One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Different than value or momentum investors, growth-oriented investors are concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, they'll want to focus on the Growth Style Score, which analyzes characteristics like projected and historical earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Former OpenAI Board Member Questions Zuckerberg AI Hiring Spree
By and Haslinda Amin Save Meta Platforms Inc. 's lavish multimillion-dollar budget for recruiting top AI talent may not guarantee success, said Helen Toner, former OpenAI board member and director of strategy at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology. The poaching of artificial intelligence researchers from the likes of OpenAI — with salaries in the tens of millions of dollars — and the debut of Meta's new Superintelligence group comes after the Facebook operator developed a reputation for 'having a dysfunctional team,' Toner said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. The practice of luring away high performers from each other's AI labs has intensified among Silicon Valley companies since the launch of ChatGPT, she said.

Paramount and Trump in 'Advanced' Settlement Talks As Merger Deadline Nears
A deal to settle a lawsuit from President Trump against CBS News over its handling of a 60 Minutes interview could be close. Lawyers for both sides moved to pause all proceedings until Thursday, citing 'good faith' and 'advanced' settlement discussions, according to a court document filed on Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Canada Scraps Digital Services Tax After Trump Trade Talks Threat Trump "Terminating" U.S.-Canada Trade Talks Over Streaming Tax That's It, The F-Word Is Officially Boring The move comes ahead of the merger termination deadline on July 7. If the deal isn't completed by then, a second 90-day extension would expire on Oct. 6. In the scenario that the transaction isn't greenlit at that point, it's believed that Paramount and Skydance will abandon the deal rather than seek another extension. The holdup involves the Federal Communication Commission's refusal to transfer Paramount's broadcast licenses. The dispute has influenced Paramount's approach to a lawsuit accusing it of deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris. A mediator recently proposed a $20 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit, with the majority going to Trump's presidential foundation, The Wall Street Journal reported, which noted that Trump has insisted on an apology. It's been reported that CBS offered as much as $15 million. Trump's legal team faced a Monday deadline to reply to CBS' motion to compel discovery. 'The Parties respectfully submit that good cause to stay all proceedings exists because the Parties are engaged in good faith, advanced, settlement negotiations,' reads the filing. Absent a deal, the court is expected to rule on CBS' bid to dismiss the lawsuit in the coming months. In that filing, the network argued that the complaint is an 'affront to the First Amendment' and that Trump is looking to 'punish a news organization for constitutionally protected editorial judgments they do not like.' The pathway to Skydance's acquisition of Paramount getting approved involves a settlement of the 60 Minutes lawsuit, after which the FCC will approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses.
