Tuesday broker calls across major sectors
As reported by CNBC, Wall Street firms publish a wide set of recommendation changes on Tuesday, led by calls on technology and growth names. DA Davidson upgrades Broadcom to buy from neutral, citing optimism about the company’s relationship with Anthropic, while Goldman Sachs reiterates Apple at buy and raises its price target to $390 per share from $360.Elsewhere, Stephens initiates Mama’s Creations at overweight, RBC initiates Ermenegildo Zegna at outperform, and Bank of America reiterates SpaceX at buy while adding the stock to its top picks list.

Market focus stays on AI, earnings and high-growth names
The latest round of calls shows that artificial intelligence exposure and near-term earnings catalysts remain central themes for analysts. Broadcom, Apple, Palantir, Intel and CoreWeave all sit within that focus, with firms adjusting ratings or targets as investors weigh demand trends, partnerships and upcoming financial results.The list also highlights continued analyst interest beyond mega-cap equities, extending to private-market company SpaceX, luxury group Ermenegildo Zegna, Latin American e-commerce company MercadoLibre, and smaller healthcare names such as Dianthus and DarioHealth. Together, the recommendations point to a market environment in which brokers are still separating likely winners from laggards across multiple industries.
In our earlier article on the AI-linked tech selloff driven by rate fears, we explained how hotter-than-expected inflation data reignited expectations of additional Fed tightening and pressured Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures. We also highlighted the focus on highly leveraged AI infrastructure plays such as CoreWeave, where concerns about the cost of funding large-scale AI spending amplified the broader pullback in chip and cloud-related names.
