Raymond James upgrades Devon Energy to strong buy from outperform

Raymond James said the energy company is “embracing” AI.

Wolfe reiterates Tesla as peer perform

Wolfe said momentum may be hard to find for Tesla heading into the rest of the year.

“This is ultimately a catalyst driven stock. And while the Bulls will continue to focus on the long-term (which, as we’ve discussed previously is compelling, especially as TSLA rapidly reduces robotaxi cost/mile & achieves scale with Optimus), we think it could be tough for the shares to find momentum near-term, especially as competitors continue to ramp-up.”

Bank of America upgrades Ulta Beauty to buy from neutral

Bank of America said it sees multiple expansion.

“The market is moving from AI curiosity to AI consequence, and Palantir is the leader in this transition without engaging in a race to the bottom. We reiterate our Buy rating and PO of $255.”

Bank of America downgrades Lowe’s to neutral from buy

Bank of America reinstated coverage of the stock and says the risk/reward is balanced.

“We are reinstating coverage of LOW with a Neutral rating. Shares trade at 17x P/E, a 13% discount to Home Depot (HD), near a 5-year relative peak. We think the risk/reward is balanced at these levels given earnings growth is constrained (we forecast a 3% 2yr EPS CAGR) and lacks a catalyst as housing activity stays subdued.”

Seaport initiates Lam Research and Applied Materials at buy

Seaport said the wafer fabrication equipment companies have plenty of upside.

“We are initiating coverage of AMAT with a Buy rating and $500 PT, LRCX with a Buy rating and $300 PT, and ACMR with a Buy rating and $75 PT.”

Bank of America reinstates Home Depot as buy
