Thapana Onphalai/iStock via Getty Images Zeta Global Holdings Corp. ( ZETA ) is a $3.62-billion market cap firm that is known for its omnichannel data-driven cloud platform that helps different enterprises attract and retain consumers with better efficiency versus traditional methods (based on Seeking Alpha description). The fundamentals have been improving for the past few years - the top line has grown at a 6-year CAGR of over 27%, per Seeking Alpha , and since FY2029, the EBITDA has managed to grow from $24.1 million to $80.3 million as of FY2025. The stock went up from its 2021 IPO price of $9.10 to over $37 apiece by mid-November 2024, but since then, the price action has cooled off, and now ZETA is a $16 stock. TrendSpider Software, ZETA weekly, notes added Since ZETA has been developing a tool to connect legacy CRM software and DSP (demand-side advertising platforms) into a single product, the latest news around Anthropic's Claude and its SaaS-disruptive role in the tech niche seems to have pressed ZETA quite heavily on a YTD basis. Their AI-native monetization model seems to be stable as it is usage-based, and the customer count doesn't fall, so the risks are likely overblown. Still, the firm's growth is about to slow down anyway, and that's why I view ZETA more as a "Hold" rather than a "Buy", even despite the recent valuation reset we've seen. "Hold" Is A Fair Rating For ZETA Zeta reported Q4 figures in late February, showing $395 million in revenues (+25% YoY) and $0.37 in adjusted EPS (+48% YoY), beating the consensus estimates by 4% and 58%, respectively. Cash flow from operations went up by 47% YoY, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 174 bps YoY to 24.1%, which was a huge achievement for ZETA - its durable growth at scale kept going as expected. ZETA's IR materials The management adjusted its FY2028 target for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF to the upside, now targeting 23%, 31%, and 42% CAGRs for these metrics between 2024-2028, respectively.

J. Michael Jones/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Ingles Markets ( IMKTA ) holder Summer Road filed a proxy seeking support to elect its CIO, Rory Held, to Ingles’ board. "It is time for us to act to ensure we have at least one qualified independent director representing ou r interests as Class A shareholders," Summer Road said in a letter to shareholders on Wednesday. "This is why we have nominated Rory A. Held, who is truly independent and aligned with all Class A shareholders." Summer Road has a ~3% stake in Class A common stock of Ingles Market ( IMKTA ). Separately, Ingles Markets ( IMKTA ) said it filed a definitive proxy statement and nominated Dwight Jacobs and Rebekah Lowe to the board. "Based on Rory Held’s communications to Ingles, we do not believe Summer Road is interested in long-term value creation," Ingles Market said in the statement. "In our view, their narrow and short-sighted financial playbook is not the best way to deliver significant, enduring value for Ingles or our stakeholders, including our shareholders, associates, customers and communities." The annual meeting is scheduled for April 30.

Mohamad Faizal Bin Ramli The management team at Versigent Limited ( VGNT ) rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange to mark the company's public debut after spinning off from Aptiv ( APTV ) Versigent ( VGNT ) begins its era of being a standalone company with approximately $8.8B of revenue, $528M of net income, and $893M of adjusted EBITDA recorded in 2025, supported by what the Switzerland-based electrical distribution systems specialist calls its industry-leading design and engineering capabilities, advanced manufacturing expertise, and a broad global production footprint. "As demand grows for greater capability with less complexity, our unmatched combination of engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing excellence, and global scale gives us a distinct advantage. Versigent is purpose-built to amplify our customers’ urgent needs to power smarter, faster, and safer features without compromise," updated CEO Joseph Liotine. RBC Capital Markets began coverage on Versigent ( VGNT ) with a Sector Perform rating and price target of $28. "First-class engineering capabilities and design optimization position VGNT as a top three global player in automotive wire harnessing. That said, the company is underexposed to Chinese OEMs, and we could see some selling pressure post-spin. Despite margin uplift potential from entering markets outside automotive, we view this as a long-term opportunity," wrote analyst Tom Narayan. Shares of Versigent ( VGNT ) fell 9% in Wednesday morning trading to $28.99 as investors sized up the new auto supplier stock. The market cap on VGNT is about $2.26B. Versigent ( VGNT ) will announce first quarter business results on May 5. More on Versigent Limited Financial information for Versigent Limited

Wachiwit/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Although Netflix ( NFLX ) stock is up about 25% from the February lows, shares are still nearly 30% below all-time highs. This once perfectly clean story has become much noisier in the past six months, in light of a failed Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) takeover attempt and amid increasing concerns about engagement . After all of that, I find that, in reality, nothing has changed. Which means Netflix is a 20%+ EPS growth story for years to come, it's trading at a significant discount, and there are several positive catalysts in the near term. Bottom line, I'm upgrading Netflix to a "Strong Buy." The Bear Thesis Netflix's stock is still in a ~30% drawdown from its June 2025 highs. While many stocks in the market are in deep drawdowns, a broad market selloff is a tiny part of the story. Data by YCharts There are two key issues that the bears are leaning on, the primary one being engagement. They argue that Netflix's attempt at acquiring Warner Bros. is a sign of weakness that shows management is desperate to find new growth drivers. They then lean on data, which we'll get to in a second, to support their claim that engagement isn't growing, as social media and competitors take a larger piece of the time & attention pie. The second, smaller concern, is saturation. At 325 million global subscribers, Netflix is pushing the ceiling as one of the world's largest paid subscription services based on subscriber count. Though impressive, they would say the future growth runway is limited. Engagement Concerns Lack Important Nuance The truth is, if you take a shallow look at engagement metrics, it's difficult to counter the bearish claims. From January 2023 to January 2026, Netflix "only" gained 1.3% share of viewing based on Nielsen data, while streaming gained over 9 points.
