Morgan Stanley initiates Dutch Bros Inc. as overweight

Morgan Stanley says it’s bullish on the coffee chain.

“A well-liked brand in a favored category, rapidly growing to be a national player. After a bit of a ride post ’21 IPO, BROS under newer mgmt is hitting its stride on development and comps, with a positive medium-term outlook, in our view, that should help the stock continue to work.”

Melius upgrades Boeing to buy from neutral

Melius says Boeing is “is entering a period of positive newsflow that can drive the stock higher.

Goldman says the risk/reward is “unattractive” for the AI chip company.

“SMCI stock is up 38% year-to-date, making it the best performing stock in our Hardware coverage; with the stock trading at 16X F2025E P/E, we view risk-reward as unfavorable given downside risks on valuation, competition, and gross margins.”

Barclays reiterates Walt Disney as overweight

The firm says Disney cruises are a key growth driver for the stock.

Wells Fargo reiterates JPMorgan Chase as overweight

Wells says the banking giant is well positioned for share gains.

“Short term, JPM should benefit from volatility given its role as market facilitator, likely helping trading—our EPS ests. are above consensus. Medium term, JPM should benefit among the most from deregulation. Long term, tech spend at 50% more than the next largest bank should allow for more mkt shr gains.”

Morgan Stanley reiterates Apple as overweight

The firm said its checks show Apple is ramping up iPhone builds ahead of any tariffs

“While we highlighted increased iPhone assembly visibility and China’s national electronics subsidies as two potential upside risks to C1Q25 iPhone builds last month, we believe the increase to iPhone builds this month reflects Apple pulling forward iPhone production to mitigate the impact of US/China tariffs, and therefore we don’t make any adjustment to our March quarter iPhone build forecast.”

Morgan Stanley reiterates Eli Lilly as overweight

Morgan Stanley says the stock remains well positioned in the diabesity space ahead of earnings on May 1.

JPMorgan reiterates Netflix as overweight

Jefferies upgrades FedEx to buy from hold

Bank of America downgrades Lockheed Martin to neutral from buy

The firm says it’s concerned about the ” recent quality of earnings.”

“While it is our expectation that defense budgets will rise, we remain wary of Lockheed Martin’s recent quality of earnings, the loss of all 6th Gen manned tactical aircraft programs and lack of company-specific catalysts in the near-term. As a result, we are downgrading Lockheed Martin to a Neutral (from a Buy).
