Select cheap names could be poised to jump in a postelection market, according to Jefferies. Indeed, after the 2016 and 2020 election, names with the cheapest valuations eventually performed well, while momentum plays lagged, Jefferies equity strategist Steven DeSanctis noted. "The cheapest names have lagged in November, since June 30th, and really since the start of the year. Here are a few of the names Jefferies turned up. Jefferies' $26 price target on the stock suggests nearly 7% potential upside for Carnival shares from its latest close.

A number of catalysts could drive gains for Teladoc Health in the coming months, according to Goldman Sachs. Analyst David Roman initiated coverage on the name with a buy rating, and his price target of $14 implies 56.3% upside from Thursday's close. Looking ahead to next year, he anticipates that the virtual health care company's results will be driven by slightly better-than-expected top-line growth in its Integrated Care segment. But that didn't quite come to fruition as the pandemic eased with patients returning to in-person visits and larger health care players developing their own telehealth solutions. Among the 27 analysts covering it, only six in total have a strong buy or buy rating.

Memecoins have seen some of the biggest gains in the postelection crypto rally, but market leadership could soon flip to more "serious" tokens. "We don't expect the rally to resemble the '17 or '21 bull markets and would fade the rally for 99% of tokens in circulation with no intrinsic value," Shah said in a note this week. "We expect token prices to diverge in the near term as BTC and cash flow-generating tokens that power networks outperform meme tokens." "These tokens power blockchain operating systems, similar to Microsoft Windows, that enable developers to build applications like decentralized exchanges and Web3 platforms on top of them, creating networks with value." Avalanche's AVAX token has gained 36%, and the tokens tied to Uniswap and Polygon have gained 23% and 25%, respectively.

Tesla, the world’s largest maker of EVs, is the only automaker making a profit on its US EV sales. So if the EV tax credit goes away, the price of all EVs might come down. ‘It will only help Tesla’Musk signaled during the campaign that he would support ending the EV tax credit, even if raised the cost of Tesla purchases for American buyers. But the rest of the auto industry wants to keep the tax credit in place. He said that Tesla’s pricing and scale in the EV space “is an apples to oranges when compared to the rest of the auto industry once the EV tax credit disappears.”

Revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter totaled $22.57 billion, topping the $22.45 billion expected by analysts, according to estimates compiled by LSEG.

That implies free cash flow of about $7 billion vs. $8.1 billion expected. In entertainment, the team forecasts double digit percentage growth in operating income, with 10% operating margin in its streaming businesses.

"A Kamala presidency would have meant the same exact things for crypto and digital assets in four years' time as a Trump presidency," Brokate says. Part of crypto's upward price momentum stems from investor optimism in what a Republican-controlled government could mean for digital assets, Brokate says. But forward-looking investors say that the current market for crypto is barely scratching the surface of potential investor demand. That is, crypto advocates say, if the U.S. government provides a clearer regulatory framework for financial institutions to market and sell crypto and other digital assets to customers. Ideally, crypto enthusiasts say, the U.S. would eventually establish regulatory frameworks similar to the one that exists in Europe known as MiCA — Markets in Crypto Assets.
