Medtronic initiated at Sell
A new analyst at UBS assumed coverage on Medtronic (NYSE:) with a Sell rating and $79 price target, noting it lacks conviction that the company can return to sustainable mid-single-digit top-line growth and drive consistent operating margin upside, despite the company’s ongoing transformation.
CFRA initiates XPeng with a Sell rating, expects relatively small players to face difficulties
CFRA initiated coverage on Xpeng (NYSE:) with a Sell rating and a price target of $8.00.
While the firm expects XPeng’s revenue momentum to sustain, driven by rising demand for electric vehicles, it believes competition will rise aggressively in the next 2-3 years, given more traditional brands (e.g., Toyota, Volkswagen, and Ford) are rapidly rolling out their respective EV models, as well as threats from well-established Chinese EV brands (e.g., Li Auto, BYD, and Geely).
“We expect relatively small players like XPeng to face difficulties in expanding market share organically after the pent-up demand tapers. This becomes additionally challenging as industry peers are cutting prices to boost sales volume,” said the firm.
Ciena downgraded at Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley downgraded Ciena (NYSE:) to Equalweight from Overweight and cut its price target to $57.00 from $59.00.
Meanwhile, Raymond James upgraded the stock to Strong Buy on the expected new market entry. Shares rose more than 4% yesterday.
3 more downgrades
Société Générale downgraded Merck (NYSE:) to Hold from Buy.
BofA Securities downgraded iHeartMedia (NASDAQ:) to Underperform from Neutral and cut its price target to $4.00 from $6.50. Shares plunged more than 11% yesterday.
Goldman Sachs downgraded Delek US Energy (NYSE:) to Neutral from Buy and cut its price target to $24.00 from $36.00.
