This metaverse leader is primed for even more gains going forward, Bank of America says
Roblox has "structural advantages" that can drive the stock higher, according to Bank of America. The bank upped its price target on the online game platform to $103 per share from $86 and reiterated its buy rating. BofA's forecast calls for roughly 13% upside from Wednesday's close. "We expect to see talent and capital flow into the RBLX ecosystem faster than mobile app & console games for the foreseeable future," analyst Omar Dessouky wrote in a Wednesday note. "The string of strong results and share price rally appears to have catalyzed interest among new long-term oriented growth investors." RBLX YTD mountain Roblox stock in 2025. Dessouky highlighted the company's efforts within the metaverse, which he said could be a significant growth driver as adoption of the company's platform expands. "RBLX is the 'Metaverse' category leader," Dessouky said. "We see an extended runway for mid-20% growth as users worldwide adopt Roblox's Metaverse, in a virtuous cycle that will draw developers, brands, and merchants to the platform." "Roblox is not saddled with legacy media businesses that require transition to a Metaverse, and can thus allocate 100% of its resources toward maintaining Metaverse product leadership," the analyst added. "Rapid productization of innovations could result in consistent upside to growth estimates." Shares have surged more than 57% in 2025. Most analysts covering Roblox have a buy or strong buy rating, according to LSEG. However, the average price target implies downside of more than 18%.

What's next for Fannie and Freddie under Trump administration?
-- Bank of America analysts say President Trump's recent remarks about Fannie Mae (OTC:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTC:FMCC) signal a shift in housing policy direction under a potential second term, but near-term reform remains unlikely. According to BofA, Trump's Truth Social posts suggest 'recap and keep,' in contrast to the post-GFC push for 'recap and release.' Policy experts at BofA's 2025 Housing Symposium noted that 'high mortgage rates, timing (ahead of midterms), and complications (particularly with monetizing the government's $300+bn liquidation preference) all make this an improbable near-term event.' Both GSEs still fall 'materially short (~$135bn combined) of the capital requirements' under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (PSPAs), though panelists argued those targets 'have long been regarded as too strict' and could change, according to the bank. Analysts said the GSEs 'take on much less risk now' than they did pre-GFC, and are capitalized at about 2.15%, a significant improvement over 'capital ratios of roughly 45bps pre-GFC.' The symposium is said to have highlighted optimism surrounding FHFA director Bill Pulte's leadership. Though panelists acknowledged his 'lack of experience could stifle his intentions,' they viewed his 'private-equity style' management approach as focused on 'reducing bureaucracy, improving operational efficiencies and working to turn profitable.' Panelists are even said to have suggested the GSEs' footprint could expand to include more 'high margin business… historically thought to be 'mission creep' (e.g. second liens, second homes).' Elsewhere, alternative credit scoring has resurfaced, but adoption remains doubtful. 'Meaningful adoption of Vantage score for mortgage underwriting seems unlikely,' BofA wrote, citing 'lack of robust historical data.'

Yield Hunters Fuel a $331 Billion Wave of Emerging Bond Sales
(Bloomberg) -- Strong demand from yield-hungry investors is driving a surge in developing-world bond sales as borrowers race to secure financing ahead of any further wobbles in global markets. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. Since the beginning of the year, emerging-market governments and companies have sold $331 billion in debt denominated in hard currencies like the dollar and euro, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That is the fastest pace in four years and already surpasses the total in the first half of 2024. Investors have fueled a broad rally in international assets amid questions about the long-standing dominance of US markets, which have sent the value of the dollar down. Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. both forecast that EM assets should gain with a declining dollar, while Societe Generale said local assets in developing nations are going through a 'goldilocks' moment. The extra yield investors demand to hold dollar bonds from emerging countries over US Treasuries has fallen and is inches away from the lowest level since 2020, according to a JPMorgan index. But demand has held up because spreads are tighter in US markets as well. 'If you're a CFO or treasurer you go when the window is open,' said Omotunde Lawal, head of EM corporate debt at Barings Investment Services. 'If US fiscal concerns keep on the top of minds then US yields will push higher — so maybe best to issue now rather than later.' A lack of clarity about the strength of the US economy is also leading many borrowers to issue bonds quickly in case there is more turmoil ahead, according to Stefan Weiler, the head of debt capital markets for Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa at JPMorgan in London. 'From a borrower perspective, the incentive of being patient has gone,' Weiler said. If there is a US recession, which JPMorgan assigns a 40% probability to, spreads would likely widen, making it more expensive for emerging markets to borrow, he added. 'It's really more about accessing the market when it's available.' The strong issuance began early in the year as developing nations around the world moved past a wave of post-pandemic defaults in 2024 and countries from Vietnam to Chile announced new economic reforms. While there was a slowdown immediately after US President Donald Trump announced global tariffs in early April, causing volatility to skyrocket, the market for emerging bonds bounced back strongly after the threat of harsh levies faded. The lull may be short-lived as the administration is set to review tariff policies in early July. 'EM has proved to be a comparative safe haven over this period,' according to Carmen Altenkirch, an analyst at Aviva Investors. 'Fundamentals have continued to improve, and sovereigns are getting rewarded for their prudence.' High Grade Investment-grade borrowers have accounted for more than 70% of the total bonds issued this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Mexico landed a record deal at the start of the year, while Saudi Arabia sold $12 billion in a triple-tranche transaction and activity out of China also picked up. In the Middle East, where most borrowers are investment-grade, funding needs surged amid the collapse in oil prices. The region has seen strong deal activity and will likely account for more than 40% out of all CEEMEA issuance this year, according to Weiler. The return of Latin American companies, many of whom had not been active in offshore markets, also helped drive volumes higher, said Adrian Guzzoni, head of debt capital markets for the region at Citigroup Inc. He's expecting full-year volumes for Latin America to surpass last year's figures. Some high-yield names, such as Brazil, Peru and Telecom Argentina SA have also recently tapped markets. Kyrgyzstan raised $700 million in its first-ever international bond sale, attracting over $2.1 billion in demand for its five-year notes at a yield of 8%. But not all junk issuers can take advantage of this window, highlighting the bifurcation in the developing world in times of high uncertainty. 'Higher Treasury yields, trade uncertainty, and lower oil prices place many lower-rated frontier countries at a distance from market access,' said Samy Muaddi, head of emerging-markets fixed income at T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. in Baltimore. Morgan Stanley strategists are expecting nations like Poland, Romania, Kuwait and Kazakhstan to tap the market soon. Central America countries like Costa Rica and Guatemala may also turn up, said Claudia Calich, head of EM debt at M&G Investment Management. 'If anybody wants to issue, we still have probably a four- to six-week window now,' said Calich. 'Otherwise, you have to wait until September.'
