Next, chemical company DuPont catching an upgrade after the stock’s recent sell off. Keybank raising its rating to overweight from sector weight. Keybank says that the company’s strong balance sheet could allow it to weather a possible economic downturn. The analyst calls DuPont’s electronics and water divisions, quote, world-class secular growth franchises, and that possible tariff exemptions could derisk downside for DuPont. The firm sees more than 37% upside for the stock as of the last close.

And finally, Peloton getting an upgrade to buy from hold at Deutsche Bank. The analyst thinks the stock has been hit too hard since its last earnings report. Although the firm does expect Peloton to see rising tariff costs and growth pressures, they believe the earnings could do better than expected over the next year. The analyst price target is now $6.60. That’s about 18% upside from the last close.
