Here are Wednesday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:
JPMorgan upgraded the Singapore tech conglomerate following earnings.
“SE’s strong 1Q25 results allay our concerns on macro headwinds and underscore
the strength of SE’s ecosystem in delivering growth and margin improvement.”
Evercore said the nuclear energy company is a “must own.”
“Centrus Energy is a provider of nuclear fuel components and services, pioneering the domestic production of High Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) a necessary fuel component used to power next generation nuclear reactors supporting more dispatchable, efficient, and safer global nuclear deployment.”
Loop said it still sees too much tariff uncertainty for Wayfair.
“The stock rallied 20% Monday after China tariffs were cut from 145% to 30%, effective today for a 90-day period. Our downgrade is driven by uncertainty related to tariffs.”
Bank of America said the China eVTOL company is best positioned.
“We have Buy rating on Ehang as we favor its leading market position in the China eVTOL aircraft market, underpinned by the strong technology.”
Citi said it’s sticking with Nvidia following the company’s announcement to send chips to Saudi Arabia.
“We see NVDA’s deal with Saudi company HUMAIN as a good start to what will likely be a new country-to-country negotiation approach by the US government. That said, we remain prudent on the duplication of such success with other countries, thus the risk of tighter access to US AI chips for other key countries remains.”
Jefferies said it sees margin expansion for the owner of brands like Tommy Hilfiger.
“PVH has made meaningful progress in transitioning to a more focused, efficient, and strategic company. With a compelling roadmap and high-caliber management in place, it should see improved LT results.”
JPMorgan said it’s standing by the stock following a series of bullish meetings with management.
“Microsoft shares that it saw demand in FQ3 that was ‘strong across the board’, including all geographies and customer segments (spanning large to scale customers).”
Jefferies said it see uncertain demand for Rivian.
“Rivian still needs to demonstrate sustainable positive gross margin and a more capital-efficient business model.”
RBC called the coffee chain a “unique brand and model.”
“We initiate coverage of BROS at Outperform with an $83 PT.”
Citi said it likes the biotech company’s pipeline.
“We are upgrading Regeneron to Buy from Neutral (TP to $700 from $600) given strong pipeline optionality (melanoma, COPD) and a more attractive risk/reward profile.”
Bank of America downgraded UnitedHealth over concerns about Medicare Advantage uncertainty.
“We downgrade to Neutral from Buy as we await clarity on bid strategy and potential multi-year return to normalized MA margins, while valuation is compressed.”
Citi said it’s sticking with the shoe company ahead of earnings on May 22.
“The uncertainty around how they will guide makes the near-term risk/reward balanced going into 4Q EPS, but longer-term, we view DECK’s risk/reward as favorable.”
Morgan Stanley raised its price target on the stock to $290 per share from $280.
“A record quarter, strong LT guide, and broader market rebound have driven CVNA stock price near $300.”
The Wall Street firm raised its price target on both stocks.
“We reiterate Buy, raise NVDA PO to $160 from $150 and AMD PO to $130 from $120 on upside to long-term AI opportunity.”
Guggenheim said the emphasis on unit growth needs to be “reassessed.”
“We are downgrading WEN stock to Neutral and removing our price target. Wendy’s has been one of the better brands for franchisees to invest in over the past 20 years but in our opinion, the company needs a strategic rethink on the priorities of unit growth vs franchisee profitability.”
Morgan Stanley named the stock a “catalyst driven idea” heading into earnings on May 15.
“We think Alibaba will benefit from the robust China AI inference demand, being the AI enabler (cloud) and adopter. We believe upcoming cloud revenue growth will be the next share price catalyst.”
The firm said in a lookahead analysis of Apple’s iPhone product pipeline that there is much work to be done for the tech giant.
“As Loop’s AAPL coverage has been highlighting for the past 12-18 months the ongoing AI struggles, move to the internal modem, integrating internally designed chips at higher velocity, and navigating a stagnant iPhone device strategy, there is no shortage of challenges to discuss as AAPL seeks to get its mojo back.”
