3 Trending Stocks Wall Street Just Rated Strong Buy

three trending stocks, three strong buy ratings. Today, we're taking a look at a few companies that have been on the move since their recent earnings report, and Wall Street analysts are weighing in. So, let's get into it. All right, guys. Welcome back. Thank you all so much for being here. Today, we're diving in to three of the best rated stocks in the last 72 hours. All three of these companies are picking up a strong by consensus from Wall Street and just recently reported earnings. So, we're going to take a look at these companies, what it is that they do, what we learned from their latest earnings report, and of course, what Wall Street has to say. I found these companies on Tip Rank's trending stocks page found underneath the research tools menu. Here, I narrowed in on the best rated over the last 72 hours to get our list of stocks below.

Now, let's dive right in. First on the list, we're looking at Cortiva. They trade under the ticker CTVA. Currently priced at nearly $77 per share. The stock is up 5% in the past year, but down 9% in the last three months and dropped off about 13% following their earnings last week. Cortiva is one of the largest pure play agricultural companies in the world. Spun off from Dow Deont back in 2019. It operates in two core businesses, seeds, including corn, soybeans, and more, and crop protection, meaning the herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides farmers use to protect their crops. They compete directly with giants like Bayer and Senta. And right now, Cortiva is in the process of splitting itself into two separate companies, one for seeds and one for crop protection, a separation targeted to close around October 1st. The company just shared their Q2 earnings report last week on July 29th, and as you saw, the stock did sell off following. These soft spots in the report were crop protection pricing being under pressure especially in Brazil where tighter farmer credit is delaying orders and management is guiding to a normal seasonal Ebida loss in the third quarter. There were highlights however including Cortiva raising their fullear guidance now expecting Ebida of 4.1 to 4.3 billion and earnings per share to grow roughly 9 to 11%. Their first half sales grew 4% and margins expanded almost 200 basis points, helped by a fast growing licensing business and new crop protection products. Despite the stock selling off after their Q2 report, we've actually had a lot of Wall Street analysts reiterate buy ratings, and many of them actually increase their price targets as well, including a five-star analyst from Capital. They said that the market's negative reaction to the Q2 results is overdone. They add that it remains constructive on VOR and new Cortiva on opportunities around a better egg dynamic, the various pipelines and multiple arbitrage. With 14 current analyst ratings, the Cortiva stock comes in as a strong buy with 11 buys and three holds. The average price target comes in at $94 per share, implying an upside potential of nearly 22%. Looking at the ratings down below, on the low end, we do have a hold with an upside of 7.65% 65% and our high-end price target has an upside of over 33%. Our second trending stock is Invent Electric, trading under the ticker NVT. They're currently priced at 162 per share. We did chat about this one last fall around October and November, and it has gained 77% in the past year, but has cooled off more recently, down 6% in the last 3 months. Invent specializes in electrical connection and protection equipment, making the electrical enclosures, connectors, and thermal management systems that protect and cool critical infrastructure. Spun off from Pentare in 2018, Invent has become one of the more direct beneficiaries of the AI buildout, supplying the liquid cooling and power management equipment that data centers need to actually run. While the stock is down a bit still over the last few months, it did gain over 12% since sharing their Q2 report on July 30th after they posted a blowout quarter. Revenue hit a record 1.47 billion, up 53% year-over-year, and adjusted earnings per share jumped 69% to $145. Data center sales are now expected to hit $2 billion for the full year, more than double last year. and management raised fullear earnings per share guidance sharply now $5 to $10 implying roughly 50% growth. There were some low lightss though in the quarter including tariff expenses now expecting to be about a h 100red million up from an earlier 80 million estimate and data center orders being large and lumpy creating some quartertoquarter unpredictability. And following this earnings report, we did see a wave of Wall Street analysts increasing their price targets, including a five-star analyst from Seapport Research. They bumped up their price target by $25, noting Invent remains a top pick as it is expected to generate well above peer organic sales and earnings growth. With 13 analysts currently weighing in on the Invent stock, it does come in as a unanimous strong buy. The average price target is $211, implying an upside potential of 30%. Looking at the ratings down below, they range from an upside of 20% up to 38 1.5%. If you've made it all the way to our third stock today, then this is a reminder to make sure you've hit that thumbs up button. Last but not least, we're looking at NASDAQ. They trade under the ticker MTZ, currently priced at $270 per share. This is another company we've touched on before around last fall or winter. It is up 47% in the past year but cooling off more recently down 40% in the last 3 months and the stock has dipped 16% following its earnings report. MAZDC is one of the largest infrastructure construction companies in the country. They are the contractor building and maintaining wireless and wline telecom networks, power transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines and renewable energy projects. If it's physical infrastructure going into the ground or up on a pole or tower, there's a good chance that Masc is one of the crews building it. Now, MASD came out with a record quarter last week, but the stock has sold off. So, obviously, there were some weak spots. That included a meaningful portion of their recent backlog growth being timed to 2027 rather than 2026. and their communication segment is seeing near-term softness as wireless carriers delay site work tied to new equipment, but management does expect that to normalize. On the positive side, they did post record revenue up 23% and adjusted earnings per share up 49%. And that backlog did hit an all-time high of 21.4 billion, up 30% year-over-year, giving strong visibility into future work. Management raised fullear guidance across revenue, Ebida, and earnings per share and just closed the acquisition of Superior Group, adding data center and missionritical construction capabilities. Following the report, plenty of Wall Street analysts have reiterated buy ratings on the stock, but they've also been lowering price targets. They noted that the company reported an okay Q2, but forward guidance on comms and an uncertain pace of recovery in 2027 led to last week's market reaction. While disappointing since Masttec has been firing on all cylinders, Key Bank sees Comm's delays as isolated from the rest of the business which are showing strong results. They're optimistic on WLine returning to growth in early 2027. And while they may be lowering price targets, 17 analysts all agree that the NASDAQ stock remains a buy and their average price target of $451 implies an upside potential of 66.5%. Looking at those ratings down below, we can see a lot of the lowered price targets, but still double-digit upside ranging from 25% all the way up to 84%. So, that is a quick look at three strong bytrending stocks, all on the move following their earnings report, both up and down.
