Read MoreHide Full Article

 

On today’s new episode of Free Lunch here at Zacks, which is back by popular demand, Associate Stock Strategist Ben Rains dives into everything from Under Armour’s (UAA - Free Report) Q2 earnings release to what to expect from Apple (AAPL - Free Report) after the closing bell Tuesday.

Under Armour posted a narrower-than-expected second-quarter loss, yet its stock fell on North American weakness. Beyond Meat (BYND - Free Report) , which has crushed Uber (UBER - Free Report) and Lyft (LYFT - Free Report) since going public, saw its shares tumble despite a massive jump in revenue. Capital One (COF - Free Report) stock also fell on data breach news.

Meanwhile, Chinese and U.S. negotiators resumed trade talks Tuesday. But a meaningful deal seems far away as President Trump took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on China. Aside from Trump and China, Wall Street looks to the start of the Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting for rate cut updates.  

On top of that, some positive U.S. economic indicators were released Tuesday morning that pointed to strong consumer sentiment. And all eyes will be on Apple when it reports its Q3 fiscal 2019 financial results after the closing bell. The iPhone giant has faced a downturn, but the firm’s estimates show some signs of life.

The episode then closes out with a look at a new Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock, as it will every Tuesday and Thursday. Today, we discussed why The Boston Beer Company (SAM - Free Report) appears so strong following its impressive Q2 results last week.
