Chicago, IL – October 23, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Newmont Corp. NEM, Commercial Metals Co. CMC and Cenovus Energy Inc. CVE.
Investor sentiments are bullish of late on the back of solid third-quarter earnings performance. While the government shutdown and resulting blackout of economic data are concerns, investors seem to be optimistic about the overall health of the economy. Last month, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates amid a continued deterioration in the labor market. Amid such a backdrop, retail investors face massive challenges in picking the right stocks and generating robust returns.
One way to cut short this task is to follow brokers' recommendations. In this regard, stocks such as Newmont Corp., Commercial Metals Co. and Cenovus Energy Inc. are worth considering for investment.
Brokers often gain valuable insights into companies through direct interactions with senior management, analysis of public filings, and participation in earnings calls. Their sector-wide perspective allows them to evaluate a company's fundamentals within the broader economic context, providing a more informed view of potential stock performance.
That said, a broker's stock upgrade can serve as a useful indicator but shouldn't be the sole driver of investment decisions. Achieving sustainable, long-term returns requires investors to consider a wider range of factors beyond broker recommendations.
Denver, CO-based Newmont is one of the world's largest producers of gold with several active mines in Nevada, Peru, Australia and Ghana. NEM's operating segments are North America, South America, Australia and Africa.
Newmont's 2025 earnings are expected to soar 60.1% year over year. NEM, which currently sports a Zacks Rank #1, has witnessed a 4.8% upward revision in broker ratings over the past four weeks.

CMC provides these through a network of facilities that includes seven electric arc furnace (EAF) mini mills, two EAF micro mills, a rerolling mill, steel fabrication and processing plants, construction-related product warehouses and metal recycling facilities in the United States and Poland.
CMC's fiscal 2026 earnings are projected to surge 67.4% on a year-over-year basis. Commercial Metals, sporting a Zacks Rank #1 at present, has witnessed an 8.3% upward revision in broker ratings over the past four weeks.
