for another quarter or two. However, they should expect to hear the company’s expectations when they report.

New, innovative products are great, but there are more fundamental reasons for Citigroup to be bullish on Logitech.

The firm sees an improving environment for the company’s computer accessories.

That includes increased efforts to bring workers back to the office. But when they are at home, Citigroup notes that many people are still attached to their screens; they’re only doing so for gaming purposes.

The bullish outlook is bolstered by recent PC shipment data that was bullish and an uptick in video conference equipment orders.

Logitech products will be ancillary to these sales and will likely be reflected in the coming quarters.

Deft Management of Tariff Concerns Supports Margins
Although Logitech designs its products in Switzerland and the United States, most of its manufacturing is outsourced to China and other Southeast Asian countries, which has placed it at the center of tariff concerns.

However, as it did in 2018 and 2019, the company has managed to mitigate the impact of those tariffs with strategic price increases and its ability to diversify its global manufacturing footprint.

In its most recent quarter, Logitech reported reducing the share of its products originating in China from 40% to 10%. It’s also important to note that about two-thirds of the company’s sales are outside the United States.

That said, valuation may be a slight concern. LOGI stock is trading at around 26x forward earnings, a premium to its historical averages. For that premium, investors would like to see more earnings growth than the 3% that’s currently forecast. That’s something to watch for when the company reports earnings.

LOGI Stock Is Consolidating Before Earnings
Logitech stock is trading above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and has been in a sustained uptrend since the April 2 “Liberation Day” tariff announcement. That said, the stock is now consolidating its gains around the recent high made in September.

This could be a healthy pause for investors before the company’s earnings report. The 50-day SMA has served as firm support over the past few months. The momentum should be positive as long as the stock stays above that level, with further upside possible.

The risk to the stock’s momentum is if the economy slows down more than expected, which could change market sentiment. However, right now the bias is to the upside, and with analysts like Citigroup setting bullish targets, LOGI stock is setting up as an opportunistic Buy into 2026.

The technology sector is riding on strong adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI. The ongoing digitalization wave, courtesy of the rapid deployment of AI and cloud computing, is driving the sector. This has fueled strong demand for high-bandwidth and low-latency networks (5G) as well as hardware chips and components (GPUs, AI accelerators, memory chips, and data center infrastructure).

These factors bode well for technology stocks, a number of which are set to report quarterly results over the next couple of weeks. We pick four technology stocks — Meta Platforms (META - Free Report) , Reddit (RDDT - Free Report) , InterDigital (IDCC - Free Report) and AMETEK (AME - Free Report) — well-poised to beat earnings estimates this season.

Technology Stocks Riding on AI Boom, InvestmentsRapid deployment of AI is boosting industrial automation with growing usage of the Internet of Things, robotics and automation. AI is helping in improving ad targeting and boost user engagement. Rising threat complexity is driving demand for cybersecurity software as well as tamper-proof blockchain technology. Although still in early stages, quantum computing has shown promise in solving complex problems in domains like drug discovery and logistics.

AI demand is escalating, and that has increased the need for data center capacity expansion. Leading cloud computing providers like Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta Platforms have multi-year investment plans to support greater cloud capacity and AI deployment. While Microsoft plans to spend $80 billion, Meta Platforms plans to spend $64-$72 billion on AI-related infrastructure development.

Massive investment in chips, particularly graphics processing units (GPUs), and customized accelerators is driving demand for semiconductors. Per the Semiconductor Industry Association data, semiconductor sales in August 2025 were $64.9 billion, up 21.7% year over year and 4.4% month over month. In July, sales were $62.1 billion, up 3.6% month over month.

Moreover, the PC segment witnessed growth in the third quarter of 2025. IDC estimates 75.8 million units were sold, up 9.4% year over year. In contrast, Gartner estimates shipments of 69 million units, up 8.2% year over year.

How to Pick Earnings Estimates Beating Stocks?Finding technology stocks with the potential to beat earnings estimates can be daunting. Our proprietary methodology, however, makes it fairly simple.

You could narrow down the list of choices by looking at stocks that have the combination of a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) and a positive Earnings ESP. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

 Earnings ESP is our proprietary methodology for determining stocks that have the best chances to surprise with their next earnings announcement. It is the percentage difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

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

Top BetsMenlo Park, CA-based Meta Platforms has an Earnings ESP of +3.37% and currently sports a Zacks Rank of 1. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Meta Platforms’ focus on integrating AI into its platforms — Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — is driving user engagement. This is expected to boost third-quarter 2025 ad revenues, which, per the Zacks Consensus Estimate, are expected at $48.5 billion, suggesting 21.6% year-over-year growth. The social-media giant is set to report third-quarter 2025 on Oct. 29, 2025.

San Francisco-based Reddit currently has an Earnings ESP of +20.17% and a Zacks Rank #1. The company is scheduled to report third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 30.

Reddit’s core search product boasts 70 million weekly users, while Reddit Answers, its AI-powered search tool, grew to 6 million users in the second quarter of 2025.

Wilmington, DE-based InterDigital is set to report third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 30. The company has an Earnings ESP of +17.32% and a Zacks Rank of 1.

InterDigital’s to-be-reported quarter results are expected to have benefited from strong licensing revenues driven by agreements with smartphone-makers Samsung, Apple, Oppo and Vivo. The company’s strong PC market footprint, thanks to a licensing deal with HP, is noteworthy. InterDigital expects existing contracts, including Samsung, to contribute between $136 million and $140 million to third-quarter 2025 recurring revenues.

Positive contributions from Paragon Medical, Bison Engineering, Virtek Vision, Navitar, Alphasense, Magnetrol International and Crank Software acquisitions are driving top-line performance.

For the third quarter of 2025, AMETEK expects overall sales to be up mid-single digits on a percentage basis year over year. Adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.72 -$1.76, indicating a year-over-year increase of 4-6%.

Google reported it achieved a major milestone in quantum computing earlier this week. The company says it ran an algorithm on its "Willow" quantum chip that is verifiable and 13,000 times faster than today's best supercomputers.

The company, with a market capitalization of $15.8 billion, is one of the largest integrated providers of products and services for individuals undergoing dialysis following chronic kidney failure. Its bottom line is anticipated to improve 19.3% over the next five years. FMS’ earnings beat estimates in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 7.6%.

Reasons Favoring FMS’s GrowthStrategic Acquisitions & Partnerships: Fresenius Medical is advancing its growth strategy through targeted acquisitions and collaborations. The company’s $30-per-share acquisition of NxStage Medical is projected to be earnings accretive within three years, generating annual pre-tax savings of $80–$100 million. Its 2025 plan also integrates Fresenius Health Partners, InterWell Health and Cricket Health to manage 270,000 kidney disease patients with $11 billion in associated medical costs. Moreover, Fresenius Medical expanded its home dialysis reach via a distribution partnership with JMS Co., Ltd. in Japan and renewed agreements with DaVita and Aetna to improve access to home hemodialysis and strengthen value-based care offerings.

Strong Global Foothold: Fresenius Medical has established a robust presence across North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America, driven by organic growth, strategic acquisitions and public-private partnerships that have expanded its dialysis services footprint. Recent moves include entering the Israeli market and acquiring an 85% stake in India’s Sandor Nephro Services, further strengthening its global network of 3,624 clinics serving over 308,000 patients. Despite pandemic-related challenges and revenue headwinds from divestitures, the company maintained steady momentum, with regions outside North America contributing positively and same-market treatment growth reaching 2.1% in the second quarter.

Strong Q2 Results: FMS exited the second quarter on a strong note, with its earnings and revenues surpassing their respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. Overall pricing momentum also supported growth in the Care Enablement segment. However, the effects of elevated mortality will likely continue to have a negative impact on sales.

Per management, during the first quarter, the FME25 transformation program continued its positive momentum, delivering EUR 58 million additional sustainable savings while related one-time costs, treated as special items, amounted to EUR 53 million. The company confirmed its full-year target of approximately EUR 180 million in additional annual savings, totaling EUR 1,050 million by the end of 2027.

A Factor That May Offset FMS’s GainsRising Costs & Business Optimization Hurt Short-Term Prospect: Fresenius Medical continues to grapple with labor market pressures, leading to a EUR 150–200 million rise in labor expenses despite early signs of stabilization, as the company invests further in its workforce. Inflation added another EUR 100–150 million in costs, mainly impacting supply chain and operational areas.

Treatment volumes declined year over year as of Dec. 31, 2024, largely due to divestitures under the Legacy Portfolio Optimization initiative, which reduced overall treatment activity. In the United States, the termination of lower-margin acute care contracts also contributed to a 0.2% drop in Same Market Treatment Growth, compounding the effect of divestitures, while foreign currency movements further weighed on financial performance.

Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 revenues is pegged at $23.4 billion, indicating 11.7% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at $2.17 per share, implying growth of 30.7% from the year-ago level.

Key PicksSome better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Masimo (MASI - Free Report) , Merit Medical System (MMSI - Free Report) and West Pharmaceutical Services (WST - Free Report) .

ITGR Revenues in DetailInteger Holdings registered revenues of $467.7 million in the third quarter, up 8.4% year over year. The figure topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.4%.

Organically, revenues increased 6.6%.

Robust sales from the majority of the product lines drove the company’s top line in the reported period.

Integer Holdings Segmental AnalysisInteger Holdings operates through three product lines — Cardio and Vascular (C&V); Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation (CRM&N) and Other Markets.

During the third quarter of 2025, management began referring to ITGR’s Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product line as the Other Markets product line. This was aimed at better capturing the evolving nature of the company’s products and ongoing strategic focus. Per management, the name change has no impact on the financial information previously reported.

Revenues of the C&V business totaled $277.1 million, up 14.9% from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis and up 8.5% organically. Strong growth in the segment was driven by new product ramps in electrophysiology, Precision Coating and VSi Parylene acquisitions and strong customer demand in neurovascular. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $261.9 million.

Revenues of the CRM&N business were $169.2 million, up 2.5% year over year on a reported as well as on an organic basis. The solid year-over-year performance was driven by strong growth in emerging Neuromodulation customers with premarket approval products and normalized CRM growth. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $173.8 million for the product line.

Integer Holdings’ Other Markets revenues amounted to $21.4 million, down 15.5% year over year on a reported basis, but up 27.5% on an organic basis. Per management, this resulted from the execution of the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $26.7 million for Other Markets revenues.

ITGR’s Margin AnalysisInteger Holdings generated a gross profit of $126.2 million in the third quarter, up 8.2% year over year. The gross margin in the reported quarter contracted 10 basis points (bps) to 26.9%. We had projected 28.4% of gross margin for the third quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $50.5 million, up 12.6% year over year. Research, development and engineering costs were $10.9 million in the quarter, down 8.2% year over year. Total operating expenses of $69.7 million increased 19.1% year over year.

Adjusted operating profit totaled $85.9 million, reflecting a 13.5% uptick from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating margin in the third quarter expanded 80 bps to 18.3%.

Integer Holdings’ Financial PositionInteger Holdings exited the third quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $58.9 million compared with $23.1 million at the second-quarter end. Total debt (including the current portion) at the end of third-quarter 2025 was $1.19 billion compared with $1.24 billion at the second-quarter end.

Cumulative net cash flow from operating activities at the end of third-quarter 2025 was $140.7 million compared with $141.9 million a year ago.

ITGR’s 2025 GuidanceInteger Holdings has updated its financial outlook for 2025.

For 2025, the company now expects revenues between $1,840 million and $1,854 million (implying an improvement of 7-8% from the 2024 reported figure). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.87 billion.

The company now expects full-year adjusted EPS in the band of $6.29-$6.43 (indicating a rise of 19-21% from the 2024 reported figure). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $6.38.

Our TakeInteger Holdings exited the third quarter of 2025 with strong results. The strong year-over-year top-line and bottom-line performances were impressive. Strength in the majority of the product lines was encouraging. However, Integer Holdings’ strong quarterly execution was overshadowed by investor concerns about its outlook for 2026, which sent the stock tumbling more than 30% yesterday. While the company delivered solid sales growth and healthy profit expansion this quarter, management’s guidance for next year signaled a pause in momentum, projecting revenue growth between a 2% decline and a modest 2% increase. That cautious tone caught investors off guard, especially following several quarters of consistent double-digit gains.

Shares of ITGR have lost 44.2% so far this year compared with the industry’s 1.9% decline. The S&P 500 Index has increased 14.9% during the same time frame.

The sharp dip in Integer Holdings’ stock is likely about expectations, not performance. The company warned that 2026 could be a slower year as some customer programs and new product launches take longer to ramp up, but this looks like a short-term pause rather than a long-term issue. Management expects growth to bounce back in 2027 as those projects gain traction.

Key Takeaways Zacks Consensus Estimate for Q3 revenues is pegged at $3.01 billion, up 4.2% year over year.Q3 performance likely boosted by July's mega sale, CastleGate adoption and improved delivery speeds.Lowered logistics costs and disciplined spending are expected to support margins and profitability.

Wayfair (W - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 28.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Wayfair’s third-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.01 billion, indicating 4.2% year-over-year growth.

The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 46 cents per share, up by 3 cents over the past 30 days. JD reported earnings of 22 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

Wayfair beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the trailing four quarters, with an average negative surprise of 251.53%.

Key Factors to Note Ahead of Wayfair’s Q3 EarningsWayfair’s third quarter 2025 is expected to have been supported by sustained customer engagement, improving logistics efficiency and well-timed promotional activity. The company entered the quarter with strong momentum from the previous period, where revenue growth accelerated and operating income turned positive for the first time in several years. This operational turnaround, combined with a healthy cash position, is likely to have set a solid foundation for third-quarter performance.

Wayfair’s merchandising depth, growing adoption of CastleGate fulfilment and continued investment in delivery speed are expected to have enhanced customer satisfaction and repeat purchase behaviour during the to-be-reported quarter. The company’s mid-summer five-day mega sale in late July likely provided a meaningful boost to order volumes, site traffic and active customer reactivation, helping sustain top-line momentum through the quarter. Additionally, expanding private-label assortments and the ongoing rollout of its Wayfair Verified program may have strengthened product trust and conversion rates across categories.

Gross margin is expected to have benefited from lower logistics costs and an improved CastleGate mix, while disciplined marketing and operational spending likely preserved profitability. Wayfair’s upcoming physical store expansion, including its announced Denver location for 2026, is also expected to have reinforced brand visibility and consumer confidence.

Overall, the third quarter is expected to reflect steady revenue growth and operating leverage as Wayfair continues executing on its profitability playbook, balancing promotional intensity with efficiency gains to drive sustained, profitable growth momentum.

What Our Model SaysAccording to the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here.

Wayfair has an Earnings ESP of -0.47% and a Zacks Rank #2 at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

LFMD Investors with Losses Encouraged to Contact Hagens Berman Before Oct. 27th Deadline

, /PRNewswire/ -- A new federal securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against LifeMD (NASDAQ: LFMD), alleging that the telehealth company and its executives provided investors with a misleading picture of its financial health and growth prospects. The suit, filed in in the Eastern District of New York, comes after a dramatic stock price decline in August following the company's earnings report.

The firm urges investors in LifeMD who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.

LifeMD, Inc. (LFMD) Securities Class Action:

The lawsuit, captioned Johnston v. LifeMD, Inc., focuses on the period between May 7 and August 5, 2025. It alleges that LifeMD made false and misleading statements, particularly on May 6, 2025, when it reported its first-quarter results and raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. The complaint claims that the company's optimistic outlook, which cited a "category-defining competitive moat" in virtual obesity care and strong performance from its RexMD brand, was false as it misleadingly failed to account for crucial business challenges.

The suit contends that LifeMD was experiencing rising customer acquisition costs in its RexMD segment and a higher-than-anticipated refund rate in its weight management business, issues that it did not disclose to investors at the time.

The alleged deception unraveled on August 5, 2025, when LifeMD announced its second-quarter results, missing revenue and earnings per share estimates and subsequently slashing its full-year guidance. During the earnings call, management cited "temporary elevated customer acquisition costs" for its RexMD business and issues with patient refunds for its weight management offerings. The following day, LifeMD's stock price plummeted by over 44%.

For investors who suffered substantial losses during this period, the lawsuit represents an opportunity to recover damages.

Hagens Berman's Investigation

Hagens Berman, a national plaintiffs' rights firm, is investigating these claims.

"We're investigating whether LifeMD knew of but failed to disclose key operational problems," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.

That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.

However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.

Our proprietary system currently recommends Badger Meter (BMI - Free Report) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.

Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this manufacturer of products that measure gas and water flow a great growth pick right now.

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Badger Meter is 25.5%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 13.1% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of -1.1%.

Impressive Asset Utilization RatioAsset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric shows how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.

Right now, Badger Meter has an S/TA ratio of 0.99, which means that the company gets $0.99 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.78, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Badger Meter is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 11.6% this year versus the industry average of 1.8%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

The current-year earnings estimates for Badger Meter have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 1.9% over the past month.

Bottom LineBadger Meter has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination positions Badger Meter well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

Key Takeaways Mohawk's Q3 EPS of $2.67 missed estimates, but sales rose 1.4% YoY to $2.8B.Cost savings, new product lines and lower interest costs aided Q3 results despite weak volumes.MHK targets $110M in 2025 savings through restructuring and supply chain efficiencies.
Mohawk Industries, Inc. (MHK - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2025 results, with earnings falling slightly short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while net sales surpassed the same. On a year-over-year basis, the top line increased, while the bottom line declined.

Shares of this leading global flooring manufacturer declined 4.2% in yesterday’s after-hours trading session.

Mohawk has been facing weak housing demand, high input costs and trade-related challenges. Slower home sales and lingering inflation have hurt margins, while tariffs and supply chain shifts add complexity. Despite cost-saving measures, market volumes remain soft, keeping near-term performance under pressure.

Nonetheless, Mohawk’s growth is underpinned by a strong premium product mix, ongoing productivity gains and cost-saving initiatives that are expected to deliver about $110 million in annualized savings in 2025. Solid cash flow and share buybacks highlight financial discipline. Falling interest rates, rising home equity and pent-up housing demand should gradually lift home sales and remodeling activity, while a housing shortage and aging properties support long-term demand. Favorable tariff changes and lower freight costs also strengthen Mohawk’s U.S. manufacturing edge, positioning the company for sustained growth as the housing market recovers.

Inside MHK’s Q3 NumbersMohawk reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.67, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.68 by 0.4%. In the year-ago quarter, the company reported an adjusted EPS of $2.90.

Net sales of $2.8 billion beat the consensus estimate of $2.73 billion by 1.1% and net sales were up 1.4% year over year.  On an adjusted basis, net sales remained essentially flat year over year.

Adjusted gross margin contracted 90 basis points (bps) year over year to 25.3%. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, rose 60 bps to 17.9% from the year-ago period. Adjusted operating margin contracted 130 bps to 7.5% from 8.8% a year ago.

Mohawk’s Segmental DetailsGlobal Ceramic: Sales in the segment totaled $1.1 billion, up 4.4% year over year on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, sales were up 1.8% from the year-ago level to $1.08 billion.

 Adjusted operating income decreased to $89.8 million from $90.8 million a year ago. The segment’s adjusted operating margin contracted to 8.1% from 8.6% a year ago.

Flooring North America: Net sales of the segment amounted to $936.8 million, down 3.8% year over year on a reported basis.

The segment registered an adjusted operating profit of $67.9 million, down from $88.9 million reported in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating margin was 7.2%, down from 9.1% a year ago.

Flooring Rest of the World: Net sales in the segment increased 4.3% year over year on a reported basis to $716.4 million. On an adjusted basis, sales were down 0.9% from the year-ago level to $693.5 million.

Adjusted operating income was $59.3 million, down from $71.8 million reported a year ago. The segment’s adjusted operating margin was 8.3%, down from 10.5% in the year-ago period.

Financial Highlights of MHKAs of Sept. 27, 2025, Mohawk had cash and cash equivalents of $516.2 million compared with $424 million on Sept. 28, 2024. The long-term debt, less the current portion, was $1.74 billion compared with $1.72 billion at the end of third-quarter 2024.

At the end of the third quarter, the company generated free cash flow of $310.3 million compared with $204.2 million a year ago.

Focus on Operational Discipline Amid Market UncertaintyThe company is focusing on strengthening sales strategies, advancing product innovation and enhancing operational productivity to navigate ongoing industry challenges. Inflationary pressures and higher tariffs remain headwinds, and the timing of a recovery is still uncertain.

To support growth, Mohawk is targeting opportunities in new home construction and remodeling, which should help ease housing inflation pressures. Management is confident that declining global interest rates will gradually boost home sales and renovation activity. Leveraging its strong brands, diverse product portfolio and customer relationships, the company continues to expand across markets.

While pricing pressure stays high, Mohawk is enhancing its product mix through premium offerings, expanding commercial sales, optimizing its supply chain and increasing its focus on domestic manufacturing. Productivity initiatives are being implemented across operations to mitigate rising costs, and ongoing restructuring efforts are expected to generate approximately $110 million in savings this year.

MHK’s Q4 ViewMHK expects adjusted EPS in the range of $1.90-$2.00, excluding restructuring and other charges, compared with the year-ago figure of $1.95. The guidance does not reflect potential new tariffs, which are yet to be finalized.

MHK’s Zacks Rank & Recent Consumer Discretionary ReleasesMohawk currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2025 results, wherein earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and bottom lines increased on a year-over-year basis.

Hilton’s results were supported by its resilient business model, which delivered strong bottom-line performance despite softer RevPAR trends. Growth was driven by a robust development pipeline, increased construction starts and strong demand for brand conversions. Global expansion and sustained net unit growth momentum further reinforced Hilton’s performance and outlook confidence.

Hasbro, Inc. (HAS - Free Report) reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top line increased year over year, while the bottom line declined from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The downside was mainly due to weaker contributions from the Consumer Products segment.

Nonetheless, Hasbro raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. The update was supported by strong performance in the Wizards segment, along with steady contributions from the games portfolio, licensing partnerships and execution of the “Playing to Win” strategy. Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, Hasbro expects cost efficiency measures and business diversification to support its growth plans for 2025 and beyond.

Mattel, Inc. (MAT - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2025 results, with both earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and bottom lines also fell year over year from the prior-year quarter’s figure.

Mattel delivered a soft performance in the quarter, likely impacted by global trade dynamics, shifting retailer ordering patterns across the industry, and ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariff conditions. Key segments such as Barbie and Fisher-Price continued to face headwinds, resulting in lower gross billings. Despite these challenges, point-of-sale momentum remains positive both in the U.S. and international markets. Mattel has reiterated its full-year guidance for 2025.

Key Takeaways Ouster targets 30% to 50% annual revenue growth and stronger margins through software-led offerings.Innoviz expands ties with BMW, Volkswagen, and Mobileye to drive high-volume LiDAR production.Both stocks hold a Zacks Rank #3, but INVZ is viewed as the safer investment amid sector growth.
LiDAR technology holds strong long-term potential in the automotive sector, with initial adoption focused on premium vehicles and robotaxis. Its rising popularity is driven by its ability to provide accurate 3D mapping and object detection, complementing cameras and radar in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving applications. In this scenario, both Ouster, Inc. (OUST - Free Report) and Innoviz Technologies (INVZ - Free Report) are developing cutting-edge sensing solutions to position themselves as key industry players.

Ouster highlights its digital LiDAR sensors as among the highest-performing and most cost-effective in the market, with a pivotal role in the global shift toward autonomy. Meanwhile, Innoviz continues to make progress with its existing L3 and L4 programs, given the acceleration of robotaxi deployments across the globe. It has also introduced InnovizSMART, which brings its auto-grade LiDAR to industrial applications.

Yet, as an investment option, which stock is more attractive? Let’s closely look at the fundamentals of these stocks.

The Case for OUSTOuster is well-positioned to benefit from rising LiDAR adoption across automotive, industrial, robotics and smart infrastructure markets. Its 2023 merger with Velodyne expanded its digital LiDAR product lineup, broadened its customer base and set a goal of more than $75 million in annual cost synergies. Management is emphasizing software-attached solutions, product upgrades and a push toward profitability.

The company is shifting from hardware-focused sales to software-driven offerings like its Gemini perception platform and BlueCity analytics suite, aiming to build recurring revenue streams. Its upcoming Chronos chip is designed to lower costs and improve performance, supporting adoption across a $19 billion addressable market by 2030. Ouster targets 30-50% annual revenue growth and gross margins of 35-40%, supported by major deals across all verticals, including its largest software-attached contract in Europe and expanding partnerships such as with LASE PeCo.

Despite steady revenue growth and gross margin gains, Ouster remains unprofitable and expects continued cash burn through at least 2026. Manufacturing concentration and U.S. tariffs add risk, but with $171 million in cash and no debt, its balance sheet remains solid.

OUST shares have gained 170% year to date.

Factors to Consider for INVZInnoviz aims to be the world’s premier large-scale supplier of best-in-class LiDAR solutions for autonomous driving and beyond as it ramps production and continues to win new customers. The company’s strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as BMW, Volkswagen, and Mobileye strengthen its credibility and offer a tangible pathway to high-volume production.

It remains focused on ramping up InnovizTwo, developing the next-generation InnovizThree and securing additional design wins in the automotive and non-automotive segments.

It targets revenues to grow to $50 million to $60 million in 2025, banking on new programs (plans to add one to three), NREs and sales of LiDAR. 
Yet, Innoviz remains unprofitable and expects continued cash burn. However, it remains committed to managing expenses efficiently to improve the cash burn rate on an annualized basis.

Innoviz stated that its NRE payment plans are an important part of its financial model and help it offset its spending considerably. With the expansion in its NRE payment plan and 2026 production ramp-up, it has launched an at-the-market or ATM program of $75 million. It intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM for general business purposes, including activities such as R&D operations and production efforts.

INVZ shares have gained 17.2% year to date.

Estimates for OUST and INVZThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for OUST’s 2025 revenues and EPS implies a year-over-year increase of 24% and 29.8%, respectively. There has been no change in estimates in the past 60 days. OUST has a Growth Score of B.

On the other hand, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for INVZ’s 2025 revenues and EPS implies a year-over-year increase of 189.8% and 44.7%, respectively. There has been no change in estimates in the past 60 days. INVZ has a Growth Score of B.

Are OUST and INVZ Shares Expensive?Ouster is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-sales multiple of 9.73, above its median of 3.22 over the last three years. Innoviz is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-sales multiple of 2.63, above its median of 2.4 over the last three years.

ConclusionWith a broad product lineup, Ouster is well-positioned to strengthen margins and increase its potential for recurring revenues, benefiting from the long-term growth of LiDAR adoption. If it can sustain its growth trajectory, manage costs effectively and execute its transition to software-led solutions, Ouster could emerge as a key enabler in the evolution of automation and intelligent technologies
.
Innoviz Technologies stands tall in the automotive LiDAR and perception systems market, a sector supporting ADAS and fully autonomous driving.  The company noted that, over the past few months, there has been a tremendous acceleration of plans to deploy Level 4 robotaxis around the world. Innioviz, offering a mature, scalable, cost-effective LiDAR, is well poised to support the acceleration.

Though OUST and INVZ carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) each, INVZ appears as a safer bet.
