IONQ--
Analyst Stone Fox Capital downgraded AT&T (T) from Buy to Hold, expressing concerns over the company's preference for convoluted acquisitions over debt repayment and innovation. The analyst also noted that the stock's 4% dividend yield and lack of focus on AI/data centers make it less attractive compared to higher-yielding, growth-oriented alternatives [1].
For Snowflake (SNOW), Value Kicker analysts maintained a Buy to Hold rating but did not provide specific reasons for the downgrade. Similarly, Daniel Javier downgraded Yum! Brands (YUM) to Buy to Hold, with no specific details provided. Credo Technology (CRDO) was also downgraded by JR Research to Buy to Hold, but the specific reasons were not detailed in the provided materials.
IonQ (IONQ) received a downgrade from Juxtaposed Ideas, citing concerns over the stock's rapid rally and expensive valuations. The analyst noted that the high short interest volumes and market sentiment indicate a lack of margin of safety. Qurate Retail Group (QBTS) was also downgraded by Juxtaposed Ideas due to its lumpy monetization, which triggers minimal margin of safety [1].
These downgrades come amidst a broader market sentiment that has seen several tech stocks join the Russell Microcap Index, while others like VirnetX and KULR are poised to exit ahead of Nvidia's earnings. The overall market environment remains dynamic, with analysts advising caution on stocks with high valuations and uncertain growth prospects.
