Best Stocks to Watch According to Top Analysts


Markets always remain uncertain, inflation being the theme, rate policy is the other, with geopolitical tension thrown in between. Double wondering, long-term investors prefer to refuse to hear any temporal noise. Instead, there are companies with structural tailwinds, margin expansion stories, and consistent execution on their radar. Here is a list of six names that have really been shining as of today.

Chewy (CHWY)

Doug Anmuth from JPMorgan remains bullish with an upward target revision to $47 for Chewy. The market punishment was too harsh for free cash flow going down, especially since customer count was up and Autoship engagement was stronger. This is an underestimated name in my opinion. Pet care is sticky spending, and Chewy's building recurring revenue through Autoship should have some resilience against investor thoughts. Execution has gotten better, and if the company can maintain its margin trajectory, it can have real upside.

Pinterest (PINS)

Bank of America sees very strong value in Pinterest's relationship with Instacart, shoppable ads linked directly to purchase data in the real world. It is a very important step for digital ad attribution. Pinterest is silently owning the intent layer of the internet. People don't scroll for memes; they scroll for meals, homes, and fashion. That context becomes golden for advertisers. Hence, it's a high-leverage investment in performance media, especially with AI targeting still in its infancy.

Uber Technologies (UBER)

Stifel has initiated coverage with a price target of $110, citing Uber's evolution into a platform business for rides, food, logistics, and advertising. Uber is quietly becoming an infrastructure company abstraction for attention, habit, and transactions. It's becoming profitable at a global scale, and its optionality is, well, just starting to get monetized, with ads, freight, and Uber One.

Eli Lilly (LLY)

Lilly’s GLP-1 drugs (like Zepbound) are actualizing the picture of tomorrow in metabolic health, and in the words of Wells Fargo, this is one of the most compelling growth stories in healthcare. I don’t think this is a passing craze; it is a secular shift in treatment. With deep pipelines and pricing power, LLY is one of the rare companies that have dual sets of defensive stability and explosive growth potential.

Nvidia (NVDA)

Demand for AI hasn’t just stayed strong; it has exceeded expectations at an even faster rate. With a 10-for-1 split concluded, Nvidia continues to be the center of compute globally. Is it expensive? Yeah. Yet if you believe AI is the next industrial revolution, NVDA might be the picks-and-shovels trade. And so, it is arguably underpriced in comparison to its dominance.

Amazon (AMZN)

Analysts see AWS stabilizing margins versus e-commerce rebound. Ad growth is another pillar for higher margins. Don't care much about the excitement factor at Amazon anymore, and that is why it is worth watching. Margins are back, international growth is ramping up, and GenAI could unleash AWS 2.0.

What's Really Going On With US Stocks and China Tariffs

 Trade talks between the US and China are once again trending in the markets, this time pushing the markets upward. Now, Goldman Sachs Research confidence suggests that the  S&P 500 Index , which tracks 500 of the largest US companies, will go up  11% over the next year  to 6,500, mainly on the back of better trade relations and the chances of lower tariffs. Tariffs are taxes that governments put on imported goods. If the United States levies tariffs on Chinese products, American companies would have to pay higher prices when importing from China. Those companies could turn around and pass on the increased prices to the end consumers, absorb them themselves and hit their profits, or communicate these costs to suppliers. Investors are watching to see which companies will be hammered the hardest. Recent earnings did look good; US companies saw profits grow by 12% year over year last quarter, but that was before the effect was being felt from the new tariffs was fel...

Markets Begin the Week Mixed Amid Global Trade Uncertainty

Asian markets opened the week on a mixed note after Wall Street hit new highs. Tokyo and Shanghai were up, but the Hang Seng and Taiwan’s Taiex were down, reflecting the global uncertainty despite a brief bout of optimism. Much of the bullishness in the US was triggered by Canada’s about-face on taxing US tech companies, which got trade talks back on track. According to the  Associated Press , Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said talks were back on, and markets were calm. Result? The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to 6,173.07, the Nasdaq 20,273.46 and the Dow 1% to 43,819.27. It wasn’t just tech that was driving the rally. Almost every sector in the S&P 500 was up, including  Nike , which rose 15.2% despite warning of a tariff hit to earnings. That’s kind of the theme of the week. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 was up 0.6% and China’s Shanghai Composite 0.5%, possibly helped by a slight improvement in factory activity after US-China tariffs were postponed in May. But Chinese manuf...
