The futures were trading decidedly lower Wednesday morning as investors are digesting what has become a very overbought stock market, which included yet another intraday all-time high, this time on the S&P 500. Top analysts on Wall Street are starting to point to “bubble” type metrics and are urging caution. With fourth-quarter earnings reports continuing to stream in, most across Wall Street will not only be examining the results but also looking to see what guidance for the first quarter and the rest of 2021 looks like. With all the major indexes and the Russell 2000 still very close to all-time highs, it makes sense for investors to start building some cash reserves while repositioning portfolios for 2021.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week with a goal of finding new ideas for investors and traders alike. Some of these daily analyst calls cover stocks to buy. Other calls cover stocks to sell or avoid. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock. Consensus analyst target data is from Refinitiv.

A market sell-off is probably coming, perhaps a fast and furious 10% or even 20% drop. Typically, sin stocks are able to hold their own when that happens, and BofA Securities has four that could be just the ticket for worried investors.

Tuesday’s early top analyst upgrades and downgrades included Activision Blizzard, Bank of America, Dollar General, DraftKings, Electronic Arts, Micron Technology and Microsoft. Analyst calls made later in the day featured Applied Materials, Apache, Bed Bath & Beyond, Palo Alto Networks and more.
