Upgrades
-
TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE:TJX): Upgrade to Buy by Jay Capital. The analyst emphasizes sturdy fundamentals and growth drivers, underpinned by consistent traffic-led comparable sales growth and a focus on younger consumer demographics.
“Following recent developments, TJX shows continued momentum in traffic-led growth along with deeper structural improvements… By resonating with younger shoppers today, TJX is building up loyalty and brand relevance… nurturing the idea of the ‘treasure hunt’ proposition with consumers.”
-
Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM): Upgrade to Buy by Bay Area Ideas. Analysts see potential in Salesforce’s aggressive AI adoption, despite existing monetization challenges, citing an attractive entry due to current valuation and strategic positioning.
“While guidance was less than desirable, given the company’s dominant position… Salesforce seems to be in a great position to be a major provider of agentic AI… With the valuation being at a discount, now is a prime opportunity to buy in.”
Downgrades
-
Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU): Downgrade from Buy to Hold by Danil Sereda. The analysis centers around the rapid price surge which diminishes upside potential, coupled with a lack of margins of safety for new investors.
“MU’s fundamentals have improved, but the margin of safety that Micron once had in place is now gone… Until I see some margin of safety again, I’m going to have a ‘Hold’ rating on Micron.”
-
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA): Downgrade to Sell by Juxtaposed Ideas. The analyst argues against Tesla’s excessive valuations, which seem unsupported by their fundamentals amidst growing competitive pressures in the EV market.
“Combined with the inability to break out of the 52-week heights… we believe that the stock is likely to reverse in momentum… while downgrading the TSLA stock to a Sell here.”
