AT&T has caught the attention of analysts with its strategic focus on Mobile/Broadband convergence. Brandon Nispel from KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded the stock to a ‘Buy’ with a price target of $30, citing AT&T’s leadership in convergence and its potential to accelerate growth in adjusted EBITDA from 3% in 2025 to nearly 5% by 2027/2028. The company’s recent acquisition of spectrum and its ambitious Fiber expansion plans are expected to strengthen its market position, making it a compelling investment despite recent competitive concerns in the wireless sector.
Ferrari is revving up its engines with a strong ‘Buy’ recommendation from analyst Jose Asumendi, who initiated coverage with a price target of €394. The luxury carmaker’s robust business model and strategic shift towards battery electric vehicles (BEV) are seen as key drivers for future growth. While there are concerns about potential margin volatility due to changes in powertrain strategy, Ferrari’s ability to meet its 2030 targets ahead of schedule and its strong demand exceeding supply are positive indicators for investors.
Bath & Body Works faces a challenging road ahead as analyst Olivia Tong downgraded the stock to ‘Hold’. The company is grappling with near-term challenges such as increased discounting and uneven product launches, which have impacted growth. Despite plans for digital and wholesale expansion under new leadership, these initiatives will take time to materialize. Investors are advised to wait for clearer signs of recovery and execution before considering entry.
United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC) is under pressure as analyst Mike Yang downgraded the stock to ‘Sell’. The company is facing structural headwinds with stagnant ASPs and increased competition from Chinese foundries in mature nodes. The outlook for UMC remains bleak with expected margin squeezes and a lack of meaningful ASP increases until post-2027. Investors are cautioned about the ongoing challenges and potential downside risks.
Gap Inc. is making a comeback, with analyst Corey Tarlowe upgrading the stock to ‘Buy’ and setting a price target of $30. The company’s turnaround under new leadership is gaining momentum, particularly with the success of campaigns like ‘Better in Denim’. Gap’s strategic focus on reducing promotional reliance and enhancing brand engagement is expected to drive growth. The potential for significant upside in beauty and Athleta’s recovery further bolsters the positive outlook for Gap.
