Bank of America analysts have updated their short-term stock list. Among the changes, the firm has added Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Boeing (NYSE: BA) with “buy” ratings while homebuilder Lennar (NYSE: LEN) has fallen to “underperform.” BofA market strategiests also believe the S&P 500 is pricey at current levels.
MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) is on pace to report a steep Q4 setback as Bitcoin’s late-year pullback weighs on its performance. Michael Saylor’s company had benefited from a strong crypto rally earlier in the year, but that momentum faded after Bitcoin dropped roughly 24% during the quarter.
Because MicroStrategy now accounts for its digital assets at fair value, shifts in Bitcoin’s price move straight through the income statement. With holdings valued around $60 billion, the weakness is likely to translate into notable unrealized losses, creating a sharp contrast with the prior quarter, when BTC prices were a tailwind, not a headwind.
Nevertheless, MSTR stock is up nearly 6% today after being slashed nearly in half in 2025.
AppLovin (Nasdaq: APP), a growth stock, is plummeting by 8.6% today.
Online used-car platform Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) is down 5.7%.
Workday (Nasdaq: WDAY) is losing nearly 5% on the day.
Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU) is sinking 5.1% on a shaky outlook for 2026.
Fair Isaac Corp (NYSE: FICO) is losing 4.4% today.
Raymond James analysts have resumed coverage of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock with a “market perform” rating, down from a previous view of “outperform.” The analyst firm stated in its report, “Despite strong fundamentals and improving product cycles, we believe Apple’s current valuation appropriately reflects these strengths, limiting near-term upside.”
