Uber upgraded to Positive following strong Q1 earnings

Susquehanna upgraded Uber (NYSE:UBER) to Positive from Neutral and raised its price target to $48.00 from $40.00 following the company’s reported Q1 results, with EPS and revenues coming in better than the consensus estimates.

Moreover, the company’s Q2 gross bookings and adjusted EBITDA outlook beat expectations. Following the results, shares jumped more than 11% on Tuesday.

According to Susquehanna, the company’s positioning continues to strengthen, while simultaneously showing improving operating leverage. These factors, along with a plethora of large growth opportunities ahead, led the firm to upgrade the stock.

Shares closed with more than a 3% gain yesterday.

AMD upgraded to Buy

Craig-Hallum upgraded Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) to Buy from Hold, noting it believes the company can potentially become a more material winner in the artificial intelligence space.

Shares plunged yesterday on weak Q2 revenue guidance. The selloff extended after BofA Securities downgraded the company to Neutral from Buy. Shares closed with more than a 9% loss yesterday.
