13.07.25 15:47:08 Meta Just Boosted Its Stake in Ray-Ban’s Parent—Analysts See AI Potential
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)is one of the Trending AI Stocks on Wall Street. On July 9, BofA Securities analyst Justin Post raised the price target on the stock to $765.00 (from $690.00) while keeping a “Buy” rating.

The rating affirmation followed reports that the AI giant has acquired almost 3% stake in its AI-eyewear partner EssilorLuxottica, which is the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley.

The investment reflects a deepening and longer-term partnership to develop smart glasses, as per the analysts. The reports further suggest that Meta may have the option to increase its stake in the eyewear company to 5% in the future.Meta Just Boosted Its Stake in Ray-Ban’s Parent—Analysts See Big AI Potential

According to the firm, Meta’s latest investment reflects a particular focus on smart glasses in Meta’s hardware and AI wearable strategy, whereas its VR goggles are likely to underperform expectations.

11.07.25 15:40:02 SNN or ESLOY: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now?
Investors interested in stocks from the Medical - Products sector have probably already heard of Smith & Nephew (SNN) and EssilorLuxottica Unsponsored ADR (ESLOY). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.

Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.

Currently, Smith & Nephew has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while EssilorLuxottica Unsponsored ADR has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that SNN is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.

Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

SNN currently has a forward P/E ratio of 15.83, while ESLOY has a forward P/E of 35.31. We also note that SNN has a PEG ratio of 0.96. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. ESLOY currently has a PEG ratio of 4.52.

Another notable valuation metric for SNN is its P/B ratio of 2.58. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, ESLOY has a P/B of 3.01.

These are just a few of the metrics contributing to SNN's Value grade of A and ESLOY's Value grade of D.

SNN sticks out from ESLOY in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that SNN is the better option right now.

09.07.25 16:53:21 Trump tariffs, Nvidia hits $4 trillion market cap, Mark Zuckerberg's big summer: Opening Bid takeaways
A slow summer for markets this is not.

Traders entered Wednesday's session digesting more President Trump tariff chaos that has sent copper prices ripping higher. This is in addition to fresh uncertainty on the future of the Federal Reserve.

Some 10 minutes into the opening bell on Wall Street, however, investors shook it off to shift focus on AI chip darling Nvidia (NVDA). The company broke through a $4 trillion market for the first time ever (watch the above analysis).

Here is everything we touched on during Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid on Wednesday.

1. 50% copper tariffs!

President Trump's off-the-cuff move to slap copper imports with a 50% tariff should remind investors of one key point: In this administration, one must always brace for surprises.

Shares of copper plays Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) dropped 5% and 3%, respectively, in early trading.

"I think it's [the copper tariffs] just a reminder that markets don't move in a straight line, that we'll get some hiccups along the way," Truist co-chief investment officer Keith Lerner said.

Lerner remains bullish on the markets.

2. The race to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell

The "Apprentice"-style battle to be President Trump's Fed chair pick is heating up, according to the Wall Street Journal. Two of the top candidates — former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett — are certainly qualified but ratchet up Wall Street's concern on Fed independence. Both are seen as key economic allies of Trump.

"If one of the Kevins does come in and take over, it's setting up for maybe a little bit more contentious conversations perhaps at the FOMC going forward," Crossmark Global Investments chief markets strategist Victoria Fernandez said. "It does not necessarily mean that they are going to be able to lower rates."Time to get bullish on Uber?·Yahoo Finance

3. Zuck's cool vibes

Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is having a summer to remember, including poaching top AI talent such as Alexandr Wang with big paychecks. On July 4, he posted a video of himself wakesurfing in an eagle costume on Instagram. And now his company is plunking down a reported $3.5 billion to increase its stake in eyewear maker EssilorLuxottica.

Meta lost $4.2 billion in its Reality Labs division in the most recent quarter, which has never been profitable. Yet Meta's stock has rallied 25% this year while Apple (AAPL) has seen its stock drop 16%. After all, Apple has a lot of tariff exposure!

Fernandez said, "I think Meta is a good fundamental place to be."

4. Eyes on Uber

The no-tax-on-tips provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill includes 1099 workers, such as Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) drivers, according to a new note from BofA. Federal income tax savings will be available even for those who don't itemize, with a max deduction of $25,000.

BofA estimates that US Uber drivers will earn $42 billion this year and will save $1 billion in taxes, which equates to a 2.5% pay bump. BofA said the tax benefit could provide a modest tailwind to the supply of Uber drivers.

Combined with research showing that the number of Uber rides has accelerated this summer, BofA said Uber's stock could climb at least 18% from current levels.

Though Uber's stock has come a long way, up 37% in the past year. You can see how the stock is priced for perfection when studying multiples on the Yahoo Finance platform.

Shares trade on a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 35 times compared to 22 times for the S&P 500 (^GSPC). The price-to-earnings growth ratio of 15.8 times is miles away from the 1x often viewed as reasonable for a stock.

Now time for some of today's trending tickers. We're watching Mobileye, Meta, and Starbucks. First up, Mobileye, as Intel plans to slash its stake in the autonomous driving company. The chip giant planning to sell 45 million shares. That's worth about $900 million. Mobileye will repurchase $100 million worth of its own stock directly from Intel. The sale comes as the company also reported preliminary second quarter results that beat expectations. And the share sale, we should say, is not entirely unexpected on the part of Intel. Next, meta, taking a minority stake in the world's largest eyewear manufacturer, according to a report from Bloomberg. Meta bought about a 3% stake in Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica, worth around 3 and a half billion dollars.

09.07.25 12:23:11 Meta opens Cambridge lab as part of AI glasses expansion
Facebook owner Meta (META) has opened a new audio research lab in Cambridge as part of the tech giant’s push into AI glasses.

Bosses at Meta met Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Wednesday morning as they launched the £12 million facility.

It came amid reports the Facebook and Instagram owner has purchased a minority stake in Oakley and Ray-Ban owner EssilorLuxottica SA (EL.PA), the world’s largest eyewear business.

It is reported the company’s stake will be worth around three billion euros (£2.6 billion) and be worth just under 3% of the Paris-based business.

Meta has outlined plans to rapidly grow its AI glasses business, with Ray-Ban Meta and recently announced Oakley Meta products.

The Silicon Valley business said its expansion plans in this area have seen it invest in the new audio research lab in Cambridge, designed to “advance spatial audio and machine learning for Meta’s future AI glasses”.

The facility includes “reverb rooms and ultra-quiet acoustic chambers” in order to hone the audio quality of its products under development.

Meta employs more than 5,500 people across its UK operations.

Joel Kaplan, chief global affairs officer for Meta, met Ms Reeves at the site and underlined the group’s commitment to investing in the UK.

Mr Kaplan said: “Creating this world-class audio lab in Cambridge is a sign of our long-term commitment to the UK and our belief in the top engineering talent it produces.

“We want the brightest minds to make sure our smart glasses have the smartest AI-powered audio so you can focus on what you’re listening to no matter what’s going on around you.

“I can’t wait to experience the results of the work the lab produces.”

Ms Reeves said: “Meta’s investment is a huge vote of confidence in the UK as a hub for world-leading research and innovation while helping to supercharge the potential in the Oxford to Cambridge growth corridor.

“We want our high-tech industries to continue to lead the world in years to come which is why we’re backing our innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs with a record £22 billion in R&D (research and development) funding, creating the opportunity for good jobs and investment in Britain, and delivering on our plan for change.”
