Analyst Updates

Energy and Utilities sectors lead the charge with numerous strong buy ratings on Tuesday, August 20, including large-cap names like CEG, NEE, and VST, alongside several oil & gas companies. Biotech also sees significant analyst conviction with multiple strong buys across Tuesday, August 20, and Friday, August 15. Average target upsides suggest continued momentum in these favored sectors. However, a notable downgrade of semiconductor giant AMAT to strong sell on Friday, August 15, signals caution in the semiconductor equipment space.
