Stocks were indicated lower on Tuesday after the three-day weekend, but the major market equity indexes may have recently hit all-time highs after a strong earnings season. Investors have seen less upside from the “buy the dips” trends that had worked for several years. Those same investors also are trying to decide how they want their investments positioned for the rest of 2018.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week. The goal is to find new investing and trading ideas for our readers. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, but some of them cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

Additional commentary has been added on most of the daily analyst reports, along with trading history. The consensus analyst price targets and other valuation metrics are from the Thomson Reuters sell-side research service.
