Outperform

Reason

Raymond James raised the firm's price target on Lumen to $5 from $4.50 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Lumen continues to move ahead with a series of small victories, adding in new deals on the private connectivity fabric structures for the AI long haul builds, and raising guidance, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While they may not win every ancillary adjacent route, Lumen has a "preferred seat at the table" when their AI partners look to expand off their fiber duct lease, Raymond James argues.

Buy

Reason

BofA raised the firm's price target on Dycom (DY) to $250 from $210 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after fiscal Q1 results that beat BofA and the Street estimates in part due to outsized revenues from the company's Black and Veatch acquisition in 2024. Dycom remains exposed to multiple long-term vectors, which continue to grow, says BofA, which views the AT&T (T) and Lumen (LUMN) transaction positively for Dycom and says the stock remains the analyst's top 2025 SMID cap pick.
