For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – May 20, 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: AT&T Inc. (T - Free Report) , SAP SE (SAP - Free Report) , Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) , Snap Inc. (SNAP - Free Report) and Capital One Financial Corporation (COF - Free Report) .
Here are highlights from Wednesday’s Analyst Blog:
Top Stock Reports for AT&T, SAP and AMD
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 AT&T, SAP SE, and Advanced Micro Devices. These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
Shares of AT&T broadly tracked the market this year, but have lost ground meaningfully following the recent announcement to spin off its media assets and merge them with the complementary assets of Discovery.
The Zacks analyst believes that the transaction will enable the company to focus on core operations, reduce huge debt burden and unlock value by monetizing assets in order to augment its network infrastructure throughout the country. The company expects this holistic growth policy to add significant customer value and generate healthy ROI across the business.
AT&T has also unveiled a comprehensive 5G strategy and reaffirmed its guidance for 2021. However, the company is facing a steady decline in linear TV subscribers, legacy services and wireline division. As it tries to woo customers with discounts and freebies, margins tend to fall. Spectrum crisis in a saturated wireless market and continued cord-cutting remain major headwinds.
Shares of SAP have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Software industry in the last three-month period (+9.7% vs. +2.9%). The Zacks analyst believes that the company is benefiting from robust uptake of S/4HANA, and SuccessFactors Employee Central solutions. Momentum witnessed by Ariba and Fieldglass solutions is also noteworthy.
SAP's alliances with IBM, Microsoft, Accenture and Verizon favor business prospects. Solid demand for e-commerce, digital supply chain and other cloud platform solutions, augurs well over the longer haul. SAP's performance is also likely to gain from healthy contribution from Sapphire Ventures.
However, soft uptake of software licenses and support offerings remains a headwind. Further, reduction in business travel due to pandemic are anticipated to impact Concur-related revenues, at least in the near term. Besides, rise in investments to enhance cloud-based offerings are likely to weigh on margins.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices have gained +32.0% in the past one-year period against the Zacks Electronics – Semiconductors industry’s gain of +52.5%. Although shares of AMD have underperformed the industry over the past year, the Zacks analyst believes that growing clout of 7 nanometer (nm) products in the data center vertical, driven by work-from-home and online learning trends, is a key catalyst.
AMD is benefiting from sales of its Ryzen and EPYC server processors, courtesy of increasing proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in industries like cloud gaming and supercomputing domain. Further, the Xilinx acquisition is anticipated to boost AMD's data center business.
Moreover, alliances with Amazon, Microsoft, Baidu and JD.com augment business prospects. Nevertheless, increasing investments on product development amid intense competition from NVIDIA and Intel are likely to dent margins at least in the near term.
Other noteworthy reports we are featuring today include Snap and Capital One Financial.
