Here are the biggest calls on Wall Street on Thursday:
The firm says it’s cautiously optimistic on Tesla’s full self-driving technology, but cautioned that it will take time.
“We do not expect FSD to be safer than a human in 2Q of this year, as Tesla targets. However, we believe FSD attach rates/monetization could pick up from what we believe are relatively low levels currently as performance improves, and we assume some increase in Tesla’s automotive gross margin in 2026/2027 in part as a result of higher FSD revenue.”
DA says it “remain[s] cautious on Nvidia’s ability to meet consensus expectations for CY2026 and beyond.”
“With this analysis in mind, we continue to believe 2025 could be a peak year for NVDA and remain street low on 2026.”
The firm says the e-commerce giant is best positioned heading into earnings in early February.
“Amazon remains our preferred e-commerce name heading into the print and into 2025.”
Seaport says it sees “share tailwinds” ahead of earnings next week.
“We are upgrading NFLX shares to Buy from Neutral ahead of 4Q24 earnings, with a $955 PT, due to an increase in our net member addition estimate to +9.0MM from +5.7MM, and to the operational tail-winds that should support Netflix’s position with industry-leading original content accolades.”
Wolfe says it sees slowing revenue growth for the semis company.
“Downgrading AMD to Peer Perform from OP. Our downgrade is based on a lower expectation for datacenter GPU [graphic processing unit] revenue this year than we previously expected.”
Bank of America says it’s sticking with its buy rating on the entertainment giant.
“However, within our Media and Entertainment coverage DIS has best in class assets (premium IP, best-in-class sports brand, iconic theme park franchise, etc.) and remains well positioned long term, in our view.”
Citi says the airline stock is overvalued right now.
“Over time, we see Southwest’s valuation correcting to more normalized levels, as the network carriers’ premium travel gains, limit Southwest’s efforts to penetrate that category.”
