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.

Path to going public on markets sped up for companies
Companies wanting to list on the stock market will be given a fast track by the corporate watchdog to go public. Changes put forward by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission will mean companies could reduce the time needed in order to take a company public by one week. The watchdog will now work with companies two weeks before documents laying out details about an initial public offering are made available to the public. ASIC says it will lessen the risk of potential investors being scared off by volatile markets. The changes are being rolled out as part of a two-year trial to reverse a decline in companies going public on the Australian market. The number of companies going public hit a 20-year low in 2024, with just 29 initial public offerings on the ASX. That compares with the 240 new listings on the ASX in 2021. Commission chair Joe Longo said the changes would provide greater confidence in the stock market. "Creating a more streamlined IPO process underscores our commitment to ensuring our public markets remain attractive to companies and investors," he said. "Greater deal certainty for companies should help deliver more IPOs, which means more investment opportunities so companies can expand, increase jobs and ultimately economic growth." The changes are being announced ahead of a symposium being held by the commission on Tuesday in Sydney about the future of Australia's markets. A discussion paper put out by the commission in February said the number of publicly listed companies had been declining in many developed markets over decades. "The Australian market is concentrated, with most companies in the financials and mining sectors, and less represented in sectors that will drive growth in our increasingly digital future," the paper said. "Many companies are choosing to stay private where new funding and sell downs are now more accessible, while others are choosing to list in the United States." Mr Longo said further reforms were being considered to boost the number of new listings. "While we do not see regulatory settings as the silver bullet, we have received lots of ideas and are considering further regulatory adjustments to support a strong and well-functioning market," he said.

Why Intel's (INTC) Comeback Might Happen Sooner Than Expected
As an investor who's watched Intel's (INTC) challenges unfold over the past few years, I'm genuinely excited about Lip-Bu Tan stepping in as CEO. Tan's approach is both bold and strategic—the exact combination Intel desperately needs. He's already making aggressive moves to restructure the company, ramp up investments in manufacturing and AI, and put the foundry business at the forefront. Despite the plethora of both internal and external turmoil, INTC stock has managed to post a flat first six months of 2025. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Tan is steering Intel not only to reclaim its former dominance but potentially to exceed it. I'm bullish on the outlook—but realistic, too—knowing it will take time for Intel to solidify its AI foothold and deliver meaningful returns in the years ahead. Since taking the helm as CEO in March 2025, Tan has wasted no time launching a significant restructuring to slash layers of middle management that have long bogged down Intel's innovation and decision-making. The plan calls for reducing the workforce by about 20%—a tough but necessary move to streamline the organization and accelerate its agility. This isn't just about trimming costs; it's about making Intel leaner and faster. The company aims to reduce operating expenses to around $17 billion by FY 2025. While layoffs are never easy, Intel has grown bloated compared to rivals and now faces an intensely competitive market where survival—and success—demand swift action. As things stand, Intel lags behind its sector peers on several key metrics. I'm confident that a leaner Intel will be sharper, faster, and better positioned to innovate boldly and prove its strength to the competition. However, Tan must handle the workforce cuts with care, focusing on retaining key talent and maintaining morale through a strong, principled leadership approach. Arguably, Tan's boldest move is his unwavering commitment to Intel's advanced manufacturing, especially the cutting-edge 18A node (1.8nm) technology. Set to power Intel's Panther Lake CPUs by late 2025, this breakthrough could dramatically boost energy efficiency and performance, potentially allowing Intel to finally compete toe-to-toe with giants like TSMC (TSM) and Samsung (SSNLF). On the foundry front, Intel Foundry Services (IFS) is gaining serious momentum. High-profile deals—most notably with Microsoft (MSFT)—to utilize Intel's 18A process could transform Intel into a fierce contender in the foundry market. Securing a few more marquee contracts from the likes of Nvidia (NVDA) or Apple (AAPL) would be a game-changer, sparking a significant surge in investor confidence and substantially lifting Intel's valuation. That said, delays in the massive Ohio manufacturing facility, now pushed back to around 2030, raise concerns about capacity constraints and potential missed opportunities if chip demand suddenly spikes. Intel's challenge going forward will be striking the right balance in capital allocation and maintaining a nimble leadership team ready to seize emerging market opportunities quickly. Looking ahead to 2028, Intel's financial health will largely depend on how well it executes its strategy. Analysts project relatively flat to slightly declining revenue in FY 2025, hovering between $50 billion and $53 billion, with a modest recovery expected afterward. Earnings per share of around $0.30 for 2025 seem reasonable, given the current margin pressures. In my base-case outlook, Intel modestly rebounds to about $60 billion in revenue by 2028, with earnings per share approaching $3.00. This scenario would support a share price rising to around $40 from today's $20—a steady but unspectacular return over three years, especially with the dividend still cut during the turnaround. However, in a bull-case scenario, if Intel secures major foundry contracts and capitalizes on strong AI-driven demand, earnings per share could reach $5.00 by 2028, pushing shares into the $70 to $90 range. Conversely, if Intel falters in execution, revenue stagnates, and growth stalls, the stock could remain stuck in the $20s with limited upside potential. Intel is facing significant challenges, and execution, especially talent retention and deployment, will be critical. Any delays or yield issues with the 18A node could undermine confidence and push foundry customers toward competitors like TSMC. Additionally, Intel faces intense competition in chip design from Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD). Still, I believe the opportunities outweigh the risks. Despite dominant rivals, Intel's valuation remains attractively low, with a price-to-sales ratio under 2, compared to TSMC's 8.5, leaving plenty of room for multiple expansion as earnings momentum improves and investor sentiment turns positive. History shows that undervalued companies staging a comeback can deliver compelling investment stories. When it comes to INTC, most of Wall Street is sitting on the fence. Intel carries a consensus Hold rating, backed by two Buys, 25 Holds, and four Sells. INTC's average stock price target is $21.29, suggesting roughly 6.5% upside over the next year. Although this suggests it may be premature to expect significant gains, investors who buy now and hold through the stagnation phase could reap rewards if sentiment improves—truly a case of being better off being early than too late. There's no guarantee Intel will pull off a complete turnaround, but the company is clearly taking bold steps to tackle years of bloat, strategic drift, and technological lag. Still, winning over a competitive market dominated by entrenched giants won't be easy—it will require grit from management, sharp strategic vision, and a bit of luck. That said, for portfolios seeking value-driven upside, a modest stake in Intel could be a worthwhile investment. I'm cautiously optimistic.
