Strong Buy Stocks from Top Wall Street Analysts

Latest stocks with a Strong Buy rating from the top performing 25% of analysts tracked by WallStreetZen

Piper Sandler's Bill Carcache upgraded their rating on Block (NYSE: XYZ) from Strong Sell to Strong Buy on 2026/06/30. The analyst also raised their price target by 72.4% from $58 to $100.

Upgrading the stock and raising Piper Sandler's price target on Block after launching Consumer Finance sector coverage, Carcache said they are taking a "selectively constructive" view of the group.

The analyst detailed that the stocks they graded Strong Buy offer one, more, or all of (1) "durable" network activity, (2) customer engagement, (3) credit discipline, (4) capital returns, (5) operating leverage, and (6) earnings "scaling into share appreciation without requiring broad multiple expansion."

Investor concerns regarding the space are legitimate, Carcache acknowledged, because:

• Network volume growth has converged closer to the PCE price index.
• Card issuers remain exposed to labor-market deterioration.
• Digital payments monetization is under pressure.

That said, however, the analyst said, valuation compression in the group "has been broad" even though earnings expectations "remain resilient across much of our portfolio."
