Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (GDRX - Free Report) could be a solid addition to your portfolio given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.

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.

Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.

As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for GoodRx 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, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. 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 GoodRx 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.

Earnings Estimate Revisions for GoodRxFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this company is expected to earn $0.31 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.

Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for GoodRx. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 9.3%.

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 GoodRx 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.

Investors interested in Medical - Biomedical and Genetics stocks are likely familiar with Exelixis (EXEL - Free Report) and Illumina (ILMN - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.

The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.

Both Exelixis and Illumina have a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that both of these stocks have an improving earnings outlook since the Zacks Rank favors companies that have witnessed positive analyst estimate revisions. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in.

Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.

EXEL currently has a forward P/E ratio of 16.18, while ILMN has a forward P/E of 36.92. We also note that EXEL has a PEG ratio of 1.47. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. ILMN currently has a PEG ratio of 3.60.

Another notable valuation metric for EXEL is its P/B ratio of 7.41. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, ILMN has a P/B of 10.84.

These metrics, and several others, help EXEL earn a Value grade of B, while ILMN has been given a Value grade of C.

Both EXEL and ILMN are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that EXEL is the superior value option right now.

Key Takeaways APAC became Abercrombie & Fitch's fastest-growing region in Q1, with net sales up 24% and comps up 15%.Growth across Abercrombie and Hollister helped offset EMEA weakness tied to geopolitical tensions.Abercrombie & Fitch is reviewing partnerships and capital-light options to scale APAC with strong returns. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF - Free Report) views the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region as an increasingly important part of its long-term international growth strategy. While the company continues to generate the majority of its revenues from the Americas, APAC is demonstrating strong momentum and reinforcing management's confidence in the region's long-term potential. Rather than pursuing rapid expansion, Abercrombie & Fitch is taking a disciplined approach by evaluating the optimal go-to-market model, including partnerships and other capital-light opportunities that can support profitable, scalable growth. This measured strategy could allow the company to strengthen its presence while preserving financial flexibility.

The first quarter of fiscal 2026 highlighted APAC's growing importance. Regional net sales increased 24% year over year, following 5% growth in the prior-year quarter, while comparable sales advanced 15%, making APAC the company's fastest-growing geography. Growth was broad-based across both the Abercrombie and Hollister brands, helping offset weakness in EMEA, where geopolitical tensions weighed on demand. Encouraged by this performance, ANF said its ongoing strategic review aims to determine how best to scale the region while generating strong returns, with partnerships and capital-light expansion among the options under evaluation.

Looking ahead, APAC could become an increasingly meaningful contributor to Abercrombie & Fitch's global growth story if the company successfully expands its regional footprint while maintaining its disciplined operating model. Management emphasized that the strong fiscal first-quarter performance reinforces its belief in the sizeable long-term opportunity across the region, even as the strategic review continues. With healthy brand momentum, a modernized technology platform and a focus on scalable, high-return growth, APAC has the potential to complement the company's established Americas business and emerge as a more significant earnings driver over time.

ANF’s Zacks Rank & Share Price PerformanceShares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have lost 14% in the past three months, underperforming the industry’s decline of 2.8% and the broader Retail-Wholesale sector’s rise of 2.5%.

Is ANF a Value Play Stock?ANF currently trades at a forward 12-month P/E ratio of 8.05X, which is lower than the industry average of 14.51X and notably below the sector average of 22.74X. This valuation positions the stock at a modest discount relative to both its direct peers and the broader consumer staples sector.

MasTec, Inc. (MTZ) M&A Call Transcript

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY | JOBY Price Prediction) is developing commercial air taxis while its stock trades near a 52-week low. CEO JoeBen Bevirt calls 2026 “a key inflection point” for the eVTOL pioneer, with first passenger service in Dubai this year and a Toyota manufacturing joint venture in hand.

Yet shares sit at $8.92, down 32.42% year to date. Can this stock reach $53 by 2030, a 500% gain?

Why Joby Shares Are Stuck Despite an Improving Narrative The disconnect between story and price is severe. Over the past month JOBY is down 6.6%, and the one-year return sits at negative 15.45%. June brought a brutal Russell rebalancing that saw nearly 40% of the public float turn over, and short interest surged into summer.

Joby burned $509.9 million in operating cash in 2025 and another $144.4 million in Q1 2026. Stock-based compensation grew to $127.9 million last year, adding dilution on top of equity raises. With a beta of 2.706, every macro wobble hits harder here than in almost any stock. This is a market waiting for FAA certification proof.

Wall Street Sees 25% Upside. Our Model Says More. The analyst consensus target of $11.12 implies just 24.66% upside. The rating distribution is telling: 1 Strong Buy, 2 Buy, 5 Hold, 2 Sell, and 1 Strong Sell. Our model is more constructive.

The one-year base case sits at $11.69, with a bull case of $15.10. Stretch to five years and the bull case reaches $29.84, a 234.47% total return. Confidence is moderate at 0.5. Analysts anchored on 27% bullish sentiment are underweighting how quickly revenue could inflect once FAA type certification lands.

The Path to $53 Per Share Reaching $53 from today’s price of $8.92 requires a 494.2% gain. With forward EPS of negative $1.20, the forward multiple at $53 is negative 44x. Earnings must flip positive first, then compound rapidly. Joby needs revenue to explode from $53.4 million in 2025 through the $105 to $115 million guided for 2026, then toward projected $458 million by 2028.

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

The catalyst stack is real. The Toyota joint venture announced in late June (51% Toyota, 49% Joby) pushed shares up 10.54% on July 6 and brings a conditional $250 million second tranche. The Dayton facility targets 500 aircraft per year.

A Jefferies survey found 79% of respondents interested in trying eVTOLs. Bevirt says Joby has begun to “shift our focus from how and when we’ll go to market, to how many aircraft we can produce and where to deploy them.” The primary risk is FAA type certification slippage, which would push every downstream milestone right and force dilutive capital raises.

Where Joby Trades Today vs Its Earnings Power With forward EPS still negative at negative $1.20, forward P/E is not meaningful. Price-to-sales sits at a lofty 107.5x trailing revenue. Shares are 47% below the 52-week high of $20.95 and only 15% above the low of $7.75. Over five years the stock is down 10.44%. The bull case only works if 2026 to 2028 revenue delivers on guidance and unit economics turn positive.

Is $53 Realistic? My Verdict Reaching $53 by 2030 requires a 494.2% gain, well above even our five-year bull case of $29.84. It is a stretch case well beyond our base scenario.

Three things must go right: FAA type certification lands on schedule, the Toyota manufacturing venture drives cost per aircraft down materially, and Dubai plus U.S. eIPP operations validate real passenger economics. Another year of certification delay would force dilutive capital raises and derail the thesis. We’ve outlined the blueprint for how Joby Aviation could reach $53 in 2030.

Key Takeaways URBN's Nuuly revenues rose 34.5% in Q1 fiscal 2027, driven by continued subscriber growth.Nuuly added about 110,000 subscribers year over year, nearing 500,000 active subscribers.URBN's Nuuly posted a $10M operating profit with a 6% operating margin as scale improved profitability. Urban Outfitters Inc. (URBN - Free Report) Nuuly subscription business continues to stand out as one of the company’s fastest-growing segments, reinforcing the value of its diversified operating model. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Nuuly generated $167.3 million in revenues, representing a 34.5% year-over-year increase. The performance was primarily driven by continued growth in subscribers, highlighting rising consumer acceptance of apparel rental as a complementary alternative to traditional retail.

Subscriber expansion remained the key growth catalyst. Average active subscribers increased 33% year over year, adding roughly 110,000 subscribers versus the prior-year period. Management noted that the platform is now approaching 500,000 active subscribers, reflecting sustained demand and effective customer acquisition efforts. Healthy retention rates, combined with targeted marketing campaigns, continue to support consistent subscriber growth and strengthen customer engagement.

Nuuly's financial performance also demonstrated improving operating efficiency. The business generated $10 million in operating profit, translating into a 6% operating margin during the quarter. Operating leverage from the expanding subscriber base more than offset continued investments in marketing, underscoring the platform's ability to scale profitably while maintaining a disciplined approach to long-term growth.

Profitability also continued to improve as Nuuly scaled its operations. Subscription segment gross profit increased 39%, while the gross margin expanded by 85 basis points to 28.7%. Higher sales, supported by a growing subscriber base, helped drive stronger unit economics and demonstrated the business's ability to generate increasing profitability alongside rapid revenue growth.

Management remains focused on expanding Nuuly while improving profitability. The company believes its ability to grow subscribers alongside stronger operating economics highlights the scalability of the business and reinforces confidence in its significant long-term growth potential. Our model estimates that the net sales of the Nuuly segment will increase 20% year over year in fiscal 2027.

First-of-its-kind system combines flight display, IFR GPS, NAV/COMM and audio panel capability into a single display for certified, experimental and LSA (MOSAIC) aircraft

, /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced AXIS™, an all-new family of flight displays, designed from the ground up to offer a highly integrated and flexible cockpit display solution. AXIS brings Garmin's latest avionics technology to certified piston-powered single and twin1 engine aircraft via an expansive AML STC covering hundreds of models, as well as experimental and LSA aircraft. In an industry-first, AXIS flight displays come in a variety of models that can include a built-in IFR GPS, NAV/COMM radio, and audio panel capability – creating an integrated solution that enhances the user experience, reduces aircraft weight, and simplifies installation. Also compatible with many of the same navigators, radios, modules and sensors as Garmin's popular G3X Touch™ flight displays, AXIS features an easy upgrade path, including leveraging the same panel cutouts and mounting points.

Garmin unveils AXIS, a new generation of highly integrated flight displays "AXIS redefines Garmin's flight display portfolio and brings industry-first capability to a single flight display. This game-changing flight display system delivers a modern, highly capable cockpit experience while significantly reducing time, complexity and cost of installation through integration of navigation, communication and audio functions into a single flight display. The visual design elements and crisp user interface bring together decades of Garmin innovation in a familiar yet modern design. AXIS sets the new standard for what pilots can expect from an integrated flight display system." 
–Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support 

A next-level flight display system

The AXIS family of flight displays features three display sizes — 11.6-inch landscape, 8-inch portrait1 and 8-inch landscape1— that include highly responsive touchscreen displays as well as physical controls for quick access to key functions. Each display can be configured as a primary flight display (PFD) or multi-function display (MFD) with an optional engine indication system (EIS). Pilots can maximize their situational awareness with full-screen or split-screen options, leveraging a familiar yet modernized user interface. The flight displays are configurable for both experimental and certified aircraft and provide incredible flexibility for installation across many aircraft types.

First-of-its-kind integration

AXIS 11.6-inch displays are optionally available with a TSO certified IFR GPS, COMM radio, NAV radio and audio panel all built into a single display. This combined capability from a single display creates a highly integrated panel experience and enables a simpler and more cost-effective installation. The VHF COMM radio offers 10 watts of transmit power, supports 8.33khz frequency tuning and standby COMM monitoring, allowing pilots to monitor a standby frequency while tuned to the active ATC frequency. Pilots can access the flight plan across displays and easily load waypoints or VORs, holds, GPS and ILS procedures and more. The built-in 4-place intercom audio panel includes dual-comm switching with support for one external radio, comm playback and Bluetooth capability for music and phone calls. Available in three certified (TSO) variants, the base version offers a PFD/MFD, while the GPS/COMM and GPS/NAV/COMM models include an IFR GPS and integrated audio panel. Experimental and LSA aircraft can leverage both certified and non-TSO versions of the 11.6-inch displays.

Enhanced situational awareness

Important information is easily accessible on the PFD including primary flight data, as well as the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) which can include an embedded map or traffic view. Widgets provide additional situational awareness on the PFD by displaying three compact views of MFD functions including map, flight plan, weather, traffic and more. Enhanced Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) provides 3D depictions of terrain, obstacles, runway and taxiway markings and more, allowing for pilots to clearly interpret their surroundings. Pathway rectangles will help pilots to visualize the highway in the sky, depicting their flight path including enroute legs, flight track, course intercepts and more. Additionally, 3D SafeTaxi® provides pilots with a three-dimensional, exocentric view of the airport environment directly on their PFD, reducing potential confusion by giving a clear, localized picture of taxiways, runways, hangars and surrounding buildings.

The MFD features dynamic mapping, ADS-B traffic2, weather2, waypoint information (including terminal charts) and expanded EIS. Additionally, an HDMI video input on each display allows for live-camera video monitoring.

Innovative safety tools

AXIS supports many of Garmin's award-winning safety enhancing technologies. A dedicated emergency button is located on the display bezel, allowing pilots to quickly access emergency procedure options if needed. Smart Glide™ – a Garmin Autonomí™ technology – helps pilots in loss of engine power emergencies by efficiently navigating to an airport in range and, if the aircraft is equipped with either a GFC™ 500 or GFC 600, the system can auto-engage to fly the aircraft enroute.

Terminal safety solutions include award-winning Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA), a solution that uses ADS-B traffic to alert the crew of potential runway incursions caused by nearby airborne aircraft, taxiing aircraft and ground vehicles. Additionally, optional SurfaceWatch™ runway monitoring technology provides general situational awareness in airport environments as well as visual and aural cues to help prevent pilots from taking off or landing on a taxiway.

Advanced engine monitoring

The EIS within AXIS provides aircraft with real-time data to help better manage engine operation and protect aircraft engines. Large, prominent engine gauges provide color-coded pointers and data bands that indicate normal operating ranges, cautions and exceedances. Bar gauges display numerical values for additional precision. With an interface adapter and sensors, AXIS can serve as the primary EIS display in piston-powered aircraft equipped with most normally aspirated or turbocharged 4- to 6-cylinder engines, plus radial and turbine-powered experimental aircraft3. Upon landing, flight and engine data logs can be automatically uploaded to flyGarmin.com via the Garmin Pilot™ app or the GDL® 60 datalink1 and PlaneSync™ service. Pilots can optionally choose to share these logs with analysis services such as FlySto or SavvyAviation to gain deeper insights on engine health, maintenance updates, flight analysis and more.

Stay connected

Advanced connectivity options allow pilots to stay more connected than ever before. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow pilots to connect with Garmin Pilot in-flight as well as share GPS, traffic, weather, flight plans and more. PlaneSync, powered by the GDL 60 datalink1, will support automatic database downloads3, remote aircraft status4 as well as automatic flight log uploading. A built-in USB-C data port supports data transfer capabilities like downloading databases and offloading flight logs. The USB-C port will also support device charging up to 27W. Additionally, Database Concierge allows pilots to download updates to their Garmin Pilot app and wirelessly transfer to their compatible avionics via a compatible mobile device.

Team X simplifies installations

Team X – the experimental aircraft specialists at Garmin – were the voice for experimental builders and pilots throughout the development of AXIS. Composed of engineers, pilots and aircraft builders, they understand the flexibility and affordability needed to execute an experimental aircraft build.

Key Takeaways NVTS is targeting 800V AI power systems with new GaN and SiC products for AI power systems.NVTS launched new GaN and SiC products, with multiple AI projects advancing toward commercial production.NVTS' AI infrastructure revenues rose 50% sequentially as high-power markets drove first-quarter growth. Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS - Free Report) is positioning itself to benefit from the growing shift toward 800-volt (800V) power architecture in AI data centers. As AI workloads become more power-intensive, hyperscalers are moving to higher-voltage power systems to improve efficiency and support higher power levels. This shift is expected to increase the demand for NVTS' gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power chips and create a significant growth opportunity for the company's high-power business.

The move to 800V power systems increases the amount of GaN and SiC content used in each AI system. Management expects power supply units to increase from about 5-10 kilowatts to 18.5 kilowatts for NVIDIA systems and up to 25-30 kilowatts for other hyperscalers. As power levels increase, Navitas expects the amount of SiC content per rack to increase by about 2.5 times. GaN demand is expected to rise as more power conversion moves inside AI racks, where higher efficiency and faster switching are needed. These factors create a larger revenue opportunity per AI system for NVTS.

To support this opportunity, Navitas has launched new GaN and SiC products for AI power systems. During the first quarter of 2026, the company launched a 20-kilowatt 800V-to-6V GaN platform for AI data centers and introduced new Gen 5 SiC products for AI power supplies. The above-mentioned products are being tested by OEMs and power supply vendors, and several projects have moved from device-level testing to board-level testing, bringing them closer to commercial production.

The AI opportunity is already supporting the company's business. Revenues in the first quarter increased 18% sequentially, driven by growth in high-power markets. Further, AI infrastructure revenues grew 50% sequentially, and the company expects this business to continue growing through 2026. As more AI data centers adopt 800V power systems, Navitas is well-positioned to benefit from higher chip content and increasing demand for its power semiconductor products.

How Competitors Fare Against NVTSThe company faces strong competition from ON Semiconductor (ON - Free Report) and STMicroelectronics (STM - Free Report) in the race to supply high-voltage solutions for AI data centers.

In June 2026, ON Semiconductor introduced GaNEXUS, a new GaN power semiconductor portfolio designed for AI data centers, industrial automation, robotics and energy infrastructure applications. This new portfolio includes GaNEXUS FETs with voltage ratings from 40V to 650V, along with 650V GaNEXUS Smart devices that include built-in protection features to simplify system design and improve reliability. The new devices provide faster switching speeds, lower switching losses, higher power density and better thermal performance than conventional silicon-based power devices to help customers build smaller and more efficient power systems.

STMicroelectronics introduced new 700V GaN power semiconductors in May 2026, designed to improve energy efficiency and power density in AI servers, robotics, industrial systems and advanced consumer applications. The new PowerGaN devices are designed for high-voltage power supplies and support reliable operation in high-power applications. The devices should help improve power conversion efficiency beyond what is possible with conventional silicon-based technologies.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

Featuring 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, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow 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.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

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

Stock to Watch: Copa Holdings (CPA - Free Report) Copa Holdings is based in Panama City, Panama. The company, through its main subsidiaries — Copa Airlines and Copa Colombia — offers airline passenger and cargo services. Copa Airlines was founded in 1947. Copa Columbia was purchased in 2005.

CPA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 9.03; value investors should take notice.

For fiscal 2026, four analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $2.33 to $16.54 per share. CPA boasts an average earnings surprise of +6.5%.

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

Shares of TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) are up 12% to $22.67 in mid-morning trading, leading a broad rebound across AI-infrastructure names that were hammered on Tuesday. IREN (NASDAQ:IREN) stock is up 7% to $42.55, while peers Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) and Cipher Mining (NASDAQ:CIFR) are up 3% to $31.53 and up 5% to $21.45, respectively.

Today’s move mirrors yesterday’s decline, when TeraWulf shares dropped 8%, IREN slid 7%, and Applied Digital fell 6%. There’s no fresh company-specific catalyst driving the bounce. Instead, the group is riding a broader risk-on tape, with beaten-down Chinese tech and other high-beta names also rebounding.

All four are former Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) miners repurposing power and data-center capacity for AI compute leasing. That pivot has made them among the most volatile names in the market, and today’s snap-back is a reminder of how quickly sentiment can flip in the neocloud cohort.

TeraWulf Leads the Rebound TeraWulf stock is the standout mover today. The underlying bull story remains its previously announced 20-year, roughly $19 billion Anthropic AI data-center lease, disclosed earlier this week. That contract anchors a long-tail revenue stream tied directly to AI compute demand.

Beyond Anthropic, TeraWulf continues to scale its high-performance computing (HPC) platform. TeraWulf’s HPC lease revenue hit $21.02 million in Q1 FY2026, more than 60% of total revenue, and the company recently closed a $1 billion equity raise to fund its Hawesville, Kentucky campus. Moreover, the company’s total contracted revenue exceeds $13 billion across anchor tenants including Core42, Fluidstack, and Alphabet‘s (NASDAQ:GOOGL | GOOGL Price Prediction) Google.

Despite this week’s whipsaw, TeraWulf shares are up 99% year to date (YTD), making WULF one of the strongest performers in the group. The consensus analyst target price of $36.32 sits well above current levels, and Wall Street ratings skew heavily positive with five strong buys and 12 buys.

IREN, Applied Digital and Cipher Mining Ride Along IREN stock is bouncing without any discrete headline. The company’s landmark five-year, $3.4 billion AI Cloud contract with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), paired with up to $2.1 billion in NVIDIA investment vesting as GPU infrastructure scales, remains the centerpiece of its AI Cloud pivot. IREN shares are up 12% YTD despite a rough June.

The same investor newsletter that told subscribers to buy Amazon in 2002, Netflix in 2004, and Nvidia in 2005 still publishes two new stock picks every month. Over 23 years, Motley Fool's Stock Advisor has more than quadrupled the S&P 500. New members get this month's picks, the Top 10 Rankings, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Click here to unlock their next top stocks while new members are still being accepted.

Applied Digital shares are grinding higher after a bruising week. The company recently reported Q3 FY2026 revenue of $126.64 million, up 139% year over year (YoY), and signed a 15-year lease with an investment-grade hyperscaler for 200 MW at Polaris Forge 2. Applied Digital stock is up 25% YTD.

Cipher Mining stock is extending a strong 2026, with the rebranded Cipher Digital holding 700 MW of contracted HPC capacity plus anchor leases with Fluidstack/Google and Amazon‘s (NASDAQ:AMZN) AWS targeting October 2026 energization. Cipher Mining shares are up 39% YTD, and Needham recently raised its price target to $25.

Bull Case vs. Bear Case The bull case for the AI-infrastructure cohort is straightforward. Hyperscaler capex is running at eye-watering rates, power is the binding constraint, and these companies control gigawatts of contracted capacity. Multi-year leases with credit-enhanced anchor tenants transform historically cyclical Bitcoin miners into utility-like AI landlords.

The bear case is equally important, however. These are pre-profit, highly volatile names that can swing sharply in both directions. TeraWulf reported an EPS loss of -$1.01 in Q1 FY2026, weighed by a $216.32 million non-cash warrant revaluation charge, and IREN posted a Q3 FY2026 net loss of $247.8 million. This week’s action, an 8% drop followed by an 11% bounce, tells the story on volatility.

What to Watch Today’s rebound needs to hold into the close to confirm the reversal thesis. Investors can watch how AI-adjacent names trade alongside the broader risk-on tape, and whether analyst follow-through emerges on TeraWulf’s Anthropic lease. For those building exposure to the neocloud theme, position sizing should stay modest given the volatility profile these stocks have shown all year.

Traders may keep TeraWulf, IREN, Applied Digital, and Cipher Mining shares active through the afternoon. A close near session highs would set up a constructive tone heading into the next batch of hyperscaler capex updates.

Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX +1.82%) went public last month, and out of the gate, it was red hot, rising to nearly $226 -- a big increase from the $150 it opened at on its first trading day. Since then, however, the stock, which more commonly goes by just SpaceX, has been falling, and on Tuesday it was back to around the $150 mark again.

The stock has effectively given back those early gains, virtually assuring that just about anyone who bought in those early days is in the red. Has the excitement already faded for the stock, and could it be headed for more of a decline, or is now a good opportunity to buy SpaceX?

Image source: Getty Images.

Trading volumes have come down significantly There was huge interest in SpaceX when its shares began trading nearly a month ago. The new public offering was eagerly anticipated, and investors were looking for ways to gain exposure to the space company even before its shares began trading, including by investing in stocks that had positions in SpaceX. Trading levels were through the roof, but there's clearly less excitement around the stock these days, as volumes have dropped considerably in the past few weeks.

SPCX Volume data by YCharts

Naturally, there will be a bit of a decline after the initial rush to buy an initial public offering. However, with the decline in both the share price and trading volume, it could very well be an indication that investors are beginning to think a bit more carefully about the stock, particularly since its valuation is astronomical. Although it has come down in price, SpaceX stock still trades at around 110 times its trailing revenue.

SpaceX stock still isn't worth buying Many investors were eager to buy SpaceX stock regardless of how obscene and illogical its valuation was when it began trading, and are now facing losses that could grow even bigger as the stock may still have more room to fall. This is, after all, an unprofitable company, and while it has grand visions for travel to Mars and putting data centers into space, those are highly ambitious objectives that may take many years to become reality, assuming the company can come through on them at all.

SpaceX is the only stock that has a $2 trillion valuation or more, and that doesn't have a highly profitable and successful business. That math on its valuation just doesn't work, and investors who buy without taking that into consideration could incur mammoth losses. The stock's decline may just be getting started.

CNBC's MacKenzie Sigalos reports on news regarding Apple.

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.

Featuring 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, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.

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 ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow 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, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure 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.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

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

Stock to Watch: Meta Platforms (META - Free Report) Meta Platforms is the world’s largest social media platform. The company’s portfolio has evolved from the Facebook app to multiple apps, including photo and video sharing app Instagram and WhatsApp messaging app, largely through acquisitions. Along with in-house developed Messenger and newer services such as Threads, these products form Meta’s Family of Apps, which reached about 3.56 billion daily active people on average in March 2026.

META is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. META has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 5.3% over the past four weeks.

Two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.18 to $33.11 per share. META also boasts an average earnings surprise of +12.3%.

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

Meta Platforms (META 1.76%) recently made a big announcement that caused neocloud stocks like Nebius (NBIS +4.51%) and Iren (IREN +2.90%) to stumble. Facebook's parent company said it would explore building its own neocloud business and renting out its excess compute capacity.

That aligns with the company's earlier announcement of intent to build tens of gigawatts of AI data centers this decade and hundreds of gigawatts of capacity over time. However, investors shouldn't rush to imagine Meta Platforms running a vibrant neocloud division under its corporate umbrella.

Meta Platforms needs more compute Companies like Nebius and Iren aren't using the data center capacity they're building to develop their own large language models or physical AI systems. They are AI enablers.

Meta Platforms still needs computing power for its own initiatives, such as AI models and smart glasses. It's also using artificial intelligence to enhance the effectiveness of the advertising on its platforms to drive more revenue.

Meta Platforms signed a bunch of deals last year to obtain more computing power to support its AI ambitions, and that trend continued this year. It has already inked extended agreements with CoreWeave and Nebius. 

The fact that Meta Platforms is still scrambling to sign these types of deals shows that it won't have available compute capacity to lease to other companies anytime soon. Other hyperscalers and AI giants are also ramping up these types of deals. For instance, Anthropic recently secured 401 megawatts of capacity from Terawulf via a 20-year, $19 billion contract.

There isn't enough cloud computing capacity in Meta Platforms' grasp to run its own AI businesses and supply more to outside enterprises. As long as this gap exists, Meta Platforms won't have an immediate path into the neocloud industry.

AI data centers take years to build Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his desire to build many AI data centers for the company, but each of those projects will take years to complete. For instance, Meta Platforms' Hyperion project won't be completed until 2030. That will be a massive 5-gigawatt (5,000-megawatt) data center upon completion, but considering how Meta Platforms' demands for in-house compute are rising, it's tough to predict how much of that capacity it will be able to make available for smaller enterprises.

When it comes to the neocloud opportunity, Meta Platforms is sitting on the fence. It's primarily an online advertising company that is on the verge of tapping into artificial intelligence in ways that translate into meaningful revenue growth. This technology could finally help Meta Platforms meaningfully diversify beyond online ads, just as Alphabet did more than a decade ago.

However, when it comes to neocloud, companies like Iren and Nebius have better shots at gaining market share and winning over hyperscalers and small enterprises alike. By the time Meta Platforms is ready to enter the neocloud arena in a meaningful way, Iren and Nebius may have more than doubled their existing gigawatt inventories.

Investors should be excited about Meta's AI glasses, which were recently released. We should get an update about that product when it delivers its second-quarter report. However, what Meta's entry into the neocloud industry might look like remains to be determined.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) and BYD (OTC:BYDDF) sit at opposite ends of the electric vehicle capital cycle. Tesla just posted Q1 revenue of $22.39B alongside surging AI spending, while BYD keeps compounding units and cash. The contrast has rarely been sharper, and the market is finally pricing it.

Robotaxi Theater Meets Export Reality Tesla’s Q1 FY2026 print showed automotive gross margin expanding to 21.1% from 16.2% and FSD active subscriptions of 1.28M, up 51% YoY. Yet operating expenses jumped 37% year over year on AI R&D and CEO stock-based comp, and free cash flow was just $1.44B against $2.49B in CapEx. That is a company funding a moonshot from a shrinking runway.

BYD, in contrast, entered 2026 with an upgraded export target of 1.5 million units, anchored by its vertically integrated Blade Battery supply chain. Shares are up 14.31% over the past week as global order visibility firms. Tesla, meanwhile, is down 10.41% year to date.

Capital Guzzler Versus Cash-Flow Compounder Tesla’s FY2025 capital story tells the tale. Operating cash flow of $14.7B was gutted by $8.5B in CapEx, and net income collapsed to $3.9B, down roughly 46% from 2024. Stock-based comp swelled to $2.8B. Management is now steering into a $25 billion 2026 CapEx budget that pushes free cash flow negative for the balance of the year.

Lens Tesla BYD Core Bet Robotaxi, Optimus, FSD subscriptions Vertically integrated EV exports Forward P/E 200 Materially lower on global consensus Key Vulnerability Capital burn, SBC dilution China tariff and geopolitical drag Tesla trades at a trailing P/E of 382 on operating margin of 4.2%. That valuation rests on promises rather than the hardware business underneath.

The Next Test Is Whether Robotaxis Actually Ship Prediction markets are unusually blunt here. Polymarket traders assign only a 10.5% probability that Tesla launches robotaxis in California by December 31, 2026, and just 13% odds on an Optimus release by year end. That is a crowd calling the timeline aspirational. Analyst consensus target sits at $423, barely above the $402.90 close.

I will be watching whether Tesla can convert Cybercab pilot production into revenue before the CapEx bill lands. For BYD, the question is whether Europe and Southeast Asia absorb the export ramp without triggering fresh tariff walls.

Why the Setup Favors BYD Here If you want capital efficiency and units on the road today, BYD is the cleaner story. Its cash generation funds its own expansion, and the export ramp is happening in real time. Tesla still deserves a seat at the table if you believe in autonomy at scale, but paying 200 times forward earnings for that belief feels rich when insiders are net sellers and free cash flow is compressing. I would rather own the cash-flow-positive global scaler and revisit Tesla when the CapEx cycle breaks. Skepticism, in this pair, is the position.
