Bank of America has upgraded wind energy giant Ørsted from "neutral" to "buy" citing an improved risk-reward profile for the battered stock. However, Bank of America analysts expect Orsted's fortunes to improve in 2024 and have raised their price target from $15.06 per share to $22.80, representing nearly 20% upside from current levels. The upgrade and price target boost come after the stock has already staged a more-than-50% recovery from its November lows. Its remaining U.S. exposure consists primarily of the Sunrise Wind project off Long Island, which still needs state contract approval, according to the bank. Even if Sunrise Wind falls through, the analysts believe the downside to Ørsted shares would be manageable.

☆ IMF warns AI to hit almost 40% of jobs worldwide and worsen overall inequality
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Sam Meredith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The IMF noted that about 60% of jobs could be impacted by AI in high-income nations, and roughly half of these may benefit from AI integration to boost productivity. Comparatively, AI exposure was estimated to come in at 40% in emerging markets and at 26% in low-income countries, respectively. The findings suggest that emerging markets and low-income countries face fewer disruptions from AI in the short-term. The IMF also flagged that AI could affect income and wealth inequality within countries, warning of "polarization within income brackets." The IMF report comes as business and political leaders from around the world gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Apple suppliers' shares have come under pressure over forecasts for weak demand from the iPhone maker this year. That follows Apple's shares falling 3.6% on Tuesday after Barclays downgraded Apple's stock to a sell-equivalent rating. The table below lists the Apple suppliers whose shares trade highly correlated to Apple's own, according to data from FactSet. That means those stocks win when Apple shares rise and lose when the iPhone maker falls. Conversely, a correlation of -1 would indicate that when the supplier's stock rises, Apple's shares fall by the same proportion.
