StockStory Backs Zoetis (ZTS), Nextpower (NXT) as Cash Producers, Warns on Covenant Logistics (CVLG)

StockStory on June 5, 2026, identified animal-health company Zoetis (NYSE:ZTS) and solar tracker maker Nextpower (NASDAQ:NXT) as cash-generating stocks poised for long-term gains, while advising investors to avoid trucking firm Covenant Logistics (NASDAQ:CVLG) due to weak free cash flow and headwinds. Zoetis reported a trailing 12-month free cash flow margin of 23.8% and trades at 11.1 times forward earnings. Nextpower, with a 14.4% cash flow margin, fetched a valuation of 32.4 times forward price-to-earnings. In contrast, Covenant Logistics carried a thin 4.4% cash flow margin and a 0.9 times forward price-to-sales multiple, leading the research firm to flag it as a cash producer that fails to reinvest wisely. The analysis emphasized that robust cash generation alone does not guarantee success; companies must deploy capital effectively. The report accompanied promotional material for StockStory’s top growth stock picks, which have previously flagged high-return names like Nvidia.
