SoundHound AI, Inc. has recently been downgraded to a ‘Hold’ by analyst James Fish, reflecting a more cautious stance amidst a challenging sector environment. Despite maintaining a $12 price target, the downgrade stems from concerns over the company’s ability to execute its strategies in the latter half of 2025. The company is striving for profitability while investing in its Amelia project, which presents a challenging balance. While SoundHound’s long-term opportunities remain promising, near-term risks and potential delays in deals have led to a more balanced risk-reward outlook.
Best Buy Co. has also been downgraded to ‘Neutral’ by analyst Peter Keith, with a price target of $75. The downgrade is attributed to a lack of catalysts to drive significant growth in the coming quarters. Concerns about competition in the appliance and TV categories, coupled with a modest correlation between appliance sales and housing turnover, have contributed to this cautious outlook. However, there are positive aspects, such as the upcoming Marketplace launch and a potential housing rebound, which could benefit Best Buy in the future.
Cleveland-Cliffs has been initiated with a ‘Hold’ rating by analyst Bill Peterson, with a price target of $7.50. The rating reflects a balanced risk-reward scenario, with trade-related news likely influencing stock movements. While protectionism has supported higher pricing levels, challenges such as low Brazilian slab prices and the need for further structural cost reductions remain. The company’s debt load is a concern, but potential catalysts like CAD tariff reprieves could provide positive momentum.
CrowdStrike Holdings has been downgraded to ‘Hold’ by analysts Keith Weiss and Steven Koenig, with price targets of $495 and $465, respectively. Despite being a market leader in cybersecurity and benefiting from AI tailwinds, the stock’s recent surge has led to a valuation that appears fully priced. High investor expectations and a lack of near-term catalysts contribute to the cautious stance. While the long-term growth potential remains strong, the current valuation and competition from Microsoft present potential risks.
Boeing has been upgraded to ‘Buy’ by analyst Douglas Harned, with a raised price target of $282. The upgrade is based on improved prospects for the 737 and 787 production ramps, as well as a stronger outlook for Boeing Defense, Space & Security Systems and Boeing Global Services. Positive preliminary findings on the Air India crash and better free cash flow estimates further support the optimistic outlook. The company’s strategic decisions and increased confidence in production targets have led to a more favorable assessment.
