JPMorgan Reiterates Overweight Rating on $RUN, Says IRA Revisions Manageable and Long-Term Outlook Improving, Maintains PT at $13

Analyst comments: "Earlier this week, we hosted investor meetings with RUN’s CEO, Head of Investor Relations/Deputy CFO, and Head of Project Finance. Unsurprisingly, revisions to IRA incentives in the House reconciliation bill released earlier this week were the primary focus. While RUN believes the bill is less than perfect and would have preferred no reduction to current IRA incentives, the CEO believes the bill is more than workable and expects the final version to closely resemble the current draft.

Additionally, the tariff pause has brought welcome relief to supply chain issues since Liberation Day, and RUN reiterated from last week’s 1Q earnings call that a reduction in the 145% China tariff could push the company toward the high end of its $200–500 million FY25 cash flow guidance. The company remains confident in its market positioning and continues to see strong customer response to the newly released Flex product.

We came away from the meetings and related fieldwork incrementally positive on RUN’s long-term outlook under the proposed IRA revisions. While some uncertainty remains (e.g., tariffs and final IRA resolution), visibility on the multi-year opportunity for RUN is improving."

$GOOGL CEO Sundar Pichai on whether Google is being disrupted by AI:

“One of the first things I did was to think of the company as AI-first... The reason we were excited to approach our work as AI-first is because we really felt that AI is what will drive the biggest progress in search. So it feels very far from a zero-sum construct to me.”

“AI Overviews is now being used by over 1.5 billion users in over 150 countries... We find for queries where we trigger AI overviews, we see query growth and the growth continues over time.”

“To your question about innovator's dilemma — I think the dilemma only exists if you treat it as a dilemma. So for me, all along in technology, you have these massive periods of innovation, and you lean into it as hard as you can. It's the only way to do it.”

“When mobile came, everyone was like, well... you’re not going to have the real estate, how will ads work, all that stuff. Mobile was a transition which ended up working great.”

“To me, you don’t think about it as a dilemma, because you have to innovate to stay ahead.”

“It’s like one of the original principles of Google — follow the user, all else will follow.”

Goldman Sachs Reiterates Buy Rating on $WMT, Says Well Positioned for 2025 Earnings Growth, Maintains PT at $101

Analyst comments: "WMT closed down -0.5% (vs. the S&P 500 at +0.4%) after a 1Q earnings beat and reiteration of 2025 guidance. In our view, while the environment remains uncertain, we were not surprised WMT reiterated full-year guidance given tariffs are lower now than when guidance was reiterated on April 9, 2025. WMT also highlighted offsets such as inventory management and alternative revenue streams to support bottom-line growth, along with managing assortment and pricing.

The stock reaction may partly reflect the lack of 2Q operating income or EPS guidance amid a dynamic macro backdrop shaped by tariffs, which could lead to higher prices and weaker-than-expected elasticity. However, we believe WMT is well positioned to continue driving solid earnings growth in 2025, supported by market share gains due to its compelling value and convenience proposition. Profitability should also improve. We reiterate our Buy rating and $101 price target."
