Rocket Lab: Neutron Setback, Now An Opportunistic Rating Upgrade To Buy Summary Rocket Lab is upgraded to buy, following a sharp price retreat and opportunistic entry point ahead of Q4 earnings. Neutron rocket schedule setbacks persist, with the first launch now likely delayed to late 2026 or early 2027, raising execution risk. Valuation now shows around 3% upside for 2030, with shares still overvalued on near-term earnings but supported by long-term growth positioning. Risks remain for further Neutron delays and cost overruns, but current downside appears limited relative to earlier dilution concerns. Looking for a helping hand in the market?

UBS initiates “buy” on Sixt SE, sees margins, U.S. market gains driving upside Investing.com -- UBS has initiated coverage of Sixt SE (ETR:SIXG) with a “buy” rating, citing stronger cost efficiency, improved fleet management and realistic prospects for U.S. market share gains. Shares of the Pullach-headquartered company were up 4% at 04:24 ET (08:24 GMT). The German car rental company, which operates in Europe and North America, reported €4.0 billion in revenue in 2024. UBS projects sales to rise to €4.3 billion in 2025 and €5.5 billion by 2029, representing a 7% compound annual growth rate. Net earnings are forecast to grow from €244 million in 2024 to €325 million in 2025 and €515 million in 2029. Diluted earnings per share are expected to increase from €5.20 in 2024 to €6.93 in 2025 and €10.97 by 2029. UBS analysts said margin recovery is being driven by internal factors. “The margin recovery story is driven by fleet management, instead of the external pricing environment,” the note said. The brokerage expects EBT margins of 11-13% between 2025 and 2027, compared with company guidance of about 10% for 2025 and consensus of 10.2%. The EBIT margin is projected to rise from 12.1% in 2024 to 13.9% in 2025 and 15.7% in 2027. UBS estimates that rental depreciation tailwinds from a refreshed fleet will add 130-250 basis points to margins. Depreciation per unit per month fell below €300 in the second quarter, a trend analysts said supports long-term profitability. “We believe Sixt is now very well positioned to navigate residual value uncertainties regardless of the used car pricing environment,” they said. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Regional growth is expected to remain uneven. Revenues from Germany, which account for about 30% of the total, are forecast to grow 1-2% annually, while the rest of Europe, representing roughly 40%, is projected to grow 10% annually on strong inbound demand. In North America, which makes up about 30% of sales, revenue is forecast to expand at an 8% annual pace as market share rises from 3% to 5% by 2029. UBS noted that Sixt operates fewer than 10% of the stations of its larger U.S. rivals but generates revenue per station above €10 million annually. Dividend payouts are projected to recover alongside earnings. The dividend per share is expected to rise from €2.70 in 2024 to €3.81 in 2025 and €6.03 in 2029, with a consistent payout ratio of 55%. The dividend yield is forecast to climb from 3.5% in 2024 to 7.4% in 2029. Valuation metrics indicate upside potential. Shares closed at €81.05 on Sept. 3, giving the company a market capitalization of €3.40 billion. UBS set a 12-month price target of €102, saying the stock is trading at 13 times consensus 2025 earnings, at the low end of its historical range of 12x to 19x. The brokerage said, “a re-rating toward the historical average of 16x is likely as margin expansion materialises and gets recognised.” UBS flagged risks including macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical tensions, trade policies, residual value fluctuations and aggressive fleet expansion by competitors. 3rd party Ad.

Olaplex stock jumps after receiving first buy rating from Wall Street Investing.com -- Olaplex Holdings (NASDAQ:OLPX) stock surged 12% Monday after receiving its first buy rating from Wall Street analysts, marking a potential turning point for the prestige beauty brand. Canaccord Genuity analyst Susan Anderson upgraded Olaplex from Hold to Buy and raised her price target to $2.00 from $1.50, representing a 43% upside from Friday’s closing price of $1.40. This makes Anderson the sole bullish voice among approximately nine firms covering the stock. In her upgrade note, Anderson cited a "brand reinvigoration" at Olaplex, suggesting the company is "ready to shine as a highly profitable prestige beauty brand set to return to growth." She highlighted the company’s journey since its IPO, which saw sales initially grow at triple-digit rates to over $700 million annualized before normalizing to its current $400+ million run rate. The analyst noted that after 2.5 years of normalization, Olaplex is finally seeing sales and margins stabilize. The company reported sales growth in the second quarter and could potentially return to positive annual growth in fiscal year 2025. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA margins are settling at industry-standard low-20% rates, down from previous levels exceeding 60%. Olaplex’s stock movement reflects growing confidence that investments in marketing, merchandising, and innovation are beginning to yield results for the hair care brand.

Why Stifel says buy this quantum computing stock Investing.com -- Stifel initiated coverage of D-Wave Quantum Inc. with a Buy rating and a $26 target price in a note this week, citing the company’s leadership in quantum annealing and growing commercial traction. “We view QBTS as a pioneering quantum computing company and the first to deliver commercial quantum annealing systems,” Stifel wrote. Founded in 1999, D-Wave has built a broad customer base and achieved a key milestone earlier this year by selling its first quantum annealing system to the Julich Supercomputing Centre in Germany. Stifel sees this as an indication of strong commercial viability. Following a recent equity raise, D-Wave exited the first quarter of 2025 with $304 million in cash. According to Stifel, management has indicated that “the company is funded sufficiently to reach profitability.” Looking ahead, Stifel is optimistic about industry growth. “Using various industry forecasts, we believe that the quantum computing market is on track to grow into a $10 billion market by 2030,” the analysts wrote. With a base case assumption of 15% market share for D-Wave, they derive a $26 price target based on a 5x price-to-sales multiple on longer-term revenue assumptions. Stifel’s bullish stance is underpinned by D-Wave’s commercial momentum, strong cash position, and differentiated technology. The firm believes the company is well-positioned to capture a significant portion of what it views as a rapidly expanding market. Don't miss out on the next big opportunity!

Citi initiates Celsius at Buy on category growth, global expansion potential Investing.com -- Citi initiated coverage of Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:CELH) with a Buy rating and a $55 price target given strong near-term momentum in the U.S. energy drink market and long-term international growth opportunities. Citi expects Celsius to benefit from accelerating sales in 2025, helped by both its core Celsius brand and the recently acquired Alani Nu, which is expanding distribution and product innovation. The firm projects second-quarter sales growth of 66.4%, ahead of the 60.7% consensus, and full-year 2025 growth of 63.8%. In the longer term, Citi sees room for substantial distribution gains. The company’s total distribution points (TDPs) remain significantly below those of Monster and Red Bull, offering room for domestic share gains. Internationally, Celsius derives just 5% of its revenue from outside the U.S., compared with roughly 40% for Monster, suggesting meaningful white space. Citi forecasts 12% annual topline growth through 2030, including 25% growth internationally, and sees 25% annual EPS growth over the same period, supported in part by cost synergies from the Alani Nu deal. While acknowledging concerns around valuation, Celsius trades at about 36 times 2026 earnings—Citi argues the stock looks more reasonable on a growth-adjusted basis, with a PEG ratio of 1.2 versus peer averages near 2.6. Risks noted include potential volatility between scanner data and reported results, innovation-driven growth that may be harder to sustain, overlap between the Celsius and Alani brands, and already-positive investor sentiment. Still, Citi believes distribution expansion and brand differentiation can offset those concerns.

Deutsche Bank starts Cinemark at Buy as it sees box office recovery driving cash Investing.com -- Deutsche Bank initiated coverage of Cinemark with a Buy rating and a $36 price target, citing an expanding film slate and industry normalization that should support a sustained box office recovery and stronger free cash flow. The firm sees roughly 25% upside from current levels and views Cinemark as well-positioned due to its U.S. and Latin American footprint and modern theater circuit. While the sector’s recovery from the pandemic had been progressing, the Hollywood strikes disrupted momentum through early 2025, particularly with fewer major studio releases. Deutsche Bank said second-quarter box office trends suggest a turning point, with results matching 2023 levels despite a lighter release calendar. The firm expects a fuller recovery to take hold in the second half of 2025 and into 2026 as studios ramp production and new distributors, including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) MGM and A24, boost theatrical output. Amazon MGM alone is expected to add 14–16 theatrical releases per year by 2027, potentially restoring the number of wide releases to pre-pandemic levels. That increase, coupled with Cinemark’s operating leverage and market positioning, should drive double-digit free cash flow growth and stronger shareholder returns, according to the note. Cinemark shares have lagged the broader market in recent years but could benefit from a more stable industry backdrop and a larger, more consistent film pipeline, Deutsche Bank said.

BofA reinstates Estee Lauder with Buy, sees 30% upside as Asia headwinds ease Investing.com -- Bank of America reinstated coverage of Estee Lauder (NYSE:EL) with a Buy rating and $110 price target, given signs of recovery in Asia and renewed confidence in the company’s restructuring plan. The target implies roughly a 30% upside. Estee Lauder, the world’s second-largest player in the $160 billion global prestige beauty market, has seen its earnings fall sharply in recent years, with EPS down 80% from its peak. Much of the drag has come from China and travel retail in Asia, which together account for a significant share of revenue. BofA said it believes the worst may be over. Demand in China has picked up in the past two quarters and discounting trends are becoming more rational, particularly during major shopping events. The firm expects further improvement in the current quarter and a return to growth in Hainan duty-free sales by fiscal 2026, though it remains cautious on Korea due to ongoing wholesale exits. The bank is backing the company’s “Beauty Reimagined” plan, which aims to revive sales and restore double-digit operating margins. BofA forecasts 4% annual revenue growth and 430 basis points of margin expansion by FY27, putting its earnings estimates about 10% above consensus. Key elements of the strategy include faster product launches, greater focus on high-growth retail channels, and a 10% workforce reduction aimed at generating up to $1 billion in gross savings. Management plans to reinvest those savings into brand and advertising spend. Estee Lauder currently trades at a steep discount to global beauty peers, and BofA believes improved execution and signs of market recovery could support a re-rating.

BofA says telecom stocks are under-owned, reinstates AT&T at Buy Investing.com -- Bank of America reinstated coverage of the U.S. telecom sector, rating AT&T (NYSE:T) at Buy while assigning Neutral ratings to T-Mobile and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) in a note Monday. The firm argues the industry is evolving and underappreciated, despite diverging strategies among the major players. “Telecom stocks are under-owned by institutional investors and overlooked as being in a sleepy, mature industry,” BofA said. Yet they note that since 2023, AT&T delivered a total return of 84%, compared to 53% for TMUS and 27% for VZ, which trailed the S&P 500 by 800 basis points. BofA believes company-specific dynamics now outweigh macro or sector-wide trends, and AT&T is best positioned. “AT&T has the greatest flexibility to both compete effectively and return capital, which we view as the best opportunity for driving stock performance.” The firm expects AT&T to deliver “the highest projected return of capital (dividends + buybacks) in 2026 at 7.2% of market cap.” On Verizon, BofA stated that its acquisition of Frontier brings “execution uncertainty” and could weigh on free cash flow. For T-Mobile, the firm sees limited room for upward estimate revisions: “T-Mobile’s focus on net addition targets, coupled with a premium valuation, leaves less room for positive estimate revisions and multiple expansion.” BofA also cited competitive risks as broadband providers expand and cable companies step up their push into wireless. “Territorial integrity is being tested, and competitive intensity is increasing,” analysts wrote. As a result, “we see less opportunity for price increases prevalent in 2024 to drive growth in the PxQ equation.”

Jefferies upgrades Disney to “buy,” raises price target to $144 Investing.com -- Jefferies in a note dated Monday has upgraded its rating on The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) to “buy” from “hold” and raised its price target to $144 from $100, citing stronger confidence in Disney’s earnings growth outlook and a more favorable setup across key business segments. The revised target price represents a 19% upside from Disney’s prior closing price of $121.46 and is based on a 20x multiple of the brokerage’s projected FY27 adjusted earnings per share of $7.20. Jefferies analysts stated that while Disney’s operating income had stagnated from 2016 through 2024, several structural improvements now support renewed growth. These include margin expansion in its direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment, improving trends in its parks and cruise business, and a promising content and sports slate. In particular, Jefferies flagged a reduced risk of a slowdown in the company’s Parks segment in the second half of 2025, a concern that had been tied to macroeconomic factors and competition from Universal’s Epic Universe. Updated data on Disney World bookings showed forward growth of +4% in fiscal third quarter and +7% in fiscal fourth quarter, which supported management’s earlier commentary and reduced the firm’s caution on this issue. Jefferies estimates that the launch of two new cruise ships in fiscal 2026-Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure-will contribute over $1 billion in additional revenue annually. The analysis assumes high occupancy rates and uses Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH) as a comparable benchmark. Based on these projections, the cruise business could account for roughly 30% of the expected growth in operating income within the Experiences segment in FY26. The brokerage also expects DTC to shift from being a drag on operating income in recent years to becoming a major contributor. Jefferies estimates DTC margins will grow from just 0.6% in FY24 to more than 13% by FY28, driven by bundling strategies, stronger content offerings, and increased ad revenue, helped by partnerships with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and other digital platforms. Disney+ web traffic has grown by over 40% each of the past three months year-over-year. The content pipeline was another point of optimism, with upcoming releases such as Zootopia 2, Avatar 3, and the ESPN standalone streaming launch expected to boost both user engagement and advertising revenue. Jefferies expects these efforts to lead to an adjusted earnings growth of 11% in FY27.
