Here are Monday's biggest analyst calls: Nvidia, Tesla, Netflix, Amazon, Estee Lauder, AMD, DoorDash, Penn & more

CNBC23-06-2025
Here are Monday's biggest calls on Wall Street: JPMorgan reiterates Amazon as overweight JPMorgan said it's sticking with shares of the e-commerce giant. " Amazon remains our best idea and our December 2025 PT of $240 based on ~32.5x our 2026E FCF of $75B." Goldman Sachs initiates Tyson Foods and Hormel as buy Goldman said it sees "strong protein demand" for both companies. "We expect near-term supply reductions in turkey to support our Buy rating on HRL , along with its solid packaged food portfolio, including a recovery in its Planters nut business. We also believe the cyclical low in beef profitability is creating an attractive entry point for patient investors in Buy-rated TSN , while its diversified model underpins its long-term resiliency, with strength in chicken and prepared foods supporting upside in the near-term." Deutsche Bank upgrades Estee Lauder to buy from hold Deutsche said in its upgrade of the stock that beauty demand concerns are bottoming. "Increasing evidence that EL's strategy is (rightly, in our view) diversifying well beyond China (and related travel retail) for future growth, underpinned by moves to accelerate innovation (across brands and price tiers) and migrate decision-making geographically closer to where business gets done..." JPMorgan initiates Wynn Resorts as overweight JPMorgan said Wynn has underappreciated growth optionality overseas. " WYNN is well positioned to utilize dividends from Macau to return capital to shareholders." JPMorgan initiates Penn as overweight JPMorgan said the gaming company is a top idea. "PENN (PT $24): (1) Attractive catalyst path with $1b new projects opening in the next two years, potentially driving upside to estimates; (2) improving FCF profile/ balance sheet, with PENN targeting $325m of remaining buybacks in '25 (~14% of market cap)." Wells Fargo upgrades FMC Corporation to overweight from equal weight Wells said it sees an earnings recovery for the chemical manufacturer. "We upgrade FMC to OW as we are increasingly confident that 2024 will mark the near-term bottom for EPS given positive market trends and strategic actions. Our $50 PT (prior $41) reflects 10.0x 2026 EV/EBITDA, at the low end of its historical range. JPMorgan initiates Marriott as neutral JPMorgan initiated the hotel chain and says the stock's valuation is appropriate. "MAR is a solid, asset-light compounder that benefits from strong brands, a credible management team, and network effects." Rothschild & Company Redburn reiterates Nvidia as buy The firm said the company remains extremely well positioned ahead of its next earnings report on August 27. " Nvidia reports July quarter earnings on 27 August, which should confirm rising networking attach rates, a smooth transition to Blackwell Ultra B300s and sustained further improvement in AI model capability and therefore AI capex investment." Morgan Stanley upgrades Moelis & Co to overweight from underweight and Evercore ISI to overweight from equal weight The firm said it's bullish on several capital markets companies. "Evercore (EVR) upgraded to OW from EW; poised for large cap deals and Private Capital Advisory strength, with comp ratio leverage ahead. Moelis (MC) double upgraded to OW from UW; record deal pipeline with comp ratio leverage ahead." Melius upgrades Advanced Micro Devices to buy from hold Melius said it sees a slew of positive catalysts ahead for the stock. "We are upgrading shares of AMD given our view that many things have changed for the better since the beginning of the year." Read more here. Raymond James upgrades DoorDash to strong buy from outperform Raymond James said it likes the synergy possibilities with delivery company Deliveroo. "We upgrade DASH to Strong Buy following a bottom-up merger analysis and believe the synergy potential with Deliveroo (ROO) is underappreciated." Wedbush reiterates Tesla as outperform Wedbush said Tesla's robotaxi is "very impressive" after taking a test ride. "We took two approximately 15 minute rides around Austin and the key takeaways are that it was a comfortable, safe, and personalized experience. The ride itself was completely smooth, and it was indistinguishable that the car was driverless as there was never a moment in the vehicle where we felt as if it did something irrational." Read more. BMO downgrades Dow to underperform from market perform BMO said in its downgrades of Dow that it sees softer pricing for the chemicals company. "The significant weakness across its end-markets resulting in soft pricing and lower vols/op rates is likely to result in severely challenged 2Q EBITDA and 2H estimates coming solidly lower." Morgan Stanley reiterates Citi and Bank of America as overweight The firm raised its price target on Bank of America to $49 per share from $47 and on Citi to $94 per share from $90. "Announced M & A and Equity Capital Markets volumes are accelerating. We see momentum ahead driven by market conditions, regulatory clarity, pent up demand for both M & A and IPOs, and greater sponsor engagement." Argus reiterates Netflix as buy Argus raised its price target on the stock to $1,410 per share from $1,200. " Netflix's maintenance of its full-year guidance is one proof point of the company's resilience in an extraordinarily uncertain time for the macroeconomy." JPMorgan downgrades Howard Hughes to neutral from overweight JPMorgan said in its downgrade of the real estate investment stock that it's skeptical activist investor Bill Ackman can turn the company into a diversified holding company. "Notwithstanding the above, we are moving from an Overweight rating to Neutral on the shares. Pershing Square and Bill Ackman's intention is to use the cash infusion into the company to make investments outside real estate (perhaps into insurance) and turn HHH into a diversified holding company."

Revolve (RVLV) To Report Earnings Tomorrow: Here Is What To Expect

Online fashion retailer Revolve (NASDAQ:RVLV) will be reporting earnings this Tuesday after market close. Here's what to expect. Revolve met analysts' revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $296.7 million, up 9.7% year on year. It was a strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts' EBITDA estimates and a narrow beat of analysts' number of active customers estimates. It reported 2.7 million active buyers, up 6% year on year. Is Revolve a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Revolve's revenue to grow 5.4% year on year to $297.6 million, improving from the 3.2% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.13 per share. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Revolve has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates three times over the last two years. Looking at Revolve's peers in the consumer internet segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Carvana delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 41.9%, beating analysts' expectations by 5.7%, and Amazon reported revenues up 13.3%, topping estimates by 3.4%. Carvana traded up 17% following the results while Amazon was down 8.2%. Read our full analysis of Carvana's results here and Amazon's results here. Investors in the consumer internet segment have had steady hands going into earnings, with share prices flat over the last month. Revolve is up 1.6% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $23.21 (compared to the current share price of $20.69). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

Dow futures drop as recession alarm bells jolt Wall Street awake from dreams of a gravity-defying economy

U.S. stocks were poised for more losses as futures on Sunday evening signaled another selloff after investors digested jobs data that upended their notions of what previously looked like a more resilient economy. Some analysts on Wall Street are warning that the U.S. is now on the brink of recession. Markets were pointing toward another selloff Sunday evening after startling jobs data delivered a rude awakening to Wall Street bulls. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 47 points, or 0.11%. S&P 500 futures were down 0.17%, and Nasdaq futures slipped 0.23%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was flat at 4.216% after plunging Friday on greater expectations for Fed rate cuts. The U.S. dollar was steady against the euro and down 0.09% against the yen. Gold rose 0.44% to $3,414.10 per ounce. U.S. oil prices dropped 0.67% to $66.88 per barrel, and Brent crude fell 0.72% to $69.17, as OPEC+ announced another surge in production. After investors marveled at how resilient the economy appeared in the face of President Donald Trump's tariffs, it turns out conditions were actually much weaker, with job gains over the last three months averaging just 35,000. Combined with separate indicators showing deterioration in consumer spending, housing, and manufacturing, the overall picture is one of an economy 'on the precipice of recession,' according to Mark Zandi from Moody's Analytics. That followed a similar warning from economists at JPMorgan. Others had previously sounded the alarm on glaring red flags. But in the days leading up to the jobs report, some top commentators were still trying to explain why doomsday predictions about Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs had yet to materialize. On Thursday, former White House economic adviser Jason Furman attributed it in part to 'tariff derangement syndrome.' And last Sunday, Rockefeller International Chair Ruchir Sharma said the negative effects of tariffs were likely being offset by other factors like the AI spending splurge and lower inflationary pressure from housing, cars and energy. With Wall Street now more attuned to economic risks like Trump's trade war, the tariffs that will go into effect on Thursday may get more scrutiny. That includes steeper duties on trading partners like Canada and Switzerland. Meanwhile, the calendar of economic reports thins out in the coming week after several big ones last week. On Tuesday, the trade deficit for June comes out, providing an update on how much tariffs are impacting imports. On Thursday, second-quarter productivity is due. Earnings season has passed its peak, but several top names will issue quarterly reports. Palantir Technologies reports Monday after securing a $10 billion software and data contract from the Army. Chip giant Advanced Micro Devices will report on Tuesday—potentially offering hints at Nvidia's results, which don't come out until Aug. 27. Other companies scheduled to release earnings in the coming week include Caterpillar, Disney, and McDonald's. It will also be a busy time for pharmaceutical and biotech giants like Amgen, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly as Trump weighs steep tariffs on drugs.

Last week's big winners and losers reveal where the stock market is headed

You can learn an awful lot by looking at the list of stocks that made new highs last week — and the list of stocks that hit new lows. Foremost, they can tell you what is and isn't working in this market, especially during earnings season. We saw many groups roll over and only one, the data center, really advance. The combination of Friday's weak employment number , more discriminatory tariffs , and President Donald Trump's anger, brought out sellers after a very long run up. The selling is real and it will take an end to speculative excess and endless tariff news to get us to restart, and I don't see it happening. I hear the usual geniuses talk about how dip-buying is as stupid as ever, even as though it has been fabulous since 1982. I see a landscape that wants to go lower, but I also see earnings that don't justify big declines, just a drift until something great happens. And I don't mean Fed Chair Jerome Powell quitting. Let's start — and end — with some cracks in the Magnificent Seven. The growth in Microsoft's Azure cloud business and the breakout of Meta's multiple revenue streams explain the incredible gains of those two Club names — gains strong enough that they both made the list of new highs. The perceived weakness of Amazon's 17% gain in web services versus the whopping 39% gain in the smaller but all-powerful Azure certainly helped. Amazon put up $30.9 billion in revenues in its AWS cloud unit. That's obviously a ton of business, but it was flat with the previous quarter and only equal to the estimates. Microsoft's cloud acceleration in the quarter was jaw-dropping. The staggering distance between Azure's triumphant growth and Amazon's perceived slowing led to a rally in Microsoft's stock and a sell-off in Amazon shares — losses which triggered immense soul-searching. Was Microsoft real? Or was it inflated by its partnership with OpenAI and its ChatGPT function, which reigns supreme? The burgeoning ChatGPT roster was a big reason why OpenAI was able to raise $8.3 billion this week at a $300 billion valuation. That little-noticed fact should have turned more heads, and that alone could explain some of this week's craziness. After all, design software company Figma only raised $1.2 billion in its initial public offering Thursday, a puny deal, but it still managed to capture everyone's attention. (More on that later.) There was lots of grousing about Microsoft benefitting from the surge in OpenAI business. Some experts liken the partnership to that of Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and predict it too will soon flame out, meaning that huge stream of Open AI revenue could go away. But the amount of fear instilled by AWS critics was behind the huge sell-off in Amazon . As I made my calls to sources Friday, I kept hearing that AWS, built to sell product, isn't built to help create new businesses based on AI. There is some truth here. AWS has fallen behind Microsoft in the cloud. I also believe that it doesn't have enough Nvidia product and has too much of its own chips, which are considered inferior by the fresh-faced AI developers even as it regarded as darned good for DevOps. Amazon is underspending its competitors. That's highly unusual and not good, and it's all that people cared about last week. I wish it didn't matter, but after this quarter Amazon's status as one of the greatest companies on Earth is now going to be considered suspect. The conference call was dispiriting, with CEO Andy Jassy giving a long and unnecessary soul-searching answer to Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak's question about Amazon falling behind in generative. A do-over on that question would help, but there are none. All of the great data about retail meant nothing. Sure, we own Meta and Microsoft, but the stock of Amazon now worries me, even though I would never count these guys out in a gunfight. My work says it will all sort out itself and Amazon will reaccelerate, if not this quarter then this year and those who sell will regret it. Amazon will get the Nvidia's next generation "Rubin" chips, and swallow the damned pride of making its own chips. We just want Amazon to be the fastest and the best. How the company hasn't bought AI start-up Anthropic is downright perplexing, to use the word of the day. Oracle , of course, is a state of the art, Rent The Runway style data center that is now loved, and its build out has been nothing short of amazing. Yes, it rankles me because we owned it and lost it on account of two misses on its way to greatness. GE Vernova and Constellation Energy show up on the highs list because all of the hyperscalers admit to being power-constrained, with Amazon emphasizing the need more than the others. Constellation has nuclear, Vernova has the more practical natural gas turbines, along with nuclear. They can keep going higher, even as the bears consider them meme stocks. They are most decidedly not. Caterpillar reports next week and it will be considered part data center, part reshoring and part Biden infrastructure. All of those themes work until someone decides they don't work well enough. Eaton is a better analogue. DoorDash and Roblox make the list because there are always a couple of companies that amaze and can't be denied. Doordash caught some upgrades. Roblox has accelerating revenue. Both are awful shorts. (Reddit will have a similar trajectory when it eventually gets added to the S & P 500.) S & P Global is a pure play on offerings, something that we can all agree to are about to heat up based on Circle and Figma. And Altria ? Its basic business repels managers even as it enthralls users. I want to break down and buy Altria, which happens to be the greatest stock of all time. No kidding. Even better than Nvidia because: 1) it has been around for 100 years; and 2) the power of compounding. Then there's Figma, the spawn of CoreWeave and Circle. It looks like those who embrace meme stocks and those who love the tightly controlled bitcoin have fallen in love with the IPO process and the lack of float. Coreweave, an almost busted deal, cut the size of its initial public offering (IPO) to $1.5 billion: 37.5 million shares at $40 per share, down from its previous plan of 49 million shares at $47–55 per share. It worked and the stock exploded higher. Figma also had heavy demand and light supply, as only $1.2 billion went to the company and the rest went to selling shareholders. Strange ratio there: 12.4 million shares raised by the company and 24 million shares raised by selling shareholders. I can't blame the bankers for low-balling Circle after Coreweave. But there was no excuse for the underpricing of Figma; even the gents putting up the signs in front of the New York Stock Exchange knew it would be a smash. Anyway, it's too bad because it devolved into rank speculation as the buyers, sensing there could be no more new shares trading for six months, decided to play bitcoin and generate an increase on the second day of trading that was childish. Palantir reports results on Monday, and I am expecting another home run, which will ignite even more speculation. Friday's losers were far more varied and deep. First, can we dispense with the idea that the employment number, as weak as it was, caused the sell-off? The classic recession stocks fared miserably: Procter & Gamble , Bristol Myers , Colgate , McCormick all landed on the new-low list. (Bristol was good, but without a hit in Cobenfy, its drug to treat schizophrenia , we will never make money in it.) These stocks would be on the list of new highs if a recession was the real story. Plus, with bonds soaring and yields plunging, you would think someone would want that P & G yield. You also would have thought that Baxter would be on the new highs list in a recession, but all I can say is have no idea what's happening there. But it isn't good. If you cut your dividend (as in the case of Dow ) or if the dividend is doubted (think UPS ), you end up on the list of new lows. Both of those stocks deserve that fate. Old Dominion is a legit recession story if you want to frame it that way. Carmax , too, except the incredible move in Carvana makes that reasoning suspect. The food group is just so bad: General Mills and Conagra pop up; the latter lives on this low list. Then there are a couple of oddballs. Accenture had been on a multiyear consulting tear. That's over. It didn't take long for Otis after myriad good quarters to land on this ignoble list. Two yesteryear faves, Chipotle and Lululemon , are a reminder that this market has little enthusiasm for high-multiple disappointments. Both need huge upside surprises to change their direction. I don't see any coming. And then there's UnitedHealth , the much beloved UnitedHealth. What a death rattle feel for that Dow stock. It's a wide and varied list for the new lows. But it's not the kind of list you get when people think there is a recession coming soon. Instead, it says there is considerable rot underneath that we might not have known otherwise when we look at all of the deals and IPOs and SPACs that are being priced. Although the latter spells trouble, too — way too speculative. So where do I come out? We just had a huge move that was decapitated by Trump's tariff sword once again. To me, it was a depressing week because the speculation emanating from Figma, the endless bitcoin derivatives, and the Palantirs and next Palantirs are signs that nothing good is about to happen. We need Figma and Ciricle to be crushed if we are going to go anywhere. We need the fascination with stocks as crypto champs to die down. We need a return to the financials as leaders and techs as consolidators. Yes, we need to see consolidation in tech (and many other industries) to get things back on track. There is no sign of a pulse at the Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission, so the time is right. Which leads me back to the Magnificent Seven and Apple . The quarter was good . Double-digit growth in revenue and earnings per share. Most encouraging: When I spoke to CEO Tim Cook, the need to put big deals on the radar screen was clear. The idea of something major in a finance vertical, now that the Goldman Sachs credit card deal is unraveling, is downright exciting. But the fact that this stock went down last week? Downright depressing. How bad? If it goes down big Monday, we're going to have to some major resetting of what works around here and it won't be good.
