Shares of Alphabet have outperformed the Zacks Internet Services industry over the past year (+83.1% vs. +59%) on the back of the search giant's advertising leverage. The Zacks analyst also points out  Alphabet’s focus on innovation, strategic acquisitions and Android OS should continue to generate strong cash flow.

The company's robust cloud division continues to be a major driver of growth. Expanding data centers will continue to bolster its presence in the cloud space. Google’s mobile search is also constantly gaining momentum. Strong focus on AI innovation and home automation space should aid business growth in the long term. Its growing litigation issues, however, remain concerning.

Abbott shares have gained +2.8% over the last six months against the Zacks Medical Products industry’s loss of -0.4%. The Zacks analyst believes that its branded generics and international diabetes businesses are likely to drive growth in the coming quarters. New product launches and acquisitions should boost sales further.

Underlying Diagnostics sales increased in the second quarter on the back of improving routine diagnostic testing demand. The increasing vaccination trend and a steady decline in new cases, however, have led to a significant reduction in COVID-19 testing sales for the company.

Shares of T-Mobile have gained +12.4% in the past three months against the Zacks Wireless National industry’s loss of -2.3%. The Zacks analyst believes that T-Mobile’s superfast Ultra Capacity 5G, that covers 140 million people, is on track to reach 200 million nationwide by the end of 2021.

About one-third of Sprint customers have been moved to the T-Mobile network. Its diversified growth strategy and network leadership also instill optimism. However, it operates in a fiercely competitive and almost saturated U.S. telecom market. Several promotional activities to lure customers from rivals are likely to continue to hurt its profitability.
