Edison International has been downgraded by analyst Steve Fleishman to a Hold position, reflecting concerns over ongoing litigation risks and regulatory uncertainties. The lack of clarity surrounding new legislation and pending regulatory decisions has prompted a cautious approach. Investors are advised to remain on the sidelines as the company navigates these challenges, which may require increased shareholder contributions.
Apple Hospitality REIT has also seen a downgrade to Hold by analyst Ari Klein, with a revised price target of $12. The lodging demand remains uneven, and the company faces challenges with shorter booking windows and low group exposure. Despite having a high-quality portfolio, the macroeconomic uncertainties and soft occupancy rates have led to a cautious outlook, with a high bar set for the second half of the year.
Oklo Inc. has been upgraded to a Buy by analyst Jeff Campbell, with a price target of $71. The company’s future growth is heavily tied to fuel availability, which is seen as a key variable for success. The upgrade reflects optimism about Oklo’s potential in the renewable energy sector, with a focus on innovative fuel solutions driving the positive outlook.
Heron Therapeutics has initiated coverage with a Buy rating by analyst Brandon Folkes, targeting a price of $6. The company is experiencing a revenue inflection with its product Zynrelef, a non-opioid analgesic. Strong clinical data and strategic partnerships are expected to support a broader commercial ramp, with potential revenue tailwinds anticipated in the latter half of the year.
Fifth Third Bancorp has been upgraded to a Buy by analyst Peter Winter, with an increased price target of $47. The upgrade is based on improved customer sentiment and favorable tax treatments, which are expected to drive loan growth and net interest income. Despite past underperformance, the bank is positioned to regain a premium valuation, supported by strong profitability metrics and a positive credit outlook.
