Monday’s Biggest Analyst Calls: Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Roblox, Caterpillar, Uber, Zillow, Amazon & More

Here are Monday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:

‍

Citi Maintains Buy Rating on Roblox
Citi reaffirmed its bullish stance on Roblox while increasing its price target from $63 to $82 per share ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings report.

‍

“Since reporting third-quarter earnings, Roblox’s stock has surged from $42 to $70, primarily driven by a 34% increase in bookings during the period. We believe that new experiences have contributed to this strong growth.”

‍

Baird Lowers Rating on CrowdStrike to Neutral
Baird downgraded CrowdStrike from outperform to neutral, citing valuation concerns.

‍

“Valuations among large-cap cybersecurity firms are at historically high premiums, reflecting a degree of market misalignment. Given the balanced risk-reward outlook in the near term, we prefer to wait for a more attractive entry point. As a result, we are downgrading large-cap names such as Cloudflare (NET), CrowdStrike (CRWD), and Fortinet (FTNT) to Neutral due to valuation concerns.”

‍

Piper Sandler Downgrades Constellation Brands to Neutral
Piper Sandler downgraded Constellation Brands, citing potential headwinds from new tariffs.

‍

“We are moving Constellation Brands (STZ) to a Neutral rating following former President Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports, which went into effect on February 1, 2025. While the duration of these tariffs remains uncertain, our models currently assume they will remain in place for at least one quarter.”

‍

KeyBanc Upgrades Zillow to Overweight
KeyBanc expressed confidence in Zillow’s outlook, upgrading the online real estate company to overweight from sector weight.

‍

“With strong incremental margins and a disciplined approach to investment, we believe Zillow is positioned for significant margin expansion moving forward.”

‍

Morgan Stanley Downgrades U.S. Steel to Equal Weight
Morgan Stanley adjusted its rating on U.S. Steel, citing valuation concerns and potential tariff implications.

‍

“We anticipate steel prices will rise in 2025 due to new trade protectionist policies introduced by the Trump administration and a modest 1.6% increase in steel demand based on our analysis. However, given that U.S. Steel’s stock now trades near our standalone valuation estimate of $39 per share, we are lowering our rating to equal weight.”

‍

Bernstein Maintains Outperform Rating on Nvidia
Bernstein reaffirmed its bullish stance on Nvidia, stating that tariffs currently pose little direct risk to the stock.

‍

“For now, we see minimal direct impact from potential tariff hikes on Mexico, Canada, and China for companies in our coverage universe. The bigger concern is indirect effects and escalation, as a broader set of semiconductor imports could be impacted if the new administration implements more sweeping measures.”

‍

Redburn Atlantic Equities Upgrades Dexcom to Buy
Redburn upgraded Dexcom, highlighting its strong positioning in the glucose monitoring market.

‍

“Dexcom is well-positioned to benefit from structural growth in the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) space, supporting a projected 16% compound annual revenue growth rate from 2024 to 2027 as it expands its reach into the underpenetrated Type 2 non-insulin market.”

‍

Wedbush Initiates Coverage on Tower Semiconductor with Outperform Rating

‍

UBS Upgrades Caterpillar to Neutral
UBS moved Caterpillar from sell to neutral, citing improved risk-reward dynamics.

“After two consecutive quarters of EBIT misses, expectations for Caterpillar have been adjusted downward. Given the company’s reasonable 2025 outlook, we believe the risk-reward profile is now balanced.”

‍

Raymond James Upgrades Booz Allen Hamilton to Outperform
Raymond James sees Booz Allen Hamilton as well-positioned to withstand tariff-related headwinds.

‍

“We believe now is an opportune time to revisit stocks impacted by tariffs. As investors shift away from highly exposed names, Booz Allen Hamilton remains well-positioned to weather the tariff environment.”

‍

Loop Downgrades FedEx to Hold
Loop Capital advised against investing in transportation stocks during a trade war, downgrading FedEx from buy to hold.

‍

“In the transportation sector, we are adjusting our ratings due to escalating trade tensions. We are downgrading Canadian Pacific KC from buy to sell, Canadian National from hold to sell, and Union Pacific from hold to sell. Similarly, FedEx, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and GXO Logistics are being moved from buy to hold.”

‍

Goldman Sachs Adds Bank of America to Conviction List
Goldman Sachs included Bank of America in its list of top investment ideas.

‍

Wedbush upgraded Tempur Sealy following the approval of its merger with Mattress Firm.
