NVIDIA is benefiting from the strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance accelerated computing. The growing demand for generative AI and large language models using graphics processing units (GPUs) based on NVIDIA’s Hopper and Blackwell architectures is aiding data center revenues.However, a limited supply of Blackwell GPUs may hinder its ability to meet demand. Rising costs associated with the production of more complex AI systems will hurt margins.(You can read the full research report on NVIDIA here >>>)Shares of Berkshire Hathaway have outperformed the Zacks Insurance - Property and Casualty industry over the past year (+8.2% vs. +6.8%).

BayFirst’s investment case is anchored by scalable profitability, regional strength, and tech-driven efficiency. Despite a Q1 2025 net loss due to seasonality, NIM expanded to 3.77% and loans grew $18 million QoQ.However, elevated charge-offs (13.6% annualized) and sustained provisioning ($4.4 million) raise credit risk concerns, especially in C&I loans. Capital ratios have declined (CET1 10.47%), constraining flexibility. Non-interest income dropped 38.7% YoY, exposing reliance on loan sales.(You can read the full research report on BayFirst Financial here >>>)Why Haven't You Looked at Zacks' Top Stocks?Since 2000, our top stock-picking strategies have blown away the S&P's +7.7% average gain per year.
