Analyst Alex Henderson reiterated his buy rating for the cybersecurity firm but lowered his price target to $375 from $425. JPMorgan analyst Kenneth Worthington attributed a higher assumption for total crypto market cap as one reason for his price target raise. "We see the cryptoecosystem in the midst of a material participation rally, benefitting Coinbase revenue generation near term," the analyst wrote. Analyst Eric Joseph's December 2025 price target of $8 implies a 51% decline ahead for the stock. He also maintained his $725 price target, which implies upside of 15.6% from Monday's close.

In his Sunday column , Jim Cramer wrote that these earnings reports will test that rotation narrative. Another way to help "take the sting away" is management teams providing a rationale behind the spending, Jim also wrote Sunday. Alphabet's second-quarter capex of $13.2 billion was up 91% year over year and higher sequentially from $12 billion in the first quarter. Alphabet's full-year capex spending is expected to total nearly $50 billion, according to estimates compiled by FactSet. Investors fretting about AI spending is not entirely new.

That will be the case in this jam-packed week , with the earnings from Microsoft on Tuesday, Meta Platforms on Wednesday, and Apple and Amazon on Thursday. If Alphabet said it cut back on data-center spending, then it would be alleged the company is falling behind Amazon and Microsoft in the AI race. The company also is now dogged by another competitor in search engines after ChatGPT creator OpenAI announced a prototype of SearchGPT . Apple reports on Thursday, and if you think the cloud-computing heavyweights are spending on too much AI, then you should be buying Apple.

"I think for the month of August small caps can do something more than 15% even, because they underperformed so dramatically.

Against this backdrop, Wolfe Research searched for stocks with a high free cash flow yield — that is, a comparison of a company's free cash flow to its market capitalization. Free cash flow refers to the amount of cash leftover after a company has paid its expenses. A higher free cash flow yield means the company is generating more cash, which it can then reinvest back into its business for further growth. With an estimated 2024 free cash flow yield of 5%, Lockheed Martin also made the list. IBM has an estimated 2024 free cash flow yield of 6%.

Bank of America's Savita Subramanian said investors are neglecting this one corner of the market with upside potential: "old school capex." Subramanian anticipates stocks can still go higher from here, on balance. Instead of big-cap tech, the strategist favors what she calls "old school capex," stocks that have yet to price in any gains from artificial intelligence, as well as from the nearshoring trend. "Our view is that there is probably more upside elsewhere in the market, which is why we like old school capex, and we don't think that's getting a lot of attention," Subramanian said. So, that's where we really see the strength in the market," Subramanian added.

The S & P 500 may be due for a pullback, but some individual names could be relative outperformers, according to BTIG. Last week, the S & P 500 dropped nearly 2% in its worst week since April as investors rotated out of megacap tech leaders and into smaller names. Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at BTIG, said in a Monday note that those choppy moves could continue from here. If we look at the calendar right now, that makes the most sense to us with a huge week on the macro and micro front next week," Krinsky wrote. "We think a consolidation this week in the 5450-5600 range is likely before the next meaningful move occurs," he said.
