Top Calls on Wall Street: Nvidia, SpaceX, Tesla, Microsoft, AMD, IBM, Cava & More

Here are Wednesday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:

Raymond James reiterates Nvidia as strong buy

Raymond James said it’s sticking with the stock.

“Server trends cited by channel partners and supply chain continue to reveal strength from accelerated platforms (i.e., AI machines), including incremental demand/interest from the enterprise side and traditional servers too. Wider availability of Nvidia Blackwell GPUs have improved shipments, and intra quarter supply chain checks reveal continued improvement.”

UBS reiterates SpaceX as buy

UBS said the “next big milestone” is on July 16.

“SpaceX is targeting July 16th at 6:45PM ET for its 13th Starship test flight, which if successful will build on the achievements of Flight 12 and demonstrate further maturity of the rocket.”

Morgan Stanley upgrades Cava to overweight from equal weight

Morgan Stanley upgraded Cava and said it “stands out” relative to peers.

“And while this is not a cheap stock even after recent weakness, on the growth side of our coverage, it stands out as one of few where we feel good about most of the KPIs that matter – traffic growth, unit growth, new store performance, and margin visibility.”

Mizuho reiterates Palantir as outperform
