BofA Upgrades $AMD to Buy from Neutral, Raises PT to $120 from $105; '20%+ topline grower at compelling 18x CY26E PE'

Analyst comments: "AMDโ€™s Q1 beat and strong Q2 sales outlook ($7.4 billion, 10% above our forecast despite a $700 million China headwind) address prior concerns regarding China AI restrictions and Nvidia GPU competition. We find the risk-reward compelling and upgrade AMD to Buy based on: (1) potential to deliver 20%+ topline growth in CY25E and CY26E, even with China headwinds; (2) continued share gains in PC/server CPUs against Intel, which remains in a restructuring phase; (3) achievable AI GPU sales targets of $6.2 billion in CY25E (up 23% YoY, including $1.5 billion from China restrictions), with a 2H acceleration driven by the MI350 launch; (4) EBIT margin expansion potential toward 30% in CY27E from 22% in CY25E; and (5) an attractive valuation at 18x CY26E P/E versus a 27% CY24-27E pro forma EPS CAGR.

While bears may argue that near-term beats stem from consumer PC/gaming or tariff pull-ins, we see the strength as driven by better mix and share gains. We raise our CY25/26/27E pro forma EPS by 4%/6%/11% to $3.80/$5.60/$6.81 and lift our price objective to $120 from $105, applying a slightly higher 21x CY26E P/E multiple (up from 20x), still within AMDโ€™s historical 13x-39x range."

BofA Upgrades $HON to Buy from Neutral, Raises PT to $250 from $210

Analyst comments: "Following solid, beat-and-raise 1Q25 earnings, we upgrade shares of Honeywell to Buy from Neutral and raise our price objective to $250 from $210. Honeywell is one of the most discounted names in our coverage on a terminal growth basis. Shares have underperformed the index over the past two years due to negative earnings revisions and unmet investor expectations. With earnings now appearing to stabilize, we believe the company can begin to close some of the valuation gap relative to peers.

Honeywellโ€™s business mix is more defensive compared to high-quality industrial peers, which is advantageous in the current macro environment. Over the next 12 months, we expect investors to increasingly focus on the benefits of the companyโ€™s breakup and business simplification, which should drive improved valuation. Our $250 price objective is based on a 17x 2026E EV/EBITDA multiple (vs. 14x prior), still at a discount to peers trading at 18x on 2025E, but reflecting progress in narrowing the gap."

BofA Upgrades $WYNN to Buy from Neutral, Raises PT to $100 from $90

Analyst comments: "We are upgrading shares of Wynn Resorts to Buy from Neutral. The key catalyst is the opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island in early 2027, which will be the first major integrated casino resort in the Middle East. We believe this project will increasingly influence investor expectations and underwriting over the next 12โ€“18 months.

While macro uncertainty persists and the UAE opening is still about two years away, Wynnโ€™s recent 20% pullback since October, its 10% free cash flow yield, and the valuation of its core assets help mitigate concerns about China/Macau exposure, which has been our main issue. We expect the UAE development to support a return to growth and diversify Wynnโ€™s portfolio, potentially restoring its premium valuation. Our price objective increases to $100 from $90 as we incorporate UAE value and roll forward to 2026."

Cantor Fitzgerald Downgrades $MRVL to Neutral from Overweight, Lowers PT to $60 from $125; 'we now worry about the lack of stickiness in MRVL's custom silicon business'

Analyst comments: "While we believe the significant decline in Marvell shares since their January peak reflects the loss of Trainium Gen3 at Amazon, we do not think it yet reflects the potential loss of Microsoftโ€™s Maia Gen3, which our industry checks indicate is likely. We had hoped for announcements of new wins at the upcoming Investor Day, but with management delaying the event, we suspect there may be little positive news to share.

Although we continue to expect a strong ramp in CY25/26 from Marvellโ€™s two leading custom silicon customers, we are concerned about a sharp decline into CY27 as sockets shift to competitors. We now question the stickiness of Marvellโ€™s custom silicon business, and believe this may weigh on the segmentโ€™s valuation multiple until more stability is demonstrated. As a result, we downgrade Marvell to Neutral and lower our price target to $60. For AI exposure, we continue to favor NVDA, AVGO, TSM, and MU as top ideas."
