Top Analyst Reports for T-Mobile, AstraZeneca & Comcast

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS), AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) and Comcast Corp. (CMCSA). These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today. You can see all of today's research reports here >>> Ahead of Wall Street The daily 'Ahead of Wall Street' article is a must-read for all investors who would like to be ready for that day's trading action.

You can read today's AWS here >>> Pre-Markets Mixed at Start of Prime Day, Awaiting Trade Deals Today's Featured Research Reports T-Mobile's shares have outperformed the Zacks Wireless National industry over the past year (+34.5% vs. +30.7%). The company is benefiting from industry-leading postpaid customer growth with a record-low churn rate. Its acquisition strategy has significantly strengthened its position in the wireless industry over the past few years. TMUS' 2.5 GHz 5G spectrum delivers superfast speeds and extensive coverage with signals that go through walls and trees. This boosts its competitive edge against companies that provide 5G networks controlled by the mmWave spectrum. However, owing to the stock's premium valuation, we believe investors should remain cautious as macroeconomic factors, market saturation, or economic downturns can significantly impact overvalued stocks like TMUS. Fierce competition is straining profitability. To lure customers from competitors, T-Mobile has launched several low-priced service plans for consumers. This has put pressure on profits. (You can read the full research report on T-Mobile here >>>) Shares of AstraZeneca have outperformed the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry over the year-to-date period (+7.7% vs. -2%). The company's key drugs like Lynparza, Tagrisso, Imfinzi and Fasenra should keep driving revenues. Its pipeline is strong, with pivotal late- and mid-stage pipeline data readouts lined up. AstraZeneca has also been engaged in external acquisitions and strategic collaborations to boost its pipeline. AstraZeneca believes it can post industry-leading top-line growth in the 2025-2030 period. However, potentially lower sales of Lynparza and Farxiga in China, the impact of Part D redesign on U.S. oncology sales and slowing sales of rare disease drugs are expected to hurt the top line in 2025. Estimates have declined slightly ahead of the Q2 earnings release. The company has a mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. (You can read the full research report on AstraZeneca here >>>) Comcast's shares have underperformed the Zacks Cable Television industry over the year-to-date period (-3.1% vs. +4.2%). The company has been persistently suffering from video-subscriber attrition due to cord-cutting. Broadband prospects are suffering from increased competition from fixed wireless and fiber businesses. Theme Parks revenues declined due to lower revenues at domestic theme parks, driven by lower guest attendance, including the impact of the Hollywood wildfires. A leveraged balance sheet is a major concern for Comcast. Nevertheless, steady growth in Content & Experiences revenues driven by steady performances by Studios and Media segments is positive. Its streaming service, Peacock, has been a key catalyst in driving broadband sales. Decreasing programming & production costs bode well for CMCSA's profitability. Strong free cash flow generation ability is noteworthy. (You can read the full research report on Comcast here >>>) Other noteworthy reports we are featuring today include Entergy Corp. (ETR), Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN) and Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS).

However, housing market softness and macro risks hurt prospects. Sarepta (SRPT) Growth Outlook Dimmed by Elevidys Concerns Though Sarepta's pipeline of LGMD therapies holds potential, the Zacks analyst is concerned with two Elevidys-linked deaths and their impact on topline growth. New Upgrades Loan Growth & Strong Liquidity Supports SouthState (SSB) Per the Zacks analyst, SouthState's expanding loan balance and solid non-interest income will aid top-line growth.

Stanley Park Train won't return this year, and maybe never will

The beloved and beleaguered Stanley Park Train will remain closed for the rest of the year. The beloved and beleaguered Stanley Park Train will officially remain off the tracks for the rest of 2025 – meaning no Halloween or Christmas route – and the City of Vancouver is deliberating the future of the attraction. The 1960s-era locomotive was halted early last holiday season after a worker got sick from exhaust fumes, adding to a long list of reasons the attraction has operated only sporadically over the past five years, including mechanical problems, the pandemic, and coyotes. In a presentation to the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation Monday, staff said the train is at the end of its life, and therefore repairs are becoming more frequent and expensive. The Stanley Park Train lost $2.9 million from 2019 to 2024 and about $700,000 this year, according to the report. The situation as it stands poses safety, financial, reputational, and operational risks, the park board heard. Staff presented three possible options for the future of the site on Monday, which include electrifying and fixing the current train, replacing the train and its tracks, and creating a new attraction entirely with a third-party partner. 'Preliminary analysis shows that a full renewal of the train and the ancillary buildings and amenities could require substantial capital investment,' reads a Tuesday news release from the City of Vancouver. 'Alternative operating models, including some form of partnership or third-party operation could lead to a revitalized, reimagined attraction that would reduce the reliance on tax dollars to return the site to operation.' Fixing or replacing the train would cost about $8 million and would garner the lowest financial returns, staff told the board. Meanwhile, the report said the city has received 'multiple proposals' from businesses to build something new, and claimed that would lead to more revenue and more visitors, including tourists. Park Board Commissioner Scott Jensen told CTV News he'd most like to see the train remain in Stanley Park, but will keep an open mind and wants to hear what residents prefer. The presentation indicated ticket prices at an externally operated site could go up to $45. Staff anticipate an increase in prices if the attraction remains at the status quo as well, up to $20. 'I would want to look at what is going to be the best fit for that space that lets the most people have access to it, you know, some parks should not be for some and exclude others,' Jensen said. The specifics of keeping the train in action or remaking the site with a new business model remain up in the air. Consultation on the options is expected to begin this quarter and a call for expression of interest will launch later this year. Park board staff are expected to present further findings in early 2026. 'As part of their report, staff will bring forward proposed strategies for engaging key interest holders and the public, as appropriate, on any changes to the train and its site,' the city's statement reads.

@ the Bell: Trump targets BRICS allies and key trade partners with tariff warnings

Canada's main stock index lost ground on Tuesday as investors weighed new tariff threats from US President Donald Trump and looming deadlines for international trade agreements. On Monday, Trump issued letters to 14 countries—including Japan and South Korea—warning of steep tariff hikes on US imports, though he delayed their enforcement until August 1st. Canada, which recently scrapped its proposed digital services tax on American tech firms to keep trade negotiations on track, is aiming to finalize a deal by July 21st. Meanwhile, US markets attempted to rebound after a downturn triggered by Trump's latest trade measures. The president also floated the possibility of an additional 10 per cent tariff on nations that support what he described as the 'Anti-American policies' of the BRICS bloc, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The Canadian dollar traded for 73.12 cents US compared to 73.18 cents US on Monday. US crude futures traded $0.41 higher at US$68.34 a barrel, and the Brent contract rose $0.57 to US$70.15 a barrel. The price of gold was down US30.11 to US$3,302.66. In world markets, the Nikkei was up 101.13 points to ¥39,688.81, the Hang Seng was up 260.24 points to HK$24,148.07, the FTSE was up 47.65 points to ₤8,854.18, and the DAX was up 133.24 points to €24,206.91.
