Goldman Sachs reiterates Apple as buy

Goldman said it’s standing by its buy rating on the stock.

“Apple (AAPL, Buy) should also benefit from a recovery in industry PC demand, as well as a track record of share gains.”

DA Davidson initiates Nvidia as neutral

DA said Nvidia could be “vulnerable” to AI hype.

“While we continue to believe that generative AI is the most important transformative technology since the Internet, we do not expect the same level of investment we saw in 2023 continuing beyond 2024 and initiate coverage at a NEUTRAL rating.”

Bank of America reiterates Amazon as buy

Wolfe upgrades Citi to outperform from peer perform

KBW downgrading SoFi to underperform from market perform

KBW downgraded the stock mainly on valuation.

“We are moving our rating on SOFI to Underperform (from MP) due to a combination of recent outperformance but also a re-underwriting of our model, which slightly reduced estimates, leaving us materially below consensus.”

BTIG initiates VinFast as buy

BTIG said the EV company is well-positioned for expansion into North America.

“VinFast is a Vietnam-based passenger electric vehicle (EV) OEM looking to expand into North America (NAM) with longer-term expansion plans into Europe and Asia.”

KeyBanc upgrades Verizon to overweight from sector weight

Key said it’s bullish on Verizon in 2024.

“Our view is based off of: 1) Wireless industry competitive intensity being low, which makes us want more Wireless exposure, and VZ should show better postpaid phone net add performance; 2) VZ’s Broadband subscriber growth is far outpacing T’s.”

Jefferies upgrades GSK to buy from hold

Jefferies said it sees an attractive risk/reward for the biopharma company.

“Novartis is still top-pick, then GSK which we upgrade to Buy on near-term risk-reward, and Sanofi’s robust growth remains underappreciated.”

Mizuho downgrades Exxon to hold from buy

Mizuho said in its downgrade of Exxon that it’s concerned about a “weakening” macro.

“On the downside, weakening macro outlook will impact its Downstream operations more than IOC [integrated oil companies] peers and could be a headwind.”

Barclays initiates Teladoc as overweight

Barclays said in its initiation of the telehealth company that shares are attractively valued.

“We see an opportunity in TDOC given its near-trough valuation at a discount to even services peers a newfound focus on profitability, balance sheet flexibility, and an embedded platform that lends itself to cross-sales.”
