14.07.25 17:29:23 | GE Aerospace (GE): A Bull Case Theory | ![]() |
We came across a bullish thesis on GE Aerospace on Stock Analysis Compilation’s Substack. . In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on GE. GE Aerospace's share was trading at $244.75 as of July 2nd. GE’s trailing and forward P/E were 38.60 and 43.86 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A shot of a prototype aircraft taking to the skies, the symbol of the companies innovation in aerospace & defense. General Aerospace (GE) is strategically positioned for sustained, highly profitable growth, driven primarily by its aerospace segment, with a particular focus on commercial aircraft engines. This segment is the company’s core profit engine, contributing nearly three-quarters of total sales and an even larger share of earnings. GE maintains a dominant position in the narrowbody engine market through its CFM International joint venture with Safran, and it controls approximately half of the widebody engine market independently. The aircraft engine industry is defined by formidable barriers to entry, significant switching costs, and a highly profitable aftermarket business, as airlines rely on GE for long-term servicing and parts replacement. These dynamics create a recurring revenue stream with strong pricing power. GE’s unparalleled position in both original equipment manufacturing and aftermarket services gives the company long-term earnings visibility and an ability to sustain double-digit growth rates. The aftermarket component is particularly lucrative, driven by the installed base of engines that require ongoing maintenance and upgrades over their 20+ year life cycles. Despite a recent pullback in the stock, this has presented an attractive opportunity to invest in a business with durable growth characteristics and exceptional earnings visibility at a reasonable valuation of just under 30x earnings. With industry demand supported by rising global air travel and increasing aircraft utilization, GE’s aerospace segment is poised to deliver strong, long-term shareholder value. Investors see the potential for compounding returns driven by robust margins, recurring cash flows, and continued market leadership in the commercial aviation space. Previously we covered a bullish thesis on GE Aerospace by Asymmetric Ventures in May 2025, which highlighted the company’s leadership in aftermarket MRO services and strong customer retention through Power-by-the-Hour contracts. The company’s stock price has appreciated approximately by 1.2% since our coverage. The thesis still stands as aftermarket strength remains intact. Stock Analysis Compilation shares a similar perspective but emphasizes engine market dominance. Story Continues GE isn't on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of GE as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

20.06.25 13:00:00 | Québec Strengthens Its International Standing in Aerospace and Defense at the 2025 Paris Air Show | ![]() |
A mission marked by strategic partnerships, major investments and record ecosystem engagement MONTREAL, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Organized by Investissement Québec International, the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy, and the Québec Government Office in Paris, in collaboration with Aéro Montréal, the Québec economic mission to the 2025 Paris Air Show – Le Bourget showcased the province's ability to position itself as a key player in the global aerospace, defense and security value chain.Aéro Montréal logo (CNW Group/Aéro Montréal) With more than 175 participants from businesses, institutions, research centers and government bodies, the Québec delegation demonstrated unprecedented cohesion around a shared ambition: to strengthen Québec's influence in strategic international markets. Defense and Security: Québec Steps onto the Global Stage The 2025 Paris Air Show confirmed Québec's growing role in global defense supply chains: Safran and Bombardier signed a letter of intent to accelerate the development and industrialization of innovative technology solutions for the defense sector. Leonardo and Bombardier Defense announced a non-exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to evaluate the integration of Leonardo mission systems aboard Bombardier's Global 6500 jet platform. C3RiOS Systems signed: Bell Textron Inc. announced an order for 12 SUBARU Bell 412EPX helicopters from the Tunisian Air Force — the first order for this model in the region. The French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) and Saab signed a joint declaration of intent for the future acquisition of two GlobalEye AEW&C aircraft, with an option for two more. The aircraft use the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 platform equipped with active and passive sensors. A formal contract is expected to follow in the coming months. Industrial Innovation and Advanced Manufacturing The mission also highlighted Québec's strengths in applied innovation, robotics and intelligent manufacturing: Watch Out, in partnership with ADM Aéroports de Montréal, Espace Aéro, and Aéro Montréal, announced the opening of a new R&D and assembly center for AI-powered autonomous micro-factories at the YMX Innovation Hub in Mirabel. These micro-factories are designed for the aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing sectors. AV&R, a specialist in robotic surface finishing systems, and Saint-Gobain Surface Solutions, a global leader in high-performance abrasives, announced a strategic alliance to develop next-generation robotic finishing solutions for aerospace turbine components. Mecachrome Canada was awarded several key contracts by MDA Space to manufacture high-precision metallic panels for major satellite programs, including Telesat Lightspeed and MDA CHORUS. Mecachrome also secured a new serial production contract with Héroux-Devtek for landing gear components for the Airbus A330 program, following successful prototype development. Story Continues Global Recognition for Québec's Aerospace Expertise Québec's leadership in regional aviation was further confirmed with LOT Polish Airlines' order of 40 A220 aircraft (assembled in Mirabel) — the Polish national carrier's first-ever Airbus order. The agreement could grow to 84 aircraft, further solidifying the international footprint of the A220 program. A further step toward sustainable air mobility Delastek has signed an exclusive 20-year contract with Flying Whales Québec to develop and manufacture the gondola of the LCA60T airship, including the cockpit, living area, and piloting interface. This partnership strengthens Québec's role in sustainable air mobility by leveraging top-tier local expertise. Workforce Forecasts: Preparing for the Future At the show, CAE released the 2025 edition of its Aviation Talent Forecast, projecting a need for 1.5 million civil aviation professionals worldwide by 2034, including: 267,000 commercial pilots 347,000 aircraft maintenance technicians 678,000 cabin crew members 71,000 air traffic controllers (included in the forecast for the first time) These projections highlight the urgent global need for talent development and advanced training in the aviation sector. "The 2025 Paris Air Show confirms that Québec is not just an innovation ecosystem — it's a strategic partner for leading global industrial powers seeking to invest in resilience, technological sovereignty, and the future of defense." — Mélanie Lussier, President, Aéro Montréal Save the Date: Montréal 2026 The industry's next major gathering will take place on April 13–14, 2026, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, for the 10ᵗʰ edition of the International Aerospace Innovation Forum, which will also celebrate Aéro Montréal's 20ᵗʰ anniversary. À propos d'Aéro Montréal Founded in 2006, Aéro Montréal is a strategic think tank that brings together industry leaders from Québec's aerospace sector, including manufacturers, research centers, academic institutions, associations and unions. Aéro Montréal's activities are made possible thanks to the support of the governments of Canada, Québec, and the Montréal Metropolitan Community, as well as its corporate members.

18.06.25 13:30:15 | DOJ to require Safran to divest assets to proceed with RTX asset acquisition | ![]() |
The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division announced that it will require Safran, S.A. and Safran USA Inc. (SAFRY) to divest its North American actuation business and related assets to resolve antitrust concerns arising from its proposed $1.8B acquisition of Collins Aerospace’s actuation and flight control business from RTX Corporation (RTX). The divestiture resolves concerns that the transaction would recombine assets that were divested as part of the Division’s settlement of United Technologies Corporation’s acquisition of Rockwell Collins in 2018. UTC merged with Raytheon Company in 2020, forming Raytheon Technologies. The Antitrust Division filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the proposed transaction. At the same time, the Division filed a proposed settlement that, if approved by the court, would resolve the Division’s competitive concerns. “Today’s settlement is a structural solution to an acquisition that would have harmed competition for important aircraft components that are critical to passenger safety. The proposed divestiture to Woodward, an established provider in the aerospace industry, ensures that American customers will continue to benefit from competition, and the incentives of Woodward, the merging parties, and their customer base are aligned with the remedy’s success,” said Assistant Attorney General Abigail Slater of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division.

16.06.25 21:53:21 | Wizz Air near deal to order Pratt & Whitney engines for new jets, sources say | ![]() |
LONDON (Reuters) -Wizz Air is edging towards a deal with RTX-owned Pratt & Whitney to purchase engines for 177 of its Airbus jets already on order, according to two industry sources. An announcement could come as early as this week's Paris Airshow, they said, adding it would form part of a settlement with the engine maker over groundings caused by repair times. Wizz Air and Pratt & Whitney parent RTX declined comment. The airline, which operates an all-Airbus fleet, last year said it had two options - its current supplier Pratt & Whitney, whose engines are facing issues worldwide, forcing airlines to ground planes, and competitor CFM, a joint venture between GE Aerospace and France's Safran. Choosing the next engine provider would depend on the acquisition cost, durability of the engine, operating cost and cost guarantees for aftermarket activities, Wizz Air Chief Executive Jozsef Varadi told Reuters. Wizz Air is among airlines that have been forced to ground a large number of planes due to a powder metal issue with the Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan (GTF) engine. Its profit for its 2025 financial year, which ends on March 31, slumped over 60% due to the knock-on effects of the groundings.

13.06.25 16:00:06 | Safran SA (SAFRY) Is Up 3.20% in One Week: What You Should Know | ![]() |
Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Safran SA (SAFRY), which currently has a Momentum Style Score of B. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Safran SA currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> Set to Beat the Market? Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for SAFRY that show why this company shows promise as a solid momentum pick. Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area. For SAFRY, shares are up 3.2% over the past week while the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry is up 1.61% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 4.54% compares favorably with the industry's 4.54% performance as well. While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Shares of Safran SA have increased 8.34% over the past quarter, and have gained 36.76% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 8.33% and 12.92%, respectively. Story Continues Investors should also pay attention to SAFRY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. SAFRY is currently averaging 198,963 shares for the last 20 days. Earnings Outlook The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with SAFRY. Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost SAFRY's consensus estimate, increasing from $2.01 to $2.13 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Bottom Line Given these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that SAFRY is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Safran SA on your short list. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

10.06.25 09:51:56 | Safran shares inch lower after Citi downgrades rating of French jet engine maker | ![]() |
Investing.com - Shares in Safran (EPA:SAF) traded lower on Tuesday after analysts at Citi downgraded their rating of the French jet engine maker to "neutral" from "buy." In a note to clients, the brokerage said Safran’s "current share price broadly reflects the company’s continued profitable growth." The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio, which stood at 36.4 last year and is expected to hover around 32.6 in 2025, is "towards the upper end of peer multiples/yields," but is not "stand-out expensive," Citi argued.

"We believe Safran’s market position and cash conversion justify a premium valuation. We also believe this premium is broadly reflected in the current share price," the strategists led by Charles Armitage wrote. By 05:04 ET (09:04 GMT), the stock had dipped by 1.1% to 263 euros in Paris trading. So far this year, Safran has jumped by more than 22%. The Citi analysts noted that their near-term sales and operating profit forecasts for Safran are roughly 3%-5% above consensus estimates, although their projection for income in 2030 is slightly below market expectations. Its free cash flow forecasts "straddle consensus depending on the year," they added. In April, Safran delivered stronger-than-anticipated first-quarter sales and said it was looking into ways to manage the effect of increased uncertainty around global trade relations. The firm suggested that it was exploring possibly passing on a special trade-related surcharge to customers such as airlines who purchase spares or repair services. CEO Olivier Andries told reporters that it was also in talks with its suppliers to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on its own expenses. But media reports said Safran and other groups have already agreed to take on some of the cost of the levies incurred by suppliers. The maker of everything from plane landing gears to cabin interiors posted a 16.7% surge in revenues to 7.257 billion euros during the first quarter. It backed its full-year forecasts as well, noting that its targets omitted any possible future impact from U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff agenda.

29.05.25 22:36:00 | Time to Buy Aerospace Defense Stocks for Higher Highs | ![]() |
Among the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) list, several Aerospace Defense stocks are standing out and have reached new 52-week highs this week. Benefiting from increased global military spending and growing demand for defense technology, these stocks are seeing a pleasant trend of rising earnings estimate revisions, pointing to more upside ahead. The Zacks Aerospace-Defense Industry Howmet Aerospace HWM and Safran SAFRY are the two standouts from the Zacks Aerospace-Defense Industry, which is in the top 16% of over 240 Zacks industries. Both provide critical components for aircraft engines, with Howmet and Safran stock sitting on year-to-date gains of +55% and +35% respectively, to outperform the industry’s return of +17%.

Headquartered in France, Safran is attracting investor interest as the company has seen a surge in aircraft orders amid geopolitical uncertainties in Europe. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh-based Howmet has continued its steady top and bottom-line growth thanks to international expansion with operations throughout North America and Europe, Australia, China, and Japan.

Astronics, Elbit, and Triumph have noticeably outperformed their peers, with the Aerospace-Defense Equipment Industry having a return of +14% YTD. Astronics has led the way with gains of nearly +100% this year as a manufacturer of specialized lighting and electronics for the cockpit, cabin, and exteriors of military, commercial transport, and private business jet aircraft. Furthermore, Elbit has a unique niche as a worldwide leader in Night Vision Goggles Head-Up Displays (NVG-HUD) for use in various types of helicopters, with Triumph producing a wide range of aircraft parts. Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Notably, the Zacks Aerospace-Defense Equipment industry has a projected EPS growth rate of 18.54% in 2025, with Astronics and Elbit‘s projections being above this level, while Triumph’s annual earnings are expected to increase a respectable 14%.Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Bottom Line Most intriguing to the notion that these aerospace defense stocks could have more upside is that their EPS estimates have trended higher for fiscal 2025 and FY26.

27.05.25 12:24:00 | Safran and Target have been highlighted as Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day | ![]() |
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – May 27, 2025 – Zacks Equity Research shares Safran SAFRY as the Bull of the Day and Target TGT as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Shopify SHOP, Zoom Communications ZM and Peloton Interactive PTON. Here is a synopsis of all five stocks. Bull of the Day: Safran, a global aerospace and defense technology leader based in France, stands out as a rare long-term outperformer in the European equities landscape. The company specializes in aircraft propulsion, equipment, and defense systems, boasting strong competitive advantages through its technological expertise, deep relationships with global aerospace manufacturers, and exposure to high-barrier-to-entry markets. Safran’s durable business model is backed by significant aftermarket services revenue, which provides a steady and recurring cash flow base. This year, the stock has surged 33%, handily outperforming both the broader European indices and US benchmarks. Its ascent is supported by two powerful macro tailwinds: the migration out of US dollar-denominated assets and renewed investor interest in European defense names, especially in light of shifting geopolitical priorities across the EU. What’s more, Safran’s long-term track record is equally impressive. Over the past decade, the stock has compounded at an annual rate of 15.1%, consistently outperforming major global benchmarks, even as European equities as a whole have struggled to keep pace with their U.S. counterparts. With strong price momentum, secular defense tailwinds, and a Top Zacks Rank to back it up, Safran is positioned as a very compelling investment opportunity going forward. Safran Stock Rises as Analysts Raise Forecasts As European defense budgets continue to surge, it's no surprise that analysts are taking a more bullish stance on key players in the region and Safran is at the top of that list. The company is widely viewed as a strategic beneficiary of the EU’s renewed commitment to defense modernization and autonomy, particularly amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and shifting NATO dynamics. Reflecting this favorable outlook, analysts have been steadily raising their earnings forecasts. Over the past 30 days, consensus estimates for Safran’s current-year earnings have climbed by 5.45%, while projections for 2026 have increased by 4.87%. These upward revisions give Safran it Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating, signaling improving earnings momentum and growing confidence in the company's ability to capitalize on structural tailwinds in aerospace and defense. Story Continues Upward earnings revisions like these are often one of the most powerful catalysts for stock performance, and in Safran’s case, they reinforce the company’s position as a core holding for investors seeking exposure to both high barrier to entry aerospace manufacturers and long-term defense growth. SAFRY Shares Have Rerated to a Premium Valuation Safran shares have clearly rerated higher, now trading at a forward earnings multiple of 34.7x, which is well above their 10-year median of 26.5x. While that might seem elevated at first glance, the valuation premium appears more justified in light of the sweeping geopolitical shifts driving defense spending across Europe. Importantly, this rerating isn’t unique to Safran. The broader aerospace and defense industry is also seeing multiple expansion, with the sector average forward P/E climbing to 28.2x, also significantly above its long-term median of 21.7x. This signals a revaluation by the market, as investors increasingly favor companies with durable competitive advantages and exposure to rising global defense budgets. Adding to Safran’s investment appeal is its robust earnings growth outlook. The company is expected to grow earnings at an annual rate of 19.5%, further supporting the case for its premium valuation and underscoring the company’s long-term potential in both commercial aerospace and defense markets. Should Investors Buy Shares in SAFRY? Safran offers a rare blend of strong fundamentals, thematic tailwinds, and consistent execution. With rising earnings estimates, top-tier growth potential, and a strategic foothold in both commercial aerospace and defense, SAFRY remains a high-conviction idea, despite its premium valuation. For investors seeking long-term exposure to Europe’s industrial resurgence and defense rearmament, Safran is a name worth owning. Bear of the Day: At a time when discount retailers have emerged as market leaders, Target has unfortunately become a notable underperformer. While peers like Walmart and Costco continue to thrive, Target has struggled with stagnant sales, margin pressure, and shifting consumer preferences. These headwinds have weighed heavily on the stock, which is now down roughly 30% year to date and has shown virtually no net return over the past decade. Adding to the bearish outlook, Target currently holds a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), reflecting negative earnings estimate revisions and declining analyst sentiment. Technically, the stock has also broken down from a key support level, confirming a bearish pattern that suggests further downside may be ahead. To be clear, Target remains a well-known and widely trusted brand, with long-term potential to rebound. But for now, with both fundamentals and technicals working against it, investors would be wise to stay on the sidelines until signs of a meaningful turnaround in both in earnings momentum and share price behavior begin to emerge. Target Stock Falls as Analysts Lower Estimates The fundamental picture for Target has continued to deteriorate, with analysts sharply lowering their earnings expectations in recent weeks. Current-year EPS estimates have been revised down by 10.9%, while next year’s projections have fallen even further, by 12.2%. These widespread downward revisions reflect weakening confidence in the company’s near-term outlook and reinforce its Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). Target's top-line growth has also been underwhelming. Sales have remained essentially flat over the past three years, and the outlook going forward is hardly inspiring. Revenues are expected to decline by 1.2% in the coming year before rebounding modestly by just 2.6% the year after—a tepid pace that suggests continued pressure from shifting consumer behavior and growing competition from both value-oriented and e-commerce retailers. TGT Stock Breaks Down After spending nearly two months consolidating in a tight range, TGT stock broke down below key support this week, signaling renewed technical weakness. Interestingly, the initial move lower did not trigger immediate follow-through selling—often a hallmark of stronger breakdowns. This could be a mildly encouraging sign that the selloff may be losing momentum, or that the stock is searching for a new equilibrium. Still, from a technical standpoint, the trend remains bearish. As long as TGT trades below the $95.60 level, the breakdown is considered valid and the path of least resistance continues to point lower. Without a sustained move back above that former support, now likely acting as resistance, investors should be cautious of further downside pressure. Should Investors Avoid TGT Stock? Given the combination of weakening fundamentals, downward earnings revisions, and a bearish technical setup, Target appears to be in a sustained downtrend. While the brand’s long-term potential shouldn’t be dismissed, the near-term risks outweigh the rewards. Until Target shows clear signs of stabilizing both its earnings outlook and stock price, investors are better off looking elsewhere. Additional content: Whatever Happened to Pandemic Stocks? Some Are Showing Life Again A handful of stocks benefited massively during the pandemic. It was an interesting time to be an investor, to say the least, and those who targeted the stay-at-home stocks were rewarded handsomely with considerable gains.

Below is a chart illustrating the performance of each over the last year, with the S&P 500 blended in as a benchmark. The bunch has quietly outperformed the S&P 500 over the last year, perhaps a surprise to many. Let’s take a closer look at each. Shopify Stock Keeps Firing Shopify’s platform gained widespread attention during the period as consumers shifted to online shopping. SHOP shares always felt like the strongest bet out of the ‘pandemic basket’ of stocks, particularly so due to the staying power of online shopping. And its earnings results have helped reinforce the idea, which have regularly been strong over recent periods. Sales grew 27% year-over-year throughout its latest period, with SHOP posting double-digit percentage YoY sales growth in ten consecutive periods. Jeff Hoffmeister, CFO, on SHOP’s latest release – “Q1 marked another very strong set of financial results for Shopify, with 27% revenue growth and 15% free cash flow margin. We have now achieved eight consecutive quarters of pro forma revenue growth of 25% or more and seven consecutive quarters of GMV growth greater than 20%, all while increasing our free cash flow. These metrics highlight our strong performance and dedication to supporting our merchants’ success.” ZM Sales Remain Weak Zoom Video Communications’ cloud-native unified communications platform combines video, audio, phone, screen sharing, and chat functionalities. It’s easy to understand why shares were so beloved during the period, as many were forced onto the platform. ZM’s sales grew by a modest 3% from the year-ago period in its latest release, with adjusted EPS of $1.43 climbing 6% year-over-year. Its cash-generating abilities took a big hit, with operating cash flow of $489 million down from the $588 million mark in the same period last year. Free cash flow of $463 million compared to $569.7 million in the year-ago quarter. EPS expectations for its current fiscal year do reflect positivity, with the current $5.36 Zacks Consensus EPS estimate up 5% over the last year. Growth remains muted, though, with the estimate suggesting a 3% pullback year-over-year. The company needs to see meaningful sales growth to get investors interested again, which it’s largely struggled to achieve. Can PTON Stock Turn Around? Peloton shares have been hit the hardest out of the group, down more than 90% since making all-time highs back in January of 2021. Weak quarterly results have continued to drive shares lower over the past year, with PTON again falling short of our consensus estimates in its latest release. Sales of $624 million in the above-mentioned period fell 13% YoY, with its Subscription revenue also declining 4% from the same period last year. Connected Fitness Products Revenue also decreased 27% year-over-year, driven by lower sales and deliveries across all its Connected Fitness Product categories. Consumers just haven’t found PTON’s products appealing post-pandemic, resulting in the above sales decline and subscription losses. Bottom Line While stocks such as these were all widely hailed during the pandemic, they’ve seemingly been shoved to the back of investors’ minds since. Shopify has, and remains, the true leader of the group concerning overall performance and fundamentals. The company hasn’t struggled post-pandemic like the others, with the staying power of online shopping driving the positivity. Zoom has traded sideways for what has felt like forever, with shares in desperate need of a strong quarterly release that reveals meaningful sales growth. Peloton is currently in a more concerning spot, primarily due to weak sales and an overall uninterested consumer. Out of the bunch, Shopify shares continue to reflect the most attractive opportunity.

26.05.25 16:00:07 | Safran SA (SAFRY) Is Up 1.29% in One Week: What You Should Know | ![]() |
Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Safran SA (SAFRY), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Safran SA currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if SAFRY is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up. A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area. For SAFRY, shares are up 1.29% over the past week while the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry is down 2.12% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 10.45% compares favorably with the industry's 10.41% performance as well. Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Safran SA have increased 9.68% over the past quarter, and have gained 23.36% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved -3.17% and 11.56%, respectively. Story Continues Investors should also take note of SAFRY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now, SAFRY is averaging 294,649 shares for the last 20 days. Earnings Outlook The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with SAFRY. Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost SAFRY's consensus estimate, increasing from $2.02 to $2.13 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Bottom Line Given these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that SAFRY is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Safran SA on your short list. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
