Introduction

Big banks changed their opinions about many companies. Some companies are now better or worse for investors.

Main Body

Many banks like technology companies. They think Nvidia and Micron are good. Wells Fargo likes Madison Air Solutions because it helps data centers. But UBS says Dell is now just okay because the price is already high. Banks also like planes and factories. Goldman Sachs and UBS say Arxis and StandardAero are good to buy. Mizuho thinks Primoris Services is better now. Bank of America recommends FedEx and C.H. Robinson. Energy and food companies are different. RBC says BP is a good choice. But JPMorgan says Wendy's is bad because it has poor leaders. Bank of America still likes Affirm because it makes a lot of money.

Conclusion

Banks like AI and planes. They are worried about food shops and high prices.
