Oracle Corp. (NYSE) ORCL Loading USD After almost doubling its market value from peaks of 2021 up to fresh all-time highs on December 8, 2024, Oracle stock was traded with a nearly 22% discount in mid-January 2025 compared to its levels of mid-December 2024. The creator of Java programming language and MySQL open source database, Oracle now builds and delivers the cloud software that runs the modern world. Its equity per share added 63% on revenue rising 45% from $9.6 billion to $14.1 billion QoQ for the last 5 years. In 2024, Oracle marked its best stock performance since 1999, and it was mostly bold capex plans and slightly lower cloud services revenue projection, which led to price corrections. Average analyst price target is more than 25% upside, with the next earnings date to potentially improve the sentiment being scheduled on March 13.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ) AMD Loading USD AMD can't match NVIDIA's reach in the AI chip market niche. Yet, sentiment indicators from the Wall Street analyst pool shows a 52% upside potential to reach above $175 per share at some point once again. The relative volatility of AMD stock is higher than for many other AI sphere suppliers. As an example, its share price just made the whole way from below $100 in November 2023 to above $227 in March 2024, then adjusted to nearly $120 in August, came back to nearly $175 again within two months and later dropped to current levels between $115 and $120. "There and Back Again" is probably a proper motto to win a bigger treasure for AMD investors who need to be careful because of wave-like dynamics of this potential goldmine.

Adobe, Inc. (NASDAQ) ADBE Loading USD Adobe stock was one of most convincing winners of the AI era dawn, when it managed to improve its previous $325 to $400 price range in the first months of 2023 to achievements well above $500 in mid-summer already, and then jumping as high as $638.25 in February 2024. The introduction of artificial intelligence to its famous products like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop could be very impressive for the general public, yet the giant software developer seemingly had unexpected headwinds in the phase of monetization these features. By the way, Adobe showed its ever-best EPS (equity per share) at $4.81 on all-time record sales of more than $5.6 billion in its December report for Q3 2024. This means a 12.6% growth in profits and an 11% surplus in terms of revenue. Sounds great, yet the stock immediately shifted into a 25% correction to touch its 52-week low at $404 this January, all because some slower subscription spending forecast which led to adjusted annual revenue projections for fiscal 2025 between $23.30 billion and $23.55 billion vs preliminary estimates of $23.78 billion. This seems quite a sufficient payment for such a small and quite correctable flaw.

Target Corp. (NYSE) TGT Loading USD Target retailer got its minute of poor fame in the course of a severe sell-off on the night of November 20, 2024, following an epic fail in its quarterly results. Yet, a nearly 23% drop in one trading session was seemingly a surprising result of a one-off fault in systematic improving earnings in previous periods. Target to maintain and even grow its loyal customer base during Black Friday, Cyber Monday and in the Christmas time. Those visitors didn't give Target enough income in those days and weeks, but will come spend their bonus points to proper monetize their positive holiday experience later. The accumulating, albeit deferred, optimism has already been reflected in the rise in Target's stock price from a bottom of about $120 to $140 by January 10. A retest of lower price areas cannot be excluded, yet a potential return to levels above $160 is probably seen within months, with keeping in mind even a $181.86 annual high in 2024, which may add a nearly 33% to the value of the U.S. seven-largest retailer at a somewhat more distant point.

Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE) LLY Loading USD The maker of best-selling drugs for diabetes, weight loss and a range of cancers, which have been approved in the US, Europe and Japan, has been a market darling since 2022. Its market value has approximately quadrupled, just a couple of steps shy of $1,000 per share last fall. Now it is trading below $750, which can be considered a kind of market misunderstanding. Discount prices of 25% or more for Eli Lilly stocks are unlikely to last much longer, as this unusual situation largely appeared due to logistical errors in the distribution tactics, and not strategical mistakes, concerning the balance between North-American and Asian markets. This does not seem to be related to the actual lack of demand for Mounjaro or its analogues like Zepbound, with the same active ingredients, that can be used to get rid of excess weight. Sales of the products, and therefore the company's profits, took off more slowly than many expected, quarterly sales were "only" $11.44 billion, instead of the highly expected $12 billion, but the incident still happened within just one quarter. The problem may drag on for another quarter, but unlikely more. Spending for building bigger plants and acquisitions of smaller but useful competitors, including Morphic Holding, a developer of drugs to fight inflammatory bowel disease with a market valued at about $22 billion, could bring even more additional money down the line.

Description

What happened was these businesses had a similar background of partially losing their positive momentum for only a couple of months or maybe a quarter, but their mid-term potential still looks very strong. The overall dynamics in 2024 on Wall Street was so bullish regarding further prospects of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices. Excited stock crowds just had exaggerated expectations ahead of the last corporate earnings season, especially for leading movers in the AI universe. In particular, even new record numbers in profit and revenue lines were not enough for resetting new price peaks on charts. On other occasions, the beating waves of profit taking let the stock down following a rather impaired inner outlook for the first half of this coming year. A cautious approach towards some companies own projections for the start of 2025 make headway against their further rise for a while, even when there was no signs of actual weaknesses over the previous year of 2024. Therefore, the Wall Street consensus on target areas by analyst pool from market-making funds are still substantially higher then current prices for each company.
