Wall Street analysts have shown renewed optimism for several companies this week, issuing "buy" recommendations for Shopify (SHOP), Spotify (SPOT), and Estee Lauder (EL), according to thefly.com. However, retail investor sentiment towards these stocks remains mixed, indicating a potential divergence in market outlook.Shopify: E-commerce Giant Back in Favor<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SHOP"><img style="aspect-ratio:1320/310;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/SHOP_Stocktwits_sentiment_Jul_26_90a2181b97.png" alt="SHOP Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26.png" width="1320" height="310"></a><figcaption>SHOP Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26</figcaption></figure>KeyBanc's Overweight rating and $80 price target for Shopify has reignited investor interest in the e-commerce platform. The firm's bullish stance is based on Shopify's strong market position and growth potential. While retail investor sentiment on Stocktwits has improved to bullish levels (55/100) from a bearish score (43/100) a week ago, the stock has faced headwinds from the broader tech sell-off, declining 4.7% in the past five days.&nbsp;Shopify is set to announce second-quarter results next month, with analysts expecting earnings per share (EPS) of $0.21. The company has beaten profit estimates for the past four quarters straight.Spotify Faces Retail Indifference<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPOT"><img style="aspect-ratio:1316/316;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/SPOT_Stocktwits_sentiment_Jul_26_8823dca30d.png" alt="SPOT Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26.png" width="1316" height="316"></a><figcaption>SPOT Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26</figcaption></figure>Goldman Sachs' upgrade of Spotify to ‘Buy’ and an increased price target of $425 have failed to excite retail investors. Despite the firm's confidence in Spotify's leadership position in audio streaming, retail sentiment remains neutral at 45/100 on Stocktwits, the same as it was a week ago. While the stock has seen a recent surge of 8%, it retreated slightly on Friday, suggesting potential profit-taking.&nbsp;However, CEO Daniel Ek and interim CFO Ben Kung’s hint at the possibility of more price increases, after the strategy did not result in subscriber loss or revenue decline in the last quarter, could spark retail enthusiasm. Messages on Stocktwits indicated that many bullish SPOT followers were looking forward to the stock breaching the $350 level soon.Estee Lauder: Caution Persists<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EL"><img style="aspect-ratio:1324/308;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/EL_Stocktwits_sentiment_Jul_26_4f9c4c7b0e.png" alt="EL Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26.png" width="1324" height="308"></a><figcaption>EL Stocktwits sentiment Jul 26</figcaption></figure>RBC Capital's Outperform rating and $131 price target for Estee Lauder reflect a belief that the company's earnings and investor sentiment have bottomed out. However, retail investors remain skeptical, with a bearish sentiment score (41/100) on Stocktwits amid low message volumes. The company's previous revenue guidance cut due to macroeconomic pressures, particularly in China, continues to weigh on investor confidence.&nbsp;Adding to the pessimism earlier this month were Helen of Troy executives saying in a post-earnings call that consumers are stretched and choosing essential spending over discretionary items. Latest U.S. economic data showing an improvement in personal spending and income in June offer much-needed hopes. But for now, retail investors are sticking with corporate commentary.

On Thursday, Spotify, Lockheed Martin and Ionia Pharmaceuticals witnessed upgrades by well-known brokerage firms. Here’s a look at how retail investors are reacting to the news:1. Spotify: Goldman Sachs has reportedly upgraded&nbsp;Spotify&nbsp;to ‘Buy’ from ‘Neutral’ while raising the price target to $425, up from the earlier target of $320. Goldman believes Spotify is the clear global audio platform leader and this could translate into compounded user growth, rising engagement, and pricing power. Spotify recently reported an upbeat set of numbers with earnings per share (EPS) coming in at €1.33, higher than a Street estimate of €1.05. Revenue came in at €3.81 billion during the second quarter, marginally lower than an estimate of €3.82 billion. Premium revenue came in at €3.35 billion, higher than an estimate of €3.34 billion. Despite the upgrade, retail investors are undecided on the stock with the sentiment meter trending in the neutral zone (50/100).<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:796/235;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_24_at_11_48_15_AM_3ec5ba958d.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in the neutral zone for Spotify despite an upgrade" width="796" height="235"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in the neutral zone for Spotify despite an upgrade</figcaption></figure>2. Lockheed Martin: TD Cowen reportedly upgraded&nbsp;the stock&nbsp;to ‘Buy’ from ‘Hold’ while increasing the price target of $560 from an earlier target of $480. TD Cowen believes Lockheed’s strong Q2 and F-35 delivery restart provides better visibility of 5% sales gains, along with improvement in margin and rising cash flow through 2026. On Tuesday, Lockheed reported net sales of&nbsp;$18.1 billion, compared to&nbsp;$16.7 billion&nbsp;in the second quarter of 2023. Net earnings came in at&nbsp;$1.6 billion, or&nbsp;$6.85&nbsp;per share, compared to&nbsp;$1.7 billion, or&nbsp;$6.63&nbsp;per share, in the second quarter of 2023.&nbsp;Shares of the firm gained nearly 6% in the last five days. Retail investors are optimistic about the stock, with the sentiment meter trending in the bullish territory (66/100) supported by extremely high message volume.3. Ionis Pharmaceuticals: Leerink Partners has reportedly upgraded&nbsp;Ionis Pharmaceuticals&nbsp;to ‘Outperform’ from ‘Market Perform’ while raising the price target to $62 from the earlier target of $53. The upgrade comes after Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced positive results for its Angelman syndrome drug. The firm said it is looking forward to collaborating with investigators, regulators and members of the Angelman syndrome community to initiate Phase 3 development for its drug in the first half of 2025. Despite the upgrade and the positive results, retail investors appear to be undecided on the stock with the sentiment meter trending in the neutral territory (52/100) on Wednesday.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:796/231;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_24_at_11_50_08_AM_6caa3c3407.png" alt="Retail sentiment trends in the neutral zone for Ionis Pharmaceuticals" width="796" height="231"><figcaption>Retail sentiment trends in the neutral zone for Ionis Pharmaceuticals</figcaption></figure>Photo Courtesy: Samuel Regan-Asante on Unsplash
