With NVDA earnings next week, analysts at Citi just reiterated a buy rating on the tech giant. The firm noted that it’s recommending investors add to NVDA, as the valuation looks attractive and the stock is likely to outperform in the second half of 2026.

Analysts at Baird just initiated an outperform rating on Tempus AI (TEM), noting that the AI company is in an “underpenetrated market.”

And analysts at Bank of America just upgraded lithium giant Albemarle (ALB) to a buy rating. The firm added, “With lithium spot prices doubling since our Oct. downgrade and now sustaining above $20/kg, we believe the ‘headline-driven’ momentum phase has largely played out,” as quoted by CNBC.
