Stocks were indicated to open marginally higher on Tuesday after a mixed trading session on Monday. Investors have effectively seen bad news from companies and the economic reports in the past month, but stocks have continued to recover at a blistering pace from the lows in March. Has the stock market rebounded too much, or are the trillions of stimulus dollars and the gradual reopening of the economy going to keep marching stocks higher? This is a time when some investors are considering new ideas to decide how to be best positioned ahead of summer and for the rest of 2020.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week. Our goal is to find new ideas for long-term investors and short-term traders alike. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, and some cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

Analysts are still making many upgrades, downgrades, reiterations and initiations ahead of and after key earnings reports. While many analysts are still cutting price targets and earnings estimates for the coming quarters and for the year, many are still maintaining their prior official ratings.

Remember, no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision. Consensus analyst target prices are from Refinitiv.

These are the top analyst calls seen on Tuesday, May 12, 2020.
