5. Alcoa Corp (NYSE:AA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 60

On July 1, B. Riley reiterated a Buy rating on Alcoa Corp (NYSE:AA) and a price target of $92. This followed the company’s announcement of the acquisition of South32’s bauxite, alumina, and aluminium assets. The firm believes the initial drop in the company’s share price reflects investor concerns about incremental leverage and a preference for short-term shareholder returns, given weak market conditions for alumina. However, the firm views the selloff as excessive and views the deal more positively over the long term. It expects several benefits, including cost savings from synergies and stronger scale, which could improve AA’s competitiveness. Multiple sources of cash flow, such as asset sales, potential gains from higher metal prices and the sale of its stake in Ma’aden, could offset the additional debt, noted the firm.

Earlier on June 25, Timna Tanners of Wells Fargo lowered the firm’s price target on Alcoa Corp (NYSE:AA) from $82 to $71 and kept an Overweight rating on the stock. The downward price target revision reflects a cautious valuation outlook due to recent weakness in aluminum prices. However, Wells Fargo thinks the aluminum price has oversold, retreating to pre-Iran War levels despite extensive physical damage.

Alcoa Corp (NYSE:AA) engages in the bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminum production, and energy generation business. The company operates through two segments: Alumina and Aluminum.

2. General Motors Co (NYSE:GM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 77

On July 1, General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) and Micron Technology announced a Strategic Customer Agreement to secure a long-term supply of memory and storage products. These components are important for GM’s vehicle production and delivery at scale. This agreement will strengthen the semiconductor and automotive supply chains while supporting the next generation of US manufacturing and innovation.

With a strong technological tailwind in the automotive industry, car manufacturing needs a steady supply of components over many years. Companies in the sector need to have reliable and consistent access to memory chips to meet growing demand. This also ensures consumers can get vehicles with the latest technology and safety features, especially as global demand for semiconductors continues to rise. In addition to the committed supply in this agreement, both companies continue to collaborate on future memory and storage technology requirements. This includes designing products, optimizing systems, and testing advanced memory solutions for GM’s upcoming vehicle platforms.

Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman, President, and CEO of Micron Technology, highlighting the importance of this collaboration, said:

We are proud to expand our strategic relationship with General Motors to deliver both long-term supply assurance and technology innovation critical to the future of the automotive industry. As demand for memory and storage continues to grow, we are investing to extend supply availability, expand capacity, and align more closely with our customers to improve supply predictability across the automotive ecosystem. Our expanding manufacturing efforts in the United States are designed to enable GM to deliver both near-term products as well as secure U.S.-based supply to support next-generation platforms and innovation.

1. Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 78

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is one of the top extreme value stocks to buy now. On June 30, Rosenblatt Securities upgraded the stock to Buy from its previous Neutral rating while also upgrading the price target from $24 to $31. The rating upgrade follows the company’s surprise announcement that it plans to spin off NBCUniversal into a separate publicly traded company. The firm believes that investor concerns about Comcast’s cable business are beginning to ease, as fears about increasing competition from SpaceX appear overstated.

Moreover, the company is planning to offer more affordable and consumer-friendly packages, a strategy that could strengthen its position in an increasingly competitive market. The analysts also believe that considering the stock is down more than 50% in five years, even a slight positive change in media sentiment could bring about a rally in the stock’s price.

We see that with the spin, which propels NBCU to a future where it could become subject to WB-style merger fervor at some point. Meanwhile, sentiment for the cable business has probably bottomed, with SpaceX competition fears overdone, and a pivot to lower-priced, more favorable packages for consumers comped in 2H26, setting the stage for a return to growth.

Further supporting the bullish sentiment, Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft also upgraded Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) to a Buy rating from Hold. Even though he adjusted his price target lower from $34 to $32, it still offers 34% upside from here on.

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) operates as a media and technology company worldwide. The company operates in a number of segments, including Residential Connectivity & Platform, Business Services Connectivity, Media, Studios, and Theme Parks. The company was founded in 1963 and is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
