Here are Monday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:

‍

Broadcom Maintains Positive Outlook at Jefferies
Jefferies reaffirmed its bullish stance on Broadcom, keeping the stock at a "buy" rating while increasing its price target from $300 to $315 per share. The firm emphasized Broadcom’s dominant role in the infrastructure semiconductor and software markets, underlining the company’s continued leadership in these sectors.

‍

Apple Faces Headwinds, MoffettNathanson Stays Bearish
MoffettNathanson maintained its “sell” rating on Apple, anticipating a tough earnings season as July wraps up.

However, they noted that the market has not yet factored in either of these adjustments.

‍

Oracle Upgraded by Stifel Due to Cloud Momentum
Stifel raised its rating on Oracle to “buy” from “hold,” citing accelerating demand in its cloud business. The analysts acknowledged Oracle's continued success in capitalizing on infrastructure growth. However, they also issued a cautionary note about the company’s need for heavy capital investment to maintain this momentum, which could weigh on free cash flow.

Nvidia Remains Top Pick at Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley reiterated its “overweight” rating on Nvidia, describing it as the firm’s top recommendation in the semiconductor space. The analysts expressed optimism about Nvidia’s position, suggesting that both supply and demand are outpacing expectations despite mixed industry commentary, especially from Taiwanese sources.

‍

Consolidated Edison Gets Upgrade from Mizuho
Mizuho upgraded utility provider Consolidated Edison to “outperform” from “neutral.” The analysts view the recent stock decline as a strong buying opportunity, noting the company is trading at a rare 2% price-to-earnings discount despite being considered a premium utility provider.

‍

Cantor Fitzgerald Backs SailPoint Technologies

The identity access software company, which went public in February, was praised for its leadership in the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) space.

‍

Jefferies Turns Bullish on Disney
Jefferies upgraded its rating on Disney to “buy” from “hold,” citing four major catalysts that could boost the stock. These include limited downside risk in the theme park division during the second half of 2025, optimism surrounding a $1 billion-plus revenue boost from the cruise business in fiscal 2026, and continued margin expansion in the direct-to-consumer segment.

‍

Tesla Still Outperforming Despite Challenges, Says William Blair
William Blair reiterated its “outperform” rating on Tesla, though it acknowledged that the company may face some volatility in the near term. The firm’s analysis suggests that much of Tesla’s current valuation hinges on the future success of its robotaxi initiative. While confident in Tesla’s focus on vision-based neural networks, the analysts cautioned investors to be prepared for setbacks along the way and to approach such dips strategically.

‍

Deutsche Bank Sees Upside for Honeywell
Deutsche Bank added a “catalyst call buy” on Honeywell, indicating that the stock may be due for a re-evaluation by investors.

‍

Citi Upgrades Linde Amid Improving Fundamentals
Citi upgraded industrial gas giant Linde to “buy” from “neutral,” pointing to multiple reasons for its improved outlook. Despite ongoing macroeconomic and tariff-related challenges, the firm highlighted strong operational performance, an impressive project backlog with short-term returns, and its potential to benefit from a rebound in the industrial sector.
