Analysts&#39; sentiment is important in determining the right time to buy stock. However, the trend in sentiment and coverage is more important than the consensus rating. A Moderate Buy or Buy rating doesn&#39;t mean as much if recent revisions include downgrades, price target revisions, and lapsed coverage. Those are headwinds for stock prices that can signal a top and a high potential for bearish reversals. A stock with a consensus rating of sell with recent upgrades and price target increases would be a better choice; those are tailwinds that can help a market bottom and enter a bullish reversal.&nbsp;
Increasing analyst coverage is another tailwind for stock prices because growing coverage equates to growing inflows of investor money. The stocks in this article are attracting new coverage, and upgrades and revisions support their markets. Because Chewy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chwy#NYSE">CHWY</a>) and Gitlab (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtlb#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) are leaders in their respective fields, the odds are high that their stock prices will follow the analysts&#39; lead and move higher.&nbsp;
<h2>TD Cowen Takes a Bite of Chewy, Inc. Citing Long-Term Growth Potential</h2>
Chewy analysts began increasing their price targets over the summer after results outperformed expectations. MarketBeat.com tracks 22 analysts showing a high conviction in the Moderate Buy rating, with the latest price targets leading to the high-end range above the consensus estimate. The latest report initiated coverage by TD Cowen, which rated the stock at Buy with a price target of $38. The $38 is 28% above the recent action and the consensus target, which assumes fair value with the stock at around $28.50. Consensus is up 12% in the last three months and is likely to continue rising, given the revenue growth and earnings outlook.&nbsp;
Chewy&#39;s growth slowed in F2025 to the low single digits, but it was sustained and expected to continue and accelerate in F2026. Analysts forecast revenue growth to top 5% in F2026; TD Cowen forecasts acceleration to persist over the next few years and drive a 9% CAGR over the next five years. At 9%, TD Cowen&#39;s CAGR target is nearly double the forecasted industry average and will be compounded by a widening margin. The EBITDA margin is expected to double almost 8%, driving increased free cash conversion and balance sheet improvement. Drivers for growth will be an increasing customer count and revenue per customer in the retail business and deepening penetration of services tied to the pet health business.&nbsp;
Chewy&#39;s balance is in healthy condition. The company&#39;s positive cash flow business helps it maintain ultra-low debt levels, with long-term liabilities, including lease obligations, less than 1x cash and just over 1x equity. Institutional activity is also bullish for this stock. Institutions own nearly 95% of the stock and have been buying on balance in calendar 2024.&nbsp;
<img alt="Chewy CHWY stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241010075503_chart-chwy-10102024ver001.png" style="height:423px; width:917px" />
<h2>Morgan Stanley Says Gitlab Is a Key Consolidator of a Fragmented Market</h2>
Morgan Stanley initiated coverage on Gitlab at Overweight with a price target of $70, 30% above the recent price action. They view the DevSecOps platform as an emerging enterprise-quality platform and a crucial consolidator of a highly fractured market. The firm forecasts a 25% revenue CAGR for the next four years, compounded by a doubling of the&nbsp;margin as software developers lean into efficiency and security.&nbsp;
MarkeBeat.com tracks 25 analysts with high conviction in the Moderate Buy rating. The consensus target is rising, as is the number of analysts covering the stock, which has increased by 100% in the last 18 months. Consensus assumes a 23% upside from recent price action; Morgan Stanley&#39;s target adds another 600 basis points, aligning with the trend. A move to consensus would put the stock at an 8-month high.&nbsp;

Nasdaq Down 150 Points; Johnson & Johnson Reports Better-Than-Expected Q3 Results

National Health Investors (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhi#NYSE">NHI</a>) has been on a downward spiral lately with significant selling pressure. After declining 10.2% over the past four weeks, the stock looks well positioned for a trend reversal as it is now in oversold territory and there is strong agreement among Wall Street analysts that the company will report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
<h2>How to Determine if a Stock is Oversold</h2>
We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.
Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock&#39;s price is reaching a point of reversal.
So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefitting from the inevitable rebound.
However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.
<h2>Why a Trend Reversal is Due for NHI</h2>
The heavy selling of NHI shares appears to be in the process of exhausting itself, as indicated by its RSI reading of 28.46. So, the trend for the stock could reverse soon for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.
<img alt="3-month RSI Chart for NHI" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/yseop/544/NHI_RCI14.jpeg" style="height:auto; width:100%" title="" />
This technical indicator is not the only factor that calls for a potential rebound for the stock. There is a fundamental indicator as well. A strong agreement among sell-side analysts covering NHI in raising earnings estimates for the current year has led to an increase in the consensus EPS estimate by 0.1% over the last 30 days. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Moreover, NHI currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock&#39;s potential turnaround in the near term.

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher. The industry may be moving on continued strength after recent fears surrounding Hurricane Milton have curbed and fuel costs, which are a major expense for airlines, dropped in price.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan sees a rebound for China&#8217;s NEVs in the third quarter, following a weak first quarter, providing reassurance to investors concerned<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/benzinga-ev-insights" rel="noreferrer noopener"> about a potential EV slowdown.</a>
In September, China&#8217;s NEVs demonstrated growth both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, the analyst writes.
PHEVs drove the year-over-year increase with an additional 232,000 sales, while BEVs rose by 144,000. PHEVs seem to be capturing market share from BEVs, adding further competition for foreign brands like Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
The Chinese Passenger Car Association (CPCA) reported that September NEV sales reached 1.123 million, marking a 50.5% increase year-over-year, up from August&#8217;s 1.025 million and July&#8217;s 878,000.

For the third quarter, NEV sales rose 44% year-over-year, following increases of 32% and 34% in the second quarter and first quarter, respectively.
In September, PHEVs saw a 94.7% year-over-year growth, while BEVs increased by 28.8%.
The month concluded with a split of 57% BEVs and 43% PHEVs, the analyst adds.
Tesla reported 72,200 domestic retail sales in China (excluding exports) for September, reflecting a 66% year-over-year increase.
This figure is up from August&#8217;s 63,456 and July&#8217;s 46,227, aligning with the overall growth trend in the BEV market, Narayan adds.

The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been underway throughout 2024 despite many legacy technologies still undergoing normalization after a fantastic post-pandemic reopening surge in 2021. The acceleration of AI deployment is helping to lift legacy technologies like cloud computing, virtualization, networking, and hard disk drives (HDDs) as enterprises work through the inventory glut. Here are two computer and technology sector stocks that are gaining from AI demand and seeing their cloud computing and legacy businesses accelerate again.
<h2>Ciena: Cloud Providers Are Leading the AI Infrastructure Buildout &nbsp;</h2>
As a legacy technology company, Ciena Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cien#NYSE">CIEN</a>) is well known for helping build out the internet with its optical fiber and networking solutions. AI requires fast connectivity to transfer oceans of data. Ciena&#39;s products are essential for AI deployment, and data centers are a top customer. Ciena&#39;s optical transceivers enable data to be transmitted long distances at the speed of light, literally using light signals for low latency. Data center interconnect (DCI) expands beyond just within a data center but enables data to swiftly pass beyond to AI platforms, connecting multiple data centers and cloud providers.
<h3>Connecting the Cloud Giants and AI Platforms</h3>
Ciena&#39;s customers include some of the largest cloud providers like Alphabet Inc.&#39;s Google Cloud as they build out their networks to fortify capacity for the exponential growth of AI data traffic. The growth in cloud computing has enabled cloud providers to generate nearly 30% of Ciena&#39;s total revenues driven by DCI business. Enterprises are not just putting all their eggs into a single basket but instead spreading out their infrastructure to include multiple clouds and cloud providers. Ciena is a major benefactor of this trend.
<h3>Networking Platforms Grow as a Percentage of Total Revenue</h3>
Ciena impressed investors and analysts alike with its fiscal third quarter 2024 earnings report. Its Networking Platforms segment revenues rose to 74.2% of total revenue at $699.5 million. Its book-to-bill ratio exceeded one, indicating more demand than it can fulfill. Cloud providers largely drove order flow as they led the charge to build out their networks. Cloud provider infrastructure buildout includes undersea cables, long-haul routes, and data center connectivity.
The company expects fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of around $1.06 billion to $1.4 billion, which was in line with consensus estimates. The long-term compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is in the 6% to 8% range, with fiscal 2024 revenues expected to be around $4 billion.
<h2>NetApp: Riding the Hybrid Multicloud Tailwind</h2>
NetApp Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ntap#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>) provides hybrid cloud and data infrastructure software and hardware solutions. These enable companies to access and manage their data securely across all environments, such as viewing through a single pane of glass. NetApp is native to all the major cloud providers. It lets companies set up on-premise and private clouds for sensitive data and mission-critical applications and in public clouds for routine data and application management. From servers to all-flash data storage arrays, NetApp is a one-stop shop for digital transformation and cloud migration.
<h3>AI Deployment Is Revitalizing Cloud Growth</h3>
In its fiscal first quarter of 2025, NetApp reported a record non-GAAP operating margin of 26% and a record first-quarter net income of $1.56. Its first-party and marketplace cloud storage services revenues rose 40% year over year. Its Hybrid Cloud division generated $1.38 billion in revenue, up from $1.28 billion in the year-ago period. Its Public Cloud division generated $159 million in revenue, up from $154 million last year. NetApp has $3.02 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
<h3>NetApp Is Winning More Contracts and Logos&nbsp;</h3>
NetApp has won more than 50 AI and data lake modernization wins, including one of the world&#39;s largest oil and gas companies, for its AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Its all-flash storage was selected to handle its 40,000 GPUs and CPU cores, which run 3D virtualization workloads and simulations.
Another leading financial services institution selected NetApp to consolidate petabytes of data into a single data lake for AI and analytics. These workloads range from fraud detection and portfolio management to credit scoring.
<h3>More Upside to Come as NetApp Issues Upside Guidance</h3>
NetApp provided upside guidance for its fiscal second quarter of 2025, with EPS of $1.73 to $1.83 versus $1.71 consensus estimates.
Revenues are expected between $1.565 and $1.715 billion versus $1.63 billion consensus estimates.
Its fiscal full-year 2025 EPS was guided to $7.00 to $7.20 versus $6.89 consensus estimates.
Full-year revenue is expected between $6.48 billion and $6.68 billion versus $6.55 billion estimates.
