1. LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP)

LiveRamp is a crucial data connectivity provider — in essence, it allows other businesses to safely integrate and utilize customer data while staying compliant with evolving privacy regulations. In an era where data security is becoming a top priority, RAMP has seen stellar returns on account of its proven business model. However, it’s the actual metrics that make it stand out — RAMP is perhaps one of the most well-rounded stocks we’ve covered as a Strong Buy — and that’s no exaggeration.

Recent Price: $32.37get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $48.00 

Why we’re watching:

  • Thus far, LiveRamp stock has flown under the radar — RAMP is covered by just 4 analysts at present, and has 1 Strong Buy rating, 1 Buy rating, and 2 Hold ratings. See the ratings
  • With that being said, the average 12-month price forecast, currently at $39.50, paints a much more bullish picture, as it implies a hefty 25.96% upside. 
  • Mark Zgutowicz of Benchmark (a top 10% rated analyst) reiterated a Strong Buy rating on LiveRamp stock, and increased his price target from $45 to a Street-high $48, which implies a 53.08% upside, following the company’s Q4 and FY 2025 earnings.
  • Zgutowicz posited that the quarter was "exceptional," especially in the face of weaker near-term commerce media signals and the macro overhang.
  • Looking ahead, however, the analyst cautioned that LiveRamp Holdings is "not out of the thick macro woods yet," although management noted that its FY 2026 revenue guidance was "quite conservative, even at the low end."  
  • RAMP is the 8th highest stock out of the roughly 4,600 that we track. In the simplest of terms, our quant rating system has identified as one of the best possible equities at the moment.
  • In fact, LiveRamp stock ranks quite highly in all but one of the Component Grade ratings.
  • Let’s start with the weakest link. When it comes to Momentum, RAMP ranks in the 57th percentile — equivalent to or better than 57% of equities.
  • The next lowest ranking can be found in the stock’s Financials rating. In this regard, LiveRamp shares rank in the top 20% of stocks — keep reading, as it’s only going to get better.
  • In terms of Value and Growth, RAMP ranks in the 90th and 94th percentiles, respectively.
  • The stock is even more impressive with regard to Safety and AI — categories in which it ranks in the top 5% of stocks.
  • Lastly, Sentiment is RAMP’s strongest Component Grade rating, in which it ranks in the top 4% of equities. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)

2. MasTec (NYSE: MTZ)

MasTec is an infrastructure construction business — but there’s an important twist. The business specializes in electrical transmission networks, 5G deployment, and renewable energy infrastructure. More recently, it has also expanded into data centers. Per a recent earnings report, our latest pick also has a record-breaking $15.9 billion backlog. However, it is the MTZ’s growth potential going forward that makes it worth a closer look.  

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

Recent Price: $168.30get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $195.00 

Why we’re watching:

  • Analyst coverage of MTZ is overwhelmingly positive — the stock has a total of 12 ratings, split between 11 Strong Buys and 1 Hold. See the ratings  
  • At the tail end of May, Stifel Nicolaus researcher Brian Brophy (a top 8% rated analyst) maintained a Strong Buy rating on the stock, and increased his price target from $171 to $181.
  • Takeaways from investor meetings with MasTec's management raised Stifel Nicolaus' confidence in the company's margin enhancement opportunities, Brophy told readers.
  • Noting that MasTec has a lot of routes to volume expansion, the analyst said the company remains their best idea for 2025.
  • MTZ is also the 5th highest-rated stock in the Engineering & Construction industry, which has an Industry Rating of A.
  • We track roughly 4,600 stocks — and MasTec is the 215th highest-ranked one at present, putting it in the 95th percentile overall and earning it a Zen Rating of A. 
  • On account of the positive analyst coverage we mentioned, MTZ shares rank in the top 6% of equities with regard to Sentiment.
  • However, that’s not even the stock’s strongest suit — that title belongs to Growth, a category in which MasTec stock ranks in the top 1%. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)

3. Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR)

An up-and-coming cybersecurity provider (and our Stock of the Week), Radware has seen a notable surge in price following the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Iran. However, it has been on a steady upward trajectory for quite some time now — and recent events have only put a spotlight on the stock, which ranks highly in several important categories.

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

Recent Price: $27.85get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $24.00 

Why we’re watching:

  • As we’ve noted, RDWR is our Stock of the Week. Our Editor-in-Chief, Steve Reitmeister, added it to his exclusive, 19-stock strong Zen Investor portfolio, and explained why in a Monday article.
  • While the outbreak of armed conflicts always puts a spotlight on cybersecurity, with the advancement of technology, attack surfaces that can be leveraged by bad-faith actors are always expanding — so Radware’s prospects aren’t tied solely to military matters.
  • The company’s most recent 17% earnings surprise put investors on notice that there is a tremendous growth story unfolding now.
  • On top of that, you have a company with a strong balance sheet that includes over $7 in cash per share along with a history of beat and raise earnings reports. 
  • Radware shares have a Zen Rating of A — moreover, a big-picture review of 115 factors has placed it into the top 2% of the more than 4,600 equities that we track.
  • In order to rank so highly, a stock has to demonstrate significant strength in several sub-categories, which we call Component Grade ratings.
  • When it comes to both Growth and Momentum, RDWR ranks in the top 8% of stocks.
  • No less impressive, however, is the stock’s ranking in terms of Sentiment — where it ranks in the 94th percentile.  
  • We have to address one important point — at present, the stock is only covered by 1 Wall Street analyst, and his forecast implies a downside. However, on account of a string of earnings beats and solid fundamentals, I’d put much more stock in Steve’s appraisal of Radware’s prospects.
  • Last, but certainly not least, is how RDWR stacks up against peers and competitors. The Software Infrastructure industry has an Industry rating of A, and consists of 128 stocks — Radware is the 4th highest-rated one. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)
