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: Heico HEI, Dell Technologies DELL and ENGIE Sponsored ADR ENGIY. Here are highlights from Thursday's Analyst Blog: Tariff Effects Have Landed: Zacks July Market Strategy The following is an excerpt from Zacks Chief Strategist John Blank's full Jul Market Strategy report To access the full PDF, click here. Think there are no signs of tariffs inside the current U.S. macro system? Think again! I. Introduction Each month, I highlight a section found within the latest Zacks Market Strategy report. In the month of JULY? I highlight the Institute of Supply Management's (ISM) manufacturing purchasing manager indices (PMI). Striking tariff dynamics caught my attention! Note: 50 is the rubicon between expansion and contraction. (1) The ISM Prices sub-index at 69.7 is consistent with higher tariffs. (2) These five ISM sub-indices are also consistent with a higher tariff regime: · New Orders at 46.4 · Backlog of Orders at 44.3 · New Export Orders at 46.3 · Imports at 47.4, and · Employment at 45.0 Most are contracting for the last 4 to 5 months. That too is consistent with policy actions. (3) Finally, every single ISM respondent mentioned tariffs in their response. Carefully read what is written, by the various purchasing managers. II. WHAT ISM RESPONDENTS ARE SAYING 'Business has notably slowed in last four to six weeks. Customers do not want to make commitments in the wake of massive tariff uncertainty.' [Fabricated Metal Products] 'Middle East unrest as well as unstable long-term tariff positions continue to impact second- and third-tier sources, which is applying pressure to material costs. Costs are up 6 percent to 10 percent over budgeted inflation — and the forecast accounted for the volatility expected with the current administration.' [Wood Products] 'The biopharmaceutical space is starting to see more pronounced headwinds: Stock prices have significantly eroded, companies are facing hiring freezes, and so on.' [Chemical Products] 'The tariff mess has utterly stopped sales globally and domestically. Everyone is on pause. Orders have collapsed.' [Machinery] 'Tariff volatility has impacted machinery, steel and specialized components. Also, potential shortages of skilled labor for construction, maintenance and installation.' [Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products] 'Tariffs continue to cause confusion and uncertainty for long-term procurement decisions. The situation remains too volatile to firmly put such plans into place.' [Computer & Electronic Products] 'Tariffs continue to impact material pricing.' [Petroleum & Coal Products] 'Tariffs, chaos, sluggish economy, rising prices, Ukraine, Iran, geopolitical unrest around the world — all make for a landscape that is hellacious, and fatigue is setting in due to dealing with these issues across the spectrum. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning unless something drastically changes, but the supply chain implications will grow — depots will not be stocked, less material will be available, and it will take years for domestic production to handle the needs (if companies even want to).' [Primary Metals] 'The geopolitical environment remains volatile: (1) ongoing shifts in U.S. tariff policy make it difficult to plan, (2) emerging conflicts in the Middle East could pose long-term commodity risks and (3) China measures on rare earth materials are causing challenges. Overall outlook for our company is positive; it's just extremely hard to make near-term supply plans/strategies or budgets.' [Miscellaneous Manufacturing] 'The word that best describes the current market outlook is 'uncertainty.' The erratic trade policy with on-again/off-again tariffs has led to price uncertainty for customers, who appear to be prepared to hold off large capital purchases until stability returns. This has resulted in further reductions in customer demand and softening sales for the balance of 2025. Operations has planned additional weeks of downtime at multiple plants to accommodate reduced orders. Next year's forecast is not any better at this point. Additionally, most electric vehicle (EV) projects have been delayed or canceled, resulting in a significant amount of unutilized capital investment. EV technology launches for 2026-28 have been delayed past 2030.' [Transportation Equipment] Now, let's study the latest Zacks Industry Ranks. These mid-summer rankings turned out to be surprisingly strong. III. Zacks JULY 2025 Sector/Industry/Company Telescope June 30th, 2025 data showed a positive pre-Q2 earnings Zacks Industry Ranking.

2 Top-Ranked Stocks Suited for Momentum Investors
When stocks are cruising near all-time or 52-week highs, it reflects considerable bullishness with trends where buyers are in control. Stocks making new highs tend to make even higher highs, particularly when analysts' positive earnings estimate revisions are present. That's been precisely the case for Credo Techology Group CRDO and Heico HEI, both of which presently sport a favorable Zacks Rank and are trading near 52-week highs with notable momentum. Let's take a closer look at what's been driving the bullish behavior. Credo Benefits from AI Surge Credo Technology, a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) provides innovative, secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved power efficiency as data rates and corresponding bandwidth requirements increase exponentially throughout the data infrastructure market. The company's EPS outlook remains bullish across the board. Credo's latest set of strong quarterly results was fueled by continued strong demand for its services, with the stock a big beneficiary of the AI frenzy. The increased AI spend is set to continue for years, positioning the company nicely to continue reaping the benefits. CRDO crushed our consensus expectations in the above-mentioned release, with sales up a rock-solid 180% year-over-year. Below is a chart illustrating the company's sales on a quarterly basis, with the acceleration visibly seen over the past few periods. HEICO Breaks Records HEICO, a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), is a growing technology-driven aerospace, industrial, defense and electronics company. Its products are found on large commercial aircraft, regional, business and military aircraft, and more. The company's bullish EPS outlook is illustrated below. Like CRDO above, HEICO is coming off a notably strong quarterly release, posting record Q2 sales and net income. Both items crushed our consensus expectations, with sales growing 15% alongside a 27% boost in net income. Strength was broad across both the company's segments (Flight Support and Electrical Technologies), enjoying sales bumps of 19% and 7%, respectively. Its consolidated operating margin also saw nice expansion, coming in at 22.6% vs. 21.9% in the same period last year. Bottom Line Stocks making new highs tend to make even higher highs, particularly when positive earnings estimate revisions hit the tape. That's precisely what both stocks above – Credo Techology Group CRDO and Heico HEI – have enjoyed, with each sporting a favorable Zacks Rank and seeing their shares trade near 52-week highs. Zacks Names #1 Semiconductor Stock It's only 1/9,000th the size of NVIDIA which skyrocketed more than +800% since we recommended it. NVIDIA is still strong, but our new top chip stock has much more room to boom. With strong earnings growth and an expanding customer base, it's positioned to feed the rampant demand for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things. Global semiconductor manufacturing is projected to explode from $452 billion in 2021 to $803 billion by 2028. See This Stock Now for Free >> Heico Corporation (HEI): Free Stock Analysis Report

L'Orignal braces for impact of hike to U.S. steel tariff
Workers and the community around a major eastern Ontario steel plant are nervously watching what the doubling of U.S. tariffs will mean for the area's economy. Ivaco Rolling Mills is a major employer in L'Orignal, Ont., a village about 90 kilometres northeast of Ottawa, that draws workers and creates spinoff business for the surrounding region. Ivaco's parent company, Heico, announced the layoffs of 140 workers in March, with about one-third of those cuts affecting the L'Orignal plant. A combination of reduced hours, furloughs, and permanent layoffs to absorb the blow of tariffs has followed, according to the union local. Eric Fournier, president of the plant's United Steelworkers union local, told CBC News on Wednesday when the tariffs were announced that there hadn't been word of any cancelled orders related to the tariff, but people are feeling the uncertainty. "We have daily phone calls or people that show up to my office asking questions [like], 'What's next? What's happening?'" he said. Workers from both sides of river Fournier estimates about 60 percent of the plant's output goes to the U.S. with the rest sold domestically. He said the company's sales teams have been working to find other buyers. "Hopefully we stay afloat for that time and the next administration will just open the gates," he said. "Mexico [and] Canada, we're not the enemy; we're the allies." If tariffs put more people out of work, the "next big job" would be around an hour's commute away, Fournier added. Christina Famili recently moved to L'Orginal with her husband and called the spike in tariffs "frightening." "If it was me, I would be very, very nervous, very upset. I don't know what they're going to do," Famili said outside the pharmacy next to the town's welcoming moose statue. Famili said the plant employs residents of the town plus people living in neighbouring communities such as Hawkesbury and Quebecers who come across the Ottawa River. While L'Orignal doesn't have a downtown strip, Highway 17 runs through the town and connects it to Ivaco and industrial and farm equipment businesses. King's Garage owner Guillaume Landriault said his business benefits from the transport trucks that drive to and from Ivaco and require repairs or inspection. He said he's also received some inquiries from Ivaco employees looking for work. "It's an important plant for sure for all the community," he said. He's confident he has other clients to keep his mechanics busy, but tariffs of 50 per cent raise serious questions. "It could affect people, the restaurants, car dealers, families. It's going to affect the country and all the areas around here." Fournier says the message he has received from the company is that they will keep calm in the face of new levies. "Tariffs were put on all sorts of goods and then they were removed again … We always try to look [ahead] a couple of days and see what really happens."

Heico Earnings: How To Trade It?
CHONGQING, CHINA - MAY 25: In this photo illustration, the logo of HEICO is displayed on a ... More smartphone screen, with the company's stylized branding visible in the background, on May 25, 2025, in Chongqing, China. (Photo illustration by) Heico (NYSE:HEI), an aerospace and electronics firm, is set to announce its earnings on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. For traders focused on events, analyzing historical stock behavior surrounding earnings can be crucial, although the actual results will greatly affect the outcome. There are two primary strategies to think about if you intend to utilize historical patterns: It's important to highlight that over the last five years, Heico has recorded negative one-day returns following earnings releases in 53% of cases. The median drop has been -3.1%, with a maximum one-day decline of -8.7%. Analysts predict that Heico will report earnings of $1.12 per share, accompanied by sales of $1.11 billion. This would reflect an increase compared to the same quarter last year, when the company reported earnings of $0.97 per share on sales of $992 million. Fundamentally, Heico holds a current market capitalization of $42 billion. Over the past twelve months, the company produced $4.0 billion in revenue and was operationally profitable, achieving $871 million in operating profits and a net income of $567 million. However, if you're looking for potential growth with lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns exceeding 91% since its inception. Additionally, consider – Buy, Sell, or Hold HIMS Stock? See earnings reaction history of all stocks Here are some insights on one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Further details regarding observed 5-Day (5D), and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings are summarized along with the statistics in the table below. HEI 1D, 5D, and 21D Post-Earnings Return A relatively lower-risk strategy (though not valuable if the correlation is weak) is to understand the relationship between short-term and medium-term returns post earnings, identify a pair that exhibits the highest correlation, and execute the relevant trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D demonstrate the strongest correlation, a trader could position themselves 'long' for the following 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. HEI Correlation Between 1D, 5D and 21D Historical Returns Occasionally, the performance of peers can affect the stock reaction following earnings. In fact, pricing may begin prior to the earnings being announced. Here is some historical data regarding the previous post-earnings performance of Heico stock compared to the stock performance of peers that released earnings just ahead of Heico. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns also represent post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.
