For Immediate Release

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: Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA - Free Report) , QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM - Free Report) , Novo Nordisk AS (NVO - Free Report) , The Boeing Company (BA - Free Report) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL - Free Report) .
Here are highlights from Tuesday’s Analyst Blog:
Top Research Reports for Alibaba, Qualcomm & Novo Nordisk
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 Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA - Free Report) , QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM - Free Report) and Novo Nordisk AS (NVO - Free Report) . These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
Alibaba shares have gained +24.4% in the year-to-date period against the S&P 500’s rise of +14.8%, on the back of steady improvement in core commerce and strong cloud business. The Zacks analyst believes that Alibaba’s strengthening cloud business with its expanding customer base continues to drive its performance. Its New Retail strategy is also gaining momentum. This is aiding growth in Tmall Import, Hema fresh food grocery business and Intime Department Stores.
However, higher costs associated with new initiatives remain a major concern. Also, COVID-19 related economic uncertainties and macro headwinds in China are major concerns. In addition, rising competition from e-commerce players poses a risk.
QUALCOMM shares have outperformed the Zacks Wireless Equipment industry in the year to date period (+79.1% vs. +45.0%). The Zacks analyst believes that with the rollout of 5G technology, Qualcomm is benefiting from investments toward building a licensing program in mobile. The company is focused on retaining its leadership in the 5G chipset market and mobile connectivity. It resolved a dispute with Huawei and inked a new long-term patent license agreement, which augurs well for long-term revenues.
However, lower handset shipments due to the COVID-19 pandemic remain a near-term headwind. Qualcomm is expected to face softness in demand from China. Over the past years, the company’s margins have declined due to high operating and research and development expenses.
Shares of Novo Nordisk have gained +20.4% over the past year against the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry’s increase of +6.8%. The Zacks analyst believes that the company’s well-known drug Ozempic is off to a solid start and the launch of Rybelsus looks good. The label of Ozempic was further expanded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to include a cardiovascular indication. Novo Nordisk has one of the broadest diabetes portfolios in the industry. Tresiba, Victoza, Ozempic, Xultophy and Saxenda maintain momentum for the company.
However, lower realized prices in the Unites States, loss of exclusivity for products in hormone replacement therapy and intensifying competition will affect sales. Moreover, the impact of COVID-19 will adversely affect the performance in the upcoming quarters.
Other noteworthy reports we are featuring today include Boeing and Delta Air Lines.
Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
