Wall Street's getting selective—and these two names just made the cut.
Wedbush's latest move signals where smart money's flowing in tech's turbulent waters. The firm's analysts are putting their reputation behind two standout performers while the broader market waffles.
Why These Picks Matter Now
Market volatility's shaking out weak hands, but these stocks show fundamental strength that cuts through the noise. They're not just riding trends—they're building durable moats while competitors scramble.
The analysts didn't just pick random names. They bypassed flashy hypetrains for companies with actual revenue streams and scalable models. Refreshing, given how many firms still chase 'story stocks' without substance.
Timing Is Everything
These additions come as institutional investors rotate out of overvalued sectors into tech with tangible growth pathways. The picks reflect a shift toward companies that actually turn a profit—what a concept in today's market.
One cynical take? Wedbush probably needed something to justify those fat research fees after missing last year's crypto rally. But credit where it's due—their track record suggests these aren't just throwaway recommendations.
Bottom line: When a major firm stakes its 'Best Ideas' list on specific names, it's worth attention. These picks could define the next wave of tech outperformance—or become another footnote in Wall Street's endless hype cycle.
What Else Is on the Wedbush List?
Wedbush said Palo Alto Networks is likely to get a boost from broader demand trends for cybersecurity as AI-driven threats proliferate, and could be poised to grow market share with its attempts to become a "one-stop shop" for clients, and recent acquisition of password management provider CyberArk.
The company, the analysts wrote, "will be a Core benefit of this next wave of tech spending and the CyberArk deal was a home run transaction that the Street is still not fully digesting in our view," Wedbush said.
Wedbush's list features 12 other stocks: Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Tesla (TSLA), Western Digital (WDC), Check Point Software (CHKP), IBM (IBM), Imax (IMAX), Pegasystems (PEGA), Roblox (RBLX), Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO), and argenxSE (ARGX).
The list, Wedbush said, ROSE more than 14% through the end of August, outpacing the S&P 500's roughly 11% gain. Shares of MongoDB added close to 36% over the same period, while Palo Alto Networks gained about 5%.
