Major indexes remain volatile as investors assess key earnings releases and political tensions in the Middle East. Investors with a long-term view should look beyond the ongoing noise and focus on stocks that are well positioned to generate strong returns.
In this regard, the recommendations of top Wall Street analysts can help in sorting out stocks with strong growth opportunities. These experts conduct an in-depth analysis of all major and minor factors affecting the company, focusing on its long-term growth potential.
Here are three stocks that some of Wall Street’s top experts love, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance.
CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike Holdings stock price is a cloud cybersecurity provider. The company recently announced an expanded partnership with Schwarz Digits to bring its Falcon platform to European businesses.
After hosting several European investor meetings with CrowdStrike CFO, Stifel analyst Adam Borg reiterated a buy rating on CRWD stock and raised his price target to $230 from $220.
The five-star analyst said the meetings boosted his confidence about CrowdStrike “as a significant, well-positioned cybersecurity vendor that leverages AI given its broad portfolio, unique data set, and ability to both protect against AI and use AI to improve security.”
Among the key takeaways, Borg noted that AI is revolutionizing the need for cybersecurity as it introduces software vulnerabilities that can be exploited by unsophisticated hackers with skills previously limited to government-backed hacking groups. This has led companies to make cybersecurity a priority, driving customer interest in CrowdStrike’s new AI Detection & Response solution and its comprehensive security platform.
Borg added that AI-driven demand is expanding CrowdStrike’s pipeline and underpinning confidence in the company’s 2027 high-net-worth new annual revenue forecast released last quarter. Overall, Borg believes that CrowdStrike has several growth drivers that can help maintain revenue growth at least in the younger generation and drive improved profitability in the coming years.
Borg is ranked No. 651 among more than 12,300 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His estimates were profitable 65% of the time, yielding an average return of 15%. See CrowdStrike Ownership Structure on TipRanks.
AST SpaceMobile
Moving on to AST SpaceMobilea company that is building a global mobile broadband network in space. Recently, Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter initiated coverage of location-related stocks. While the analyst has given AST SpaceMobile a buy rating with a $100 price target, he is bearish on the rocket maker. SpaceX again Rocket Lab due to measurement concerns.
“We choose ASTS, because of the sweet valuation, and the clear path to EBITDA,” Potter said.
The five-star analyst highlighted that AST SpaceMobile builds satellites that connect directly to smartphones, ensuring network connectivity for users everywhere and enabling applications such as video calls, streaming, and gaming. Potter added that ASTS technology helps Mobile Network Operators, or MNOs, to extend coverage and offer additional services to travelers and users in remote areas.
Additionally, Potter noted that ASTS has partnered with and received equity investments from other major MNOs, including AT&T, Vodafone, Verizon and Rakuten. He explained that by partnering with these carriers instead of competing with them, ASTS gains access to more than 3 billion subscribers.
Potter ranks No. 708 among the more than 12,300 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His estimates were profitable 48% of the time, yielding an average return of 17.2%. See AST SpaceMobile Technical Analysis on TipRanks.
Broadcom
Finally, let’s take a look Broadcomprovider of custom AI chips and communication solutions. More recently, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore reiterated a buy rating on Broadcom stock with a price target of $502.
The five-star analyst is surprised by AVGO stock’s underperformance so far this year compared to its peers, especially given the continued push in AI-driven search. Moore cited concerns that rival MediaTek could gain market share from Broadcom in Google’s tensor processing unit chip business and investor preference for fast-growing AI chip names as reasons for the underperformance.
While Moore acknowledges that MediaTek’s role in Google’s TPU business is growing, he argues that it is unlikely to significantly affect Broadcom’s position. He expects Broadcom to continue to be the largest supplier of TPU, with a market share of around 80%. Overall, Moore believes that concerns about AVGO’s market share falling to 50% or its eventual replacement seem premature.
“AVGO should retain the majority of shares, continue strong growth in AI, and remain the winner of computing, closing behind NVDA,” Moore said.
The analyst explained that his bullish view on Broadcom is based on the company’s strong advantages in providing high-bandwidth memory, chip packaging capabilities, and mass production. Moore also highlighted AVGO’s dominance in AI ASIC chips, strong network business, and new customer wins.
Moore ranks No. 148 among more than 12,300 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His predictions were successful 60% of the time, yielding an average return of 25.5%. See Broadcom Insider’s Trading Activity on TipRanks.
