HC Wainwright & Co. Reiterates Buy on Akero Therapeutics, Maintains $50 Price Target

Wells Fargo &amp; Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) fourth-quarter results sent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43012145/whats-going-on-with-american-express-shares-wednesday">banking stocks surging on Wednesday</a>.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods On Wells Fargo
Analyst David Konrad maintained a Market Perform rating, while raising the price target from $81 to $86.
The highlight of Wells Fargo's performance in the fourth quarter was the 4% sequential growth in non-interest-bearing deposits, "which funded modest loan growth as well as reduced borrowings," Konrad said in a note. The company is "transitioning from cutting costs to revenue growth," he added.
What won the day was Well Fargo's NII (net interest income) growth outlook for 2025 of between 1% and 3%, which was much better than expected, the analyst stated. He raised his earnings estimates for 2025, 2026 and 2027 by 16 cents to $5.80 per share, by 15 cents to $7.00 per share and by 20 cents to $8.15 per share, respectively.

Goldman Sachs On Wells Fargo
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/595e3a7c988ca80001dc7d9c/richard-ramsden">Analyst Richard Ramsden</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $77 to $83.
Although Wells Fargo reported its fourth-quarter earnings at $1.43 per share, beating consensus of $1.36 per share, its core earnings, after excluding one-time items, missed expectations, Ramsden said.
Despite projecting NII growth, management guided to expenses of $54.2 billion for 2025, which represents a decline of around $400 million versus last year and missed the Street's expectations of $54.4 billion, the analyst stated. "Absolute $ expense reductions were attributed to lower operating losses, lower severance expense, and efficiency gains, partially offset by higher revenue-related expense and higher investments, including in technology," he further wrote.
Truist Securities On Wells Fargo
Analyst John McDonald reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $82.
Wells Fargo's 2025 NII growth outlook reflects sequentially flat net interest income in the first half of the year, despite two fewer days in the first quarter, McDonald said. Sequential growth is expected in the back half, he added.
The outlook assumes up to two interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as well as low-to-mid single-digit percentage average loan growth, which is expected to pick up in mid-2025, the analyst stated. "Management expects absolute growth in consumer deposits in 2025, with product mix also expected to stabilize alongside continued slowdown in pricing pressures," he further wrote.
WFC Price Action: Shares of Wells Fargo was down 0.75% to $75.38 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Carvana Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) stock is up over 8.4% at last check Thursday, bringing its price to over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA/news">$232 a share</a>.
Just two weeks ago, the used car retailer was reeling from accusations of fraudulent accounting, thanks to a scathing report from short-seller Hindenburg Research. Today, its share price is accelerating upwards like it&#8217;s on a joyride.
It&#8217;s worth noting that Carvana's stock spiked 428.75% in the past year. Last month? Not so much—it was down 12.57%.
Hindenburg Research, infamous for calling out the likes of Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>) and Adani Group, alleged that Carvana had questionable financials. The firm&#8217;s founder, Nate Anderson, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/43017547/hindenburg-research-is-closing-up-shop-we-shook-some-empires-that-we-felt-needed-shaking">just announced Hindenburg's closure</a>—two weeks after its Carvana report. 
But that hasn't stopped Carvana's stock from surging today, buoyed by optimism.

The online retailer, known for buying and selling used cars, is trading above its eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages (SMAs). This signals the potential for more upward momentum. The 50-day SMA, however, is waving a red flag with its bearish signal at $233.22. The 200-day SMA, way lower at $159.01, however infuses long-term optimism for Carvana stock.
Carvana&#8217;s MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator is waving another red flag at a negative 8.05, while its RSI (relative strength index) sits in the neutral territory at 55.48, indicating there&#8217;s room for more gain before Carvana stock becomes overbought.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hindenburg Bump</h2>
What's particularly eyebrow-raising is that the stock is still rallying despite the accusations of accounting manipulation and insider selling. Hindenburg Research claimed to have uncovered $800 million in shady loan sales and pointed to Carvana's astronomical valuation compared to rivals like CarMax and AutoNation.
And still, the stock is up.
Carvana, for its part, is standing firm, dismissing Hindenburg's claims as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42769626/hindenburg-shorts-carvana-stock-claims-used-car-retailers-turnaround-is-a-mirage">misleading and inaccurate</a>." And perhaps that confidence is rubbing off on investors, who seem to believe the worst may be behind the company after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36923428/carvana-plans-turnaround-with-strategic-restructuring-stock-rebound-and-debt-overhaul-report">its brush with bankruptcy</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
With Carvana's RSI sitting at a neutral 55.48, it's anyone's guess whether today's rally signals the start of a long recovery.
Technicals suggest it could be bullish based on recent moving averages, but the looming specter of Hindenburg's allegations and the company's shaky fundamentals leave many wondering if this is a mirage.
