A higher interest rate environment has made fixed income exciting, and Bank of America has a couple of stock plays on the theme. The Federal Reserve's series of 10 rate hikes has boosted yields on Treasurys and money market funds. Bank of America analyst Craig Siegenthaler says fixed income reallocation will continue to be a theme, and that could lift the shares of certain asset managers and brokers. "We believe [ BlackRock and Tradeweb ] are the two best ways to invest in fixed income with both retirees and pension plans raising allocations to traditional fixed income over the next 12 months," he said in a Tuesday report. He added investors should "expect sizable flows into fixed income, money markets and private credit over the next 12 months and look for bond trading volumes to increase."

DETROIT – Wall Street is skeptical of General Motors' plans to produce profitable electric vehicles years ahead of schedule and substantially bring down battery costs amid supply chain problems and broader economic concerns. GM's average rating is overweight with a 12-month target price of $47.77 per share, according to analysts compiled by FactSet. That would be years ahead of schedule and mean a dramatic decline in the automaker's battery costs amid supply chain problems, cyclical demand concerns and potential shortages in raw materials. It boosted its cash flow guidance to between $10 billion and $11 billion, up from $7 billion and $9 billion. Here are comments from other analysts as well as their ratings and price targets for GM following the investor event.
Deutsche began coverage Monday of a pair of satellite imagery ventures, saying the space stocks have potential for "growth similar to software companies." The firm issued buy ratings for Planet and BlackSky , with Deutsche analyst Edison Yu noting that both companies are "generating substantial revenue now." Deutsche has a $7 price target on the stock, representing a 32% climb from current levels. Deutsche noted that "BlackSky has been more inconsistent operationally," but the company's software and "lucrative" government contracts "ultimately make it an attractive strategic target given the current depressed valuation." Deutsche has a $3 price target on BlackSky shares, essentially double their current trading level – with the stock down 63% this year.

Bank of America has a $12 price target on Rocket Lab's stock, which is 132% above the current share price. Rocket Lab stock is down 58% so far this year. Bank of America has a $700 price target on Northrop Grumman's stock, or 34% above the current share price.
