L/S Equity HFs that got beat up the past two weeks with their short Software + long Semis trade are swinging back again this morning. Really trying to press the issue pre-mkt. 😳
$SPCX - SPACEX COULD SOAR 440%, SAYS RAYMOND JAMES
Raymond James launched SpaceX coverage with a Strong Buy rating and a Street-high $800 target, implying 440% upside.
The bullish outlook is driven by Starship, Starlink, and SpaceX’s potential as a global infrastructure giant.
However, skeptics question its valuation, while investors await the company’s first public earnings report for clearer financial evidence.
I know we are only halfway through the year, but I feel it will be hard to top this comment from one of the obligatory buy recommendations on $SPCX issued by one of the underwriters this week. It is truly glorious.
The only thing that truly matters for this admin is force-feeding stock ownership down ppl's throats.
Anything to create a marginal bid for the boomer generation to cash out and leave the next generations holding the bag...

ROBINHOOD CEO: AI AGENTS TO RIVAL HUMAN TRADERS

$META - META: AI UPSIDE KEEPS BUY CASE STRONG
BofA reaffirmed its Buy rating on Meta with an $835 price target.
The firm sees further upside from stronger AI models, MTIA chip progress, and new AI monetization opportunities. Better-than-expected Q2 results could reinforce AI-driven ad growth, while greater clarity on AI infrastructure value may support a higher valuation. Meta still trades below its recent peak multiple, leaving room for upside.
