For the second year in a row, a religious Super Bowl ad campaign promised viewers that Jesus “gets us.”Two commercials shown Sunday night centered Jesus’ message to love your neighbors — even across ideological divides. “Our goal is to really show that Jesus loved and cared for anyone and everyone,” He Gets Us campaign spokesperson Greg Miller told The Associated Press on Monday. The “He Gets Us” campaign is now under a new charitable organization, Come Near, meaning the Servant Foundation is no longer overseeing it. This is the 12th consecutive year the Church of Scientology has premiered a new ad during the Super Bowl, said spokesperson Erin Banks. “The audience of the Super Bowl allows us to do that with the greatest potential reach.”___AP Religion News Editor Holly Meyer and reporter Deepa Bharath contributed.

Investors should buy AT & T after its strong third-quarter results, according to Truist. The analyst reiterated a $21 price target, implying 25% upside from Thursday's closing price of $16.74. Shares of AT & T have outperformed this year, down nearly 10% compared to the S & P 500's roughly 23% drop. However, they have also underperformed over the past 15 years, with the stock down about 47% over the past 15 years, compared to the S & P 500's gain of nearly 145% over the same time period, according to the note. Still, the analyst expects that AT & T's return to its core business of wireless and wireline connectivity after divesting Warner Media and DirecTV will improve the company.

Netflix claimed the top spot after stronger-than-expected third-quarter results prompted investors to pile back into the stock. Shares of Netflix are up more than 18% this week, but only about 36% of analysts rate the stock a buy, according to FactSet. However, just 30% of analysts have a buy rating on the stock, according to FactSet.
