Zacks highlights analyst reports on Johnson & Johnson, Lam Research, Seagate, KVH Industries, and Dawson Geophysical

Zacks Equity Research featured new analyst reports on 16 major stocks, including Johnson & Johnson, Lam Research, Seagate Technology Holdings, and micro-cap companies KVH Industries and Dawson Geophysical. Johnson & Johnson beat Q2 estimates and sees higher second-half sales growth in both its Innovative Medicine and MedTech segments, though the Stelara patent cliff and Abiomed weakness remain headwinds. Lam Research posted record Q3 results and raised its calendar 2026 wafer fab equipment outlook, driven by AI-led demand for deposition and etch tools. Seagate raised its long-term outlook to at least 20% annual revenue growth, with Mozaic shipments reaching 75% of top cloud customers and full qualification expected this quarter. KVH Industries is transitioning to a recurring maritime connectivity platform with growing LEO adoption, while Dawson Geophysical is benefiting from stronger activity levels and an upgraded seismic equipment fleet.
