Anmuth has an overweight rating on the stock and a $240 price target, which implies upside of 20%. The commentary comes on the heels of the e-commerce giant's Amazon Web Services summit in New York, where the company highlighted the ways customers are implementing AI workloads and showcased its rapidly growth AI platform know as Bedrock. He retained a $245 price target on shares and called the stock a top Internet pick. The price target implies 23% upside from Wednesday's close.

☆ Citi names undervalued global AI stocks poised for rerating — two were given 50% upside
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Citi has identified several undervalued global stocks exposed to artificial intelligence that present substantial investment opportunities. AI has driven approximately half the 11% return in the MSCI All Country World Index so far, according to Citi. The picture resembles the S & P 500 , where mega-cap stocks focused on AI have driven much of the rally. While many AI stocks have benefited from both expanding multiples and upward earnings revisions, Citi has identified a subset of 19 stocks that buck this trend. This dual tailwind of improving valuations and fundamentals has not been present in stocks with medium or low AI exposure — such as those in the table above.

☆ Shares of 6 mega-cap companies that run the economy should dominate the stock market
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +13 min

The market is only driven by a handful of massive tech stocks – and therefore, it's built on a weaker foundation than a market advancing on a broader swath of its constituents. Companies don't lose dominance or stock leadership because they were dominant the last time we had a bull market. We trimmed Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Palo Alto Networks , and five other tech stocks at the beginning of the year. Would the market suddenly become more investible if we broke up the Super Six into say 15 different companies and stocks? However, we don't think they are a reason to bail entirely on any of these names.

CNN —A staggering 24 hours that cracked the political foundation of Joe Biden’s reelection bid leave him facing the most high-pressure presidential news conference in modern history on Thursday. The stakes for Biden’s solo appearance at the conclusion of the NATO summit multiplied by the hour as his political position unraveled at a dignity-sapping rate. In another danger sign for Biden’s candidacy, one Democratic strategist told CNN, “Everything is frozen because no one knows what’s going to happen. The deepening crisis gripping the Democratic Party is not simply damaging Biden’s chances of clinging to the nomination. But as Biden’s political standing continues to rapidly deteriorate, the question is becoming how much longer he can insist he’s the only Democrat who can beat Trump.
