What I am looking at, December 6, 2021:
- Rivian (RIVN) started at neutral at Goldman, JPMorgan...but 9 buys...Morgan Stanley calls it "the one"... cites compelling product, strong management, Amazon relationship...
- PNC Financial (PNC) cut from hold to sell at Morgan Stanley... this is almost always a bad call because the Street loves a large regional like this... firm goes buy to hold on Citigroup (C) too... wow so far below tangible book, somebody must really not like this one... Betsy Graseck, a powerful analyst, says a lack of catalysts... upgrades Goldman (GS) sell to hold
- Deutsche Bank (DB) upgraded hold to buy at JPMorgan...
- High impact: Home Depot (HD) upgraded hold to buy at Opco... cites continued if not outsized sales and profit expansion... Raises price target on Lowe's to $300 from $235
- Weave Communications (WEAV)...small- and medium-sized business helper... targeted websites... this IPO came at $24, opened lower and then went lower still... the story of the late IPOs?... $21.80 opening... So it gets recommended; multiple buys on Street today
- Lucid (LCID) SEC investigation of combination with Churchill IV... got subpoena December 3...
- Goldman starts Regeneron (REGN) with a buy, likes Dupixent-which is for eczema
- Boston Beer (SAM)...the pain done—Cowen goes from sell to hold $400 goes to $500...
- Citi moves Applied Materials (AMAT) to top pick, replacing Charitable Trust name Marvell Technology (MRVL)... which had a monster quarter and is way ahead of the group...
- Electronic Arts (EA)... Citi upgrades from hold to buy... washed out and $150 target down from $160...
- Lulu's Fashion Lounge (LVLU)... another bust of a deal... $16 pricing; opens at $14.05; LVLU is now at $11... yet gets 9 buy ratings today
- Chewy (CHWY) cut from buy to hold at Wedbush… reports on the ninth of this week... an omen?... worth selling this $26 billion company ahead?... analyst sees growth below consensus...
- Left field—Will Russia invade Ukraine soon?... NATO allies swinging to Biden assessment...
- China cuts reserves banks have to hold by ½ %... releases $188 billion to counter economic slowdown.
- Ulta Beauty (ULTA)... PT raised from $492 to $516 at Barclays... analyst loved the recent upside surprise
- Omicron spreads, but hospitalizations remain low...
- Barclays lowers General Electric (GE) target from $128 to $122...keeps as a buy but says valuation looks quite full—wow—the break-up did not inspire buying at all...
- RBC loves Investing Club name Ford (F)...cites breakup and earnings...
