Wall Street loves this recent IPO with one analyst calling it the ‘social network trading platform'

Wall Street is extremely bullish on stock trading platform eToro , with analysts estimating the stock could rise between 11% and 24% from here. Israel-based eToro went public on May 15 , with its initial public offering price at $52 per share, above the high end of its proposed range. The stock opened that day at $69.69, or 34% above its IPO, and closed up nearly 29% at $67 per share. Shares surged more than 5% on Monday to hit a fresh 52-week high. The overwhelming positive sentiment from Wall Street has rewarded the company's decision to go public after a lengthy dry spell for IPOs. "We felt that we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of the correction in the markets," CEO Yoni Assia said in an interview with CNBC. Here's what analysts at some of the biggest shops on Wall Street had to say on the IPO. Goldman Sachs initiates coverage at buy rating and 12-month price target of $76 per share Analyst James Yaro's target implies nearly 11% upside from eToro's Friday closing price of $68.70 per share. "We see ETOR as an attractive market share gain story in the fragmented European retail brokerage market, driven by a differentiated offering vs. peers, in terms of: 1) its geographic and product breadth (a pan-European client base that can trade global unlevered and levered equities, currencies, commodities, and crypto); 2) a tech-enabled offering; and 3) CopyTrader, which is both a loss mitigation tool, and a tool to facilitate social trading, which many younger investors want — these combined factors have driven ~5.5pp of share gains since 2019." Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage at buy rating, $78 per share price target Canaccord Genuity's target calls for almost 14% upside going forward. "We view eToro as a clear share gainer in retail trading/investing. We also believe the short to medium term here is ripe with catalysts, including a big push into the US market, and the potential for crypto to move more towards becoming a mainstream asset class." Needham initiates coverage of eToro as a buy, sets price target of $80 per share The investment firm called eToro "the social network trading platform," while its price target is 16% above the stock's Friday closing price. "We believe eToro's strength is in its 'social trading aspect' which is driving higher monetization per funded account. We see an opportunity to grow funded accounts by converting registered users, and through new expansion opportunities in Asia and U.S." Jefferies sets buy rating, $80 per share price target "eToro is well-positioned to benefit from the growing adoption of retail investing globally. With leading retail market share in markets like the EU and UK, combined with a differentiated product offering and distinguished brand, we believe eToro is uniquely positioned to continue to grow its account base organically at +10% y/y." Mizuho initiates coverage at outperform rating and $80 per share price target "With 3.5mn funded accounts across a global footprint of 75 countries, ETOR focuses on disrupting legacy institutions both globally and in the U.S. by providing both investing tools and learning resources. Key medium-term catalysts include: growing retail participation in Europe (~70% of ETOR revenue); Gen Z is beginning to trade earlier in life than prior generations and has an affinity for viral social trading apps like ETOR; a pending, estimated $80tn generational wealth transfer; and opportunity to grow in the U.S. and Asia, where retail trading is popular. ETOR enjoys several key competitive advantages. It has a set of viral features like social trading (use of influences), copy trading (mimics successful investor portfolios), and AI-driven smart portfolios offering retail investors thematic/strategy-based trading." TD Cowen initiates coverage at buy rating, $80 price target "We see ETOR as an attractive play on the global rise of retail and crypto adoption, strong [revenue per user], ad spend [return on investment] + client [margin on client assets] metrics. While low float may make ETOR bumpy, we see favorable catalysts ahead." Cantor Fitzgerald initiates coverage at overweight and price target of $84 per share Analyst Brett Knoblauch's target equates to 22% upside. "We have ETOR trading at 26.5x 2025 P/E, which we believe is a reasonable entry point for a business that we believe can compound earnings at a 15% [compound annual growth rate] over the next two years, with the potential for upside coming from our relatively conservative revenue growth expectations (8.8% CAGR). Combining ETOR's valuation, numerous growth vectors (new markets, greater market share, generational wealth transfer, and new products), we believe risk/reward at current levels to be favorable." Citizens sets market outperform rating and $85 per share price target "The company is scaling its core offerings and exploring new financial services through organic growth and potential M & A. With a compelling valuation and untapped market opportunities, we believe eToro is well-positioned to capture share of the expanding retail investing market." — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed to this report.

Nvidia, AMD, Other Chip Stocks Rise on Hopes China Export Restrictions Could Ease

Semiconductor stocks rose, lifted by optimism that trade discussions Monday between U.S. and China officials could lead to reduced export curbs. White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNBC he expects a deal structured around rare earth minerals and semiconductors. However, Hassett said he doesn't expect the U.S. to lift restrictions on the sale of Nvidia H20 chips in stocks rose Monday as a White House official indicated restrictions on chip exports to China could be lessened as a result of trade talks taking place in London. Officials from Washington and Beijing intended to discuss the release of rare earth minerals to the U.S. and the expansion of Chinese access to American-made semiconductors, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on CNBC. 'I expect it to be a short meeting with a big, strong handshake,' Hassett said. President Donald Trump spoke with China President Xi Jinping on the phone last week. Nvidia (NVDA) shares were recently up about 0.8%, while chipmaking rivals Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel (INTC) added 3.5% and 2.8%, respectively. The PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX) gained more than 2%. (Read Investopedia's full coverage of Monday's trading here.) Hassett said the U.S. does not expect to reduce restrictions on the sale of Nvidia's H20 chip in China, which the Trump administration effectively barred earlier this year. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is also in London for London Tech Week, has called the export curbs a 'failure.'
