Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Apple Inc. (AAPL), Meta Platforms, Inc.

The stock's recent underperformance notwithstanding, t</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">he Zacks analyst remains optimistic about Apple's long-term outlook on the back of strong growth in Services revenues, an expanding content portfolio of Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade and introduction of Apple Intelligence have helped and are going to help the company grow.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">However, weakness in iPhone sales particularly in China is a major headwind.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">(You can <a href="https://www.zacks.com/zer/report/AAPL">read the full research report on Apple here >>>)</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Meta</strong> shares have outperformed the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/internet-software-214">Internet - Software</a> industry over the past year (+68.8% vs. +45.3%), reflecting steady user growth globally. Increased engagement for its platforms has been a major growth driver. META has been leveraging AI to improve the potency of its platform offerings.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">Yet, monetization of these AI services will take considerable time, which is a concern.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">(You can <a href="https://www.zacks.com/zer/report/META">read the full research report on Meta here >>>)</a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">Shares of<strong> Procter & Gamble</strong> have outperformed the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/soap-and-cleaning-materials-174">Soap and Cleaning Materials</a> industry over the last six months (+7.3% vs. +6.9%).

Per the Zacks analyst, the company faced revenue decline, margin contraction and pressure from lower electricity sales, with RCEs and meter counts decreasing.

Volatility in solar projects and fluctuating energy prices add uncertainty.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;">Yet, Genie Energy is benefited by its diversified revenue streams.

This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.10% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through October 7, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.</p> <p>Visit <a class="in_copy" href="/performance_disclosure">Performance Disclosure</a> for information about the performance numbers displayed above.</p> <p>Visit <a class="in_copy newwin" href="http://www.zacksdata.com">www.zacksdata.com</a> to get our data and content for your mobile app or website.</p> <p>Real time prices by BATS.
