Here are Tuesday's biggest calls on Wall Street: Piper Sandler reiterates Nvidia as overweight Piper said it's sticking with the stock ahead of earnings on Wednesday. "We advise investors to weather the uncertainty and stay long the stock as this is likely largely the last wave of negative news for NVDA this year. Reiterate OW rating." UBS upgrades LifeStance Health to buy from neutral UBS said the long term growth thesis is intact for the health company. "We are upgrading our rating of LFST to Buy (50%+ upside on $8.50 PT) as we see a fundamental disconnect between underlying performance and valuation today." Piper Sandler initiates SoundHound as overweight Piper said it's bullish on shares of the AI voice company. "We are initiating coverage of SoundHound with an OW rating and $12 price target based on 22x EV/CY26E Sales." Barclays downgrades CoreWeave to equal weight from overweight Barclays downgraded the stock on valuation . "We continue to like the role Coreweave is playing in the new GenAI world. However, after a 157% move since the IPO we see valuation at levels that could be stretched to move higher off fundamentals in the near term. As such, we downgrade to Equal Weight." Goldman Sachs upgrades Cummins to buy from neutral Goldman said it sees "improved supply and structurally higher unit profitability." "We upgrade CMI to Buy from Neutral as we see (i) structurally higher Power Systems profitability (pricing structure beyond data center), (ii) derisked EPA 2027 expectations, and (iii) US truck demand expectations that have been significantly reduced while used sleeper inventory levels that are now down 30% yoy." Baird upgrades Envista to outperform from neutral Baird upgraded the dental equipment company on tariff relief. "We're also upgrading NVST today to Outperform, with our call focused more on stock factors than pure end-market fundamentals, with stable end markets/recent China tariff relief (for now) likely helping this upside become increasingly apparent next couple quarters." Morgan Stanley reiterates Apple as overweight The firm said it's standing by Apple despite concerns over an import tariff on the iPhone. "While 'time to market' of a US-produced iPhone is one major impediment, our math says a 25% tariff on iPhone imports isn't enough incentive for Apple to reshore US-bound iPhone production. This means tariff costs are likely to increase beyond the June qtr; we have largely already accounted for this Truist upgrades Wingstop to buy from hold Truist said it's bullish on the wing-themed restaurant company. "We are upgrading our rating on WING to a Buy, from Hold, and increasing our ests. and PT to $400, from $274. Bernstein names Royal Caribbean a top pick Bernstein calls the cruise company the "vanguard" of the "industry renaissance" and said the stock is a top idea in the second half. "Add in a highly constrained supply environment, set to grow below demand, and Cruise should offer an attractive investment opportunity. Royal Caribbean is at the vanguard of this industry renaissance with the biggest ships and leading the industry on private destinations." Citi initiates DLocal as buy Citi said the cross border payment company is well positioned. "dLocal is a cross-border payment platform, connecting global merchants with customers from emerging economies in Africa, Asia and Latin America, through a unified platform and a single API [application programming interface]."

Wells Fargo initiates Expro Group Holdings as overweight The firm said it sees a slew of positive catalysts ahead for the energy company. "Initiate coverage of XPRO with an Overweight rating and $12 PT." Jefferies upgrades Southwest to hold from underperform Jefferies upgraded Southwest on the management's new initiatives. " LUV' s $1.8BB of initiatives EBIT in '25: $1BB from tactical changes of yield/inventory mgmt, new distribution channels, cuts to underperforming cities, & new intentional connections." Wolfe downgrades U.S. Steel to peer perform from outperform The firm said it assumes the deal for Nippon to take over U.S. Steel will occur. "We downgrade to Peer Perform in light of shrs trading near the Nippon takeout value. It seemed President Trump was set to approve the deal, which had been awaiting a final White House decision since January." Citi opens an upside catalyst watch on Dell Citi said it sees upside for Dell shares ahead of earnings this week with improved demand for Nvidia's GB200 AI super chip which Dell uses. "We open a ST [short term] Upside View on DELL shares on improving GB200 demand profile, showing a marked improvement." TD Cowen reiterates Microsoft as buy TD Cowen raised its price target on the stock to $540 per share from $490. "As AI revenue is rapidly building in the Azure model, especially OpenAI's contribution, we think this will start to put stronger upward pressure on total Azure growth. We think a return to Azure upside trends and firmer growth in the mid-30% level should help drive a stronger narrative around Azure and greater fund flows back into MSFT. " JPMorgan upgrades MSC Industrial to overweight from neutral JPMorgan said the industrial supplies company is a "turnaround story." " MSM has historically been among the most levered in the group to domestic IP trends given its status as industry leader in metalworking distribution."

Japan to release more rice from stockpiles to tackle shortage and rein in prices
TOKYO: Japan said on Friday it would release another 300,000 metric tons of rice from its emergency stockpile through July and tweak its purchasing policy to counter a shortage and rein in sky-high prices. Retail prices for Japan's staple grain are about double what they were a year ago after extreme heat hit crops and a tourism boom added to demand. That has become a top concern for consumers and a headache for Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ahead of upper house elections in July. The 300,000 tons would come on top of 310,000 released from emergency stockpiles since March, which marked the first time stockpiles have been released to rein in prices. The government's stockpiling policy requires it to purchase the same amount released at a later date, and that timeframe has now been extended to five years from one year. In another change, the government will also designate a portion of the release to bypass wholesalers so that the rice can reach consumers more quickly. The stockpiled rice still needs to be milled and packaged after release, and only 2% of 212,000 tons released through two auctions in March had reached retailers and restaurants by April 13, according to the farm ministry. For May through July, the government plans to conduct bids for 100,000 tons of stockpiled rice each month. Asia rice: Rates subdued across top exporting hubs on weak demand, ample supply High prices have seen more Japanese restaurants and consumers - famously finicky about the quality of rice - embracing foreign brands, which are now much cheaper than domestic varieties even with hefty import tariffs. Supermarket giant Aeon said this week it would start selling 100% US-produced Calrose rice from early June. It began offering a Calrose-Japanese rice blend last month. Japanese consumers are paying an average of 4,214 yen ($28) per 5 kg of rice, according to supermarket prices for the week to May 4. That's double year-ago levels but 19 yen less than the previous week, the first decline in 18 weeks.

Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd (BOM:538685) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: A Turnaround Quarter ...
Release Date: May 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd (BOM:538685) posted its first positive quarter in six quarters, driven by deferred B2B deals. Digital media revenues for the fourth quarter increased by 1.25% year on year, and for the full financial year, it grew by approximately 11%. The company released 13 new titles in Gujarati, including movies, web series, and plays, enhancing its content portfolio. Shemaroo's YouTube channel, Shimarumi Gane, crossed 71 million subscribers, garnering over 10.5 billion views during the quarter. The company is committed to strengthening its balance sheet and enhancing operational efficiency to unlock substantial long-term intrinsic value. The company reported a net loss of approximately 5 crores for the quarter and 85 crores for the financial year. Revenue from operations for the financial year declined by 3% year on year. The consolidation of the broadcasting industry led to a significant decline in the TV syndication business, impacting the overall top line. Margins are expected to remain under pressure due to ongoing accelerated inventory charges. The advertising outlook remains subdued due to macroeconomic pressures, geopolitical tensions, and major sporting events like IPL. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with BOM:538685. Q: Could you share the quantum of non-recurring B2B deals and the outlook for FY 2026? A: These content licensing deals are lumpy and non-recurring. While I can't disclose the exact value, they significantly impacted our topline this year. However, the outlook for next year is positive, with a strong content pipeline expected to drive growth. - CEO Q: Have any of your channels broken even, and what is the typical break-even timeline? A: One channel broke even about 1.5 years ago, and another is near break-even with low investment. The major investment is in Shemaroo Umang, focusing on original content. - CEO Q: What is the roadmap to achieve profitability, considering the inventory write-off? A: The accelerated inventory charge is significantly higher than the PBT loss. If added back, the PBT would be positive. We are focusing on cost rationalization and strategic investments to improve profitability. - CEO Q: What would be the ROCE and ROE if the accelerated inventory charge was not taken? A: The accelerated charge for the year is between 150 to 160 crores. Adding this back would make the PBT positive by about 40 crores. - CEO Q: How does the recent US tariff impact the company's performance in FY 2026? A: There is no official order yet, but it is likely intended for US-produced films shot outside the USA. We don't expect a major impact on foreign films, including our business. - CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
