Zacks just released their latest analyst reports, highlighting Microsoft, Amazon, Philip Morris International, Preformed Line Products, and Security Federal Corp. MSFT is up 21% YTD, driven by AI and Azure, but faces heavy expenses from competition and investment. AMZN is up nearly 37% over the past year, with AWS and Prime driving top-line growth, but guidance warns of margin pressure from massive AI spending. Philip Morris continues a strong shift to smoke-free products, but faces regulation and currency risks. On the microcap side, Preformed Line Products saw a 70% stock jump, benefiting from energy and broadband demand, while Security Federal's solid balance sheet underpins modest gains. Zacks notes ongoing risks like rising expenses, regulatory costs, and market volatility across the board.
