πŸ“‰ 5 Top Stocks to Watch Immediately

Most investors spend months hunting for the next big winner.

Our team of 5 Zacks experts already did that work for you.

From thousands of publicly traded companies, each expert selected a single stock they believe has the best shot at gaining +100% or more in the next 12 months. The result is our just-released Special Report, 5 Stocks Set to Double.

You can download it right now, free of charge.

What separates these 5 picks from a typical list of high-potential stocks? Each one had to clear two hurdles.

First, a compelling case for long-term upside, the kind that could take a stock from interesting to extraordinary.

Second, a strong Zacks Rank, which means earnings estimates are already trending in the right direction. That's a key predictor of outperformance over the next 1 to 3 months. So you're not just looking at stocks with long-term promise. You're looking at stocks positioned to move sooner rather than later.

Of course, not every pick will be a winner. But while we can't guarantee future performance, previous editions of this report have racked up gains of +143.08%, +175.3%, and even +340.3%.ΒΉ

The question isn't whether these stocks have potential. The question is how long you're willing to wait before finding out.

Every week you hold off is another week these tickers could start climbing without you. That's potential revenue you don't get back.

Good Investing,

BREAKING NEWS

😬 The AI Bubble Just Sprang Its First Leak.

OpenAI makes ChatGPT. You know ChatGPT. Your kids use it. Your colleagues use it. It’s the most talked about technology product in the world right now. The company behind it just admitted it is missing its own targets. Badly.

The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI missed internal targets for both revenue and new users. ChatGPT's share of global AI web traffic dropped from 87% a year ago to 64% today, while Google's Gemini climbed from 6% to 22% in the same period. The CFO privately warned company leaders that OpenAI might not be able to pay for its own computing contracts if revenue does not grow fast enough.

The market heard that and immediately started selling everything with AI in the name. Here is the damage so far this morning:

  • πŸ”΄ $ORCL dropped 7.5% in premarket. It has a $300 billion, five-year deal to supply computing power to OpenAI. That bet just got a lot riskier.

  • πŸ”΄ $NVDA, $AMD, and $AVGO fell between 2% and 6%. OpenAI has multi-gigawatt chip agreements with all three. If OpenAI cannot pay, those deals are in jeopardy.

  • πŸ”΄ CoreWeave dropped 7% and SoftBank, one of OpenAI's biggest backers, sank 10% in Asia overnight.

Then there is oil. Brent crude hit $111 a barrel this morning as US-Iran peace talks stalled again. That is not far from all-time highs. Every company that moves goods, flies planes, or burns fuel is feeling that.

We have been saying this for weeks. The market has been pricing in a perfect world. Peace deal done. AI printing money. Rate cuts coming. The problem is that none of those things are actually confirmed yet.

The Munch Take: The AI trade was built on the assumption that spending $100 billion on data centers would generate $200 billion in returns. OpenAI just raised its hand and said the revenue is not showing up on schedule. That is a crack. Not a collapse. But cracks have a habit of spreading. My wife asked me this morning if we owned any OpenAI stock. I said it is not public yet. She said "good." She always knows.

STOCK OF THE DAY

🎡 Spotify Just Raised Your Prices Again. Then Missed Earnings. You're Welcome.

$SPOT is down 12% in premarket this morning and the irony is almost too much to handle.

The Q1 numbers were actually solid. Revenue hit $4.53 billion, up 14% year over year. Operating income hit a record $715 million. Monthly active users climbed 12% to 761 million. Premium subscribers grew 9% to 293 million. Good quarter. Then they opened their mouths about Q2.

Spotify guided for Q2 operating income of $630 million, well below the $684 million analysts expected. The stock immediately cratered. Wall Street does not care what you did last quarter. It cares what you are about to do.

πŸ“ˆ The Bull Case:

  • 761 million monthly users is a genuinely dominant position. Nobody is catching them.

  • Record operating income shows the price increases are actually working. The math is improving.

  • Podcasts, audiobooks, and AI-generated playlists are opening new revenue streams beyond music.

πŸ“‰ The Bear Case:

  • Spotify has missed earnings in two of its last four quarters. The guidance track record is not inspiring.

  • Ad revenue growth is disappointing. If the economy slows, brands cut ad budgets first.

  • Every price increase pushes more users toward cancellation. There is a ceiling somewhere.

The Munch Take: Spotify has raised prices so many times I genuinely cannot remember what I originally signed up for. At this point I need to add it as a line item in the household budget next to the mortgage and groceries. My wife uses it for one playlist she made in 2019. We are paying $22 a month for that playlist. I’m not happy about it.
