MORE POSITIVE ON PETCO OUTLOOK: Credit Suisse analyst Lavesh Hemnani upgraded Petco ($WOOF) to Outperform from Neutral with a $28 price target. Following recent results, Hemnani came away more positive on the outlook for the business, and feels the company is well-positioned to benefit over the long term, supported by its differentiated offering, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Petco offers exposure to a relatively healthy category with secular drivers in growing spend per pet household, which should enable the industry to grow faster than pre-pandemic levels, Hemnani adds.MOSAIC, CF UPPED TO BUY: HSBC analyst Santhosh Seshadri upgraded Mosaic ($MOS) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $39, up from $37. The analyst believes supply disruptions, higher feedstock costs and low inventories are the catalysts that could support strong fertilizer prices through Q1 of 2022. Several major nitrogen plants are under outages that extend through the second half of 2021, and supply issues are further compounded by an "unprecedented rise" in European gas costs and potential trade disruptions like suspension of Chinese exports, says the analyst. Seshadri believes "stronger fertilizer prices are here to stay with solid fundamentals." Seshadri also upgraded CF Industries ($CF) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $59.50, up from $57, citing a similar rationale on strong fertilizer prices.DELL ADDED TO TACTICAL OUTPERFORM LIST: Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani added Dell Technologies ($DELL) to the firm's Tactical Outperform List ahead of the company's July quarter earnings report due next Thursday, August 26, as he expects the company to report "notable upside" to consensus estimates. Current Street models reflect sub-seasonal quarter-over-quarter growth, but Daryanani sees room for upside given the better execution across PCs and Storage end-markets as well as data from IDC that shows that the PC market continues to be strong, he tells investors. He maintains an Outperform rating and $110 price target on Dell shares.MICROSOFT PRICE TARGETS RAISED: Mizuho analyst Gregg Moskowitz raised the firm's price target on Microsoft ($MSFT) to $350 from $325 and reiterates a Buy rating on the shares. The company yesterday "surprisingly announced" a first-ever price increase for its Microsoft 365 and Office 365 commercial product suites, Moskowitz tells investors in a research note. While it will take time to filter through the model, these actions will have a significant financial impact in fiscal 2023 and beyond, says the analyst. Moskowitz maintains the view that Microsoft's "growth opportunities over the medium-term and beyond are greater than many realize."Also, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives raised the firm's price target on Microsoft to $350 from $325 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm's recent mid-quarter September checks for Microsoft have shown incremental strength again as the Azure cloud growth story is hitting its next gear of growth, Ives tells investors in a research note. The analyst also believes that the Office 365 price increase for 2022 was a smart move that could be another $5B+ incremental tailwind for Microsoft in 2022. UBS analyst Karl Keirstead raised the firm's price target on Microsoft to $350 from $325 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst says the company's commercial price increase for Microsoft 365 as announced yesterday is the biggest in 10 years, improving his confidence in Microsoft's FY23/24 growth outlook.TESLA BOT A 'HEAD SCRATCHER': Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives tells investors in a research note that Tesla ($TSLA) on Thursday held its much anticipated AI Day, during which the company unveiled a computer chip designed and built in-house that will run using its supercomputer Dojo. However, Ives, who made no change to his Outperform rating or $1,000 price target, views the introduction of the Tesla Bot as an "absolute head scratcher" at a time there is increasing concern around rising EV competition and safety issues for Tesla.Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan tells investors in a research note that the surprise reveal of Tesla's human-shaped robot is "exciting," but feels a 2022 launch seems optimistic given the years of development for similar tech at Boston Dynamics. Langan says the Bot reveal excitement will likely provide a near-term boost to shares, but expects the ramp of the Austin and Berlin plants, the NHTSA Autopilot investigation, and possible U.S. EV credits to be more relevant mid-term drivers. The analyst made no change to his Equal Weight rating or $660 price target.Disclosure: I may trade in the ticker symbols mentioned, both long or short.
