Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Aehr Test Systems AEHR is exploding higher on July 15 after posting blowout Q4 earnings and offering an absolute stunner of a forward guidance.

In fiscal 2027, the company expects its revenue to come in at $140 million, nearly triple the topline figure last year and miles above the consensus set at $85 million only.

However, there’s reason to treat this monumental post-earnings pop as a window to take profit and sell AEHR shares that are currently trading more than 4x above their price at the start of 2026.

AEHR stock is ripping higher on Wednesday because the firm’s Q4 release de-risked its backlog.

According to the earnings release, it ended the fourth quarter with nearly $101 million in backlog – which means roughly 72% of its ambitious fiscal 2027 revenue outlook is already booked.

Crucially, a whopping $60.7 million in bookings during Q4 yielded an exciting 3.2x book-to-bill ratio.

Investors are cheering Aehr Test Systems this morning also because of its aggressive diversification away from the sluggish electric vehicle (EV) silicon carbide market.

Non-EV markets – including artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, silicon photonics, and optical transceivers – now account for an impressive 95% of the company’s recent annual revenue.

Despite fundamental strength, significant risks loom.

At the current price, AEHR shares are trading at an eye-watering 48x sales (P/S) – a multiple typically reserved for high-margin software giants, not cyclical hardware manufacturers.

Compounding this, Aehr Test Systems is technically non-profitable, posting negative earnings per share of 38 cents over the trailing twelve months; paying such a premium for an unprofitable name is inherently risky.

Adding fuel to the bearish thesis, insiders have been aggressively unloading shares – recording 19 sell transactions and no buys over the past three months.

And while many of these sales were tied to tax obligations on vesting shares, the optics are highly bearish and may intensify the selling pressure on AEHR in the back half of 2026.

Even from a technical perspective, investors should note that Aehr Test Systems challenged its 50-day moving average (MA) today, but failed to sustainably break above the “closely-watched” $95 level.

While the stock’s immense momentum has drawn bulls back into the fold, this rejection at a crucial resistance level suggests the immediate upside may be strictly capped.

Because AEHR shares failed to decisively clear this technical hurdle on Wednesday, the short-term trend remains vulnerable to profit-taking.

Crucially, while the consensus rating on the company remains at “Moderate Buy”, the mean price target of about $71 has already been left far behind, signaling the Street, on average, sees AEHR as overvalued currently.

All in all, Aehr Test Systems’ fundamentals sure are improving, but valuation and technical levels suggest investors could find a better risk-reward elsewhere.

The Trump administration is pressuring foreign memory chipmakers to expand their U.S. footprint, framing memory as a strategic asset for the AI era. According to a Benzinga report, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has publicly pressed Samsung and SK Hynix, saying they will have “no choice but to follow” Micron Technology‘s (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) domestic expansion, and adding that “strengthening America’s semiconductor supply chain” outweighs corporate rivalries.

The two Korean giants are reportedly in active expansion talks with Washington and reportedly plan $880 billion of combined investment in the coming years to serve AI memory demand. SK Hynix‘s (NASDAQ:SKHY) U.S.-listed ADR recently began trading on the NASDAQ exchange, signaling the memory supply chain is orienting west.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk unveiled plans for “Terafab,” a vertically integrated chip mega-facility in Austin, Texas, pursued jointly by Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX). Musk described it as a “large-scale domestic production facility that includes logic, memory, and packaging,” targeting 1 terawatt of annual chip output. Terafab remains a stated vision with no disclosed timeline, but it reinforces the direction of travel.

Three publicly traded companies look positioned to benefit if U.S. memory investment accelerates. Each occupies a distinct point in the fab value chain, from lithography tools to metrology to physical construction.

1. ASML ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) holds a global monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, meaning no advanced memory or logic fab can be built without its systems. The company reported Q2 2026 revenue of $10.65 billion, up 21.3% year over year (YoY), with EPS of $8.67 and operating margin of 37.1%.

Management raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $43 billion to $45 billion and outlined plans to add 30% to low-NA EUV capacity for 2027, with a matching expansion planned for DUV immersion systems. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet cited “ongoing AI-related investments” driving demand for advanced logic and memory chips.

ASML stock is up 64% year to date (YTD) and carries a trailing 12-month P/E ratio of 60x. The valuation is elevated, and the business is more logic and EUV-levered than pure memory. However, any U.S. memory fab wave necessarily pulls through ASML tools.

The risks include export control restrictions and tariff overhang, both flagged by management. A domestically focused U.S. policy could partly offset ASML’s lost China revenue, though not fully.

2. Onto Innovation Onto Innovation (NYSE:ONTO) specializes in process control, metrology, and inspection with heavy exposure to high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced packaging, the exact segments driving AI memory capex. The company’s Q1 2026 revenue hit a record $291.95 million, up 9.5% YoY, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.42.

Onto Innovation’s advanced-nodes business grew 13% quarterly, and management guided Q2 revenue to $320 million to $330 million. A prior volume purchase agreement estimated at over $240 million with a leading HBM manufacturer runs through 2027, and Onto also holds a 27% ownership stake in Rigaku valued at $710 million.

July 16 is the Final Day to Tap Into the Lithium Boom (sponsor)
General Motors, POSCO, and 50,000+ everyday investors have already backed lithium producer EnergyX.

Here's why you should do the same before their July 16 investment deadline: lithium prices are up 75% this year, with demand projected to grow a staggering 5X by 2040.

With tech that can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 15M+ tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX investor before the July 16 deadline.

CEO Mike Plisinski stated that “global AI investment fueling a robust upcycle in semiconductor capital equipment spending” positions Onto’s portfolio across advanced packaging, advanced nodes, and specialty devices to capture high-growth segments.

Onto Innovation stock is up 89% YTD, but ONTO’s trailing 12-month P/E ratio sits near 132x, a rich level that leaves little room for execution slips. The consensus analyst target price is $369.60; Onto Innovation’s valuation and smaller-cap volatility are among the main risks.

3. EMCOR Group EMCOR Group (NYSE:EME) provides the electrical and mechanical construction that physically builds fabs, cleanrooms, data centers, and mission-critical facilities. The company’s Q1 2026 revenue was $4.63 billion, up 19.7% YoY, with EPS of $6.84 and operating margin of 8.7%.

EMCOR’s Remaining Performance Obligations reached a record $15.62 billion, up 32.9% YoY, and management raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $18.5 billion to $19.25 billion. Furthermore, the company’s U.S. Electrical Construction revenue jumped 33.1% and U.S. Mechanical Construction climbed 28.8%.

EMCOR stock is up 23% YTD with a trailing 12-month P/E ratio near 25x, a comparatively modest multiple among the three names. The consensus analyst price target sits at $1,000.14.

The risks are project-based rather than technological: tariffs on materials, skilled labor scarcity, and inflation. EMCOR isn’t a pure semiconductor play, so fab exposure competes with data centers, healthcare, and institutional work in its backlog.

The ETF Angle and Broader Takeaways Investors seeking diversified exposure could consider the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH), which holds ASML at around 8% of net assets as a top-tier position. The ETF excludes EMCOR entirely, and Onto Innovation falls outside its top ten holdings, so it delivers only partial coverage of the memory-fab construction theme.

The SMH ETF is a concentrated single-sector fund that carries sector-concentration risk. For context on how AI capex is reshaping adjacent industries, our research team’s briefing on 7 Stocks Powering the AI Boom (That Aren’t Chipmakers) explores that theme in depth.

The thesis for ASML, Onto Innovation, and EMCOR rests on a policy push and announced plans whose timelines and outcomes remain uncertain. Investors may want to watch fab groundbreaking announcements, HBM order flow, and further Commerce Department signals for confirmation, and should size their positions modestly given the elevated valuations in the equipment-segment businesses.

Meet America's Newest $1b Unicorn (Sponsor) A US startup just passed a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like OpenAI and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest in EnergyX right now; but only until July 16.

Over 50,000 people already have, along with global giants like General Motors and POSCO.

Here's why there's so much interest: EnergyX's patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the 7/16 investment deadline.

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming August 28, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Hub Group, Inc. (“Hub Group” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HUBG) securities between April 28, 2023 and May 11, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR HUB GROUP INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On February 5, 2026, Hub Group disclosed it had “identified an error that resulted in the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable in the first nine months of 2025.” The Company determined that, as a result, financial statements for those periods should no longer be relied upon.

The Company further stated it “expects to conclude that it did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025.”

On this news, Hub Group’s stock price fell $9.34, or 18.3%, to close at $41.96 per share on February 6, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on May 12, 2026, Hub Group disclosed that additional financial statements from 2023 and 2024 would need to be restated after the Company had “identified certain transactions that were prematurely or incorrectly recognized or not adequately supported.” The Company also announced that it would be unable to timely file its first quarter 2026 financial report as well as its full year 2025 annual report.

On this news, Hub Group’s stock price fell $5.24, or 12.5%, to close at $36.62 per share on May 12, 2026, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company’s financial statements prepared for the periods from Q1 2023 to Q4 2024 contained material misstatements caused by the premature and incorrect recognition of certain transactions; (2) the Company’s financial statements prepared for the periods from Q1 2025 to Q3 2025 contained material misstatements caused by the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Hub Group securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 28, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? Entegris (ENTG - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry, could be a great candidate to consider.

This maker of equipment used in chip manufacturing has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 9.57%.

For the most recent quarter, Entegris was expected to post earnings of $0.75 per share, but it reported $0.86 per share instead, representing a surprise of 14.67%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.67 per share, while it actually produced $0.7 per share, a surprise of 4.48%.

Price and EPS Surprise

For Entegris, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially 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.

Entegris currently has an Earnings ESP of +0.45%, 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 #2 (Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on August 4, 2026.

When the Earnings ESP comes up negative, investors should note that this will reduce the predictive power of the metric. But, a negative value is not indicative of a stock's 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.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In PicS To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired PicS Class A Common stock in and/or traceable to PicS' January 30, 2026 initial public offering ("IPO") and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against PicS N.V. ("PicS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PICS) and reminds investors of the August 4, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) PicS N.V. had conducted an evaluation of its credit evaluation procedures in December 2025 and determined that such procedures were deficient and in need of enhancement; (2) as a result of the new procedures PicS N.V. had implemented in December 2025, PicS N.V. had reclassified approximately R$590 million of exposures previously classified as Stage 2 to Stage 3, leading to an incremental ECL charge of R$88 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025; (3) PicS N.V. had experienced a heightened, but unreported, Stage 3 formation rate of more than 7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 that deviated substantially from the historical results and trends provided in the offering documents; (4) the IPO's offering documents had materially overstated the quality and ability of PicS N.V.'s credit models and user data to inform PicS N.V.'s underwriting practices and to allow PicS N.V. to timely and effectively monitor, assess, and identify adverse credit events, credit risks, and credit deterioration across its portfolio; and (5) PicS N.V. suffered from degradations in customer credit quality and heightened risks of default and loan impairment as a result of its entrance into materially riskier business lines leading up to the IPO, resulting in undisclosed adverse financial and operational trends such as heightened incidents of default, which predated the IPO and were internally projected by PicS N.V. to continue to worsen following the IPO, materially impairing PicS N.V.'s business, operations, and financial results.

On or around January 29, 2026, PicPay conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling 22.86 million Class A common shares priced at $19.00 per share.

Then, on March 18, 2026, PicPay released its fourth quarter 2025 financial results and revealed that, as part of the Company's "annual review of expected credit loss parameters," it had made several "enhancements" to its Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") calculations, and "implemented a stricter policy to accelerate the classification of renegotiated non-performing exposures from Stage 2 to Stage 3." Consequently, "R$590 million of Stage 2 portfolio balances were reclassified to Stage 3, resulting in an ECL increase of R$88 [$17.56 million USD]." Stage 3 is the Company's highest risk category for its credit portfolio.

On this news, PicPay's stock price fell $3.56 per share, or 22.5%, to close at $12.27 per share on March 19, 2026.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding PicS' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the PicS N.V. class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/PICS or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the PicS N.V. Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the PicS N.V. securities fraud lawsuit about?

The PicS N.V. securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that PicS N.V. (NASDAQ: PICS) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors in connection with the Company's January 30, 2026 IPO by concealing that the Company had already identified deficiencies in its credit evaluation procedures in December 2025, had reclassified approximately R$590 million of exposures from Stage 2 to Stage 3 (its highest credit risk category) resulting in an incremental expected credit loss charge of R$88 million, and was experiencing a Stage 3 formation rate exceeding 7% in Q4 2025 — a significant deviation from the historical trends presented in the IPO's offering documents. As the truth emerged on March 18, 2026, when PicS disclosed these credit portfolio deteriorations as part of its Q4 2025 financial results, PICS shares fell $3.56 per share, or 22.5%, to close at $12.27 — well below the $19.00 IPO price — causing significant losses for investors.

Who may be eligible to participate in the PicS N.V. class action lawsuit?

Investors who purchased PicS N.V. (PICS) Class A common stock in and/or traceable to the Company's January 30, 2026 initial public offering and suffered financial losses may be eligible to participate in the PicS securities class action. Participation as a class member does not require taking any affirmative legal action; eligible investors may recover losses simply by remaining members of the class. Whistleblowers, former PicS employees, and others with relevant information about the Company's conduct are also encouraged to come forward.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment in the PicS N.V. lawsuit?

A lead plaintiff in the PicS N.V. class action is a court-appointed investor — typically the one with the largest financial interest in the case — who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of all class members. Any PicS investor who purchased PICS Class A common stock in or traceable to the IPO may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice. The deadline to seek lead plaintiff appointment is August 4, 2026. Importantly, choosing not to seek the lead plaintiff role does not affect an investor's ability to share in any recovery obtained for the class.

(PICS) Class A common stock in and/or traceable to the January 30, 2026 IPO and suffered losses should contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP immediately to discuss their legal rights.

Captioned Imbert v. Commvault Systems, Inc., No. 26-cv-05654 (D.N.J.), the Commvault class action lawsuit charges Commvault as well as certain of Commvault’s current and former executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Commvault provides cyber resiliency solutions for enterprises to protect, secure, and recover data, applications, and identity systems.

The Commvault class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that Commvault’s annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) growth would remain steady throughout fiscal year 2026; (ii) Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded the impact that different types of sales would have on its ARR growth; and (iii) the variation in net ARR growth is strongly based on the type of sale Commvault is making, thus, Commvault’s projected net new ARR should not have been determined without properly factoring in sale type.

The Commvault class action lawsuit further alleges that on January 27, 2026, Commvault released its third quarter 2026 financial results, revealing net new ARR of $39 million, below Commvault’s previously guided $45 million.

NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) between January 28, 2025 and January 26, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

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

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Commvault class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/commvault-systems-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 17, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Commvault’s competitive positioning was materially weaker than defendants had represented to investors; (2) due to the undisclosed increase in competition, Commvault was forced to make significant concessions on price and contract duration for its software licenses; (3) as these concessions became unsustainable, Software as a Service (“SaaS”) became a larger portion of Commvault’s sales mix; (4) in turn, the increasing mix of SaaS sales, which carry shorter term durations and lower average selling prices (“ASPs”), negatively impacted Commvault’s margin and Net New ARR (“NNARR”); and (5) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about Commvault’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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

Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL | DELL Price Prediction) shares are down 14% to $394 at midday Wednesday, leading a sharp pullback across AI server hardware names. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) shares are off 8% to $45.67, and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) shares are down 5% to $26.26.

The move looks like a positioning event rather than a company-specific headline. Today’s drop takes a bite out of one of the year’s most extended runs for Dell stock.

Even after the slide, Dell shares remain up 219% year to date (YTD), HPE stock is up 92% YTD, and Super Micro Computer stock is down 9% YTD. In other words, Dell and HPE are giving back gains while retaining their leadership.

Profit-Taking Hits the AI Hardware Trade There’s no confirmed fresh catalyst behind today’s decline in Dell, HPE, or Super Micro Computer. The action is consistent with broad AI infrastructure risk-off and profit-taking after enormous runs in high-beta hardware names, with Dell leading the decline into midday.

A few explanations are circulating, and it’s worth setting them aside. A GF Securities downgrade of Dell to Hold on valuation is older news and not today’s trigger. “AI-hardware overcapacity” and “rising memory costs squeezing server margins” remain thematic concerns without a confirmed event, and today’s move also coincides with weakness across chips and memory in a broad semiconductor de-risking day.

One accuracy point matters here. Dell, HPE, and Super Micro Computer are server assemblers that consume memory, so any memory-cost pressure would flow through as a potential margin headwind on server gross margin rather than a demand hit. Dell’s Q1 FY27 gross margin already compressed to 18% from 21% a year earlier on AI mix, which keeps that concern live even without a fresh data point.

July 16 is the Final Day to Tap Into the Lithium Boom (sponsor)
General Motors, POSCO, and 50,000+ everyday investors have already backed lithium producer EnergyX.

Here's why you should do the same before their July 16 investment deadline: lithium prices are up 75% this year, with demand projected to grow a staggering 5X by 2040.

With tech that can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 15M+ tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX investor before the July 16 deadline.

The Bull and Bear Cases on Dell The bull case on Dell hasn’t changed on the fundamentals. Dell’s Q1 FY27 revenue came in at $43.84 billion, up 88% year over year (YoY), and AI-optimized server revenue was $16.13 billion. The company’s management raised its FY27 revenue guidance to $165 billion to $169 billion, with AI server revenue targeted at $60 billion.

Analysts still carry an average target of $487 on DELL. The bear case is straightforward: Dell stock has traveled a long way in a short time, with a beta of 1.376, which means that positioning-driven days like this one can produce outsized swings. Hardware margins remain thin, and AI capex sustainability is a real question for investors considering exposure at these levels. Position sizing should reflect that volatility.

Peers and the Broader Tape The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) is down 1% today and up 16% YTD, a reminder that the broader large-cap tech ETF is moving in a far tighter range than the AI hardware trio. The ETF is a diversified, non-leveraged tech-heavy fund, and its calmer tape today underscores that this selloff is concentrated in high-beta hardware rather than tech at large.

HPE stock still carries a forward earnings multiple of 12x after the Juniper Networks integration lifted the company’s networking revenue by 148% YoY last quarter. Super Micro Computer trades at a forward multiple of 9x, with an independent board review of export-control-related transactions still hanging over the story.

What to Watch Investors can watch for whether Dell stock holds above $390 into the close, and whether HPE and Super Micro Computer stabilize alongside chip names this afternoon. A close near the lows may invite further deleveraging, while a bounce could frame today as a routine reset in a still-intact AI hardware uptrend.

Meet America's Newest $1b Unicorn (Sponsor) A US startup just passed a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like OpenAI and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest in EnergyX right now; but only until July 16.

Over 50,000 people already have, along with global giants like General Motors and POSCO.

Here's why there's so much interest: EnergyX's patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the 7/16 investment deadline.

Investors interested in stocks from the Utility - Electric Power sector have probably already heard of Edison International (EIX) and OGE Energy (OGE). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now?

Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.

Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.

Based in Houston, Prosperity Bancshares (PB - Free Report) is in the Finance sector, and so far this year, shares have seen a price change of 4.91%. The financial holding company is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.60 per share, with a dividend yield of 3.31%. This compares to the Banks - Southwest industry's yield of 1.63% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.34%.

Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.40 is up 2.6% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Prosperity Bancshares has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 4.50%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Prosperity Bancshares's current payout ratio is 41%, meaning it paid out 41% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.

PB is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $6.25 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 9.84%.

Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.

For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. Income investors must be conscious of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, PB is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Fiserv’s Debit Network Talks Raise a Bigger Question for Visa and MastercardThe PNC Financial Services Group NYSE: PNC reported what Chairman and CEO Bill Demchak called an “impressive” second quarter, with management pointing to broad-based business momentum, stronger fee income, continued commercial loan growth and stable credit quality.

PNC generated second-quarter net income of $2.1 billion, or $4.81 per diluted share. Demchak said results included FirstBank integration costs and other significant items that collectively reduced earnings per share by $0.04, resulting in adjusted diluted EPS of $4.85.

Get PNC alerts:

Big Bank Earnings Gave Financials a Lift, But Wall Street Is Still Cautious“Business momentum remains really strong,” Demchak said. “We continue to win new clients and deepen existing relationships.” He cited healthy growth in demand deposit accounts, increased client acquisition across corporate and private banking, and higher net interest income supported by commercial loan growth and favorable deposit mix and pricing.

Revenue Growth Driven by Net Interest Income and Fees Chief Financial Officer Rob Reilly said total revenue was $6.9 billion in the second quarter, up $710 million, or 12%, from the first quarter. Net interest income was $4.1 billion, up $146 million, helped by commercial loan growth and higher non-interest-bearing deposit balances. Net interest margin rose one basis point to 2.96%.

PNC Prepping for Its Best Year—Is Anyone Noticing?Fee income was a standout in the quarter, increasing $200 million, or 10%, to $2.3 billion. Reilly said the growth was broad-based across fee categories. Capital markets and advisory revenue increased $114 million, or 25%, reflecting record M&A advisory fees and strong activity across other capital markets businesses. Asset management and brokerage revenue rose 5%, card and cash management increased 5%, lending and deposit services rose 2%, and mortgage revenue increased 22%.

Demchak said PNC’s fee performance underscored the value of its diversified business model. Reilly added that, compared with the second quarter of 2025 and excluding integration costs and significant items, total non-interest income increased $444 million, or 21%.

Commercial Lending Leads Balance Sheet Growth Average loans were $363 billion, up $12 billion, or 4%, from the first quarter. Reilly said “virtually all” of the growth came from commercial and industrial lending, reflecting strong new production and higher utilization across almost every loan category. Commercial real estate balances rose $690 million, driven primarily by retail and industrial exposures, while consumer loans declined $730 million as credit card growth partially offset expected declines in residential real estate and auto loans.

During the question-and-answer session, Reilly said PNC expects loan growth to continue in the second half of the year, but at a slower pace than in the first half. He described the company’s second-half loan growth outlook as roughly aligned with GDP growth.

Demchak said the loan growth was broad-based across industries and geographies, with newer markets outpacing legacy markets as PNC gains share. “We’re gaining share all on the back of what feels like a pretty strong economy,” he said.

On loan pricing, Reilly said PNC was not seeing significant competitive spread pressure. However, he said portfolio spreads were being diluted somewhat by mix, as much of the current lending is going to higher-credit-quality, lower-spread borrowers. He said those loans often come with treasury management or capital markets relationships and are “hugely accretive” to earnings per share even if they are dilutive to net interest margin.

Deposits Stable, Capital Returns Increase Average deposits were stable at $457 billion. Reilly said higher consumer balances offset a seasonal decline in commercial deposits. The total rate paid on interest-bearing deposits declined five basis points to 1.91%, while average non-interest-bearing balances grew 4% from the prior quarter and represented 23% of total deposits.

PNC increased borrowings by $16 billion to $79 billion, reflecting higher Federal Home Loan Bank advances. In response to an analyst question, Demchak said investors should view PNC’s funding approach as an optimization among multiple levers, including wholesale funding and deposits. He said the FHLB advances were the “cheapest alternative” during the quarter to fund loans relative to other options.

PNC returned $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders in the quarter, including $690 million of common dividends and $610 million of share repurchases. Reilly said third-quarter repurchases are expected to approximate the second-quarter level. The board also approved an 18% increase in the quarterly common stock dividend, raising it by $0.30 to $2 per share.

The company’s estimated common equity tier 1 ratio was 9.9%. Reilly said PNC’s operating target remains around 10%.

Credit Quality Remains Strong Reilly said overall credit quality remained strong, with improvements in nonperforming loans, delinquencies and net charge-offs. Nonperforming loans declined $216 million, or 10%, to $2 billion, representing 0.55% of total loans. Total delinquencies declined $122 million to $1.4 billion, or 0.39% of total loans.

Net loan charge-offs were $226 million, and the net charge-off ratio was 25 basis points. PNC’s allowance for credit losses totaled $5.5 billion, or 1.48% of total loans, at quarter-end.

Asked about potential areas of credit vulnerability, Reilly said PNC does not see “any big pockets forming.” He cited pressures in healthcare, distilleries and transportation related to fuel costs, but said there was nothing that particularly worried him beyond those areas.

Outlook Calls for Higher 2026 Revenue PNC’s full-year 2026 outlook, which excludes FirstBank integration charges and significant items, calls for average loan growth of approximately 12.5% compared with 2025. The company expects net interest income to rise 15% to 15.5%, non-interest income to increase approximately 9%, and total revenue to grow approximately 13%. Non-interest expense is expected to increase approximately 8.5%, with an effective tax rate of about 19.5%.

For the third quarter, PNC expects average loans to rise 1% to 2%, net interest income to increase 3% to 3.5%, fee income to decline 5% to 5.5%, and other non-interest income to be between $150 million and $200 million. Adjusted non-interest expense is expected to decline 2% to 3%, with approximately $50 million of integration expenses. Net charge-offs are expected to be approximately $225 million.

Reilly said PNC’s base case assumes U.S. GDP growth of approximately 2.1% in 2026, unemployment ending the year around 4.3%, and the Federal Reserve keeping rates stable throughout the year.

Demchak also highlighted progress beyond the quarter’s financial results, including completion of the FirstBank conversion, new branch openings in high-growth markets and the launch of a new mobile banking platform. He said those initiatives are intended to position PNC for sustained long-term growth rather than near-term results.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Peabody Energy To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Peabody Energy between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Peabody Energy Corporation ("Peabody Energy" or the "Company") (NYSE: BTU) and reminds investors of the August 24, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Peabody Energy's securities at artificially inflated prices.

On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output, announcing that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges" (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $3.82, or approximately 9.7%, to close at $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026.

On May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release disclosing the Company's failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease, reducing the full year sales outlook for Centurion to 2.5 million tons compared to the original expectation of 3.5 million tons. On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $1.52, or 5.7%, to close at $25.00 per share on May 5, 2026.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Peabody Energy's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the Peabody Energy class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/BTU or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Peabody Energy Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the Peabody Energy securities fraud lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts concerning the true condition of the Company's Centurion mine, including the nature and severity of issues allegedly causing delays to its ramp-up and return to full longwall production. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants provided investors with overwhelmingly positive statements about the Centurion mine while purportedly withholding information about the multitude of operational challenges affecting it. These allegedly false and misleading statements are said to have caused investors to purchase Peabody Energy securities at artificially inflated prices. The inflation in the stock price allegedly began to correct when Peabody Energy disclosed, on March 30, 2026, that first quarter 2026 output from the Centurion mine was expected to reach only approximately 250,000 tons — well below prior estimates of approximately 700,000 tons — due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges," and further when the Company disclosed on May 5, 2026 that it had failed to ramp up the mine by its March 2026 deadline and cut its full-year sales outlook for Centurion from 3.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons.

Who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit?

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) securities on the NASDAQ between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, may be eligible to participate in this lawsuit as members of the proposed class. Eligibility to participate is not limited to investors who seek appointment as lead plaintiff; any qualifying class member may share in any recovery that may ultimately be obtained. Investors who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered losses are encouraged to review their transaction records to determine whether they fall within the defined class. Participation in a class action does not require that an investor take any individual legal action or incur separate legal fees to potentially benefit from any recovery achieved on behalf of the class.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment?

A lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation, including making key decisions regarding litigation strategy and the selection of lead counsel. Any class member who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered a loss may move the court for appointment as lead plaintiff, and courts typically appoint the movant with the largest financial interest in the outcome of the litigation who otherwise satisfies applicable legal requirements. The deadline to file a motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiff is August 24, 2026. Importantly, investors are not required to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in order to participate in the class and share in any recovery that may result from the litigation — class members who do not serve as lead plaintiff retain the ability to benefit from any settlement or judgment.

What should investors do if they purchased Peabody Energy stock during the Class Period?

Investors who purchased Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, are encouraged to promptly review their brokerage records and account statements to confirm the dates and prices at which they acquired and, if applicable, sold their shares. Investors should take steps to preserve all relevant documentation, including transaction confirmations, account statements, and any communications relating to their Peabody Energy holdings, as such records may be relevant to establishing eligibility and calculating losses. Given that the lead plaintiff motion deadline is August 24, 2026, investors wishing to be considered for appointment as lead plaintiff should act well in advance of that date. Investors may wish to consult with Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP or other qualified securities counsel to evaluate their legal rights and options before the deadline.

Why should investors contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP?

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has represented investors in securities litigation for decades and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for shareholders. Investors who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period may contact the firm to discuss their legal rights, potential claims, and the lead plaintiff process at no cost or obligation.

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Valero Energy (VLO - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Valero Energy currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if VLO is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this oil refiner holds up.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For VLO, shares are up 4.83% over the past week while the Zacks Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing industry is up 6.35% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 23.47% compares favorably with the industry's 15.65% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Valero Energy have increased 29.15% over the past quarter, and have gained 102.57% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 8.52% and 21.6%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of VLO's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now VLO is averaging 2,977,036 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with VLO.

Over the past two months, 6 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost VLO's consensus estimate, increasing from $28.26 to $32.04 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 6 estimates have moved upwards while there have been 1 downward revision in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that VLO is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Valero Energy on your short list.

Upcoming ReleasesThe Travelers Companies Inc. (TRV - Free Report) will report second-quarter 2026 results on July 17, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $5.16, suggesting a decrease of 20.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

TRV’s earnings beat estimates in the last four quarters.

Chubb Limited (CB - Free Report) will report second-quarter 2026 results on July 21, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $6.60 per share, indicating an increase of 7.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

CB’s earnings beat estimates in the last four quarters.

W.R. Berkley Corporation (WRB - Free Report) will report second-quarter 2026 results on July 20, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $1.09, suggesting an increase of 3.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

WRB’s earnings beat estimates in three of the last four reported quarters, while missing in one.

In the second quarter, the Heartland Value Fund gained 17.05%, compared with the 17.19% return for the Russell 2000 Value Index. Earlier this year, we reduced our stake in Photronics, a leading manufacturer of photomasks that are used to transfer circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers and flat panel substrates during the fabrication process. i3 Verticals' shares slumped from around $34 last fall to below $20 in May over concerns that emerging automation and machine learning technologies are disrupting software stocks.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? Monster Beverage (MNST - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Beverages - Soft drinks industry, could be a great candidate to consider.

This energy drink maker has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 6.76%.

For the most recent quarter, Monster Beverage was expected to post earnings of $0.53 per share, but it reported $0.58 per share instead, representing a surprise of 9.43%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.49 per share, while it actually produced $0.51 per share, a surprise of 4.08%.

Price and EPS Surprise

For Monster Beverage, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially 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.

Monster Beverage has an Earnings ESP of +0.45% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner.

Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.

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.

Positioned highest for Ability to Execute among all vendors evaluated July 15, 2026 13:13 ET  | Source: Datadog, Inc.

NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the leading AI-powered observability and security platform, today announced it has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms, 2026. This is the sixth consecutive year Gartner has positioned Datadog as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant.

Datadog was positioned highest in Ability to Execute in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms.

"We believe being recognized as a Leader for the sixth consecutive year reflects the depth of investment Datadog has made in helping teams navigate the complexity of building AI- and LLM-powered applications,” said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. “Datadog invests more than $1 billion in R&D (non-GAAP) annually — from contributions to OpenTelemetry and OpenLineage to the capabilities we ship every day — because our customers need answers, not more complexity."

“Datadog gives our teams real-time visibility into how customers experience our products, allowing us to identify and resolve issues before they impact end users,” said Daniel Perschonok, VP of Cloud, Data, & Security Services at Experian Consumer Services. “When we launched our AI chatbot, EVA, LLM Observability provided immediate insight into model performance and customer interactions, helping us deliver a stable, high-quality AI experience from day one.”

Customer feedback is vital to Datadog’s product innovation. Below are some recent reviews of Datadog, a 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers' Choice for Observability Platforms, from the company’s profile on Gartner Peer Insights™:

“As an APM user, I have found Bits AI to be a significant improvement for troubleshooting and debugging,” said an IT associate at an IT services company. “In the past, effective debugging often required deep knowledge of the application and extensive experience investigating issues. Bits AI has made the process much easier by helping identify potential root causes and guiding the investigation more efficiently.”

“Datadog has been a game changer for us as we moved from a diversified set of products to a single unified platform for all of our observability needs,” said a software developer at a healthcare and biotech company. “We are better, faster and more aligned as a technology org throughout the entire development lifecycle and beyond.”

“Datadog has been a fantastic partner,” said a director of IT at a travel and hospitality company. “The product has become more useful every year and with the age of AI, we are seeing more useful features being introduced almost monthly. We also appreciate that the account team is very engaged with the enterprise and the product engineering team turns around feedback quickly.”

Datadog's unified observability and security platform breaks down organizational silos and enables IT operations, development, security, and business teams to collaborate more effectively and take action based on a single source of truth.

Bits Investigation autonomously investigates alerts, surfaces root cause, and recommends and takes action across systems, accelerating incident response and reducing outages.Agent Observability provides visibility into the performance, quality, security, and cost of AI agents and LLM apps, enabling safe and scalable adoption of AI-native workloads.End-to-end APM reduces mean time to resolution by connecting mobile and browser apps with backend services, providing deep visibility into every user action, line of code, and database query.Digital Experience Monitoring gives organizations complete visibility into how customers experience their mobile and web digital products and uniquely ties those experiences to backend systems and business outcomes.

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming July 27, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment, Inc. (“AeroVironment” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AVAV) securities between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR AEROVIRONMENT INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment disclosed that the US government had issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver BADGER phased array antenna systems to the US Space Force’s SCAR program. The Company stated the stop work order “allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program” and that “[t]he Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program.”

On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $61.97, or 15.8%, to close at $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the US Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and “reassessing how to move forward.”

On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $43.93, or 17.4%, to close at $208.32 per share on March 2, 2026.

Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment released its third quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, reporting an operating loss of $179 million, compared to $3.1 million the previous year. The results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment after the stop work order on the BADGER systems. The Company also revealed that the US Space Force had terminated the Company’s contract for the SCAR program and, as a result, it would have to “recompete” for the program.

On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $13.84, or 6.2%, to close at $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.

Then, on March 31, 2026, the US Space Force announced its decision to diversify suppliers and rely on less costly commercial, off-the-shelf solutions in connection with its work to upgrade the Satellite Control Network (“SCN”), instead of pursuing another single-vendor bespoke solution.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the SCAR program and the U.S. Space Force’s ongoing efforts to modernize the SCN; (2) accordingly, Defendants overstated AeroVironment’s business and financial prospects; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 27, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

This company, which is in the Zacks Medical - Outpatient and Home Healthcare industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.

This company has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 17.91%.

For the last reported quarter, Elanco Animal Health came out with earnings of $0.4 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.34 per share, representing a surprise of 17.65%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $0.11 per share and it actually produced earnings of $0.13 per share, delivering a surprise of 18.18%.
