All times ET. 5:54 a.m.: Redburn Atlantic downgrades Costco Redburn Atlantic is stepping to the sidelines on Costco . Analyst Daniela Nedialkova lowered her rating on shares to neutral from buy. She did increase her price target to $890 per share from $860, but that only implies upside of 1.5% from Monday’s close. Although Costco is a “high-quality growth compounder” thanks to its differentiated business model and growing membership base, Nedialkova thinks upside catalysts for this year have largely been price in. “While ongoing comp/market share gains should continue to drive decent earnings growth (c10% pa), the current risk-reward profile is skewing less favourably given the even higher than normal expectations priced into a starting point of 50x P/E on FY25,” the analyst wrote in a note Tuesday. “When valuation is high, there is simply less risk,” she added. Shares have surged nearly 36% year to date.

Long-term, Tesla is an emerging leader in autonomous driving (robotaxi) and humanoid robots (Optimus … which represent some of the most clear and lucrative applications of end-to-end AI,” he added. Tesla shares are down nearly 13% year to date. However, they have soared 24% over the past three months. TSLA 3M mountain TSLA 3-mo chart — Fred Imbert
