However, the bar to show initial target engagement is much lower, in our view, and thus, we'd be buyers on any incremental downside on first data, assuming safety data are acceptable and some target engagement is shown, as data from additional cohorts, and from other programs (i.e., prasinezumab, birtamimab) should make for a catalyst-rich 2024.” Looking ahead, the analyst puts a Buy rating on PRTA shares, along with a $62 price target that suggests a one-year gain of 55% for the shares. She is upbeat, seeing the stock as a potential gainer as more and more positive data come in from the clinical trials, writing, “Based on results of a Phase 2b study for COMP360 in TRD, we think PoS in the ongoing Ph3s is very high (i.e., 75%+), and see potential for the Ph3 data (two studies, data summer 2024 and mid-2025, respectively) to be some of the best registrational data in the depression space historically; however, questions around COMP360 commercial infrastructure, competitive landscape, IP, and commercial / peak sales opportunity have capped enthusiasm around COMP360 and other psychedelic compounds in rigorous clinical trials since COMP360’s Ph2b topline data in 2021.” However, Bitritto-Garg believes “many of these concerns are overdone.” “Thus,” she goes on to add, “with shares still trading near all-time lows, we like the setup into data mid-2024; we think shares could run towards the double digits into topline data as investors start looking at key 2024 events and turning attention back to COMP360.” This adds up to a Buy rating, and the analyst’s $16 price target implies the shares will double in value over the course of the next year. | High-quality dividend stocks like Coke, Clorox, and Target should prove to be a worthwhile investment that blends dividend income and capital gains over time.

SoFi, based in San Francisco, operates as an online financial services company, describing itself as “a member-centric, one-stop shop for digital financial services that helps members borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money.” That fluctuating stock price happened despite improving results in the third quarter, when it had record revenue of $537 million, up 27% year over year from $423 million. While SoFi maintains that each deal is different, Perito noted “we continue to be a bit cautious on the secondary market for personal loans.” Perito characterized his target price of $7.50 for SoFi Technologies as revolving around “uncertainty around the bank’s long-term profitability, particularly around its cross-selling strategy.” He considers that strategy too costly, without providing enough revenue. | Just in time for Christmas -- and for the second time in a week -- analysts are raising price targets on United Parcel Services (NYSE: UPS) stock, which enjoyed a modest 2.7% bump in share price through 11 a.m. Long story short: Valuing UPS stock on a level of earnings that it's unlikely to be ""earning"" again for several years is a strategy likely to turn the stock into a value trap for investors.

The letter was sent to tens of major banks and public lenders in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia who had financed an earlier LNG project in the country or TotalEnergies TTEF.PA projects in the Asia Pacific region since 2018. The 5.4 million tonnes per year Papua LNG is the second major gas project in the impoverished Pacific country and is a joint venture between TotalEnergies, Exxon Mobil XOM.N, Santos STO.AX and state-owned Kumul Petroleum. | Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc.

The S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO rose 0.2% to 7,247.30 by 2340 GMT, in line with gains in U.S. stocks after a stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation report did little to alter views for the timing of a rate cut. With the U.S. central bank widely expected to keep rates on hold at the end of its monetary policy meeting later in the day, investors will focus on how Fed officials see the economy holding up and where they see interest rates over the coming quarters."

GameStop Turns to Stock Picking in Latest Bet For one, allowing Cohen to use cash in the company’s coffers to buy other stocks makes GameStop an even riskier bet than it already is. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who dubbed the new investment strategy as “the most inane decision” he has ever seen, said in a report that investors “do not need GameStop to act as a mutual fund.” Pachter noted that the company “should use its excess cash to buy back stock,” adding that the move by GameStop and Cohen was “alarming.” The implication here, Pachter argued in a post on X, is that Cohen “clearly believes GameStop stock is a lower return investment than other market opportunities.” So, if the GameStop CEO would rather use some of the company’s cash to buy other stocks instead of purchasing more GameStop shares or reinvesting in the actual business, why should average investors feel confident putting their own money in the floundering retailer? | Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock.

AP reported, “Local mechanics have also stopped servicing Tesla cars in efforts to support the union action, and deliveries have been refused at Sweden’s four largest ports.” In an effort to get vehicles into the country, Tesla unwisely decided it would bring them in by truck through Denmark.

This provided investors with much-needed visibility towards a significant increase in adjusted operating margins and EPS growth.” Hone went on to explain why he believes that this stock is likely to keep on its upward trajectory, especially on profit growth: “We believe 3Q23 was a turning point for SQ, with earnings/operating income growth at a material positive inflection, and we foresee durable gross profit growth across both Cash App and Square Seller over the medium term, in tandem with much greater operating efficiency.” Once again, we’re looking at a stock that Hone rates as Outperform (a Buy). Consensus estimates appear to only reflect organic growth (our model incorporates 14%/13% revenue growth in 2024E/2025E respectively, versus consensus at 9%/10%)… FLT’s revenue model is highly recurring (retention >90%) and highly profitable (EBITDA margins >50%), with a long runway of grow ahead across multiple business lines (notably in its Corporate Payments business).” Tracking this stance forward, Hone gives FLT an Outperform (Buy) rating, with a $300 price target that shows his confidence in a 19% gain in the year ahead. | New research uncovers troublesome possibilities The gene therapy candidate made by Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics is called exa-cel, and it's intended to treat sickle cell disease (SCD), a hereditary blood disorder that causes red blood cells to have a shape that's closer to a waxing crescent moon than their proper and iconic frisbee-like form. After that, the engineered stem cells spend the rest of their active life multiplying themselves to create daughter cells, some of which then differentiate and become healthy new red blood cells, and some of which remain stem cells doing the same as their parent.

It is worth noting that AMD's market cap grew at a faster pace than its stock price in the past seven years thanks to an increase in the number of outstanding shares, which may happen if the company issues more shares, executes a stock split, or there is redemption of stock options by employees. This suggests that the market rewarded AMD for its growth over the years despite the dilution that an increase in the number of outstanding shares brings (stock splits don't lead to dilution, however, and AMD last split its stock in the year 2000). | AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) stand out as two of the biggest pharma stocks around.

If the company can post a solid holiday sales report, shares of the eCommerce tech stock should shoot up substantially in 2023. eBay’s AI tools should further accelerate its sales rate, too, as users can quickly and easily create listings en masse. | Using TipRanks’ Stock Comparison Tool, we placed Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) against each other to find out the AI stock that could deliver the best returns as per Wall Street analysts.

The stock continued to move higher in early December, approaching an all-time high, and shares are expensive, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 31, but Apple has proved it deserves to trade at a premium even with flat revenue as it has tremendous pricing power, and the services segment should continue to drive growth on the top and bottom lines.
