Biggest Calls

As we roll into another week on Wall Street, CNBC has compiled a list of some of the most significant analyst calls on Monday. 

Morgan Stanley (MS) highlights Delta Airlines (DAL) as one of its top picks. The firm believes the airline has the potential for over 77% upside and gave it a price target of $85. 

Another big call came in for Micron (MU). Bank of America (BAC) increased its price target for the chipmaker to $144, giving it around 20% upside.

Tech Stocks

Jefferies (JEF) has named Microsoft (MSFT) one of its favorite AI stocks. The firm raised its price target to $550, which would be over 29% upside from Monday’s open. The stock is up over 12% this year. 

Alphabet (GOOG) and Spotify (SPOT) are among BofA’s favorite stocks, and not just in the tech space. Both were listed on the bank’s top 10 picks for the upcoming quarter. Spotify is up more than 40% year-to-date, while Alphabet is up over 12% over the same period.

Trouble for Truckers

Barclays (BCS) has downgraded the stocks of three major truckers:

  • J.B. Hunt (JBHT)

  • C.H. Robinson (CHRW)

  • Werner Enterprises (WERN)

According to analyst Brandon Oglenski, volume, growth, and margin issues were the reason for downgrades for each trucking company, respectively. J.B. Hunt and Werner moved to equal weight from overweight. C.H. Robinson moved from equal weight to underweight. Of the three, J.B. Hunt is the only stock up this year, but just barely, at 0.51%. 

These calls could provide some guidance for investors looking to start this quarter off on the right foot.
