DA Davidson upgraded Monday.com (MNDY) to Buy from Neutral with a $350 price target.

Top 5 Downgrades:
-
H.C. Wainwright downgraded Sutro Biopharma (STRO) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $2, down from $12, after the company announced a strategic realignment focused on advancing its next-generation antibody-drug conjugate pipeline while deprioritizing luvelta due to financial constraints.
-
Wells Fargo downgraded TriplePoint Venture (TPVG) to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $6.50, down from $7.50. The firm sees increased potential for a dividend cut in 2026 despite TriplePoint's just-recent lowering from 40c to 30c in Q2.
-
Wells Fargo downgraded FS KKR Capital (FSK) to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $19, down from $21. While the dividend is poised to draw on FS KKR's "outsized" spillover balance through 2025, the resulting net asset value decline and uncertainty over its 2026 payout are likely to weigh on the stock's valuation, the firm tells investors in a research note.
-
Wells Fargo downgraded Cion Investment (CION) to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $10, down from $11. The firm cites the company's increased likelihood of a base dividend cut in 2025 for the downgrade.
-
Evercore ISI downgraded EastGroup Properties (EGP) to In Line from Outperform with a price target of $185, up from $181. The firm says that while EastGroup's shallow bay industrial portfolio remains well leased at 97% and demand still remains solid despite tariff concerns, the implied share upside is limited based on the stock's $180 closing price on Friday.
