Toyota’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Automotive – Foreign industry over the past two years (+19.2% vs. +0.6%). The Zacks analyst believes that Toyota is taking strategic steps, including restoring production, optimizing inventory to manage incentives and reducing complexity to streamline operations and improve efficiency. It is also ramping up investment in electrification with solid-state batteries and an expanding lineup.

However, high R&D expenses on advanced technologies and alternative fuels for the development of electric and autonomous vehicles are causing some pain in the near term.

RTX’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry over the past year (+46.6% vs. -3.9%). The Zacks analyst believes that the company continues to receive ample orders for its wide range of combat-proven defense products from the Pentagon and its foreign allies. Improving commercial air traffic has also been bolstering the company.

Yet, rising crude prices tend to put cost pressure on airlines that may impact commercial OEM producers like RTX. The company may also be affected if China enforces its announced sanctions against its missile and defense unit. Supply-chain challenges also pose a threat.

Shares o fMicron have underperformed the Zacks Computer – Integrated Systems industry over the last six months (-23.6% vs. -0.3%). Per the Zacks analyst, the U.S./China trade war poses a major threat to the company. Also, Micron’s near-term prospects look gloomy as weakening consumer spending is negatively impacting demand for memory chips used in personal computers and smartphones.

However, improved market conditions, strong sales executions, robust growth across multiple business units, positive impact of inventory improvement in the data center and stabilization in other end-markets have benefited the company.
