Guggenheim initiates Humana at buy

Guggenheim says the healthcare insurer is well positioned.

Bank of America reiterates Amazon as buy

The firm lowered its price target to $225 per share from $257, citing tariff concerns.

Bank of America reiterates Meta and Alphabet as buy

Jefferies upgrades Apple to hold from underperform

Jefferies upgraded the iPhone maker but said it’s still concerned about weak phone demand and tariffs.

“Our base case remains that AAPL would be exempted from U.S. tariffs, given its commitment to invest US$500bn in the U.S. over the next four years, and our belief that it would make additional manufacturing investment commitment in the U.S. (to make iPhone, for example). However, a rising risk of global recession could further impact already-weak iPhone demand.”
