Separately, Northcoast upgraded Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) to Buy from Neutral with a $575 price target, citing the stock’s nearly 30% decline in 2026 and arguing that concerns around AI disruption may be overshadowing the strength of Intuit’s core tax and small business franchise.

4. ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW)
On April 13, 2026, RBC Capital lowered its price target on ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) to $121 from $150 and maintained an Outperform rating as part of a broader Q1 software preview. RBC said sector sentiment is “very bad” amid volatility, driven largely by concerns around LLM competition, with many investors on the sidelines. The firm added that macro uncertainty tied to the Iran conflict, workforce reductions, longer deal cycles linked to AI adoption, and FX pressures could limit near-term catalysts, with expectations for largely in-line results and unchanged FY26 guidance.
On April 9, 2026, UBS downgraded ServiceNow to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $100, down from $170, citing reduced confidence in the company’s positioning in the AI landscape relative to peers. UBS also flagged increasing signs of budget pressure for non-AI software and expects more limited upside to guidance alongside “skinnier-than-normal” earnings beats in upcoming quarters.
On the same day, ServiceNow announced that its entire product portfolio is now AI-enabled, integrating AI, data connectivity, workflow execution, security, and governance across offerings. The company also introduced Context Engine, designed to connect decision-making data across AI agents, and new Build Agent capabilities that allow developers to deploy workflows directly onto the platform.

On April 7, 2026, BMO Capital analyst Daniel Jester lowered the firm’s price target on Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADP) to $234 from $281 and kept a Market Perform rating as part of a broader Q1 preview for human capital management. Daniel Jester said shares have been under pressure ahead of Q3 results, reflecting both cyclical and structural growth concerns, and while modest upside is expected, it may not be sufficient to ease near-term caution based on intra-quarter data, Paychex read-throughs, and industry checks.
Last month, Guggenheim initiated coverage on Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADP) with a Buy rating and a $270 price target. The firm said the stock’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 has been driven by concerns that AI could reduce workforce demand and impact seat-based software models, but added that ADP has shown relative resilience and that it may be premature to materially discount long-term value for a diversified platform.

(NYSE:RSG) to $245 from $233 and maintained a Neutral rating as part of a broader Q1 preview across machinery and waste services. The firm said recent Class 8 truck order data points to potential upside in second-half 2026 estimates for the truck group, while noting a mixed macro backdrop with resilient construction equipment demand but more uneven trends across agriculture and retail.
On March 18, 2026, Wells Fargo raised its price target on Republic Services to $252 from $238 and kept an Overweight rating. Wells Fargo said it remains constructive on the environmental services group, citing pricing-driven growth, improving free cash flow, and a shift in recycled commodity pricing from a headwind last year to a potential earnings tailwind.
Earlier in March, Wolfe Research initiated coverage on Republic Services with a Peer Perform rating, noting the company’s diversified portfolio offers multiple growth avenues but suggesting current estimates and valuation appear balanced.

On April 9, 2026, DZ Bank analyst Axel Herlinghaus upgraded Unilever PLC (NYSE:UL) to Buy from Hold.
Last month, Unilever and McCormick & Company (NYSE:MKC) announced an agreement to combine McCormick with Unilever’s Foods business, excluding India and certain other operations, to form a global flavor-focused company with approximately $20B in combined fiscal 2025 revenue. Under the terms, Unilever and its shareholders are expected to receive equity representing 65.0% of the combined company, equivalent to $29.1B based on McCormick’s one-month volume-weighted average price of $57.84, along with $15.7B in cash, subject to adjustments. The transaction implies an enterprise value of approximately $44.8B for Unilever Foods and about $21B for McCormick, both at roughly 13.8x fiscal 2025 EBITDA.
Upon closing, Unilever shareholders are expected to own 55.1% of the combined entity, McCormick shareholders 35.0%, and Unilever itself 9.9%. The deal is not expected to trigger U.S. federal income tax for Unilever or its shareholders. The companies expect to generate approximately $600M in annual run-rate cost synergies over three years, with about two-thirds realized by the end of year two, primarily from procurement, manufacturing, and SG&A efficiencies. One-time costs to achieve these synergies are estimated at $300M, with an additional $100M in incremental cost and revenue synergies to be reinvested to support growth. The transaction is expected to close by mid-2027, subject to shareholder approval, regulatory clearances, and other customary conditions, including works council consultations.
