Check out today's top analyst calls from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly. MACQUARIE CUTS TWITTER TO NEUTRAL: Macquarie analyst Benjamin Schachter downgraded Twitter (TWTR) to Neutral from Outperform, citing concerns about MAU trends, what he views as a limited set of near-term catalysts, and a valuation he believes will likely limit upside from current levels. GOLDMAN SAYS SELL CLOROX: Goldman Sachs analyst Jason English downgraded Clorox (CLX) to Sell from Neutral and cut his price target for the shares to $112 from $127. The analyst reduced his estimates for the company to reflect a combination of a lower volume forecast, lower gross margin expectation and renewed currency headwinds. English sees an "unsustainably high relative valuation" for Clorox. PIPER RAISES AMAZON TARGET: Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson raised his price target on Amazon.com (AMZN) to $2,075 from $1,850 and kept his Overweight rating ahead of its Q2 results. Olson noted that his search index suggests that unit growth will be up 19% -- in line with Q1 and just below consensus for the online segment. The analyst added, however, that his CIO survey suggests intentions to accelerate spending, stating that the AWS segment and other segment revenue is likely to post an upside. Olson is positive on the Amazon stock amid a "plethora of topline tailwinds and potential return to margin expansion" in the second half of this year. CITI SAYS NVIDIA COULD SELL OFF: Citi analyst Atif Malik said his recent supply chain checks indicate discrete graphics gaming demand is expected to remain sluggish thru the September quarter, and believes Nvidia (NVDA) could selloff in the near-term on weaker than expected graphics commentary. Malik, however, kept a Buy rating on Nvidia with a $300 price target, believing his long-term thesis on the shares remains intact. COMERICA UP TO OUTPERFORM: Evercore ISI analyst John Pancari upgraded Comerica (CMA) to Outperform from In Line and increased his price target to $107 from $97 following the Q2 report. Pancari said he expects earnings growth to outpace peers while returns continue to strengthen, supported by a favorable positioning for higher short-term rates, ongoing efficiency improvement, and intact credit.

In a post to its website, Amazon staff said, "Later this year, Amazon customers in the West Valley Phoenix Metro Area can receive Prime Air drone deliveries from our Tolleson, AZ Same-Day Delivery site. Since starting drone delivery in College Station, Texas and Lockeford, California in 2022, we've delivered thousands of items to customers in less than an hour. Last year we also began delivering prescription medications in partnership with Amazon Pharmacy to customers in College Station. We've received great feedback from customers and communities as we've rolled out the service. We're now adding a new location and entering into the next stage of the program's evolution. Later this year, drone deliveries are coming to the West Valley of the Phoenix Metro Area in Arizona...As we look to the future and prioritize our resources to continue growing the program, we've also made the decision to close our delivery site in Lockeford. We'll offer all current employees opportunities at other sites, and will continue to serve customers in Lockeford with other delivery methods. We want to thank the community for all their support and feedback over the past few years. We'll continue delivering in College Station, Texas and will open further U.S. locations in 2025."

Truist lowered the firm's price target on Comerica to $60 from $62 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note recapping Q1 earnings among Community and Regional Banks. The firm's updated model for Fed funds rate forecast calls for zero cuts in 2024 and four 25bps cuts in 2025 from three in 2023 and 2024 previously, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist is also cutting its FY24 and FY25 EPS on the bank to $5.07 and $6.40 from $5.16 and $6.34, with estimate revisions primarily driven by higher net interest margins and offset partially by lower fee income and higher operating expenses in 2024.
