For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – June 13, 2018 – 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 United Technologies , PayPal (PYPL - Free Report) , ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) , Raytheon and Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) .
Top Analyst Reports for United Technologies, PayPal and ConocoPhillips
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 United Technologies, PayPal and ConocoPhillips. These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
United Technologies’ shares have gained +6.8% in the last year, outperforming the Zacks Diversified Operations industry, which has lost -14% over the same period. United Technologies serves various end-markets. The Zacks analyst thinks that this allows it to remain profitable even during tough economic times.
The company has offered bullish guidance for 2018 on healthy demand trends and is likely to deliver sustainable earnings growth in future with Rockwell merger. United Technologies remains focused on four key priorities: flawless execution, innovation, structural cost reduction and disciplined capital allocation to fuel its growth engine. However, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the company’s bottom-line growth.
In addition, a disruption in deliveries from suppliers, capacity constraints, production disruptions, price changes or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities is likely to have an adverse effect on the company’s ability to meet delivery schedules, thereby increasing its operating costs.
Shares of PayPal have outperformed the Zacks Internet Software industry over the last year (+61.1% vs. +35%). PayPal continues to benefit from its ongoing strategic partnerships as well as new partnerships with CaixaBank, Bankia, HSBC and Barclays Bank, which remain positive for its improving customer base.
Additionally, the introduction of new services and offers for the debit and credit card users are helping it to attract new customers to the platform. The Zacks analyst thinks an expanding product & services portfolio and strengthening presence in global market will continue to benefit the company’s total payment volume.
Further, a new agreement with eBay will make PayPal the former’s payment partner, which will help the company to recover what it had lost from the discontinuation of the previous partnership between the two companies. However, continuous exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks are major concerns. Also, intensifying competition from major players in the market remains a headwind.
ConocoPhillips’ shares are up +51.8% over the last year, outperforming the Zacks U.S. Integrated Oil industry, which has gained +38.3% over the same period. As oil prices continue to improve, ConocoPhillips gains from more oil production in the Eagle Ford and Bakken as well as concentrating on high-margin production region.
Significant opportunities are left for ConocoPhillips in the Eagle Ford where it owns 3,400 undrilled locations that could lend access to almost 2.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent estimated potential reserves. However, the Zacks analyst is cautious about ConocoPhillips’ expectations of a rise in production and operating expenses.
For 2018, the firm projects production and operating expenses at $5.7 billion, higher than $5.2 billion for 2017. Moreover, ConocoPhillips’ long-term debt is more than double its cash balance, which is a concern.
Other noteworthy reports we are featuring today include Raytheon and Tesla.
