  • Stifel bullish on Rivian's EV production future

    Stifel analysts initiated coverage of electric vehicle maker Rivian (RIVN) with a "Buy" rating and a $23 price target this week. Stifel Managing Director Stephen Gengaro highlighted Rivian's increasing brand awareness and partnerships as key strengths. Specifically, Rivian's R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck are driving awareness and demand. A partnership with Amazon (AMZN) to produce electric delivery vans leverages Rivian's EV capabilities. Additionally, the planned 2026 launch of Rivian's R2 vehicle — an affordable crossover — capitalizes on interest in a practical and desired electric option. While the EV industry has grappled with cost challenges, Gengaro highlights that Rivian stands out with its promising production volume and potential for margin expansion, positioning the company for successful EV manufacturing.

  • Lululemon shows no real signs of slowing down: Analyst

    Shares of Lululemon (LULU) began to trade lower on Thursday after reporting third-quarter results that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, but the fourth quarter revenue guidance was short of expectations. The athletic wear retailer recently was downgraded by Raymond James analysts but was this a mistake? Brian Nagel, Oppenheimer Senior Analyst, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss why Lululemon is a company on the rise and the opportunities for the company to expand going forward. Nagel explains his stance on Lululemon's strength: "Overall, the consumer continues to hold up really well. I have been through a number of quarterly reports over the last few weeks... it seemed like there was a bit of consumer weakness in October, some of that was probably weather driven, basically it being too warm across the country, but I think what we're seeing consistently, and I very much expect Lululemon to talk about this on their conference call, is that the consumer, when there's a reason to spend, they are showing up."

  • Disney, Netflix: Strategist says buy one, avoid the other

    It's the battle of the streaming giants. In the debut episode of Good Buy or Goodbye, Sarge986 LLC President Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle explains why he is buying Disney and avoiding Netflix. Guilfoyle likes Disney (DIS) because of its valuation and the activist investment from Trian's Nelson Peltz. Guilfoyle argues that if Peltz can put pressure on CEO Bob Iger and other board members, it can be "hugely positive, just in perception terms." Guilfoyle also points to the stock's technicals, saying the stock has support at around $86. As for risks, Guilfoyle says if Peltz's proxy fight fails or Iger doesn't appease him or work out a compromise, it could be "a big negative for shareholders." A deep recession would present a downside for Disney stock too, he adds. So what does Guilfoyle not like about Netflix (NFLX)? The stock is "really expensive relative to Disney" and the streamer is burning through too much cash, Guilfoyle explains, adding "they are priced as a growth stock, they are not a growth stock." Guilfoyle also points to bearish technicals. Guifoyle says his "panic point" on Netflix would be if the stock starts to reach a triple top. You can watch more Good Buy or Goodbye by clicking here.
