Here are Wednesday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:

Loop upgrades Netflix to buy from hold

Loop sees “strong near-term engagement” for Netflix.

BMO downgrades Progressive to market perform from outperform

The firm cited concerns about a declining revenue trend.

“While shares are indeed inexpensive at -21% vs. the S&P 500 when assuming a profit margin that’s more ‘normal/less good’ as competition increases, we feel less comfortable that the current declining revenue revision trendline will improve.”

Morgan Stanley reiterates Apple as overweight

Checks show mixed iPhone 17 lead-time trends.

“iPhone 17 lead times are tracking in-line to higher Y/Y, but early iPhone supply is better Y/Y, meaning early iPhone 17 demand is likely up Y/Y.”

Daiwa reiterates Nvidia as outperform

Price target raised to $205 from $165, citing undervaluation.

“NVIDIA keeps marching forward carrying the AI mantra. CEO Jensen Huang is traveling the world, finding success, and supporting this effort.”

Citi reiterates McDonald’s as buy

Price target raised to $381 from $373.

Guggenheim upgrades Workday to buy from hold

The HR software firm is better positioned now.

“Despite macro challenges, WDAY has made several improvements and is stronger than it was a few years ago.”

Roth upgrades Kroger to buy from neutral

“The outlook in commodity memory continues to improve with multiple AI tailwinds.”

Bernstein reiterates Disney as outperform

Needs more international content investment.

“Disney+ penetration remains low in many key markets, under 20% in developed regions and under 10% in some. Expanding will require local content, much like Netflix’s strategy.”

Evercore ISI downgrades FedEx to in line from outperform
