Adidasupped to Buy at BofA

Bank of America upgraded Adidas (OTC:) to Buy from Neutral, with a revised price target of $129.00 (previously $98.30) on its U.S.-traded shares, as reported in real time on InvestingPro.

According to the bank, the Q2 gross margin beat is the clearest indication so far that the Adidas brand is undergoing a positive change:

"The beat was underpinned by higher full price sell-through, with cyclical tailwinds yet to come. This leaves adidas 1.5ppts away from its 50% mid-term guidance, which we think could now be exceeded (BofA estimate 51%)."

These developments further bolster Bank of America's confidence in the ongoing turnaround of Adidas and its potential for medium-term earnings growth.

The bank also pointed out upcoming potential catalysts, including a potential guidance increase in Q3/23, the launch of new products in the second half of 2023, and Capital Markets Day in 2024.

Frankfurt shares were recently up about 2% to 183.14 euros.

Redfin upgraded to Perform after a 41% stock drop

Oppenheimer upgraded (NASDAQ:) to Perform from Underperform based on the company’s valuation, with the stock down more than 41% in the last month. However, the firm stated that Redfin's agent-employee model is still in question.

"We believe the shares are fairly valued at their current 26% discount to peers on '24E gross profit,” mentioned Oppenheimer. The firm believes that Redfin positioning agents as full-time employees leaves the company with too many agents in a downturn and not enough to gain market share when the housing market improves.

Two more upgrades

UBS upgraded Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ:) to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $42.00 from $37.00.

"With shares trading below historical averages and at a deep discount to US Beverage peers, KDP is currently pricing in a decline in earnings power over the next twelve months. We view this as misplaced."

BofA Securities upgraded Hannon Armstrong (NYSE:) to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $27.00 from $24.00 driven by the stronger-than-anticipated impact of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tailwinds.

"HASI’s pipeline of investment opportunities has expanded 25% since February to >$5Bn. With strong conversion rates YTD and originations up 20% YoY, we raise our EPS expectations and now sit at the high-end of FY24 guidance."
