The gold income breakthrough most investors are missing  

It's not a mining stock. It's not an option trade. And it's not physical gold you have to store in a vault. A quiet little fund - trading for just $15 - that's been delivering up to $1,152 a month to regular investors. It's a smarter, faster, and easier way to ride gold's surge and get paid monthly while you do it.

1. Yext (NYSE: YEXT) 

Yext is in the business of brand management — more accurately, the company helps other businesses ensure that their public-facing information is consistent and accurate across a variety of channels such as search engines, voice assistants, and apps. Yext’s AI platform has allowed it to position itself as a key infrastructure player in the space — and Wall Street is confident that the company will leverage its substantial war-chest efficiently going forward.

Recent Price: $8.88 — get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $10.00 

Why we’re watching:

• At present, YEXT has 4 analyst ratings — 2 Strong Buys, 1 Buy, and 1 Hold. See the ratings
• On June 4, after the company’s Q1 2026 earnings report, B. Riley Securities researcher Naved Khan (a top 8% rated analyst) upgraded the stock to a Strong Buy rating, and hiked his price target from $7 to a Street-high $10.
• Upgrading the stock and hiking their price target significantly in response, Khan pointed to the scale of sequential improvement in the company's key performance indicators as well as to the quarter's "modestly better-than-expected results and guidance.
• The analyst backgrounded that Yext has a track record of strong execution, reflected in meaningful EBITDA margin expansion over the past two years and accretive acquisitions.
• Looking ahead, Khan told readers that B. Riley Securities "also sees signs of early positive traction for Scout in its closed beta, which should bode well for retention and ARR growth once rolled out." 
• YEXT is currently the 4th highest-rated stock in the Software Infrastructure industry, which has an Industry Rating of A.
• Stocks with a Zen Rating of A, like YEXT, have provided an average annual return of 32.52% in the last 22 years. A Zen Rating of A is given to stocks that our system ranks in the top 5% based on an analysis of 115 proprietary factors divided into 7 Component Grade categories.
• As if that wasn’t enough, YEXT actually ranks in the top 99% of stocks on the whole — it is currently the 43rd highest-rated equity out of the more than 4,600 that we keep track of.
• So, why has our quant rating system singled out Yext? It ranks in the top 4% in terms of Growth, as well as the top 10% when it comes to Financials.
• Last but not least, the stock ranks in the 89th percentile according to its Artificial Intelligence Component Grade rating. In simple terms, a neural network trained on more than two decades of fundamental and technical data has picked up on subtle signs that hint at outperformance to come.

2. Limbach Holdings (NASDAQ: LMB) 

The HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems that keep both critical infrastructure and profitable ventures going are often relegated to a case of “out of sight, out of mind”. Well, unless you’re Limbach Holdings — then it’s your bread and butter. LMB stock doesn’t depend on new construction, either — maintaining and upgrading these systems provides the company with a stable, steady source of revenue.

Zen Rating: B (Buy) — see full analysis >  

Recent Price: $135.23 — get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $141.00 

Why we’re watching:

• LMB hasn’t attracted much attention from Wall Street thus far. Only two analysts issue ratings for the stock — and both have deemed it a Strong Buy. See the ratings
• With that being said, there’s the issue of quantity vs quality to consider. While few in number, those two analysts — Brian Brophy of Stifel Nicolaus and Robert Brown of Lake Street, are ranked in the top 9% and top 13% of analysts, respectively.
• Brophy maintained a Strong Buy rating on Limbach Holdings after Stifel Nicolaus hosted a series of investor meetings with the company’s CEO. The analyst hiked his price target from $13 to $141.
• Per the analyst, the firm’s takeaways increased their confidence regarding "the runway for additional margin enhancement in spite of meaningful improvements already experienced over the past few years."
• LMB belongs to the Engineering & Construction industry, which has an Industry rating of A. Out of a total of 42 stocks in this sector, Limbach Holdings ranks 10th.
• Limbach Holdings currently ranks in the top 10% of the stocks that we track, and has an overall Zen Rating of B. Historically, stocks with this distinction have provided an average annual return of 19.88%.
• The company’s balance sheet is its biggest strength — in terms of Financials, LMB ranks in the 95th percentile of equities.
• It seems like that strong financial standing has been put to good use, seeing as how Limbach Holdings also ranks in the top 7% of stocks when it comes to Growth, which indicates expanding margins and strong earnings per share (EPS) growth. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)

Zen Rating: A (Strong Buy) — see full analysis >  

Recent Price: $77.75 — get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $95.00

• Barclays researcher Jeffrey A. Bernstein (a top 12% rated analyst) recently doubled down on a Strong Buy rating, and increased his 12-month price forecast for US Foods Holding from $85 to a Street-high $95.
• Bernstein reported that they attended a meeting with U.S. Foods Holding's management, and that their takeaways catalyzed their price target hike.
• In spite of the latest consumer-led sales challenges, management's overall tone was one of continued confidence that it would achieve its 2025 to 2027 adjusted EBITDA and earnings goals, the analyst told investors.
• USFD is the top rated stock in the Food Distribution industry, which has an Industry Rating of A.
• The stock ranks in the top 4% of the equities we track, giving it an overall Zen Rating of A. Let’s dig deeper into the Component Grades that shape that grade. 
• On account of a stable, mature business model, and relatively predictable earnings, USFD ranks highly in terms of Safety — in the top 3%, to be exact.
• US Foods Holding also ranks in the top 14% in terms of Artificial Intelligence, and the top 18% in terms of Financials.
• While a Value Component Grade rating in the top 29% seems relatively uninspiring, readers should note that the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio of 1. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)
