Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Goosehead Insurance (GSHD - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry.

This insurance company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 34.26%.

For the most recent quarter, Goosehead was expected to post earnings of $0.2 per share, but it reported $0.3 per share instead, representing a surprise of 50.00%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.54 per share, while it actually produced $0.64 per share, a surprise of 18.52%.

Price and EPS Surprise

Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Goosehead lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. 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.

Goosehead currently has an Earnings ESP of +0.96%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on July 22, 2026.

With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

A Dividend King is a company that has increased its dividend for at least 50 years in a row. There are currently only 57 that can wear this crown.

One of them is Kimberly-Clark (KMB +0.06%), the venerable company that makes tissues, paper towels, diapers, and other paper-based family-care products. It has increased its dividend for 54 straight years, making its stock a Dividend King. But it also pays out one of the highest yields among Dividend Kings -- 4.7% right now. The combination makes it one of the best, most reliable dividend stocks you can buy.

But the stock is not just a buy for its royal dividend -- it's also positioned to deliver some solid returns. Here's why.

Image source: Getty Images.

A strategic shift toward higher-margin products Kimberly-Clark stock is up about 11% year to date (with dividends reinvested), but its total returns are down about 10% over the past 12 months. Its long-term returns aren't great either, as it averaged a drop of 1% over the past five years and a total rise of only 1% over the past decade.

Its main utility for investors has been to provide excellent dividend income, and some downside protection when markets go south. But some recent developments could position the company to generate some decent returns.

Earlier this month, Kimberly-Clark struck a deal with pulp supplier Suzano (SUZ +0.24%) to form a new paper products company, Arbex. This benefits Kimberly-Clark by offloading its lower-margin paper-towel and tissue business, allowing it to focus on its higher-margin personal-care products. Kimberly-Clark also has a licensing agreement with Arbex to license its paper brands, so that will generate some licensing royalties.

A greater focus on absorbing its Kenvue acquisition More importantly, it frees up resources for Kimberly-Clark to integrate its pending acquisition of Kenvue (KVUE +0.16%).

Kenvue, which makes skincare products like Aveeno and consumer health products like Band-Aid, Tylenol, and Listerine (to name just a few), spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. Kimberly-Clark sees it as a complementary fit, creating a global health and wellness leader, and expects the combination to maximize each company's strengths and accelerate growth.

Kimberly-Clark anticipates approximately $1.9 billion in cost synergies and roughly $500 million in profit from revenue synergies, within three to four years of the deal closing. It also expects to spend about $2.5 billion to realize these benefits in the first two years.

Long live the Dividend King Analysts are generally bullish on the acquisition, with several raising their price targets for the stock in recent weeks. They have a median price target of $113 per share, suggesting 5% upside. Shares are also cheap, trading at 14 times earnings.

I think Kimberly-Clark is a buy for its dividend alone. But investors may also see the added benefit of solid long-term returns following the major shift from this 154-year-old company.

Exelixis (EXEL - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The earnings report might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. 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 drug developer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.86 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.7%.

Revenues are expected to be $635 million, up 11.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. 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 Exelixis?For Exelixis, 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 +6.31%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that Exelixis 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 Exelixis would post earnings of $0.75 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.87, delivering a surprise of +16.00%.

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.

Exelixis 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.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsNovoCure (NVCR - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, is expected to report loss per share of $0.3 for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +16.7%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $174.11 million, up 9.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for NovoCure has been revised 1.5% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +0.83%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that NovoCure will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR | ACHR Price Prediction) shares are trading higher in Monday morning action, up 14% to $5.06. The move follows a joint reveal by the company and privately held defense technology firm Anduril of an autonomous vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft platform at the Farnborough Airshow.

The pop lands into a rough tape. Archer stock entered Monday down 41% year to date (YTD), part of a broader pre-revenue eVTOL de-rating that has hit the entire cohort of listed operators hard.

Peers Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) and EHang Holdings (NASDAQ:EH) are quieter but still higher. Joby stock is up 2% to $7.41, while EHang stock is up 1% at $5.17. The news catalyst belongs to Archer alone, though.

Anduril Team-Up Unveils “Thunder” Autonomous VTOL Archer and Anduril presented a series hybrid-electric autonomous VTOL aircraft platform at Farnborough. Anduril debuted the defense variant, “Thunder,” a Group 5 autonomous attack rotorcraft designed to fly alongside crewed attack and assault aircraft. Group 5 is the Pentagon’s heaviest unmanned aircraft tier, the same weight class as major program-of-record platforms.

The dual-use design uses dual tiltrotors, offers runway-independent VTOL, and cruises efficiently on the wing. The teams have completed multiple full-scale surrogate test flights, with Thunder’s first flight targeted for 2027. Archer says it will announce its first commercial customers for the platform later this week.

Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein called Thunder a clean-sheet, first-principles design. In prior commentary tied to the program, Goldstein asserted, “I believe our hybrid aircraft is the most sophisticated vertical lift platform ever developed. It is not incremental, it is generational.”

The autonomy stack behind the aircraft leans on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR). Archer has integrated NVIDIA’s IGX Thor platform for onboard compute and autonomy-ready flight systems, while Palantir was down-selected as a finalist for the FAA’s SMART AI project covering air traffic control modernization. Starlink LEO connectivity rounds out the connectivity layer for the Midnight air taxi.

Archer’s Q1 2026 report framed the setup. The company posted revenue of $1.6 million and a net loss of $217.7 million, versus a $93.4 million loss a year earlier, with liquidity near $1.8 billion. Goldstein described Archer as a “multi-threat company” targeting air taxi launch, phased government awards, and AI software deployments later this year.

Archer’s Peers Move Slightly on the News Joby Aviation and EHang have their own defense and autonomy narratives, but no fresh catalyst hit either name on Monday. Joby holds a defense partnership with L3Harris Technologies and recently flew a hybrid turbine-electric autonomous VTOL demonstrator, with first passenger service in Dubai still planned for later this year.

Joby stock is down 45% YTD and EHang stock is down 62% YTD. EHang delivered only four EH216 units in Q1 2026 versus 66 in Q4 2025. None of the three companies are profitable on a trailing basis, and none carry meaningful trailing P/E ratios.

That framing keeps this trio in venture-style bet territory, where each ticker reprices on idiosyncratic news rather than as a coordinated basket. On Monday, Archer is the only one with a headline, and the price action reflects this.

What to Watch Now The near-term marker for Archer is the first commercial customer announcements for the Thunder platform expected later this week. Traders may want to watch for whether those disclosures come with firm order economics or read closer to letters of intent.

Beyond that, Archer is advancing Phase 4 compliance testing under the FAA’s Type Certification process and targeting the start of U.S. commercial air taxi operations later in 2026. Archer has also been named Official Air Taxi Provider of the LA28 Olympic Games and selected in three winning eIPP applications covering eight states, adding a run of visible milestones into the next 18 months.

Today’s move matters because it broadens Archer’s story from a piloted air taxi bet into a dual-use defense platform play, with a credible defense prime attached. It doesn’t fix the cash burn or the pre-revenue reality, and Thunder’s first flight is still a 2027 event. Investors evaluating their exposure here can size their positions accordingly, keeping ACHR stock in a smaller, more speculative portion of a portfolio and watching for whether Monday’s gain holds into the close.

Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein said the company is laser-focused on getting its air taxis certified and flying by the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

"It's always been an ambitious goal," he told CNBC's Phil LeBeau on Monday at the Farnborough Air Show in the U.K. "It's still an ambitious goal, but we're certainly going to try our hardest to get there."

Archer on Monday unveiled its Thunder autonomous vertical takeoff and landing defense craft with Anduril, designed to accompany crewed aircraft and helicopters. The companies first joined forces in 2024.

Shares rallied more than 20%.

Archer is widely known for creating electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft aimed at cutting emissions and traffic in crowded urban areas. However, the technology has faced a series of regulatory and infrastructure hurdles that have pushed back certification timelines.

In recent months, Archer and its peers have benefitted from President Donald Trump's latest eVTOL pilot program aimed at accelerating deployment, with testing across 26 states.

"This is really critical to gaining the trust of the public and the trust of the regulators that will ultimately lead to our certification," Goldstein told CNBC. "That step is going to be hugely critical in order to allow us to meet those timelines."

Goldstein called defense applications a "huge market" for Archer amid rising geopolitical tensions abroad. The aircraft also doesn't require the same certification process necessary for commercial use cases, he added.

"The applications we can bring in the defense world are quite impressive and very much needed for the warfighter," he said.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.

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

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

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

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

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

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

That's where the Style Scores come in.

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

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

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

Stock to Watch: CBOE Global (CBOE - Free Report) Based in Chicago, IL, and founded in 1973, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (effective Oct 17, 2017, CBOE Holdings, Inc. came to be known as Cboe Global Markets, Inc.) is one of the largest stock exchange operators by volume in the United States and a leading market globally for ETP trading.

CBOE is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Finance stock. CBOE has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 9.8% over the past four weeks.

Nine analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.47 to $13.56 per share. CBOE also boasts an average earnings surprise of +5.4%.

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

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL - Free Report) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.

A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.

Since a changing earnings picture is a powerful factor influencing near-term stock price movements, the Zacks rating system is very useful for individual investors. They may find it difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, as these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.

As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Jones Lang LaSalle is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.

Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.

Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Jones Lang LaSalle imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.

Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsAs empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.

The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Earnings Estimate Revisions for Jones Lang LaSalleThis financial and professional services company is expected to earn $22.83 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2026, which represents no year-over-year change.

Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Jones Lang LaSalle. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 4.9%.

Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of Jones Lang LaSalle to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SPCX 1.05%), more commonly referred to as just SpaceX, is easily the most valuable space stock in the world, with a market cap of $1.6 trillion. Many investors are willing to look past its high valuation due to expectations of significant growth in the years ahead.

But what might surprise you is that in the next couple of years, there's a space stock that analysts expect will actually grow at a faster rate than SpaceX, and that's AST SpaceMobile (ASTS +0.97%).

Image source: Getty Images.

AST SpaceMobile is much smaller but growing at an extremely fast rate Last year, SpaceX reported nearly $19 billion in revenue, while AST SpaceMobile generated just under $71 million. Unlike SpaceX, which has a broad business focused on rockets, artificial intelligence (AI), and telecom, AST SpaceMobile is focused on creating a global space-based broadband network.

Its scope is much smaller, but its growth is expected to pick up significantly. According to LSEG data, analysts expect AST SpaceMobile's revenue to reach nearly $2 billion by 2028, up from $166 million this year, which translates into a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 246%. SpaceX, by comparison, is expected to average a CAGR of nearly 69% over the next couple of years, with its revenue projected to total more than $103 billion in 2028.

Both stocks are expensive, risky buys AST SpaceMobile may be expected to rise at a far faster rate than SpaceX, but that doesn't necessarily make it a better buy. At a market cap of around $23 billion, investors are still paying a big premium for the business, as that valuation translates into a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of nearly 190. SpaceX, by comparison, trades at about 80 times revenue. While neither stock is cheap, SpaceX is more attractively valued based on its revenue.

The danger of investing in either one of these stocks is that they can be highly volatile and speculative, as their valuations depend more on future expectations than on what they have achieved thus far.

SpaceX has been struggling recently despite a strong rally out of the gate, and has now dipped below its IPO price. Shares of AST SpaceMobile are down about 20% thus far in 2026, as investors may be having second thoughts about its valuation. Both stocks, while they do have some promising upside, also have plenty of room to fall further. Investors should tread carefully with them.

Key Takeaways DPZ's Q2 EPS of $4.07 missed estimates, while revenues rose 4.3% YoY to $1.19B.DPZ's Q2 U.S. same-store sales rose 0.1% as supply chain revenues climbed to $731.7 million.Domino's added 209 stores, cut leverage to 4.3x and declared a $1.99 quarterly dividend. Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues beating the same. The top and bottom lines increased on a year-over-year basis.

The company reported meaningful second-quarter order growth across both delivery and carryout channels despite persistent consumer demand pressures in the broader U.S. quick-service restaurant industry. Sustained order expansion remains a central component of Domino’s long-term growth framework, supported by new customer acquisition, greater loyalty program participation, increased supply chain throughput and continued store development. The company also cited its scale and competitive positioning as structural advantages that could support additional market-share gains and long-term shareholder value creation.

DPZ's Q2 Earnings & RevenuesDomino's reported second-quarter 2026 earnings of $4.07 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.11 by 1%. However, the bottom line increased 6.8% from $3.81 reported in the year-ago quarter.

Quarterly revenues of $1.19 billion surpassed the consensus estimate of $1.17 billion by 2.1% and rose 4.3% year over year. Higher supply chain revenues, franchise royalties and advertising revenues supported growth, while U.S. same-store sales increased 0.1% year over year.

DPZ's Q2 Supply Chain Business Drives Revenue GrowthSupply chain revenues increased to $731.7 million from $687.1 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The improvement reflected higher-order volumes and a 2.2% increase in food basket pricing. Our estimate for the metric was $749.9 million.

In the second quarter, U.S. franchise royalties and fees rose to $164.2 million compared with $156.3 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $140.7 million.

International franchise royalties and fees advanced to $81.8 million from $77.2 million, supported by net store growth and a $1.1 million favorable foreign currency impact. Our estimate for the metric was $82.8 million.

U.S. franchise advertising revenues increased to $134.9 million from $132.2 million. Our estimate for the metric was $119.1 million.

Domino's Q2 Comparable Sales Show Uneven DemandGlobal retail sales increased 3% year over year, excluding foreign currency movements. U.S. retail sales rose 1.9%, while international retail sales increased 4.1% on a constant-currency basis.

Comparable sales trends were more subdued. U.S. same-store sales edged up 0.1% compared with 3.4% growth a year earlier. Company-owned store comps increased 2.1% year over year, while franchise store comps were flat. International same-store sales declined 0.1% against a 2.4% increase reported in the prior-year quarter.

Domino's Q2 Margin Performance Remains MixedIn the second quarter, Gross margin dollars came in at $478.2 million compared with $461 million reported in the prior-year quarter. However, gross margin as a percentage of revenues contracted 30 basis points year over year to 40%. Our estimate for the metric was 39%.

Supply chain gross margin expanded 20 basis points year over year to 12%, aided by procurement productivity. The benefit was partly offset by higher food basket costs. General and administrative expenses came in at $115.4 million compared with $107.6 million reported in the prior-year quarter.

DPZ Posts Higher Operating Income and Net ProfitIn the second quarter, income from operations increased 3.1% year over year to $232 million. Excluding the favorable currency impact on international franchise royalties, operating income rose 2.6%, driven by franchise royalty growth and higher supply chain gross profit. Our estimate for the metric was $242.1 million.

Net income advanced 3.6% year over year to $135.8 million. Results also benefited from a favorable $3.6 million change in pre-tax unrealized and realized losses tied to the company’s investment in DPC Dash.

DPZ Extends Its Global Store ExpansionDomino’s posted global net store growth of 209 during the quarter. The company added 26 net stores in the United States and 183 internationally, bringing its worldwide store count to 22,531.

The U.S. system ended the period with 7,231 locations, while the international network reached 15,300 stores. Over the trailing four quarters, net store growth totaled 995, including 170 domestic and 825 international additions.

Domino's Cash Flow Moderates in the First HalfNet cash provided by operating activities totaled $352.6 million during the first two quarters of 2026, down from $366.9 million in the comparable 2025 period. Capital expenditures increased to $39 million from $35.2 million reported in the prior-year period.

Free cash flow declined 5.5% year over year to $313.6 million. The decrease reflected changes in operating assets and liabilities, along with the timing and amount of advertising-related payments. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $164.8 million as of June 14, 2026.

DPZ Returns Capital While Lowering LeverageDomino’s repurchased 443,917 shares for $156.2 million during the quarter. The company had $1.23 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization at quarter-end.

The leverage ratio improved to 4.3 times from 4.7 times a year earlier. Following the quarter, the board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.99 per share, payable Sept. 30, 2026, to its shareholders of record as of Sept. 15.

DPZ’s Zacks RankDomino's currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Domino's Pizza (DPZ - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $4.07 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.11 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.81 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -0.97%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this pizza chain would post earnings of $4.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $4.13, delivering a surprise of -3.73%.

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

Domino's Pizza, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Restaurants industry, posted revenues of $1.19 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.07%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.15 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three 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.

Domino's Pizza shares have lost about 22.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.9%.

What's Next for Domino's Pizza?While Domino's Pizza 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 Domino's Pizza was unfavorable. 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 #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform 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 $4.31 on $1.2 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $18.88 on $5.16 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Retail - Restaurants is currently in the bottom 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Cheesecake Factory (CAKE - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 28.

This restaurant chain is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Cheesecake Factory's revenues are expected to be $996.23 million, up 4.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Contrarian Alert: 5 Downgraded Stocks That May Reward Long-Term InvestorsDomino's Pizza NASDAQ: DPZ executives said second-quarter U.S. demand remained strong in terms of order counts, but a weaker-than-expected ticket dragged on same-store sales as the company lapped last year’s Stuffed Crust Pizza launch.

On the company’s rescheduled second-quarter 2026 earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Russell Weiner said the company grew order counts “meaningfully” across both delivery and carryout, even as the broader quick-service restaurant industry faced pressure from macroeconomic uncertainty and heightened competition. However, he said same-store sales fell short of expectations because the company’s premium series and Slice Sauce promotion did not resonate with customers enough to offset the prior-year benefit from Stuffed Crust.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 06/22 - 06/26“The miss on ticket was largely within our control, which means we can and will address it moving forward,” Weiner said.

Leadership Transition Announced The call also featured comments from Joe Jordan, Domino’s incoming CEO. Weiner said the board unanimously elected Jordan, who has spent 15 years with the company and most recently served as chief operating officer. Jordan is expected to become CEO in October, while Weiner said he will transition to executive chairman next year.

Domino's Stock Slides to 52-Week Low as Investors Digest CEO ChangeJordan said Domino’s priorities remain focused on serving customers with food, value and experience, supporting franchisees and executing with discipline to drive long-term growth.

“We have an exceptional global franchise system, talented people, a culture of innovation and operational excellence, and a brand that continues to earn the trust of customers every day,” Jordan said.

Second-Quarter Sales Lifted by Store Growth, Pressured by Ticket Chief Financial Officer Sandeep Reddy said income from operations increased 2.6% in the second quarter, excluding foreign currency impacts and refranchising gains from the sale of certain U.S. company-owned store markets in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher U.S. and international franchise royalties and fees, along with supply chain gross margin dollar growth tied to U.S. order count growth. Those gains were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses related to the company’s biennial worldwide rally.

Global retail sales rose 3% excluding foreign currency, supported by nearly 1,000 net new stores over the past 12 months. U.S. retail sales increased 1.9%, driven primarily by net store growth, including 26 net new U.S. stores during the quarter. U.S. same-store sales rose 0.1%, with carryout comps up 1.1% and delivery comps down 0.7%. Pricing was up 0.2%.

Reddy said the U.S. comp reflected strong order count growth in the core business and continued growth through aggregator channels, offset by lower average ticket. The company said it believes QSR industry order counts were flat during the quarter, while Domino’s grew orders in total and separately in delivery and carryout.

Weiner said the company’s order count growth is central to its strategy because orders bring customers into its loyalty program and support the company’s supply chain business. He said Domino’s has more than doubled U.S. system orders since he joined the company at the end of 2008, contributing to market share gains, additional retail sales, net new stores and higher franchisee store-level EBITDA.

Aggregator Business and Product Innovation in Focus Executives highlighted continued growth on third-party delivery platforms. Weiner said Domino’s believes it is now the No. 1 pizza company on both Uber and DoorDash, while still seeing “a significant amount of growth ahead” to reach what it views as fair share on those platforms.

In response to an analyst question, Weiner said Domino’s prices at a premium on aggregators and aims to be profit neutral for franchisees. Reddy added that the company is being deliberate in pursuing aggregator growth to protect profitability, calling the channel “one more lever” to drive franchisee profitability.

Weiner also discussed the company’s “orchestration agent,” a back-of-house technology designed to time pizza production so orders are hotter when handed to delivery drivers or customers. He said the system applies to orders placed through Domino’s own channels as well as aggregators.

Domino’s is also preparing to launch a new pizza product later in the third quarter. Weiner said the product is intended to address an unmet consumer need and hit an occasion that the pizza category does not serve well today. He described it as “unlike anything we’ve offered before at Domino’s” and said customer testing showed it was one of the best-tasting products the company has tested.

The company has already changed its third-quarter promotional calendar, including adding Stuffed Crust to its Best Deal Ever promotion. Weiner said customer reaction indicated the change was the right move.

International Results Mixed International retail sales grew 4.1% excluding foreign currency, primarily due to net store growth over the past year, including 183 net new international stores in the quarter. International same-store sales declined 0.1%.

Reddy said international comps continued to be affected by Domino’s Pizza Enterprises, which remains focused on turning around its business, as well as macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty across global markets. Weiner said Domino’s is looking forward to working with Andrew Gregory, the incoming CEO of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises, and noted that China and India have continued to be standouts over time.

Guidance and Capital Allocation Domino’s maintained its expectation for U.S. same-store sales to increase in the low single digits for 2026, excluding the impact of a 53rd week. The company also continues to expect international same-store sales growth in the low single digits, including the benefit of the recently concluded World Cup soccer tournament.

The company adjusted its U.S. net store outlook to approximately 175 stores from its prior expectation of 175-plus, citing some pressure on the pipeline from macro conditions and a challenging start to the year that affected franchisee profitability. Domino’s continues to expect approximately 800 net new international stores and mid-single-digit global retail sales growth for the year.

Domino’s also maintained its expectation for mid- to high-single-digit operating income growth, excluding foreign currency, refranchising gains and the gain on the sale of its corporate aircraft.

Through the second quarter, Domino’s repurchased about 632,000 shares for $231 million year to date. Reddy said the company had approximately $1.23 billion remaining on its share repurchase authorization at quarter end and continues to expect to return meaningful cash to shareholders in 2026 and beyond.

Key Takeaways NVR is expected to post lower earnings and revenues amid a softer housing market.NVR's homebuilding business is likely to have faced pressure as affordability challenges curb buyer demand.NVR is expected to see modest improvement in orders and backlog despite settlement and margin pressure. NVR, Inc. (NVR - Free Report) is expected to report lower earnings in the second quarter of 2026. Homebuilding revenues are also likely to have decreased on a year-over-year basis, given soft demand and margin headwinds.

In the last reported quarter, earnings and homebuilding revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13.4% and 7.9%, respectively. Also, both metrics declined on a year-over-year basis by 29% and 22%.

The company’s earnings beat the consensus mark in three of the last four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 2.5%.

How Are Estimates Placed for NVR Stock?The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s EPS has increased to $95.80 from $95.20 in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 11.74% decrease from the year-ago EPS of $108.54.

The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $2.41 billion, indicating a decrease of 5.6% from the year-ago reported figure of $2.55 billion.

Factors Likely to Shape NVR’s Q2 ResultsNVR's second-quarter Homebuilding revenues are expected to have remained under pressure as elevated mortgage rates and higher homeownership costs are likely to have continued to limit affordability across many markets. Affordability challenges, coupled with cautious consumer sentiment, are expected to have delayed purchase decisions and moderated buyer demand during the quarter. The company is also likely to have maintained elevated sales incentives to support demand amid the challenging housing environment.

Our model predicts Homebuilding revenues (which accounted for 97.8% of total revenues in 2025) to decline 5.5% year over year to $2.41 billion in the to-be-reported quarter. For the quarter to be reported, we anticipate total settlements to decrease 6.7% to 5,107 units on a year-over-year basis.

The company's bottom line is expected to have decreased year over year in the quarter as elevated sales incentives are likely to have weighed on profitability. At the same time, higher lot, labor and building materials costs are expected to have increased construction expenses, creating additional pressure on homebuilding margins. We expect the homebuilding gross margin to be 18.3%, down 320 basis points year over year.

Our model predicts total new orders to increase slightly by 0.8% year over year to 5,421 units. The backlog is currently pegged at 10,484 units, which indicates an increase from 10,069 units reported a year ago. We expect the value of the backlog to be $4.77 billion, implying a slight increase from $4.75 billion in the corresponding year-ago quarter.

Tempus AI (NASDAQ:TEM) will acquire Personalis (NASDAQ:PNSL) in a stock deal valued at $1.5 billion, expanding its reach in the market for tests that monitor cancer recurrence after treatment.

Personalis shareholders will receive $16.25 per share, a 6% premium to Friday's closing price and a 28% premium to the unaffected 30-day volume-weighted average price.

The deal is structured as an all-stock transaction, though Tempus has the option to pay up to 50% of the consideration in cash, with a maximum exchange ratio of 0.3356 Tempus shares for each Personalis share.

Shares of Tempus fell more than 8% Monday, while Personalis dropped 11.5%.

The acquisition builds on a partnership the companies established in November 2023, when Tempus invested in Personalis and began commercializing its NeXT Personal minimal residual disease (MRD) test.

Personalis' technology, which tracks circulating tumor DNA to detect cancer recurrence and monitor treatment response, has Medicare coverage in three indications.

"MRD is a large and rapidly growing market with the potential to truly transform how cancer patients are monitored, helping clinicians make faster and more informed decisions when cancer recurs," said Eric Lefkofsky, CEO of Tempus.

Personalis reported preliminary second-quarter revenue of $22.4 million, with 10,384 clinical tests delivered in the quarter, a 33% increase in volumes from the prior quarter.

The deal, approved by both companies' boards, is expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027, pending Personalis shareholder approval and regulatory clearance.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Julie & Holleman LLP, a nationally recognized shareholder rights firm, is investigating the proposed acquisition of Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL) by Tempus AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: TEM), an existing Personalis shareholder and strategic partner.

For a free consultation, please visit https://julieholleman.com/personalis-inc/. You may also contact partner Scott Holleman at (929) 415-1020 or by email at [email protected].

Personalis is a precision oncology company that develops advanced genomic tests designed to detect and monitor cancer. The company has established itself as a leader in molecular residual disease ("MRD") testing, a rapidly growing market with significant long-term potential.

On July 20, 2026, Personalis announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Tempus for consideration valued at $16.25 per share. Tempus, however, is not a typical third-party acquirer. The company already owns a significant equity stake in Personalis through an existing strategic relationship that began in 2023 and has worked closely with Personalis in commercializing its MRD technology.

Julie & Holleman is investigating whether Personalis' public shareholders are receiving fair value for their shares. The firm is particularly concerned that Tempus' preexisting ownership position and strategic relationship with Personalis may have created conflicts of interest during the sale process. The firm is also evaluating whether the merger consideration adequately reflects Personalis' long-term value as demand for MRD testing continues to grow.

Investors looking for stocks in the Retail - Jewelry sector might want to consider either Signet (SIG) or Compagnie Financiere Richemont AG (CFRUY). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

Key Takeaways ALTO sees year-round E15 sales as a potential long-term catalyst for ethanol demand.Expanded E15 access could help absorb added low-carbon ethanol output and support industry margins.Nationwide E15 adoption, including California, could add roughly 1 billion gallons of ethanol demand. Alto Ingredients, Inc. (ALTO - Free Report) could benefit from expanding year-round E15 gasoline sales, which may become an important long-term demand catalyst for its ethanol business. While the company has been improving operations and benefiting from Section 45Z production tax credits, broader E15 adoption could strengthen domestic ethanol demand and provide a larger market for low-carbon renewable fuels. In its first-quarter 2026 earnings call, management highlighted California’s AB 30, which provides a pathway for year-round E15 sales, and noted growing momentum for similar legislation at the federal level.

Stronger demand is becoming increasingly important for ethanol producers. While production incentives encourage higher output, Alto Ingredients believes demand growth is necessary to prevent excess supply from weighing on industry margins. Management described expanded E15 access as an important complement to 45Z incentives by helping the market absorb additional low-carbon ethanol production over time while complementing demand from export markets.

The opportunity could become even more meaningful as Alto Ingredients continues improving production efficiency and operational performance. In its first-quarter earnings call, management cited industry estimates implying that nationwide year-round E15 adoption, including California, could add roughly 1 billion gallons of ethanol demand. While the pace of adoption remains dependent on policy implementation and market acceptance, broader E15 availability could represent a meaningful long-term growth catalyst for Alto Ingredients and the broader ethanol industry.

How ALTO's Ethanol Growth Story Compares With PeersGevo, Inc. (GEVO - Free Report) also sees expanding ethanol demand as an important long-term industry catalyst. In its first-quarter 2026 earnings call, Gevo said year-round E15 adoption could increase ethanol demand while highlighting growing export demand and the emergence of new low-carbon fuel markets. Gevo believes these demand drivers could support additional ethanol consumption and strengthen the growth opportunity for its low-carbon ethanol platform.

Green Plains Inc. (GPRE - Free Report) also views strong ethanol demand as an important long-term industry driver. In its first-quarter 2026 earnings call, Green Plains highlighted solid domestic and international demand, including healthy export markets, and said the structural backdrop for ethanol remains as positive as it has been in years. Green Plains believes sustained demand, combined with operational execution and its carbon strategy, supports the long-term cash-generation outlook and reinforces a constructive industry backdrop.

Artificial intelligence infrastructure remains one of the market’s biggest investment themes, but it has also become one of its biggest sources of anxiety. Hyperscalers including Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META | META Price Prediction), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) are committing hundreds of billions of dollars annually to data centers, GPUs, and networking equipment, prompting concerns that debt and capital spending are getting ahead of future demand. 

Yet not every financing announcement deserves the same reaction. Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) demonstrated that point today after unveiling a new funding agreement that appears to strengthen — not weaken — its long-term investment case.

The market agreed, as shares are gaining about 3% in midday trading today following the announcement it secured $775 million in its first secured debt financing, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its global AI infrastructure footprint.

Why This Debt Looks Different Debt has become a dirty word in AI investing, but context matters. Nebius’s latest financing differs from the massive borrowing programs undertaken by the largest cloud providers because of both its structure and purpose.

Unlike the convertible notes Nebius previously issued, this financing is secured by tangible assets, likely including data centers and related infrastructure. Asset-backed debt generally carries lower borrowing costs while avoiding the shareholder dilution that often accompanies convertible securities.

Just as important, lenders don’t extend secured financing without rigorous due diligence. The collateral must have measurable value, and the underlying business needs enough visibility to support repayment. In that sense, this financing serves as another vote of confidence in Nebius’s expanding infrastructure platform.

Let’s not overlook timing either. AI compute remains in short supply, allowing infrastructure providers to monetize new capacity quickly when backed by committed customers.

Fueling A Business Already Growing Rapidly Nebius isn’t borrowing simply to keep the lights on. The financing is designed to accelerate a business already benefiting from powerful industry tailwinds.

The company has landed major contracts with hyperscalers, including Meta, while maintaining a close relationship with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), whose GPUs remain the backbone of AI training and inference workloads. Those partnerships provide more revenue visibility than many early-stage infrastructure companies enjoy.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Nebius Group didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

That visibility matters because Nebius is pursuing an ambitious global expansion strategy centered on building GPU clusters and data centers capable of serving enterprise and hyperscale customers. Every new facility creates additional revenue-generating capacity.

Ironically, this is where Nebius differs from many concerns surrounding hyperscaler debt. Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet will each spend between $100 billion and $200 billion this year on AI infrastructure from already enormous revenue bases. Nebius, by comparison, is much smaller, making percentage growth far higher while requiring far less absolute capital to expand.

The financing also diversifies Nebius’s capital structure. Moving beyond equity raises and convertible debt lowers its weighted average cost of capital while demonstrating that traditional lenders increasingly view its infrastructure as financeable assets rather than speculative projects.

The Risks Haven’t Disappeared Granted, investors shouldn’t mistake this announcement for a guarantee of success. Nebius still carries debt from earlier convertible offerings, while constructing AI data centers remains expensive and operationally challenging. Delays, cost overruns, or weaker-than-expected AI demand could reduce utilization rates and pressure returns on those investments. Competition from hyperscalers that eventually monetize excess computing capacity also remains a long-term consideration.

Those risks deserve monitoring, but today’s financing actually reduces one of the biggest uncertainties: whether Nebius could continue funding its aggressive expansion without leaning heavily on shareholder dilution.

Key Takeaway In short, Nebius’s $775 million secured financing is more than another capital raise. It represents validation from sophisticated lenders that the company’s infrastructure has meaningful collateral value and that its expansion plans are supported by visible demand. Combined with its relationships with Meta and Nvidia, the financing strengthens a growth narrative that was already gaining traction.

For investors looking beyond today’s 3% share-price gain, this announcement suggests Nebius is evolving from a promising AI upstart into a company capable of financing growth on increasingly favorable terms. In an industry where access to capital often determines who wins, that’s an encouraging milestone.

Redwire (RDW +4.08%) shares have surged twice over the past couple of years, only to fall off a cliff. It's a frustrating cycle given the company's intriguing growth potential as a supplier of components for space systems. Sometimes, volatility can create a life-changing buying opportunity, while other times, it's a signal to stay away.

It's crucial to understand what has held Redwire stock back in order to gauge what a $5,000 investment might look like in five years.

Strong growth potential, held back by two red flags Redwire supplies crucial components and systems to several high-growth industries, including satellites and drone systems, for both commercial and government applications.

The company reported first-quarter revenue of $97 million, up 57% year over year. Even more impressive was Redwire's 1.92 book-to-bill ratio, meaning that it booked far more new orders than it billed to customers. It points to the company's strong growth momentum. Management anticipates full-year sales of $450 million to $500 million, 49% growth from last year's $335.4 million at the high end of guidance.

However, Redwire is deeply unprofitable. The business has burned roughly $165 million in free cash flow over the past four quarters, and net losses are even worse at $300 million. Redwire's share count has risen, roughly tripling since early 2025, and management announced a new offering in June to sell up to $500 million of new common shares on the market.

Suppose you invested $5,000 today Although Redwire's revenue could grow by 49% this year, it's asking a lot to assume the company sustains that growth rate. Instead, I'll assume revenue grows at an annualized rate of 25% over five years. Starting with last year's $335 million in sales, revenue would hit $1 billion in five years.

The stock also seems a bit expensive at 10 times its trailing-12-month earnings. For instance, Heico, an established aerospace components company, trades at 3.4 times sales. That company is growing at about 17% but is already profitable. I'll assume that Redwire's valuation ultimately settles at 5 times sales.

Based on all that, Redwire would trade at a market value of approximately $5 billion in five years. That's a 150% return on the stock's current market cap of $2 billion, making Redwire a winner from here. Remember, that assumes a lot goes right over the next five years and doesn't factor in the recent $500 million offering or any additional shares added to the float during that period. The reality is that the returns could be far lower, even if the business does well.

Given the math above, I probably wouldn't chase Redwire at higher prices than where it is right now. That's at about $9 per share, far below its 52-week high. Above that, the risk becomes too high and the potential reward too low.

Hut 8 Mining Corp (TSX:HUT, Unlisted (US):HUTMF) shares climbed nearly 12% on Monday after the company announced a second long-term lease agreement for its Beacon Point AI data center campus in Texas, fully commercializing the 1-gigawatt facility and increasing its contracted data center portfolio.

The company announced a 15-year lease agreement covering 352 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity with the same high-investment-grade tenant that signed the first phase lease at the campus. The agreement carries a base-term contract value of $9.8 billion and brings the tenant’s total contracted capacity at Beacon Point to 704 MW.

With the transaction, Hut 8’s total contracted AI data center capacity rises to 949 MW across its portfolio, supported by 1,330 MW of utility capacity. The company reported aggregate base-term contract value of $26.6 billion and average annual net operating income of more than $1.75 billion across its contracted AI data center assets.

The Beacon Point campus, located in Nueces County, Texas, is secured by a 1,000 MW utility interconnection agreement with AEP Texas. Hut 8 said the second lease fully commercializes the campus, with the full 1,000 MW capacity now contracted under two 15-year agreements.

The second phase lease will support the development of another 352 MW AI factory designed around Nvidia’s DSX reference architecture for large-scale AI infrastructure. Hut 8 expects initial Phase 2 data hall delivery in the second quarter of 2028.

The company expects the second lease to contribute $9.8 billion in cumulative net operating income over the base term, or approximately $655 million annually once stabilized. Including both phases, Hut 8 expects the full Beacon Point campus to generate $1.31 billion in average annual NOI.

Hut 8 noted that three five-year renewal options under each lease could increase potential campus-level contract value to $50.2 billion if fully exercised.

“The real test of our power-first approach is what our partners are willing to commit against it,” Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said.

“Our tenant at Beacon Point chose to double its footprint at the site, the strongest validation an asset can receive. We took this greenfield site from first lease to full commercialization in just months,” he said.  

“That speaks to the quality of the sites we originate, the credibility of our delivery, and the long-term orientation of our partnerships. The opportunity ahead of us is to apply the same model across our development pipeline.”

The company also highlighted its “power-first” development approach, which involves securing energy capacity before building data center infrastructure. Hut 8 said the Beacon Point project was initially developed around speed-to-power opportunities before being converted into a fully contracted AI data center campus.

Construction activity is underway at the site, with long-lead equipment procured and initial energization still expected in the first quarter of 2027, according to the company.

Analysts on Wall Street project that Tractor Supply (TSCO - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $0.83 per share in its forthcoming report, representing an increase of 2.5% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $4.63 billion, increasing 4.4% from the same quarter last year.

The current level reflects a downward revision of 1.8% 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.

Before a company reveals its earnings, it is vital to take into account any changes in earnings projections. These revisions play a pivotal role in predicting the possible reactions of investors toward the stock. Multiple empirical studies have consistently shown a strong association between trends in earnings estimates and the short-term price movements of a stock.

While investors typically use consensus earnings and revenue estimates as a yardstick to evaluate the company's quarterly performance, scrutinizing analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics can offer a more comprehensive perspective.

With that in mind, let's delve into the average projections of some Tractor Supply metrics that are commonly tracked and projected by analysts on Wall Street.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Number of stores - Petsense' at 206 . The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of 207 .

Analysts predict that the 'Number of stores' will reach 2,658 . The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of 2,542 .

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Number of stores - Tractor Supply' should arrive at 2,456 . Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 2,335 in the same quarter last year.

The consensus among analysts is that 'Sales per selling square foot' will reach $111.28 . The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $111.67 .

It is projected by analysts that the 'Total selling square footage' will reach 42 millions of square feet. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 40 millions of square feet in the same quarter of the previous year.

The consensus estimate for 'New stores opened - Tractor Supply' stands at 18 . Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 24 in the same quarter of the previous year.

Bitmine Weekly Update

STAKING: BMNR now staking over 4.9 million ETH as of July 19, 2026

ALCHEMY OF 5%: BMNR ranked #187 by 5D avg daily $ volume Stand 19. Juli 2026, 20:30 Uhr ET, setzen sich die Kryptowährungsbestände des Unternehmens aus 5.777.468 ETH zu einem Kurs von 1.879 US-Dollar pro ETH zusammen (laut Coinbase, NASDAQ: COIN), 207 Bitcoin (BTC), eine Beteiligung in Höhe von 180 Millionen US-Dollar an Beast Industries, eine Beteiligung in Höhe von 58 Millionen US-Dollar an Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) („Moonshots") sowie Barmittel und marktfähige Wertpapiere in Höhe von insgesamt 385 Millionen US-Dollar. Die ETH-Bestände von Bitmine machen 4,8 % des ETH-Gesamtbestands (von 120,7 Millionen ETH) aus.

„Bitmine hat in der vergangenen Woche rund 5,5 Millionen Stammaktien zu einem Durchschnittspreis von 15,6156 US-Dollar zurückgekauft. Wir betrachten den Rückkauf unserer Stammaktien als wertsteigernd für die Aktionäre", erklärte Thomas „Tom" Lee, Chairman von Bitmine.

Bitmine hat den Rückkauf von 5,5 Millionen Stammaktien im Rahmen des zuvor genehmigten Aktienrückkaufprogramms in Höhe von 4 Milliarden US-Dollar durchgeführt. 

„In der vergangenen Woche haben wir 7.430 ETH erworben. Das geringere Kaufvolumen spiegelt wider, dass Bitmine 5,5 Millionen Stammaktien zurückgekauft hat. Bitmine hat seit Einführung der ETH-Treasury-Strategie am 30. Juni 2025 jede Woche ETH gekauft", erklärte Lee.

Am 16. Juli 2026 veröffentlichte Bitmine die neueste Botschaft des Vorstandsvorsitzenden (Link hier:) für Juli 2026. Der Titel der Botschaft lautet: „ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth."

Anfang 2026 brachte Bitmine MAVAN (das „Made in American VAlidator Network") auf den Markt, eine Staking-Plattform für institutionelle Anleger. Während MAVAN ursprünglich entwickelt wurde, um die eigene Ethereum-Treasury von Bitmine zu unterstützen, beabsichtigt MAVAN, sein Angebot auszuweiten, um institutionelle Anleger, Verwahrstellen und Ökosystempartner zu bedienen, die eine erstklassige Staking-Infrastruktur suchen. Ein Teil der ETH von Bitmine ist bereits auf der MAVAN-Plattform gestakt.

Stand 19. Juli 2026 beläuft sich die Gesamtmenge der bei Bitmine gestakten ETH auf 4.917.189 (9,2 Milliarden US-Dollar bei einem Kurs von 1.879 US-Dollar pro ETH). „Bitmine hat mehr ETH gestakt als jede andere Organisation weltweit. Im großen Maßstab (wenn die ETH von Bitmine vollständig von MAVAN und seinen Staking-Partnern gestaked wird) beläuft sich die prognostizierte ETH-Staking-Prämie auf annualisierter Basis auf 290 Millionen US-Dollar (unter Zugrundelegung einer 7-Tage-BMNR-Rendite von 2,67 %)", erklärte Lee.

„Die annualisierten Staking-Erträge werden nun auf 247 Millionen Dollar geschätzt. Und diese 4,9 Millionen ETH entsprechen 85 % der 5,78 Millionen ETH, die Bitmine hält. Die eigenen Staking-Aktivitäten von Bitmine erzielten eine 7-Tage-Rendite von 2,67 % (annualisiert)", fuhr Lee fort.

Die Kryptowährungsbestände von Bitmine sind die größte Ethereum-Kasse und die zweitgrößte Kasse weltweit, hinter Strategy Inc., das Berichten zufolge 843.775 BTC im Wert von etwa 55 Milliarden US-Dollar besitzt. Bitmine bleibt die weltweit größte ETH-Treasury. 

Bitmine ist eine der am häufigsten gehandelten Aktien in den USA. Nach Angaben von Fundstrat verzeichnete die Aktie ein durchschnittliches tägliches Handelsvolumen von 579 Millionen US-Dollar (5-Tage-Durchschnitt, Stand: 17. Juli 2026) und belegt damit Platz 187 in den USA – hinter Airbnb (Platz 186) und vor Fastenal (Platz 188) unter 5.704 in den USA notierten Aktien (statista.com und Fundstrat-Research).

Die Geschäftsführung von Bitmine ist der Ansicht, dass der GENIUS Act und das Project Crypto der Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) für die Finanzdienstleistungen im Jahr 2025 ebenso wegweisend sind wie die Maßnahmen der USA vom 15. August 1971, mit denen vor 54 Jahren das Bretton-Woods-System und die Bindung des US-Dollars an den Goldstandard beendet wurden. Dieses Ereignis aus dem Jahr 1971 war der Auslöser für die Modernisierung der Wall Street und führte zur Entstehung der legendären Wall-Street-Giganten sowie der heutigen Finanz- und Zahlungsinfrastruktur. Diese erwiesen sich als bessere Investitionen als Gold.

Shares of the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider Iren Limited (IREN +20.14%) jumped nearly 20% Monday morning after a big revision to its 2026 revenue target. The announcement showed that AI infrastructure investments continue to grow, despite fears that a bubble is forming.

Iren stock eased off its early jump, but remained up by 16.7% as of 11:45 a.m. ET.

AI developers keep spending Tech stocks have been volatile recently as investors balance the massive spending to build out compute capacity for AI models with fears of a bubble if companies do not receive proper returns on those investments.

Iren announced today that it has continued to sign contracts to lease out its data center capacity. It says it has new long-term cloud service agreements that allow it to raise its year-end annual revenue run rate to over $4 billion. That's up from $3.7 billion and assumes its planned cloud capacity increases are completed this year.

As companies need more computing resources for AI training and inference, they are seeking contracts with companies like Iren. Its customers include tech giants such as Nvidia and Microsoft, as well as private cloud computing companies like Perplexity and Fluidstack.

The biggest reason investors jumped in today may be that the company noted that "contracted pricing continues to strengthen."

That's a good sign that companies are confident that they will see proper returns on these investments, and that demand for Iren's capacity remains strong.
