THE MIDDAY TRADE
Nvidia
Morgan Stanley (MS) thinks Nvidia (NVDA) still has plenty of room to run as its next-generation chips make their debut. Analyst Joseph Moore has given the stock a $144 price target and holds an overweight rating on the stock.
Moore is bullish on the continued demand for its current chips and he believes that demand is not going anywhere soon. Its new chip, Blackwell, is generating a lot of hype and should boost the company’s earnings to new heights.
Verizon
Goldman Sachs (GS) is bullish on Verizon (VZ). According to the investment bank, the telecom company stands to benefit from an improving industry backdrop. The bank has given it a buy rating with a $50 12-month price target. Shares are up 9% YTD.
According to analyst James Schneider, the company is poised for growth in revenue, EBITDA, and free cash flow over the next 18 months. This will come on the backs of improving execution, deleveraging and a significant growth runway for its fixed wireless product cycle.
Walmart
Deutsche Bank (DB) lifted its price target on Walmart (WMT) to $77 and kept its buy rating. Shares are up 29% YTD and analyst Krisztina Katai believes it has a 14% upside from Friday’s close.
The bank believes that a number of catalysts will contribute to the stock growth, including an increase in high-income customers and e-commerce profitability. Additionally, supply chain automation, store remodels and expansion of its international business should all serve as tailwinds.

SURVEY THE STREET
Recently, we saw Citi’s Scott Chronert lift his year-end S&P 500 forecast from 5,100 to 5,600, putting him in line with estimates from Goldman, UBS, and BMO Capital.
However, others are sounding the alarm. Yesterday, Apollo’s chief economist called the S&P 500 vulnerable, citing the risk of overconcentration as mega-cap stocks become responsible for more and more of the index’s fresh records.
Where will the S&P 500 price range be at the end of the year? |
