BMO initiates HCA Healthcare as outperform
BMO said the company is resilient.
” HCA’s ongoing investments in attractive geographies with strong demographic tailwinds coupled with accumulating benefits from its ongoing ‘resiliency’ program should keep EBITDA compounding in line with its longer-term 4-6% targeted CAGR despite weathering one of the toughest macro backdrops the industry has faced in a while.”

Stifel upgrades Microsoft to buy from hold
Stifel said the company is firing on all cylinders.
“Overall, MSFT clearly turned the corner post the June quarter print and with our growing sense the company can drive sustained strong Azure upside (200-300 bps) stemming from incremental capacity monetization, reduced LLM R & D intensity and accelerating OAI revenue contribution given the uptick in OAI’s business, we expect recent stock momentum to continue into 2H.”

JPMorgan upgrades BP to overweight from neutral
JPMorgan said the company is on the “road to redemption.”

JPMorgan upgrades Graphic Packaging to overweight from neutral
JPMorgan said buy the weakness.
“With the shares now trading below 10x 2027 P/E and offering a dividend yield of ~5%, we find the return profile of GPK to be attractive and therefore upgrade our recommendation from Neutral to Overweight, but revise our Dec-2027 target price from $12.5/sh to $11.5/sh.”
