Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) and The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) received the updated price targets following their latest quarterly performance.

10. PagerDuty, Inc. (NYSE:PD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 17

Shares of PagerDuty, Inc. (NYSE:PD) rose nearly six percent on Friday, January 20, after Morgan Stanley upgraded the cloud computing company from “Equal-Weight” to “Overweight.”

The research firm also lifted its price target for PagerDuty, Inc. (NYSE:PD) from $32 per share to $36 per share, citing its attractive valuation. Analyst Sanjit Singh seemed impressed with the company’s durable sales growth.

Singh thinks investors are underestimating the company’s top-line growth and future margin expansion. He added that a subscription model has brought stability in sales, offering PagerDuty, Inc. (NYSE:PD) room to execute initiatives to improve cost structure and expand operating margin.

9. WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 19

Baird raised its price target for WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS) from $88 per share to $90 per share on Friday, January 20. The research firm was primarily moved by the company’s upbeat Q3 results and updated outlook for the full year.

WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS) recently released solid financial results for its fiscal third quarter. The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.01 per share, compared to 88 cents per share in the year-ago period.

In addition, adjusted sales for the quarter jumped 12.2 percent on a year-over-year basis to $292.9 million. The results exceeded the consensus of 97 cents per share for earnings and $290.7 million for sales.

Looking forward, WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS) now expects adjusted earnings in the range of $3.82 – $3.89 per share for its fiscal 2023, up from its previous outlook between $3.68 – $3.87 per share.

8. Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 22

Shares of Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) rose to a nearly 10-month high on Friday, January 20, after Barclays turned bullish on the fashion company. The research firm upgraded the stock from “Equal-Weight” to “Overweight” and lifted its price target from $101 per share to $134 per share.

Barclays analyst Paul Kearney called Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) a “best-in-class apparel brand,” citing its brand elevation and opportunities in the digital and international segments.

The analyst also thinks that Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE:RL) has a greater direct-to-consumer foothold than rivals, giving it more protection even if retailers or wholesalers decide to stock less of its products.

7. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 28

JPMorgan increased its price target for Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) from $53 per share to $60 per share on Friday, January 20.

Analyst Kenneth Worthington referred to the surge in cryptocurrency prices at the start of this year and how an exchange like Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) could benefit from it.

Separately, Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) recently suspended its operations in Japan. The move was primarily driven by volatile market conditions in the country. However, Oppenheimer thinks the decision won’t have any significant impact on the company’s sales.

Like Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), analysts also recently raised their price targets for Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META), Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) and The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG).

6. PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 34

Credit Suisse lifted its price target for PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) from $104 per share to $118 per share on Friday, January 20. The price-target hike came a day after the paints and coatings supplier posted better-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter.

PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) reported adjusted earnings of $1.22 per share, down from $1.26 per share in the year-ago period but above analysts’ average estimate of $1.13 per share. Revenue remained nearly unchanged at $4.2 billion, while analysts were looking for $4.12 billion.

For the current quarter, PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) anticipates adjusted earnings in the range of $1.10 – $1.20 per share. However, it expects Q1 sales to drop by a mid-single-digit percentage on a year-over-year basis.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

Dr. Inan Dogan

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

Wall Street calls this $3 stock a “Melting Ice Cube.” They said the same thing about BTI before it returned 90%.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
