- MMSIMerit Medical Systems, Inc.
Merit Medical Systems (MMSI) is seeing increased investor attention following its announcement on September 2, 2026, that Sheri Lewis will become Executive Vice President of Global Operations, with the previous leader transitioning to a Senior Advisor role. This leadership change, coupled with the company's scheduled participation in several investor conferences throughout September, including the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference, is generating positive sentiment. Analysts generally rate MMSI as a "Moderate Buy" with recent quarterly results exceeding expectations, further supporting the positive outlook.
Grading: settles five trading days after publication.
- AVGOBroadcom Inc.
Broadcom (AVGO) is seeing mixed analyst sentiment following its strong Q3 2026 earnings report on September 2nd, where it beat revenue and EPS estimates, driven by robust AI semiconductor demand. Despite raising its AI revenue guidance for fiscal years 2027 and 2028, some analysts, like Truist Financial and DA Davidson, lowered their price targets due to Q4 revenue guidance slightly missing elevated expectations and concerns about gross margin dilution from the AI product mix. This has led to the stock trading below some analyst targets and near support levels, even as other firms like Cantor Fitzgerald raised their price targets significantly, citing the company's strong AI growth outlook.
Grading: settles five trading days after publication.
- AVAVAeroVironment, Inc.
AeroVironment (AVAV) is seeing increased attention after securing a landmark $464.8 million U.S. Army contract on September 2nd for its LOCUST X3 laser weapon systems, marking the first production contract for high-energy laser weapon systems in U.S. history. This significant award, along with a newly announced international order for LOCUST, is expected to drive future revenue growth and has analysts anticipating a potential guidance raise when the company reports Q1 2027 earnings on September 9th. However, a recent investigation by Berger Montague PC into potential breaches of fiduciary duties related to competition for a U.S. Space Force program adds a layer of uncertainty.
