Nintendo has postponed preorders for the Switch 2, originally set for April 9, 2025, due to concerns over the impact of trade tariffs. The console's launch date remains June 5, while its retail price of $449.99 has contributed to a decline in the company's shares following the announcement.
UBS analyst John Hodulik has maintained a Neutral rating on Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) with a price target of $45.00. The company has introduced a 3-year price lock for postpaid wireless customers and a "Free Phone Guarantee" to enhance subscriber performance, following previous initiatives aimed at revitalizing its Consumer wireless business. These strategies are expected to improve customer acquisition and reduce churn, aligning with the company's guidance for 2025.

Barclays has maintained an Overweight rating on Walmart Inc. with a $108 price target, anticipating the upcoming investment community meeting will highlight the retailer's market share gains and strong financial performance. Despite tariff challenges, Walmart's strategic cost management and e-commerce growth position it well for continued success, supported by a $6 billion investment plan in Mexico aimed at expanding its presence and creating jobs. Analysts from DA Davidson and Jefferies also reaffirmed their Buy ratings, with price targets of $117 and $120, respectively.
Barclays has raised its price target on Conagra Brands to $29 from $27 while maintaining an overweight rating.

Barclays maintains a "neutral" stance on European small- and mid-caps, initiating coverage on Italy's De' Longhi and TechnoGym amid favorable stock-picking conditions influenced by U.S. tariffs. De' Longhi is rated "underweight" due to significant tariff risks and potential cash depletion from M&A activities, while TechnoGym is rated "equal-weight" with limited tariff exposure, as only 10% of its sales are to the U.S. Barclays' top picks include D'Ieteren, Biomerieux, and SIG Group, noted for their resilience to macroeconomic shocks.
