Ford (F, $16.33) gets rating upgrade at Credit Suisse

Ford (F, $16.33) gets rating upgrade at Credit Suisse

Ford Motor  shares rose higher Wednesday, following a rating boost from analysts at Credit Suisse .

Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy hiked his rating on the automaker’s shares to 'outperform', from 'neutral'. Levy also boosted his price target on the stock by $5, to $20 a share. The analyst cited a favorable industry cycle heading into 2023, bolstered by inventory rebuilding and better positioning of Ford in the electric vehicle market.

Last month. Ford mentioned that its  overall U.S. vehicle sales fell -17.7% year-over-year over the month of September, , while truck sales were -22.6% lower. The company’s electrified car sales, however, climbed +91.6% year-over-year.

Ford expanded its overall inventory by 21,000 vehicles over the month, notwithstanding plant closures and delays owing to the global shortage in semiconductors. It achieved a gross stock total of 236,000 units.

Levy is expecting Ford and its rival General Motors  to beat Street earnings forecasts next week.

Ford will publish its third quarter earnings after the close of trading on Wednesday October 27.  Analysts are expecting an adjusted earnings of 27 cents per share on revenues of $32.656 billion.

EVCM shares are plunging approximately 23% in premarket trading on March 13, 2026, following the company's Q4 2025 earnings release after the prior session's close. The primary catalyst is a significant EPS miss — EverCommerce reported adjusted EPS of $0.03, badly missing the consensus estimate of $0.05, a 40% negative earnings surprise.
ADBE shares are down approximately 8.67% in premarket trading on March 13, 2026, erasing gains from the prior session. The primary catalyst is the surprise announcement that longtime CEO Shantanu Narayen will step down after 18 years once a successor is named.
ULTA shares are declining sharply in premarket trading on March 13, 2026, extending losses that began after the company's earnings release after the close on March 12 — with the stock down approximately 8.3% in premarket, building on a -4.28% decline during the regular session on March 12. The primary catalyst is fiscal 2026 earnings guidance that fell short of Wall Street expectations, with the company projecting diluted EPS of $28.05–$28.55 against analyst consensus of approximately $28.58.
EONR is trading approximately +10% higher in Friday's premarket session, extending a powerful multi-day rally that has seen the stock surge over 250% year-to-date. The primary catalyst is the company's newly expanded oil hedging program, locking in favorable pricing through 2027 as oil prices spike amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Shares of El Pollo Loco Holdings (LOCO) surged approximately 15% in early trading on March 13, 2026, following a strong Q4 2025 earnings report released after the close on March 12. The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.25, beating the consensus estimate of $0.21 — a 20.95% earnings surprise — and the highest quarterly beat in recent history.
Shares of Resolute Holdings Management (RHLD) are declining approximately 10% in Friday's session, extending a sharp multi-session downtrend. The primary catalyst is a disappointing full-year and Q4 2025 earnings report released on March 12, 2026, which showed a widening net loss and a Q4 per-share loss of -$0.20 — worse than expectations.
Shares of BW are tumbling approximately 19% in early Friday trading, extending steep losses from the prior session. The primary catalyst is a short-seller report from Wolfpack Research, which publicly disclosed a short position in BW and raised serious questions about the company's flagship $2.4 billion deal.
Trading SOXL (the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF), one of the most volatile instruments in U.S. markets, the robot combines 15-minute pattern recognition with Financial Learning Models (FLMs) to extract alpha precisely when human traders are most likely to panic. In today's environment — where war headlines, rate uncertainty, and sector rotation collide — an AI that thrives on volatility isn't a luxury. It's an edge.
In only 6 trading days (March 6–12, 2026), this robot closed 40 trades with a staggering 97.50% win rate, generated $3,429.47 in net profit on $1K-per-trade sizing, and achieved an annualized return of 472.69% with a Profit Factor of 167.59. That is not a typo. While human traders were frozen in fear, this AI was executing with surgical precision — finding breakout entries across four of America's most iconic consumer brands and rotating capital at machine speed.
Gold Fields Ltd (GFI), one of the world’s largest gold producers with mines in Australia, Ghana, South Africa and the Americas, saw its U.S.-listed shares drop more than 10% today. The selloff comes less than a month after the company reported record 2025 profits and unveiled an aggressive capital‑spending and shareholder‑returns plan, and just as the stock trades ex‑dividend. Together, those factors triggered profit‑taking in a name that had rallied strongly into the results and dividend announcement.
ACDC fell over 11% today following the release of Q4 and full‑year 2025 results, reversing part of a roughly 35–40% rally the stock had staged since late 2025.
IPX fell over 14% today, compounding a similar‑sized decline in the previous session; the stock is now down roughly 24% over five days and back into negative territory year‑to‑date. The latest half‑year results showed continued operating losses of around US$34 million, highlighting the capital‑intensive and pre‑profit nature of IperionX’s titanium and critical‑minerals projects.
Shares of NSA stock surged roughly 27% in premarket trading after the company agreed to be acquired by Public Storage in an all-stock transaction valued at about $10.5 billion. The deal values National Storage Affiliates at an implied price of about $41.68 per share, representing a substantial premium to its prior closing price near the low-$30s.
Shares of NBIS jumped roughly 12% in premarket trading after a sharp rally in the prior regular session. The latest leg of the price rally follows news of a multibillion‑dollar, long‑term AI infrastructure agreement with Meta Platforms that expands Nebius’s cloud capacity commitments.
Micron Technology’s common stock MU (MU) rose 5.13% in the latest completed session, closing at 426.13 dollars versus 405.35 dollars previously. The move appears driven by continued enthusiasm around Micron’s role as a key memory supplier to artificial intelligence and data center markets, supporting an earnings-driven re‑rating of the stock.
IperionX Limited (IPX) is down about 15.57% in early trading on March 16, with shares recently changing hands near 29.44 dollars versus a previous close of 34.87 dollars. The drop extends a post‑earnings selloff after the company’s March 12 results highlighted continued losses and substantial funding needs to scale its titanium operations.
Shares of CTMX surged roughly 56% in the latest session, staging a sharp intraday price rally from the prior close. The move appears driven by earnings-related positioning and growing optimism around CytomX’s PROBODY therapeutic platform and late‑stage oncology pipeline.
Hyperliquid Strategies Inc (PURR) shares jumped about 15% in the latest session, extending a multi-week price rally tied to digital-asset exposure. The move comes as traders bid up proxy plays on the Hyperliquid ecosystem and HYPE token, with renewed risk appetite in crypto-related assets.
VIA fell over 11% today, extending a slide that began last week; the stock has been under pressure since trading around the high‑teens and low‑$20s, well below its $46 IPO price.
LAES fell more than 19% today as the market digested a $125 million registered direct offering of 30.4 million new shares (or pre‑funded warrants) plus warrants for up to 60.8 million additional shares, all priced at $4.11 per unit.
