A note from our sponsors...

🔥 HOT: Despite losing over 10% in the past month, AT&T (T) is a bona fide Hot pick. Why? In a word: Anticipation. Recent stories highlighting AT&T’s consistent subscriber growth and potential edge over Verizon and other peers appear to have lit a fire under analysts — Smart Money has taken an interest in the stock, with 5 Buy or Strong Buy ratings in the past month and change. The Zen Ratings support a bullish case for the stock — it earns an overall B (Buy) rating, ranking in the top 15% of stocks we track based on a 115-factor review. Its standout Component Grade is Safety — it earns an above-average B, indicating it’s an ideal pick for conservative investors who want lower volatility. Should you buy T for runaway gains? No. But if you’re looking for a potentially well-priced pick with serious operational muscle in the 5G era that can also be a dividend anchor for income-focused portfolios, it’s a worthwhile watch. 

🥶 NOT: Past Hot pick Uber Technologies (UBER) just got downgraded to a C (Hold) from our Zen Ratings system. Despite its undisputed rideshare royalty status, the stock appears to be stuck at a red light. Even high-profile new partnerships with Hibbett and platform expansions beyond just meal delivery have drummed up little investor enthusiasm; shares have dipped nearly 4% in the past month, and UBER is currently only rated #117 of the 191 stocks in its industry, indicating many other stronger options potentially available. (See all top-rated App stocks here.) Digging into the Component Grades, aside from an impressive A rating for Financials, UBER scores mostly Cs for key areas like Value, Growth, and Safety — and a dismal D grade for Sentiment. Could it be that UBER’s easy exponential growth days are over? Too soon to say, but based on the fundamentals, we’re taking a wait and see approach.  

🔥 HOT: GE Aerospace (GE) appears to be enjoying a jet-fueled moment. The storied conglomerate, now laser-focused on commercial aviation and tech-driven manufacturing, has enjoyed slow but steady gains over the past few months. Nothing too impressive week by week, but it all adds up to an impressive 13% jump in the past 3 months. Analysts and pros are into the stock — big-name firms like UBS and RBC have noted the company's "stellar quarters" and persistent outperformance in commercial jet engines and services. According to our 115-factor analysis, GE earns a Zen Rating of B (Buy), with Component Grades showing that GE shines particularly bright for Momentum, where it earns a stellar A rating, indicating it’s a stock on an upward trajectory that is likely to continue into the future. Sentiment is similarly strong with a B rating. The fact that GE was recently upgraded from a C (Hold) to Buy, added to the bullish commentary, make GE an appealing watch in the coming weeks. 

🥶 NOT: Is big-name InfoTech company Accenture (ACN) in trouble? Its much-hyped collaboration with Nvidia to push AI boundaries may be more fizzle than sizzle, based on two things: A) Recent neutral ratings from both Citi and Wells Fargo B) A recent downgrade in Zen Ratings from a B (Buy) to a C (Hold) rating. The biggest problem, as told by the Component Grades that shape the overall score, is Growth — the stock earns a disappointing D in this area, with lagging price action proving the point. Sadly, solid Financials and Safety (both B) can't quite overpower the yawn-worthy C grades in Value, Growth, and Sentiment. With the brightest bullish news already baked in, this is the definition of a Hold for cautious investors — possibly even a Sell for those looking for more spark.
