Bank of America reiterates Oracle as buy

Bank of America said it sees growth acceleration following the company’s earnings report on Thursday. “Our bullish view on Oracle is based on accelerating demand in the company’s OCI [Oracle cloud infrastructure] segment.”

Tesla Motors

Morgan Stanley reiterates Tesla as equal weight

The firm raised its bull case on the stock and says the company’s autonomous trucking software is promising. “Autonomous trucking offers 2.3x better utilization, 20% lower cost/mile, and 6x higher profit/truck vs. human driving . Tesla Semi is small today but a $0.85-$1/mile FSD fee (~$12-$18k/ truck/month) means small volumes can move numbers. We raise our bull case by $20 to $840.”

The bank says its Tesla survey checks show deliveries trending up month over month. “Of the 5 mkts we track, Aug TSLA deliveries are trending -4% y/y, though +45% m/m.”

JPMorgan reiterates Tesla as neutral

The firm said in a note on Thursday that Tesla Motors faces an uncertain path to regulator approval for the Cybercab. "With the official public roll-out of the Cybercab, the debate no longer pertains to whether the vehicle can drive itself but whether a controls-free, purpose-built platform can clear an authorization landscape that remains deeply fragmented across jurisdictions."

“Nothing in our checks challenged our constructive AI-demand view. GPU racks remain the large majority of AI-system revenue at major manufacturers, while suppliers continue expanding capacity around NVIDIA platforms.”

JPMorgan initiates SK Hynix as overweight

JPMorgan says the company has "AI cycle durability." "We initiate coverage of SK hynix with an OW rating and a Jun-27 PT of US$245 based on a 20% ADR premium to the local share price target."

JPMorgan upgrades Meta to overweight from neutral
