Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we provide you with the latest and most valuable insights on investing. Today, we will cover some of the top analyst calls and Wall Street chatter to help you make informed decisions for your portfolio.
Let’s start with Bernstein’s recent move to cut Airbnb’s price target. While the firm remains bullish on the stock, it did reduce the price target to $155 from $174. Analyst Richard Clarke pointed out that tough comps and growth initiatives are factors affecting third-quarter earnings. However, he sees this as a short-term entry point for investors, with estimates and valuation de-risked.
Next, Bank of America upgraded Carvana to a buy rating, citing the potential for sustained long-term growth in the used car market. The firm believes Carvana is well-positioned for growth as the market normalizes and supply is replenished. Their price target of $185 implies more than 20% upside.
On the flip side, Jefferies downgraded SolarEdge to underperform due to rising competition and high inventory levels. The analyst sees more downside for the stock as estimates are revised lower. Meanwhile, Jefferies upgraded BioNTech to buy on increased conviction in their therapy for small cell lung cancer.
In the tech sector, Mizuho initiated coverage on Dell with an outperform rating, noting the potential benefits of generative artificial intelligence. The analyst sees strong demand for AI servers, positioning Dell for growth in the coming years.
Lastly, Redburn Atlantic upgraded Shopify to buy, citing the explosive growth in social e-commerce. The firm believes Shopify’s innovation and platform capabilities make it well-positioned to capitalize on this structural growth in the industry.
