ATDM celebrates 1,000th graduate since launch of program. Article content DANVILLE, Va. — Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) recently celebrated its 1,000th program completer, highlighting the program's continued success in building the defense workforce. Article content 'ATDM has given me a second chance at having a fulfilling career that provides a true sense of purpose,' said Claypool. 'It's not just a job, it's a path that has equipped me with skills that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.' Article content Glenn Claypool was recognized as the 1,000th program completer and joined fellow students in celebrating the cohort's completion of the 16-week rigorous workforce training. Claypool discovered ATDM after completing a bachelor's degree in business management and working in sales before deciding to pursue certification in non-destructive testing. Article content 'ATDM has given me a second chance at having a fulfilling career that provides a true sense of purpose,' said Claypool. 'It's not just a job, it's a path that has equipped me with skills that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.' Article content Created to support defense manufacturing initiatives across the United States and supply workers for the maritime industrial base, ATDM is well on its way toward its goal of 800-1,000 skilled tradespeople completing the program each year. Article content 'Reaching 1,000 ATDM graduates bolsters a skilled workforce that our maritime industrial base needs urgently,' said Matt Sermon, direct reporting program manager of the Maritime Industrial Base Program. 'ATDM graduates are contributing directly to building and sustaining our Fleet. As we scale this proven model nationwide, we're helping our maritime industrial base develop the workforce needed to maintain maritime superiority for generations to come.' Article content Graduating students complete 600 hours of intensive, hands-on training over 16 weeks, earning certifications in one of five high-demand defense industry skilled trades. These are high-paying careers in additive manufacturing, CNC machining, non-destructive testing, quality control inspection (metrology) and welding.

'Graduates of this program are not just entering a workforce; you are stepping into a mission. Whether you're heading to shipyards, maritime manufacturing facilities or defense plants across the country – your work will directly impact our national security.'

We're excited about the future and look forward to continuing this successful partnership.'

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Ford Motor and Qualcomm
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – July 31, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Microsoft MSFT, Meta Platforms META, Ford Motor Co. F and Qualcomm QCOM. Here are highlights from Thursday's Analyst Blog: Markets Drop on Powell Presser Message, Plus Earnings After the Bell Markets were floating along reasonably well yesterday. Then Fed Chair Powell started talking about using the Fed funds rate to thwart tariff-led inflation in the U.S. economy, and they all dropped significantly. The Nasdaq managed to squeak back into the green by the close, +31 points or +0.15%, while the other major indexes — the Dow, S&P 500 and small-cap Russell 2000 were all down -0.38%, -0.12% and -0.86%, respectively. Fed Keeps Rates Steady; Powell Sees Cuts as "Next Step" Unsurprisingly, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) yesterday decided to keep interest rates steady at +4.25-4.50%, as they have in all five meetings so far in 2025. While the Fed acknowledged that growth moderated in the first half of the year, unemployment and the labor market were fine, overall. However, it sees inflation and uncertainty elevated. The difference between yesterday's monetary policy decision and those released earlier this year was we did not see a unanimous decision to keep rates steady. Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman — both Fed governors, not regional presidents — opted for a 25 basis point (bps) cut; Fed Governor Adriana Kugler was absent and did not vote. Fed Chair Jerome Powell, facing consistent heat from President Trump and his supplicants to lower rates, has maintained his "modestly restrictive" policy has kept a good balance between a strong labor market (4.1% unemployment) and controlled inflation (if not yet reaching the +2.0% goal Powell has set). He said, in his presser after the FOMC release, that core Personal Consumption Expenditures were little changed from the start of the year, but that tariffs were beginning to push up inflation metrics. "Tariffs are starting to show up in consumption prices," Powell said. This could more clearly viewed from the latest CPI Inflation Rate, which jumped to +2.7% in its latest print. The Fed Chair reiterated several times that the one-and-done nature of tariff levying on trade partners won't lead to outsized inflation "because we'll make sure those tariffs don't result in it." This is a bearish signal for those investors looking for signs Powell is ready to cut. We saw market indexes fall off a table on this news. There was nothing exactly surprising in Powell's statements, but that they came so easily, so matter-of-factly to him, that likely gave market participants reason to reverse course. But Powell did say, later on in the press briefing, that the Fed's "next steps will likely be in (the) direction (of rate cuts)." Cavalcade of Afternoon Earnings Results Microsoft shares were up a strong +8% in late trading following the company's robust fiscal Q4 earnings report after the closing bell. Earnings of $3.65 per share beat the Zacks consensus by 30 cents, +24% year over year. Revenues of $76.4 billion were nicely above the $73.7 billion expected, +18% growth year over year. Its cloud business, Azure, was the big story: up +39% in the quarter to $75 billion. Meta Platforms posted even stronger overall results Wednesday afternoon, slamming earnings projections: $7.14 per share versus $5.83 anticipated. Revenues were also strongly beyond expectations at $47.52 billion in the quarter, up from the $44.84 billion estimate. Daily Active People (DAP) across all its social media services rose +6% to 3.48 billion in Q2. Revenue guidance for next quarter is well higher than the previous projection. Shares are up over +9% on the news. Ford Motor Co. make it a trifecta in beating earnings and sales after yesterday's close, with Q2 earning per share at 37 cents, 3 cents higher than the Zacks estimate. Revenues crossed over $50 billion from an expected $47.7 billion. Yet shares are down as the company reported the direct tariff exposure has already cost the company $800 million in Q2. Qualcomm also beat expectations on its bottom line Wednesday afternoon, by 7 cents to $2.77 per share in its fiscal Q3. Revenues of $10.37 billion — the lion's share coming from iPhone chips, worth $6.33 billion on their own — was a slight miss from the $10.38 billion analysts were expecting. Shares dropped -4.6% on the news. Questions or comments about this article and/or author? Click here>> Why Haven't You Looked at Zacks' Top Stocks?

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Arista Networks, Microsoft and Alphabet
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – July 31, 2025– Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Arista Networks ANET, Microsoft MSFT and Alphabet GOOGL. Will Arista Networks Keep Soaring as Q2 Earnings Approach? Arista Networks has joined a wave of tech stocks that are receiving upgrades from analysts thanks to its AI-driven data center innovation and robust revenue growth. Considering such, there is much enthusiasm building ahead of Arista Networks' Q2 report next Tuesday, August 5. To that point, Arista Networks' stock has rebounded more than +30% in the last three months and is now less than 10% from its all-time peak of $133 a share (stock-split adjusted basis), which it hit in January. Arista Networks Q2 Expectations As a brief preview, Arista Networks' Q2 sales are thought to have spiked 25% to $2.11 billion from $1.69 billion a year ago. Even better, Q2 earnings are also expected to be up 25% to $0.65 per share compared to EPS of $0.52 in the prior period. Adding to the enthusiasm for Arista Networks' Q2 report is that the cloud networking solutions leader has topped sales estimates for 22 consecutive quarters and has reached or exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus in every quarter since 2014. Over the last four quarters, Arista Networks has posted an average sales and earnings surprise of 2.61% and 11.82% respectively. Arista Networks' Robust Revenue Growth Piggybacking on analysts upgrading Arista Networks' stock due to its robust revenue growth, the company's top line is now expected to expand 19% this year and is projected to stretch another 17% in fiscal 2026 to $9.76 billion. Since the pandemic, Arista Networks' top line has expanded more than 200% with 2020 sales at $2.31 billion. The remarkable post-pandemic surge has been fueled by major cloud players like Microsoft and Alphabet, which rely heavily on Arista Networks' tailor-made AI data center networking platforms. EPS Outlook & Revisions Taking advantage of its sales growth, Arista Networks' bottom line is currently slated to expand 13% in FY25 with FY26 earnings forecasted to pop another 15% to $2.97 per share. Reassuringly, FY25 and FY26 EPS estimates have continued to trend higher over the last 90 days, moving slightly higher in the last month. Bottom Line Attributed to the trend of positive earnings estimate revisions, Arista Networks' stock lands a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and could certainly be in store for more upside as its Q2 results approach next week. As a reminder that Arista Networks' stock previously traded over $400 a share prior to its 4-1 stock split last year, now appears to be an ideal time to buy ANET before it gets more expensive.
