Today's Featured Research Reports
NVIDIA’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor - General industry over the year-to-date period (+35.9% vs. +34.2%). The company is benefiting from the strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance accelerated computing. The growing demand for generative AI and large language models using graphics processing units (GPUs) based on NVIDIA’s Hopper and Blackwell architectures is aiding data center revenues.
The continued ramp-up of Ada RTX GPU workstations in the ProViz end market, following the normalization of channel inventory, is acting as a tailwind. Collaborations with more than 320 automakers and tier-one suppliers are likely to advance its presence in the autonomous vehicle space.
However, a limited supply of Blackwell GPUs may hinder its ability to meet demand. Rising costs associated with the production of more complex AI systems will hurt margins. The U.S.-China tech war and rising competition from AMD remain major concerns.

Shares of AT&T have outperformed the Zacks Wireless National industry over the year-to-date period (+17.6% vs. +3.7%). The company is likely to benefit from a customer-centric business model and solid wireless traction, supported by an integrated fiber expansion strategy and steady 5G deployments. It is witnessing healthy momentum in its postpaid wireless business with a lower churn rate and increased adoption of higher-tier unlimited plans.
AT&T aims to deploy Open RAN for 70% of its wireless network traffic across open-capable platforms by late 2026. It remains firmly on track to pass more than 50 million fiber locations by the end of 2030, thanks to stepped-up investment courtesy of the pro-investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
However, the wireline division is struggling with persistent losses in access lines due to competitive pressures. Healthy discounts and freebies to woo customers are denting margins. The high debt burden remains a concern.

Amgen’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry over the year-to-date period (+32.5% vs. +19.9%). The company beat third-quarter estimates for both earnings and sales. Key medicines like Evenity, Repatha and Blincyto, as well as newer medicines like Tavneos and Tezspire, are driving sales, more than offsetting declining revenues from oncology biosimilars and mature products like Enbrel.
New biosimilar launches are also contributing to top-line growth. Furthermore, Amgen has several key pipeline assets, with a primary focus on the obesity candidate, MariTide.
However, increased pricing headwinds and competitive pressure are hurting sales of many products. Sales of best-selling drugs, Prolia and Xgeva, are expected to decline due to biosimilar competition. Recent pipeline setbacks and the upcoming LOE cliff are concerns.
