Mizuho refreshes Americas Top Picks with five new high-conviction stock ideas

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:00:00 -0400

Investing.com -- Mizuho has added five new names to its Americas Top Picks list for August, highlighting its highest-conviction investment ideas across consumer, healthcare, industrials and real estate as the brokerage looks for company-specific catalysts to drive returns.

The new additions are Life Time Group and Walmart in consumer, Axogen in healthcare, RPM International in industrials, and Phillips Edison & Co. in real estate. Mizuho said these companies replace previous top picks and represent its analysts' highest-conviction ideas rather than a model portfolio.

Bernstein analyzes new competition in India's food delivery market

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 05:27:45 -0400

Investing.com -- Bernstein examined the entry of new players into India's food delivery sector, including Rapido and Flipkart, questioning whether these efforts will expand the market or reduce profit margins across the industry.

Food delivery appears attractive for disruption as Zomato and Swiggy have maintained a stable duopoly for several years. The business currently shows 18-20% year-over-year growth and adjusted EBITDA margins around 5%, the highest globally. Both companies invested $4-5 billion before their IPOs, with their combined food delivery operations now valued at approximately $20 billion. This suggests a Tobin's Q ratio of 4-5 times, which may appeal to potential

UBS Reiterates Buy Rating on Walmart (WMT) on 'Attractive Setup' Into Q2 Earnings

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 09:34:19 -0400

UBS analyst Michael Lasser reiterated a Buy rating and $141.00 price target on Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT).

The analyst commented, "For the first time in several quarters, expectations heading into a Walmart earnings report appear balanced, perhaps even subdued. The market’s bar has moved to roughly a 3.5% comp for WMT U.S., down from 4.1% in 1Q. At the same time, the stock’s valuation has compressed (moving to 36x from 43x following the announcement of its CY4Q’25 EPS), while investor positioning appears materially less crowded than it has been ahead of recent prints. In our view, that combination creates one of the

Walmart dips after Oppenheimer downgrades shares on difficult short-term setup

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 08:29:54 -0400

Investing.com -- Oppenheimer on Tuesday downgraded Walmart shares to Perform from Outperform on Monday and removed its $140 price target, citing a less compelling near-term case for the stock ahead of the retailer’s August 20 earnings report.

The stock fell 1.4% in U.S. premarket trading by 08:22 ET (12:22 GMT).

Analysts led by Rupesh Parikh pointed to three factors behind the move: potential pharmacy-related headwinds to Walmart’s U.S. comparable sales tied to the Inflation Reduction Act, a valuation they view as "peakish" that could be vulnerable to a lower re-rating if comp growth slows, and Wall Street forecasts

Oppenheimer Downgrades Walmart (WMT) to Perform

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 03:38:38 -0400

Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh downgraded Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) from Outperform to Perform.

The analyst comments: “Ahead of earnings on 8/20, we spent time revisiting our investment thesis. Based on our work, we are downgrading shares to Perform from Outperform and removing our $140 PT. We now see a less compelling outperformance case shorter term driven by three primary factors: 1) top-line pharmacy headwinds in the Walmart US business, which we believe could drive a comp shortfall vs. Street forecasts in Q2 and later in the year primarily impacted by the IRA; 2) a peakish valuation that could be more susceptible to
