Stock futures tick higher on Tuesday morning

Shares of Zoom Video fell about 9% in premarket trading after delivering weak guidance for the fourth quarter.

The video conferencing company reported a better-than-expected $1.07 in adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter, but that didn’t win over Wall Street analysts. Several cut their price targets for Zoom last night and this morning.

“We struggle to find a near-term upside catalyst, with the Online business likely pressured the next several quarters, and our estimates implying further downside risk to street revenue numbers from here,” wrote Deutsche Bank analyst Matthew Niknam, who lowered his price target on the stock to $75 per share from $95.

Piper Sandler, MoffettNathanson, Mizuho, UBS and Wells Fargo also cut their price targets on Zoom Video.

MoffettNathanson analyst Sterling Auty, in lowering his price target to $80 from $85, said Zoom’s “turn is still quarters away.”

“There are breadcrumbs being laid to get a sense of when the overall growth of the business might inflect, and, if all goes well, that is still three quarters into the future. However, it is not completely clear if a worsening macro environment (layoffs) would extend the timeline to a turn, or just result in a lower growth rate prior to the turn,” Auty said in a note to clients.

One of the top strategists on Wall Street says the next boom cycle for stocks won’t look like the top-heavy run of the last decade but instead be a rich environment for stock pickers.

Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Mike Wilson said Tuesday that, while he expects the S&P 500 to fall from here before bottoming in 2023, stocks are starting to separate from one another in a preview of the next sustained rally.

“Probably one of the most bullish things we see going forward is it’s not going to be a stock market of 10 stocks any more. There’s going to be more opportunities. It’s going to be more democratic across the stock market,” Wilson said on “Squawk Box.”

“That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy as a stock picker, but there’s going to be many more participants. The breadth is improving. And that’s what we’re seeing,” he added.

Wilson released his 2023 outlook last week. Read more about his forecast on CNBC Pro.

Best Buy shares popped more than 7% in the premarket after the electronics retailer hiked its fiscal 2023 outlook.

“We are updating our FY23 outlook to flow through our better-than-expected Q3 results while keeping our Q4 expectations unchanged,” CFO Matt Bilunas said. “We now expect comparable sales to decline approximately 10% and our non-GAAP operating income rate² to be slightly higher than 4.0%.”

The company also posted fiscal third-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analyst expectations.

Analysts continued bailing on Carvana, with Cowen being the latest firm to downgrade the used car seller. Cowen lowered its rating on the stock to market perform from outperform and slashed its price target to $10 from $55.

“CVNA has not met ’22 profit targets while carrying a significant debt load,” the firm wrote, adding that it now estimates the company won’t achieve EBITDA profitability until 2024. “Overall, we are less confident in CVNA’s timeline for reaching positive free cash flow.”

Carvana shares have plummeted 97% in 2022.
