Key Takeaways HON is expected to report lower Q2 earnings and revenues after its aerospace business spin-off.HON faces pressure from automation softness, project delays, higher costs and foreign exchange headwinds.HON sees strength in building automation, supported by data center and health care projects. Honeywell Technologies (HON - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on July 23, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is currently pegged at $1.80 per share on revenues of $4.98 billion.

HON’s second-quarter earnings estimates have declined 60.9% over the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues indicates a year-over-year decline of 51.9%.

It is worth noting that on June 29, 2026, Honeywell Technologies became a standalone public company following the spin-off of the Aerospace Technologies business from Honeywell International. The spin-off is likely to have weighed on its year-over-year top and-bottom-line comparison.

Earnings Surprise HistoryHoneywell Technologies’ earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.7%. In the last reported quarter, it delivered an earnings surprise of 6.1%.

Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Honeywell Technologies this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as elaborated below.

Earnings ESP: HON has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the Most Accurate Estimate are pegged at $1.80. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Zacks Rank: HON presently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Factors to Note Ahead of Honeywell Technologies’ Q2 ResultsHoneywell Technologies’ Process Automation and Technology segment is expected to have put up a weak show in the quarter due to softness in the aftermarket business with lower refining catalyst shipments and project delays. Also, reduced customer demand in the Middle East due to ongoing geopolitical tensions is likely to have hurt the segment’s performance in the second quarter. Honeywell Technologies anticipates the Middle East conflict to have an adverse impact on sales by 1% in the second quarter. However, growth in orders across petrochemical and refining verticals in the segment bodes well.

Recovery in the Industrial Automation segment, driven by favorable project timing, is likely to augment its results. However, the divestment of its Personal Protective Equipment business is anticipated to weigh on the segment’s results.

Nevertheless, healthy demand for its products and solutions, led by increasing building projects, particularly in North America, is expected to drive the Building Automation segment’s results. Increasing order rates and capex investments in data centers and health care projects are likely to have been a tailwind as well.

Over time, HON’s performance has been adversely impacted by high costs and expenses. Higher direct and indirect material costs and investments in digital infrastructure and business restructuring activities are expected to have pushed up the company’s operating expenses, which are likely to have reflected in its margins.

Also, given HON's extensive geographic presence, its operations are subject to foreign exchange headwinds. A stronger U.S. dollar is likely to have hurt its overseas business.

HON’s Price PerformanceFollowing the spin-off of the Aerospace business, HON’s shares have inched down 1.2% compared with the Zacks Diversified Operations industry’s 3.1% decline and the S&P 500’s 0.1% growth. Shares of its key rivals like Rockwell Automation (ROK - Free Report) and Emerson Electric Co. (EMR - Free Report) are down 4.2% and 2.3%, respectively, over the same time frame.

Stock ValuationHoneywell Technologies is currently trading at a forward 12-month P/E of 25.00X, a premium compared with the industry’s 15.08X. In comparison with HON’s valuation, Emerson Electric is trading cheaper, while Rockwell Automation is trading at a premium. Notably, Emerson Electric and Rockwell Automation are currently trading at 19.91X and 32.20X, respectively.

Price-to-Earnings (Forward 12 Months)

Investment ThesisThe persistence of Honeywell Technologies’ near-term challenges, such as weakness in the Process Automation and Technology and Industrial Automation units along with rising costs and expenses, is limiting its near-term prospects.

Although the separation of the Aerospace business will likely provide HON with improved operational focus on the industrial automation business, the spin-off is likely to weigh on its top and-bottom-line results in the quarters ahead.

Final Take on HONHoneywell Technologies’ market leadership position, diversified product portfolio and strong dealer network provide it with a competitive advantage to leverage the long-term demand prospects in industrial markets. However, weakness in aftermarket business, project delays and rising operating expenses pose a threat to the company’s near-term catalysts.

The downward estimate revision activity in earnings and expensive valuation warrant a cautious approach for existing investors. Potential investors should consider waiting for HON’s earnings report and clearer signs of recovery before investing in the stock.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU) between August 22, 2025 and May 20, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 8, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Intuit 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 Intuit class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/intuit-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 September 8, 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) they had overstated Intuit's competitive advantages and growth, as well as the overall strength and sustainability of its business model and operations; (2) in reality, Intuit was losing significant business in its tax-related business, particularly in its Turbo Tax business, as a result of, inter alia, increasing competitive and pricing pressures; (3) accordingly, Intuit's previously issued full year ("FY") 2026 TurboTax revenue growth guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

For much of the past three years, artificial intelligence has been the market’s defining investment theme. Companies building AI chips, cloud infrastructure, memory, and software have driven earnings growth while many other stocks have struggled to keep pace. That leadership is becoming even more concentrated. 

Fresh market data suggests fewer companies are responsible for pushing the Nasdaq higher, raising understandable concerns about how durable this bull market really is. Yet market history also shows that narrow leadership doesn’t automatically signal the end of a rally. Sometimes it’s simply the price investors pay for owning the market’s fastest-growing businesses.

Market Breadth Is Sending Mixed Signals According to data from SentimentTrader, 48% of Nasdaq 100 stocks now trade at least 20% below their previous highs. That figure has doubled over the past 12 months and marks the highest reading since the February-March selloff.

On the surface, that’s a warning sign. Nearly half of the index is already in correction territory despite the Nasdaq hovering near record levels.

At the same time, another statistic tells a very different story — 64% of Nasdaq 100 companies remain above their 200-day moving average, one of the strongest readings of the year. Before the market bottomed on March 30, only 38% traded above that long-term trend line.

Those figures don’t describe a market that’s broadly collapsing. Instead, they point to one where leadership is narrowing while the overall trend remains positive.

A handful of tech giants are carrying the entire market on their backs. While AI fundamentals remain strong, the growing divide between leaders and laggards reveals a high-stakes balancing act for investors. © 24/7 Wall St. AI Leaders Continue To Carry The Load The market’s biggest winners continue to produce the strongest fundamental results. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) are still investing tens of billions of dollars — some, hundreds of billions — into AI infrastructure while reporting revenue and earnings growth that most companies can only envy.

Those investments also reinforce one another. Massive cloud spending fuels demand for Nvidia’s AI accelerators, which increases orders for advanced memory from suppliers like Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and SK hynix. The AI ecosystem continues feeding itself.

That helps explain why investors keep returning to the same handful of companies even as many smaller technology stocks lag.

Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.

Granted, concentration always raises risk. When fewer companies account for a larger share of index gains, disappointing earnings, slower AI spending, or delayed returns on AI investments could trigger a sharper correction. Narrow rallies have often become vulnerable once investor sentiment changes.

History supports that caution. Market breadth frequently weakens before broader corrections emerge.

Narrow Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Finished Ironically, today’s conditions still look healthier than true bear markets. During the 2022 decline, roughly 80% of Nasdaq 100 stocks traded at least 20% below their highs. Today’s 48% reading is elevated but nowhere near those levels.

Perhaps more importantly, corporate fundamentals remain much stronger than they were three years ago. AI capital spending continues expanding, enterprise adoption is accelerating, and earnings estimates for many technology leaders continue moving higher rather than lower.

Markets can remain narrow for surprisingly long periods. Much of the rally since 2023 has followed this exact pattern without preventing the Nasdaq from reaching new highs.

Key Takeaway In short, weakening market breadth deserves attention, but it doesn’t yet outweigh the forces supporting this bull market. The biggest AI companies continue generating the strongest earnings growth, and 64% of Nasdaq 100 stocks remain above their 200-day moving averages, indicating the broader trend is still intact.

Ultimately, the greater risk isn’t that narrow leadership automatically ends the rally. It’s that investors become too dependent on a handful of companies delivering near-perfect execution. As long as AI spending, data center construction, and corporate earnings continue growing, this bull market may have more room to run — even if fewer stocks are doing most of the work. Smart investors should monitor breadth closely, but today’s data suggests caution, not panic.

Costco, Fastenal, and Visa all pass Warren Buffett's classic quality screen, but passing the quality test and clearing the valuation bar are two very different things. One of these compounders is a trap at current prices, one deserves patience, and one looks like the setup Buffett himself would recognize.

CVS Health (CVS) is executing a significant turnaround, with new management driving operational improvements and a doubling of the share price since I last wrote in early 2025. CVS's fundamentals are solid: debt leverage is declining, cash flow is robust, and the Health Care Benefits segment's margin rebounded to 8.5% as of 1Q2026. Despite improved profitability and projected 10–15% annual EPS growth, CVS stock no longer appears to be in the bargain bin.

, /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE : BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc.

Bitmine Weekly Update

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

ALCHEMY OF 5%: BMNR ranked #187 by 5D avg daily $ volume Au 19 juillet 2026 à 20 h 30 (heure de l'Est), le portefeuille de cryptomonnaies de la Société se composait de 5 777 468 ETH, au cours de 1 879 dollars par ETH (selon Coinbase, NASDAQ : COIN), 207 Bitcoin (BTC), une participation de 180 millions de dollars dans Beast Industries, une participation de 58 millions de dollars dans Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ : ORBS) (« moonshots ») et un total de liquidités et de titres négociables s'élevant à 385 millions de dollars. Les avoirs en ETH de Bitmine représentent 4,8 % de l'offre totale d'ETH (qui s'élève à 120,7 millions d'ETH).

« Bitmine a racheté environ 5,5 millions d'actions ordinaires au cours de la semaine écoulée, à un prix moyen de 15,6156 dollars. Nous considérons que le rachat de nos actions ordinaires contribue à la création de valeur pour les actionnaires », a déclaré Thomas « Tom » Lee, président de Bitmine.

Bitmine a procédé au rachat de 5,5 millions d'actions ordinaires dans le cadre du programme de rachat d'actions de 4 milliards de dollars autorisé au préalable. 

« Au cours de la semaine écoulée, nous avons acquis 7 430 ETH. Le ralentissement des achats s'explique par le rachat par Bitmine de 5,5 millions d'actions ordinaires. Bitmine a acheté des ETH chaque semaine depuis le lancement de la stratégie de trésorerie ETH, le 30 juin 2025 », a déclaré M. Lee.

Le 16 juillet 2026, Bitmine a publié le dernier message du président (lien ici) pour le mois de juillet 2026. Le titre du message est « ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth » (L'ETH est le remède à la vallée dérangeante de la richesse).

Au début de l'année 2026, Bitmine a lancé MAVAN (Made in American VAlidator Network), une plateforme de staking destinée aux investisseurs institutionnels. Alors que MAVAN a été initialement développée pour soutenir la propre trésorerie Ethereum de Bitmine, la plateforme a aujourd'hui vocation à se développer pour servir les investisseurs institutionnels, les dépositaires et les partenaires de l'écosystème à la recherche d'une infrastructure de staking de premier ordre. Une partie des ETH de Bitmine est déjà mise en staking sur la plateforme MAVAN.

Au 19 juillet 2026, le montant total d'ETH mis en staking par Bitmine s'élève à 4 917 189 (soit 9,2 milliards de dollars, à 1 879 dollars par ETH). « Bitmine a mis en staking plus d'ETH que toute autre entité dans le monde. À grande échelle (lorsque les ETH de Bitmine sont entièrement mis en staking par MAVAN et ses partenaires de staking), la récompense prévue pour le staking d'ETH est de 290 millions de dollars sur une base annualisée (en utilisant un rendement de 2,67 % sur 7 jours pour BMNR) », a déclaré M. Lee.

« Les recettes annualisées issues du staking sont désormais estimées à 247 millions de dollars. Et ces 4,9 millions d'ETH représentent 85 % des 5,78  millions d'ETH détenus par Bitmine. Les opérations de staking de Bitmine ont généré un rendement sur 7 jours de 2,67 % (annualisé) », a poursuivi M. Lee.

Les avoirs en cryptomonnaies de Bitmine figurent en première place des trésoreries Ethereum et en deuxième place au niveau mondial, derrière Strategy Inc., qui détiendrait 843 775 BTC évalués à environ 50 milliards de dollars. Bitmine reste la plus importante trésorerie d'ETH au monde. 

Bitmine est l'une des actions les plus négociées aux États-Unis. Selon les données de Fundstrat, le titre a enregistré un volume quotidien moyen de transactions de 579 millions de dollars (moyenne sur 5 jours, au 17 juillet 2026), se classant ainsi à la 187ᵉ place aux États-Unis, derrière AirBnB (186ᵉ) et devant Fastenal (188ᵉ) parmi les 5 704 titres cotés aux États-Unis (statista.com et étude Fundstrat).

La direction de Bitmine estime que la loi GENIUS et le projet Crypto de la Securities and Exchange Commission (la « SEC ») sont aussi transformateurs pour les services financiers en 2025 que l'action des États-Unis, le 15 août 1971, qui a mis fin à Bretton Woods et à l'étalon-or du dollar américain il y a 54 ans. Cet événement de 1971 a été le catalyseur de la modernisation de Wall Street, créant les titans emblématiques de Wall Street et les réseaux financiers et de paiement d'aujourd'hui. Ceux-ci se sont avérés être de meilleurs investissements que l'or.

LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Roblox Corporation (“Roblox” or “the Company”) (NYSE: RBLX) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company’s securities between October 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the firm before August 7, 2026.

Roblox assured investors that it could minimize risks associated with age verification and accurately forecast its business performance. The Company claimed to be “enormously bullish” and able to rely on “tremendous organic growth.” The Company relied on viral events to supply growth while misleading shareholders about how age verification would impact platform engagement and the public’s view of its products. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Roblox, investors suffered damages.

Nucor Corporation has outperformed the market since 2021, driven by infrastructure and data center tailwinds, but its valuation now reflects these positives. I closely monitor Q2 earnings for signs of sustained earnings power, particularly volume growth versus pricing, and management's guidance for Q3. Emerging risks include global steel overcapacity, cost inflation, and potential margin compression, which could threaten NUE's current earnings trajectory.

Investors might want to bet on State Street Corporation (STT - Free Report) , as earnings estimates for this company have been showing solid improvement lately. The stock has already gained solid short-term price momentum, and this trend might continue with its still improving earnings outlook.

Analysts' growing optimism on the earnings prospects of this company is driving estimates higher, which should get reflected in its stock price. After all, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Our stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- has this insight at its core.

The five-grade Zacks Rank system, which ranges from a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record of outperformance, with Zacks #1 Ranked stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 2008.

For State Street Corporation, there has been strong agreement among the covering analysts in raising earnings estimates, which has helped push consensus estimates considerably higher for the next quarter and full year.

The chart below shows the evolution of forward 12-month Zacks Consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Current-Quarter Estimate RevisionsThe earnings estimate of $3.56 per share for the current quarter represents a change of +28.1% from the number reported a year ago.

Over the last 30 days, five estimates have moved higher for State Street compared to no negative revisions. As a result, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased 8.47%.

Current-Year Estimate RevisionsFor the full year, the earnings estimate of $13.35 per share represents a change of +29.6% from the year-ago number.

There has been an encouraging trend in estimate revisions for the current year as well. Over the past month, seven estimates have moved up for State Street versus no negative revisions. This has pushed the consensus estimate 8.13% higher.

Favorable Zacks RankThe promising estimate revisions have helped State Street earn a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Rank is a tried-and-tested rating tool that helps investors effectively harness the power of earnings estimate revisions and make the right investment decision.

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

Our research shows that stocks with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and 2 (Buy) significantly outperform the S&P 500.

Bottom LineWhile strong estimate revisions for State Street have attracted decent investments and pushed the stock 8.4% higher over the past four weeks, further upside may still be left in the stock. So, you may consider adding it to your portfolio right away.

On-chain detective ZachXBT published a post stating that cross-chain bridge project TeleSwap was allegedly hit by an attack of more than $735,000 on July 15, 2026. As of now, five days after the incident, the project team has not publicly disclosed any information regarding the event.

Morgan Stanley: As memory shortage intensifies, DRAM prices may rise by at least 25% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter.

Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore noted that following discussions with multiple data center procurement personnel last week, the current tight memory supply shows no signs of easing. DRAM and other memory products are expected to rise by at least 25% on a comparable basis from the second quarter to the third quarter, a figure higher than previous forecasts from Morgan Stanley and third-party institutions. Moore added that the memory shortage could further deteriorate in 2027 and 2028, as AI demand is consuming massive DRAM capacity, squeezing supplies for other sectors such as PCs and smartphones. Morgan Stanley further holds that the current market is not only grappling with surging memory demand driven by AI, but insufficient memory supply itself is emerging as a key bottleneck limiting AI expansion.

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

What Happened?
On April 3, 2026, Lucid announced its first quarter 2026 production and delivery totals, revealing that is had “produced 5,500 vehicles” but only “delivered 3,093 vehicles.” The Company explained that “deliveries of the Lucid Gravity were disrupted for 29 days due to a supplier quality issue with the second-row seats” and, “[a]s a result of this, the company’s ability to meet customer demand was impacted.”

The same day, Reuters published an article regarding Lucid’s delivery results, noting that deliveries had been impacted over a month earlier in February 2026 when Lucid paused to reverse an unauthorized supplier change and inspect vehicles already produced.

Then, on April 6, 2026, 24/7 Wall St. published an article stating that Lucid “cannot sell fewer than 4,000 vehicles and even pretend this is sustainable.”

On this news, Lucid’s stock price fell $1.13, or 11.35%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $8.83 per share on April 7, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on April 14, 2026, Lucid released preliminary first quarter 2026 financial results, including revenue in the range of $280 million to $284 million, missing consensus estimates of $433.8 million, and losses from operations in the range of $985 million to $1.005 billion. The Company also revealed plans for a $1.05 billion capital raise, including a $300 million public stock offering.

On this news, Lucid’s stock price fell $0.44, or 4.76%, to close at $8.80 per share on April 14, 2026.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Lucid released its first quarter 2026 financial results, reporting GAAP earnings per share of -$3.46, missing consensus estimates by $0.83, a net loss of over $1 billion, and revenue of $282.47 million, missing consensus estimates by $76.04 million. The Company explained that the “supplier issue . . . during the quarter had an impact,” while also acknowledging that it “ended the quarter with elevated inventory[.]”

On this news, Lucid’s stock price fell $0.50, or 7.47%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $6.19 per share on May 6, 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) a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted deliveries of the Lucid Gravity; (2) the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results; (3) accordingly, the Defendants had overstated the purported enhancements to Lucid’s manufacturing and delivery capabilities and overall operations; and (4) 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 Lucid securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 28, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Sirius XM (SIRI - Free Report) . This company, which is in the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.

This satellite radio company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 5.97%.

For the most recent quarter, Sirius XM was expected to post earnings of $0.7 per share, but it reported $0.72 per share instead, representing a surprise of 2.86%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.77 per share, while it actually produced $0.84 per share, a surprise of 9.09%.

Price and EPS Surprise

For Sirius XM, 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.

Sirius XM has an Earnings ESP of +3.62% 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. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on July 30, 2026.

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

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable 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.

The rapid adoption of IoT-supported factory automation solutions is another contributing factor.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects The Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. It currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #40, which places the industry in the top 16% of more than 250 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bullish near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.

The industry’s positioning in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of the positive earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are optimistic about this group’s earnings growth potential. Since Aug. 31, 2025, the industry’s earnings estimates for the current year have moved up 32.1%.

Given the bullish prospects, there are a number of stocks that investors can consider for their portfolio. However, before we present the stocks, let us look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

Industry Outperforms S&P 500 & Sector The Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry has outperformed the Zacks S&P 500 composite and the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector in the past year.

The industry has appreciated 34.9% over this period compared with the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s return of 12% and the S&P 500’s rise of 8.8%.

Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 39.96X and as low as 11.16X, with the median being 24.7X, as the charts below show.

Forward 12-Month Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio

3 Electronics Semiconductor Stocks to Buy Applied Materials: This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) company is benefiting from AI-driven demand that is shifting wafer fabrication equipment spending toward leading-edge foundry-logic, DRAM and advanced packaging, where AMAT holds leading process positions. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Management expects these three areas to drive more than 80% of year-over-year total WFE growth in calendar 2026, with a similar profile in 2027. The company expects its semiconductor equipment business to grow more than 30% in calendar 2026 as customers expand cleanroom capacity and accelerate equipment pull-ins. This demand mix aligns with Applied Materials’ stated leadership positions and supports a more durable multi-year spending cycle than prior compute-driven upturns.

Applied Materials stock has appreciated 106.1% year to date. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMAT’s fiscal 2026 earnings has increased 4 cents over the past 30 days to $12.14 per share, suggesting 28.87% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025.

Price & Consensus: AMAT

Lam Research: Another Zacks Rank #1 stock, Lam Research is benefiting from AI-driven increases in demand for deposition and etch tools across memory, foundry and advanced packaging industries. Management lifted its calendar year 2026 WFE outlook and sees growth continuing into 2027 as customers work through capacity and cleanroom constraints.

In NAND, LRCX expects conversion spending required to move existing capacity above 200 layers to be pulled forward, with most spending occurring before the end of 2027. This increases the runway for Lam Research’s deposition and etch content as customers transition toward 256-layer and above class devices.

Lam Research’s shares have appreciated 83% year to date. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for LRCX’s fiscal 2026 earnings has been steady at $5.68 per share over the past 30 days.

Price & Consensus: LRCX

FormFactor: This Zacks Rank #1 company is benefiting from probe card demand tied to high-performance compute (HPC) and advanced packaging. Management expects the second quarter of 2026 to be another record quarter with sequential improvement in non-GAAP gross margin and earnings as yield, cycle-time and cost actions take hold and restructuring savings flow through.

Growing demand for advanced packaging is increasing both the number of test insertions and the complexity of each insertion, especially in high bandwidth memory (HBM). HBM requires higher speeds and tighter thermal specifications than standard DRAM, which supports higher-value probe card content. Diversification in foundry and logic is increasing FormFactor’s exposure to HPC beyond memory. Co-packaged optics supported by silicon photonics remains a multi-year opportunity for FormFactor’s systems and future consumables.

FormFactor has appreciated 89.2% year to date. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FORM’s 2026 earnings has remained unchanged at $2.40 per share over the past 30 days.

Price & Consensus: FORM

LOS ANGELES, July 20, 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 Zoetis Inc. (“Zoetis” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ZTS) securities between January 14, 2025 and May 6, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

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

What Happened?
On August 5, 2025, Zoetis released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting weakened demand trends within its Companion Animal portfolio.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $5.69, or 3.8%, to close at $146.12 per share on August 5, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on November 4, 2025, Zoetis released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing slowed growth across its key Companion Animal franchises and disclosing continued weakness in sales of its canine pain treatment, Librela, and increased competitive pressure in dermatology and parasiticides. The Company also lowered its full year sales outlook.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $19.89, or 13.8%, to close at $124.46 per share on November 4, 2025.

Then, on May 7, 2026, Zoetis released its first quarter 2026 financial results, reporting slowing overall revenue growth, declining Companion Animal sales performance, and worsening results across its key dermatology and parasiticides franchises, stating that “competition intensified across key pet care categories, including dermatology and parasiticides,” that “pet owners demonstrated increased price sensitivity,” and that “these new entrants have not yet translated into overall market expansion.”

The Company also explained that “price has played a larger role in the decision process,” that “[s]hare loss is being amplified by a derm market with declining patient volume in the clinic,” and that contraction in the parasiticides market was negatively impacting prescription volumes and compliance. In addition, the Company admitted that it was operating in “a more price sensitive and competitive environment” and further reduced its 2026 growth outlook based on continuing competitive and operating pressures.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $23.91, or 21.5%, to close at $87.31 per share on May 7, 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) veterinarian prescription growth and adoption of Zoetis’ Librela, a canine pain treatment, were sharply weakening as clinicians became more cautious following FDA safety warnings concerning serious neurological complications in dogs; (2) Zoetis’ Simparica Trio was losing significant market share to a lower priced competing canine parasiticide with broader indicated use in a slowing overall market; and (3) Zoetis’ dermatology products, Apoquel and Cytopoint, were losing substantial market share to a newly launched competing canine treatment; and (4) 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 Zoetis 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.

FedWatch Tool indicates that there is a 55% probability that Fed will raise rates by 25 bps in September. The probability of two rate hikes by September is estimated at 9.5%. Hawkish Fed policy outlook is bearish for gold that pays no interest.

U.S. dollar gained ground against a broad basket of currencies as forex traders focused on rising Treasury yields. Stronger dollar is bearish for gold and other dollar-denominated commodities.

Oil prices moved higher as Yemen’s Houthis threatened to impose a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia. Rising oil prices fuel worries about another inflation wave at a time when global oil reserves are at low levels.

The technical picture remains unchanged as gold needs to settle above the resistance level at $4020 – $4040 to have a chance to gain upside momentum in the near term. If gold climbs above the $4040 level, it will head towards the next resistance at $4180 – $4200. A move above the $4200 level will push gold towards the 50 MA at $4277.

On the support side, a move below the $4000 level will open the way to the test of the support level at $3930 – $3950.

Silver Tests Resistance At $56.00 – $57.00

Chip stocks rose on Monday as investors bought the dip following last week's rout.

There are many reasons to scream right now—from cyclospora to corrupt politicians avoiding accountability.

What if instead we collectively squealed for ice cream on National Ice Cream Day? Well, we’re in luck because it’s today: Sunday, July 19, 2026.

Here’s some history along with deals to make this cool snack an even sweeter treat.

Before machines, how was ice cream made?Ice cream is made up of cream, sugar, air, and frozen water. Flavors were added based on an individual’s taste preferences. Before refrigerators and machines, these ingredients were combined in a separate container, surrounded by ice and salt, which reached temperatures below freezing.

The mixture was then stirred and churned by hand. Because of this labor-intensive process, ice cream was once just a dish for the wealthy elites.

Who invented ice cream?A fascinating aspect of this chilled delight is that many cultures created their own frozen desserts, paving the way for ice cream.

During the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, a precursor to ice cream was a sweet drink of iced camphor-infused buffalo milk. The Roman Emperor Nero liked to sweeten his iced beverages with honey. In India, kulfi, a frozen condensed milk dish, was enjoyed by Mughal emperors.

SummaryCompaniesRuling an early win for statesJudge sets August 3 hearing on longer pauseCosts will mount for Paramount if closing delayed past SeptemberJuly 20 (Reuters) - Paramount Skydance (PSKY.O), opens new tab must pause its $110 billion acquisition of Warner ‌Bros. Discovery (WBD.O), opens new tab through August 3, a federal judge ruled on Monday after a California-led coalition of states argued the merger would irreparably harm competition.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín in Oakland handed an early win to the group of states including New York, Colorado and Massachusetts, ​saying they had made a "strong showing" that the deal would unlawfully decrease competition.

Warner Bros. Discovery shares were ​down as much as 4% on Monday afternoon.

"Today’s decision is an important victory for ⁠all those who would be hurt by this merger, and I look forward to continuing to fight this case," ​said New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The judge will hold a hearing on August 3 on whether the deal ​should be delayed throughout the course of the lawsuit, which could take months to reach a final ruling.

Spokespeople for the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Paramount has said the lawsuit distorts settled antitrust law, and that delaying the transaction would only ​harm entertainment workers who have already suffered through years of industry disruption.

STATES SUEThe lawsuit, filed in Oakland federal ​court, threatens to derail Paramount CEO David Ellison's bid to transform his company into a major rival of Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab and Disney (DIS.N), opens new tab.

California and ‌11 states ⁠sued on July 13, arguing the deal would create a media behemoth with the power to raise prices in film and television.

Martínez-Olguín agreed with the states that letting the deal close would likely lead to changes that are hard to undo if the merger is ultimately found to be illegal, such as job cuts and sharing of sensitive ​information.

The judge said the ​deal looks likely to violate ⁠antitrust law if it gives the combined company 27% of the market for distribution of widely-released films as the states have alleged. A final determination would come after ​both sides present evidence at trial.

Paramount Skydance's argument that companies like Amazon and Apple ​have entered the ⁠film market recently was not enough to show the merger is lawful, the judge said.

With fewer distributors, studios could find it easier to pressure theater owners for a greater share of ticket revenue, the states have alleged.

A prolonged interruption could ⁠hurt ​Paramount Skydance financially. For each calendar day the merger is delayed past September ​30, Ellison would be on the hook to pay Warner Bros. shareholders a 25-cent-per-share “ticking fee,” or about $7 million a day, according to the merger agreement, opens new tab.

Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery hit its first official roadblock when a judge granted a temporary restraining order on the merger as part of a lawsuit brought by state attorneys general.

California District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín signed off on the order Monday after hearing arguments from both sides in an Oakland courtroom on Friday. The order puts a 14-day pause on anything moving forward with the merger.

Paramount didn't immediately return a request for comment on Monday. Warner Bros. declined to comment.

Last week, a group of state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit seeking to block the $110 billion acquisition due to antitrust concerns. The proposed deal would unite the storied film studios of Paramount and Warner Bros, the CBS broadcast network, a sprawling portfolio of pay TV networks that includes CNN, TNT, MTV and BET, and streaming services Paramount+ and HBO Max, under one roof.

The lawsuit said that the proposed deal would violate the Clayton Antitrust Act — a more than 100-year-old law that prohibits anticompetitive mergers and acquisitions. The lawsuit was brought by a group of states that also includes Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington.

In Monday's order, Martínez-Olguín said the coalition of state attorneys general presented "compelling evidence that the combined firm resulting from the transaction will possess substantial market share in the wide-release theatrical distribution market."

Paramount's lead trial counsel Jeffrey Kessler said on CNBC earlier this week that the TRO was filed after Paramount indicated its intention was to close the deal as early as July 22, when the company expects to have all regulatory clearances.

During Friday's hearing, Paramount attorneys offered to delay the deal closing until mid-August to sidestep a temporary restraining order.

The states could seek another temporary restraining order after the 14 days, or a preliminary injunction, which would further delay the deal.

Another proposed media deal — the $6.2 billion tie up of broadcast station group owners Nexstar Media Group and Tegna — has been put on pause following a similar lawsuit and preliminary injunction that was granted by a U.S. court. A trial for the lawsuit, which is also being led by Bonta, is set to begin in mid-2027.

The Paramount-WBD deal has been under review by the European Union and the U.K., which provided a new provisional deadline of July 22.

The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice signed off on the tie-up in June, clearing it of federal concerns. It has also won approval from several global jurisdictions.

Paramount has said it's on track to close the deal by the end of September.

If the deal were to be delayed beyond then, Paramount could face additional costs, namely a so-called ticking fee that kicks in if it's not closed after Sept. 30. The fee would be an additional 25 cents paid to WBD shareholders per quarter until closing — which would equal about $650 million in cash value per quarter.

Paramount also agreed to a $7 billion breakup fee if the deal does move forward due to regulatory concerns.

Bonta called the merger unlawful and said it would "lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less content for film and television, harming movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences on every sofa and movie theater seat in the U.S."

The states that brought the lawsuit against the deal said they believe that the merged entity would control nearly one-third of films and nearly a third of basic cable TV programming.

Paramount has defended the deal as "pro-competitive."

In court papers filed on Thursday, Paramount said the temporary restraining order "presents one of the weakest merger challenges in modern antitrust history."

The company said the deal would "produce more high-quality content for consumers; it will incentivize investment in job-creating film production; it will stabilize basic cable television (which is gravely threatened by cord cutting); and it will increase the output of theatrical releases in a challenged entertainment landscape."
