Stocks were looking to bounce on Monday after Friday’s major tech stock sell off. After such a strong 2026, many investors have already started positioning their assets for 2026. Some investors have procrastinated even as Wall Street strategists are all predicting double-digit gains next year. For those who have not given consideration for the year ahead, Wall Street analysts have some new investment ideas in well-known stocks.
Tactical Bulls reviews the daily flow of Wall Street analyst research reports each morning. Most new Buy and Outperform ratings come with 8% to 12% implied upside. Monday’s top analyst calls featured multiple stocks with stronger expectations that the typical analyst upside targets.
Investors need to always keep in mind that no single analyst report should ever be the sole basis to buy or sell a stock. After all, analysts sometimes get their thesis wrong and fundamentals can change in the blink of an eye.
The analyst ratings and price targets mentioned in this report are from each firm mentioned by name. Tactical Bulls does not maintain any formal ratings and price targets on any of the stocks in this report. Also keep in mind that no analyst reports come with assured outcomes, and no money-back guarantees are even issued if the thesis doesn’t hold up or if investors lose money.
