The Nikkei 225 Index slumped by over 5% today, July 17, as the rout in Asian technology companies accelerated. It has now moved into a technical correction after falling by 12% from its highest point this year.
LBRT, ATEYY and GDOT made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) momentum stocks list on June 23rd, 2026.
I initiate Advantest with a 'buy' rating, considering its robust growth prospects across different time horizons. Strong industry data from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan supports the consensus's projection of 28% revenue and 34% EPS growth for ATEYY in Q1 FY26. The company's long-term upside is driven by production capacity expansion, silicon photonics penetration, and proprietary heat management solutions.
