Salesforce (CRM) Stock Reprices AI Momentum And A Rare Valuation Gap

Salesforce stock ripped higher, jumping 22.6% to about US$252 by the close, as investors rushed to reprice what looked like a straightforward software quarter into something bigger.

Synaptics (SYNA) Stock Looks Fully Priced on Current Cash Flow

Over the past 3 years, Valley National Bancorp has returned about 74.7%, which puts more focus on...

Photronics (PLAB) Stock Stalls As Margin Strength Meets Softer EPS

Photronics stock barely moved today, inching up just 0.03% after its Q3 report, which suggests sentiment is cautious rather than euphoric. That calm surface hides a more interesting story. Revenue landed at US$216.0m with integrated circuit and flat panel display photomasks both contributing, while gross margin was 33% and operating margin was 21%. A key factor for investor reaction is earnings per share at US$0.49, softer than earlier in the fiscal year yet still supported by a solid...

TransUnion (TRU) Stock May Offer A Bargain Following Credit Score Overhaul

The planned overhaul of TransUnion’s consumer credit rating...
