For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – December 28, 2021 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO - Free Report) , Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Free Report) , BlackRock, Inc. (BLK - Free Report) , General Electric Company (GE - Free Report) and Carvana Company (CVNA - Free Report) .
Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:
Top Analyst Reports for Cisco, Verizon and BlackRock
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Cisco Systems, Verizon, and BlackRock. These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
Shares of Cisco have outperformed the Zacks Computer Networking industry over the past year (+42.7% vs. +40.4%), with this legacy Tech leader benefiting from strength in its product portfolio, customer segments and momentum in product order growth.
Strength in Webscale business and solid uptake of switching solutions, especially Catalyst 9000 and Meraki offerings, are other key catalysts for growth. The buyout of Acacia Communications also bodes well for the long haul. Component shortages and ongoing supply chain issues, however, are likely to persist through the second half of fiscal 2022. This might dent revenues as well as margin expansion.
Verizon shares have lost -6.2% in the year-to-date period against the Zacks Wireless National industry’s loss of -7.4%, however, things seem to be improving for the company. The Zacks analyst believes that Verizon remains well-poised to benefit from a disciplined network strategy and a customer-centric business model.
Verizon expects this momentum to continue on the back of diligent execution of operational plans along with dedicated 5G endeavors. The proposed sale of Verizon Media reaffirms its focus on its core wireless business. Hefty expenses on promotions, lucrative discounts to attract customers, and an intensely competitive U.S. wireless market are some of the major headwinds though.
Shares of BlackRock have gained +5% in the last six months against the Zacks Investment Management industry’s loss of -5%. The Zacks analyst believes that BlackRock is well-poised to capitalize on opportunistic acquisitions and steadily improving AUM balance.
BLK’s initiatives to restructure the equity business along with strategic acquisitions are expected to keep aiding revenue growth, and, hence, expand its global reach and market share. High administration costs as well as heavy dependence on overseas revenues, however, remain concerning for BlackRock.
