LLY: GLP-1 Pricing Deals And Policy Will Shape Future Obesity Leadership And Risks

Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Eli Lilly to approximately $1,093 from about $1,024, reflecting expectations for stronger long term GLP 1 driven revenue growth, expanding profit margins and sustained leadership in the obesity market, supported by recent U.S. reimbursement and pricing deals. Analyst Commentary Street research remains broadly constructive on Eli Lilly, with a series of upward price target revisions and fresh coverage initiations underscoring confidence in the durability of its GLP 1 franchise and broader innovation pipeline.

NVDA: AI Infrastructure Supercycle Will Drive Multi-Year Data Center Leadership

Analysts nudged their fair value estimate for Nvidia modestly higher to approximately $253 per share from about $250 per share, citing a wave of post earnings price target hikes that highlight the company's entrenched AI data center leadership and strong multi year demand visibility, despite emerging competition from custom accelerators and TPUs. Analyst Commentary Bullish analysts largely interpret the recent wave of estimate and price target increases as confirmation that Nvidia remains the primary beneficiary of the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout, with multi year visibility supported by a deep order book for Blackwell and Rubin platforms and expanding hyperscaler and sovereign AI commitments. At the same time, there is growing acknowledgment that alternative accelerators, custom ASICs, and TPUs are beginning to carve out share in certain workloads, introducing a more competitive backdrop that could constrain upside to current expectations if Nvidia fails to maintain its performance and ecosystem advantages.

Analysts made a marginal upward revision to their fair value estimate for Alibaba Group Holding to approximately $198 per share, reflecting slightly stronger long term cloud and artificial intelligence monetization prospects that more than offset modestly reduced revenue and profit forecasts tied to quick commerce and customer management headwinds. Analyst Commentary Street research on Alibaba remains broadly constructive, with a series of upward price target revisions anchored in improving cloud and artificial intelligence monetization, partly offset by concerns around near term profitability in quick commerce and customer management revenue.

UNH: Margin Recovery And Policy Risks Will Shape Earnings Trajectory

Analysts have raised their fair value estimate for UnitedHealth Group from $198.00 to approximately $304.61 as they factor in a sector wide margin recovery in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, improved pricing discipline at Optum Health, and a higher forward price to earnings multiple reflecting expectations for significant EPS growth in the coming years. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on UnitedHealth Group reflects a generally constructive outlook on earnings recovery and valuation, but with a growing emphasis on execution risk around Medicare Advantage repricing, regulatory changes, and the pace of Optum margin normalization.

Analysts have modestly trimmed their Tesla price target to approximately $391 per share, reflecting slightly higher discount rates and marginally lower long term growth and margin assumptions, even as they continue to see meaningful upside from AI, autonomy and energy storage over time. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Tesla reflects a wide dispersion of views, with some firms leaning into the company’s AI and robotics optionality while others remain focused on execution risk in the core auto and capital intensity of the growth agenda.
