In recent trading, shares of PHINIA Inc (Symbol: PHIN) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $48.80, changing hands for $48.95/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised. There are 5 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for PHINIA Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $45.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $55.00. The standard deviation is $4.438. But the whole reason to look at the average PHIN price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with PHIN crossing above that average target price of $48.80/share, investors in PHIN have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $48.80 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?

Key Points IonQ has struggled recently, although may draw investors with its lower valuation. D-Wave Quantum made gains of nearly 400% over the last year. 10 stocks we like better than IonQ › Both IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) and D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) are artificial intelligence (AI) stocks trying to stand out in the quantum computing field. Despite their relatively smaller sizes, both companies have made commercially related breakthroughs in quantum computing, making it worthwhile to compare the two companies. Investors should also keep in mind that they seek to carve a niche in their fields from quantum computing giants such as Google parent Alphabet or IBM. As they work to stand out in their potentially lucrative but competitive industries, one may stand out as a more suitable holding for most investors. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » The case for IonQ IonQ calls itself the "world's leading quantum computing company" and appears to back up that claim with breakthroughs such as electronic qubit control systems. IonQ achieved record-breaking "two-qubit gate fidelity," helping it run quantum algorithms with higher complexity while limiting error rates. High error rates have plagued this industry, so such improvements can translate into a competitive advantage. Moreover, quantum computing has begun as more of a research tool. However, IonQ's hardware has become more prevalent in working to solve problems for companies. To that end, companies ranging from Microsoft to AstraZeneca work with IonQ. Financially speaking, IonQ continues to run net losses, though that is not unique to other smaller AI-related companies. Not surprisingly, it also reported a negative free cash flow of $216 million in the first nine months of 2025. To that end, it diluted its shares recently, taking the number of shares higher by 59% over the last year. That likely led to both increases and decli...

International stocks have lagged the S&P 500 for years, but that's starting to change. Here's one Vanguard ETF that you should target to profit from this shift. For the past few years (and probably longer than that), investors have focused on one theme for their portfolios: large-cap tech. As interest rates fell, trillions of dollars of liquidity flooded the market, and the artificial intelligence (AI) trade took root, many people have made tech the cornerstone of their portfolios. Last year marked a shift. For the first time since 2020, emerging markets outperformed the S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%) on a total return basis. The U.S. market still performed well, but it was an indication that investors began looking to international and value stocks for returns. That trend has continued in 2026. International stocks are still outperforming, and a broader market rotation seems to be taking place. This is important because historically, when the market shifts from U.S. leadership to international leadership, it's a trend change that can last for years. U.S./international stock outperformance tends to run in multiyear cycles Although there is certainly some variance in which of these two groups outperforms in any given year, a study by the Hartford Funds finds that there are very lengthy periods of leadership by one group or the other when looking at trailing-five-year returns. The average cycle length going back to 1975 is just over eight years, but leadership has been very one-sided since the end of the financial crisis. Time Period Leader Approx. Length in Years 1975-1982 International 7 years 1982-1986 U.S. 4 years 1986-1991 International 5 years 1991-2002 U.S. 11 years 2002-2010 International 8 years 2010-present U.S. 15 years Looking at trailing-five-year returns, the U.S. has been outperforming international stocks for the past 15 years. Even after last year's win for developed ex-U.S. and emerging markets stocks, the S&P 500 still holds the lead, but it's definitely beg...

For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – February 2, 2026 – Zacks.com releases the list of companies likely to issue earnings surprises. This week’s list includes Meta Platforms META, Microsoft MSFT, Tesla TSLA, Amazon AMZN and Alphabet GOOGL. How Are Mag 7 Earnings Shaping Up? The market loved Meta Platforms' quarterly results but wasn't impressed with Microsoft's and Tesla's December-quarter numbers. The market's disappointment with the Microsoft report notwithstanding, the company delivered +28.1% earnings growth on +16.7% top-line gains for the period, also handily beating estimates. The sticking point for investors was Azure and other cloud services revenue growth of +38% (in constant currency terms) and underwhelming guidance for the current period. Worries about decelerating Azure growth have been weighing on Microsoft's shares, as has the company's relationship with OpenAI. Azure revenues were up +39% each in constant currency terms in each of the preceding two quarters, and the mid-point of guidance for the March quarter represents a +37.5% growth pace. Management has flagged capacity constraints as the primary reason for the growth deceleration, but market participants do not seem fully on board with that explanation. Meta's Q4 growth numbers are a lot less impressive, with earnings and revenues up +9.3% and +23.8%, respectively, flagging the social-media bellwether's margin pressures. But what impressed investors is the company's ability to use AI more effectively in its advertising business. The notable AI-centric improvement in the business was the +3.5% increase in click rates on its ads, resulting in a +1% increase in conversion rates. As with Microsoft, Meta claims to be capacity-constrained and unable to execute on all the ideas it has to streamline their ad business with the help of AI. It is this argument that allowed the company to get away with a further increase to its capex budget. They are currently targeting to spend $135 billion in capex this ye...

bgwalker/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images TJ Maxx signed its first New York City lease in a decade. The TJX Companies ( TJX ) chain inked a deal for a 40,000-square-foot space at Herald Towers in Manhattan, close to Madison Square Garden. The development is notable because it will mark the chain’s first new New York City location in more than a decade. It is also one of the largest new retail leases signed in Manhattan over the past two years. Notably, the large TJ Maxx store will be located directly across the street from Macy's ( M ) flagship store at Herald Square. TJX Companies ( TJX ) management has talked about the potential for more than 1,800 additional TJ Maxx stores globally. A growth strategy that is centered on consumers making the effort to trade down to the branded products offered by TJ Maxx. The NYC lease signing is also an indication that the company is still looking at New York City and other large cities as store growth targets. Shares of TJX Companies ( TJX ) are down 2.5% on a year-to-date basis. TJX Companies ( TJX ) is expected to post its fourth-quarter earnings report during the last week of February.

House lawmakers are returning to Washington today to pass a funding deal that Trump worked out with Democrats last week.
