Today's Featured Research Reports

Shares of Eli Lilly have declined -4.7% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry's decline of -0.6%. Declining sales of Trulicity, rising pricing pressure on some drugs, and potential competition in the GLP-1 diabetes/obesity market are some of Eli Lilly's top-line headwinds. Lilly is making rapid pipeline progress in obesity and diabetes. However, data from phase III studies on its weight-loss pill, orforglipron, was mixed.

However, demand for popular GLP-1 drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound, remains strong, making them Lilly's key top-line drivers. Launches of these drugs in new international markets and improved supply from ramped-up production led to strong sales in the first half of 2025.

Oracle's shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer – Software industry over the year-to-date period (+43.2% vs. +16.3%). Oracle is benefiting from continued momentum from its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business, including from winning cloud-computing contracts from AI-focused startups. ORCL's continued investment in cloud infrastructure, comprising NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Fusion ERP, positions it well for sustained growth in the dynamic software industry.

Oracle's partnership with Amazon for Oracle Database@AWS and the general availability of Oracle Database@Google bode well. Oracle's Gen 2 Cloud is driving artificial intelligence clientele. The company's share buybacks and dividend policy are noteworthy.

Shares of Procter & Gamble have declined -6.4% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry's decline of -4.0%. Procter & Gamble's elevated commodity costs, tariff pressures, higher interest expenses, and a fragile recovery in China continue to weigh on margins, earnings visibility, and overall growth momentum.

However, Procter & Gamble's strong portfolio, innovation pipeline, and disciplined productivity efforts reinforce its ability to deliver sustainable growth. Procter & Gamble's consistent execution positions it well to balance growth, resilience, and shareholder value creation.

Comstock's shares have outperformed the Zacks Building Products - Home Builders industry over the year-to-date period (+126.7% vs. +4.7%). Comstock benefits from stable, recurring revenue from asset management agreements extending through 2035, featuring cost-plus structures and performance incentives. Its debt-free, asset-light model enhances financial flexibility, while consistent revenue growth — 18.8% YoY in Q1 2025 — and expanding profitability demonstrate strong operational leverage.

However, risks include revenue concentration with a related party, low third-party diversification, and deferred incentive fee recognition. Regulatory headwinds and heavy geographic concentration in the D.C. metro area pose additional exposure.
