Summary · why it matters

HSBC upgraded Adobe to Buy from Hold with a price target of $308, up from $282, arguing the market overestimates the adverse impact of AI-based design tools. DA Davidson upgraded Palantir to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $175, up from $165, noting the company has grown into its valuation as profits rose significantly and the stock's multiple contracted. Wolfe Research upgraded Chevron to Outperform from Peer Perform with a $210 price target, citing incremental production options that extend the free cash flow growth outlook beyond 2030. Needham upgraded Silicom to Buy from Hold with a $60 price target after the company announced material progress with a new AI inference customer, resulting in initial production orders. TD Securities upgraded BCE to Buy from Hold with an unchanged price target of C$37, calling the 13% selloff since early June unjustified and an attractive entry point. On the downgrade side, Goldman Sachs cut SkyWest to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $108, down from $126, citing downside risk to block hours. Susquehanna downgraded Greenbrier to Neutral from Positive with an unchanged price target of $52, pointing to a lack of visibility on improved builds and tariffs. Barclays downgraded Dana to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $33, down from $41, believing the path to a higher valuation multiple will take time. DA Davidson downgraded AGNT Inc. to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $6.50, down from $10.25, as checks suggest core U.S. agent count trends resumed their downward trajectory midway through Q2. China Renaissance downgraded Trip.com to Hold from Buy with a $42 price target. Among new initiations, BMO Capital started Honeywell Aerospace with an Outperform rating and $276 price target, implying 21% upside. JPMorgan resumed coverage of On Holding with an Overweight rating and $51 price target, placing the shares on Positive Catalyst Watch. RBC Capital initiated NiSource with an Outperform rating and $52 price target, highlighting a rare combination of above-peer EPS growth and a favorable data center setup in Indiana. RBC Capital also initiated PSEG with a Sector Perform rating and $81 price target, noting the New Jersey regulatory overhang is potentially alleviating but wanting more clarity. KeyBanc initiated Waystar with an Overweight rating and $30 price target, seeing a large valuation disconnect given the company's high-margin growth story with large moats.
