Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Risk Off Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) is a buy, adding that it is &#8220;one of the hottest stocks in the universe.&#8221;
On June 30, the space-tech company notched its fastest launch turnaround ever, completing its 68th Electron mission and signaling a new era of rapid-response rocket deployment.
He also recommended buying Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>).
Supporting his view, TD Cowen analyst Gautam Khanna, on July 10, upgraded Huntington Ingalls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HII/analyst-ratings">from Hold to Buy and raised the price target from $250 to $300.</a>
&#8220;This thing is just a coiled spring when we get the new numbers,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>). &#8220;There are many big studies coming down the pipe.&#8221;
Guggenheim analyst Seamus Fernandez, on July 11, maintained Eli Lilly with a Buy and raised the price target from $936 to $942.
When asked about TSS, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSSI#NASDAQ">TSSI</a>), he said, &#8220;That's a pretender. We want to be in CoreWeave if we're going to go there.&#8221;
On the earnings front, TSS, on May 15, reported a year-over-year increase in first-quarter revenue results.
Cramer recommended not buying Conagra Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>), saying it's a &#8220;very tough situation.&#8221;
The company, on July 10, reported adjusted earnings per share of 56 cents, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 58 cents. Quarterly net sales of $2.78 billion, missed the Street view of $2.83 billion.
Cramer recommended buying NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) on Monday morning.
Lending support to his choice, KeyBanc, on July 8, maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $240 to $275.
Power Solutions International, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSIX#NASDAQ">PSIX</a>) is an &#8220;amazing stock, it's not even that expensive,&#8221; Cramer said.
Supporting his view, the company, on May 8, reported a year-over-year increase in first-quarter financial results.

This Is 'One Of The Hottest Stocks In The Universe,' Jim Cramer Says

Bank of America dropped its top 10 stock ideas for the third quarter of 2025, and the list includes some familiar names like Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>)—but also a couple of bearish calls investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">might not see coming.</a>
While Wall Street debates rate cuts, BofA is sticking to one of the most hawkish forecasts out there: no Fed pivot until 2026. 
Next year, the central bank is expected to slash rates by 100 basis points, but until then inflation is likely to remain sticky in the second half of this year due to tariffs, limiting policy flexibility. 
This creates a trading environment where stock-specific catalysts matter more than macro tailwinds.
The updated list features eight Buy-rated stocks and two Underperform-rated names, all chosen for their potential to outperform—or underperform—due to major business or macro developments expected in the coming months.
The 8 Buys: From Aerospace to AI
1. Boeing Co. After a rough year of delays and scrutiny, BofA thinks Boeing is finally gaining altitude. "787 production is ramping, 737 deliveries are recovering, and positive changes to leadership including new CFO hire," said analyst Anthony Cassamassino. The firm sees upside as production hits 38 jets per month, and the new CFO—who came from Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) —adds stability. Bank of America set a price target of $260, which implies a 14% upside from Boeing's current price near $225.
2. Cisco Systems Inc. AI is fueling Cisco's momentum. "AI infrastructure orders YTD exceeded $1.3bn," already beating its full-year target, BofA wrote. With deep ties to Nvidia and a strong hold in enterprise switching, Cisco is positioned well as companies gear up for AI deployment. With shares trading around $68, BofA's $76 target suggests a 11% gain in the near term.
3. Datadog Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>) rounds out the AI-heavy picks. BofA likes Datadog's improving usage growth and its 8.5% AI-native revenue contribution, calling it one of the best-positioned software stocks for the next wave of generative AI adoption. BofA sees shares climbing to $150, offering about a 9% upside from the current level of $137.
4. Fair Isaac Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>). Despite some Washington noise around credit scoring, Cassamassino says, "FICO remains a best-in-class software compounder." With a $1 billion buyback plan and strong ACV growth, the firm gave a bold price target of $3,700, more than double the current price. 
5. KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>) is BofA's top value play in regional banking. A 5% yield, clean credit profile, and capital expenditure tailwinds give it a path higher. At a current price of $18.32, BofA's $20 target represents a 13% move higher.
6. Levi Strauss &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>) is on the list thanks to solid brand momentum and better-than-expected U.S. wholesale growth. "Execution remains strong across both denim and lifestyle apparel," BofA wrote. 
7. Medtronic PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) could be a breakout play if its new heart treatment technology gets greenlit. Cassamassino says approval of Pulse Field Ablation and renal denervation "could drive meaningful upside." BofA sees the stock climbing to $100, a 15% gain from its current price of $87.
8. Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>). BofA sees the company's upcoming corporate split, Superman reboot and $2 billion debt reduction as key catalysts. At just $11.73 now, the stock could rally 40% to $16, if BofA's view plays out.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bear Calls: Hims &amp; Hers and Conagra</h3>
Not every name on the list is a winner. BofA slapped Underperform ratings on two stocks it believes are overvalued or facing headwinds.
Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>) has soared on buzz around compounded weight-loss drugs, but BofA says patent risks are being ignored. "Litigation risk is underappreciated," the analysts wrote, and growth in the company's base business is slowing. Target: $28, well below the stock's recent level near $50.
Conagra Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>) is the other short idea. Cassamassino sees a soft year ahead due to "rising protein costs and elasticity in frozen." Add in margin pressure and dividend risk, and BofA is skeptical the stock holds up.

Bank Of America Loves These 8 Stocks For Third Quarter—And Says To Dump These 2 Fast

The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 56 cents, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 58 cents. Quarterly net sales of $2.78 billion, missed the Street view of $2.83 billion.

ConAgra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>) shares slid Thursday after the company posted disappointing Q4 results and issued a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46339669/conagra-brands-reports-fourth-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">cautious outlook for fiscal 2026.</a>
Conagra Brands has a diverse portfolio of popular food products, including frozen meals, snacks, and pantry staples. Some of their most recognized brands are Birds Eye, Healthy Choice, Marie Callender&#8217;s, Reddi-wip, Slim Jim, and Hunt&#8217;s.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 56 cents, missing the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">consensus estimate</a> of 58 cents. Quarterly net sales of $2.78 billion, missed the Street view of $2.83 billion.
The company reported a 4.3% decline in net sales, with organic net sales falling 3.5% year-over-year. The decrease&nbsp;in organic net sales was driven by a&nbsp;1% negative impact from price/mix and a 2.5%&nbsp;decrease in volume, primarily due to lower consumption trends.

Net sales for the Grocery &amp; Snacks segment declined 2.1% to $1.2 billion, while the Refrigerated &amp; Frozen segment saw a 4.4% drop to $1.1 billion, both on a reported and organic basis. The International segment's net sales fell 13.8% to $230 million, and the Foodservice segment recorded a 4.0% decline to $280 million for the quarter.
&#8220;While the second half was impacted by higher than expected inflation, foreign exchange headwinds, and supply constraints, our long-term value creation strategy remains unchanged,&#8221; said Sean Connolly, president and chief executive officer of Conagra Brands.
Adjusted gross profit&nbsp;decreased 10.7% to&nbsp;$717&nbsp;million versus the prior year as productivity was more than offset by lower net sales, the negative impact of cost of goods sold inflation, and unfavorable operating leverage.&nbsp;Adjusted gross margin&nbsp;decreased&nbsp;184 basis points to 25.8%.
Adjusted EBITDA, which includes equity method investment earnings and pension and postretirement non-service income, was&nbsp;$544 million&nbsp;in the quarter, down 5.7% year over year.
&#8220;In fiscal 2026, we expect elevated inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty to persist but remain focused on proactively managing the business by investing in our high-potential frozen and snacks domains, prioritizing volume strength, and further enhancing supply chain resiliency while continuing disciplined cost management and focus on cash flow,&#8221; Connolly added.&nbsp;
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $68 million, and inventories worth $2.048 billion.
The company announced on&nbsp;July 9 that its board of directors had approved a quarterly dividend payment of&nbsp;35 cents&nbsp;per share of Conagra common stock, which will be paid on&nbsp;August 28.

President Donald Trump imposed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage"> 50% tariffs on Brazil</a>, escalating the trade tensions between the two nations. This was followed by a slew of letters posted on his Truth Social account to Japan, South Korea, and other countries, with a deadline of making a deal by Aug. 1.
Trump also urged the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 3%, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46336115/as-trump-calls-for-3-percentage-point-rate-cut-too-late-jerome-powell-to-resign-june-fed-minutes-sh">June&#8217;s Fed minutes</a> were awash with words &#8220;uncertain&#8221; and &#8220;uncertainty,&#8221; over the tariffs.

Cues From Last Session:
Information technology, utilities, and communication services stocks led the gains on Wednesday, driving U.S. stocks higher.
Investors largely overlooked fresh trade uncertainty, encouraged by the White House&#8217;s delay of new tariffs to Aug. 1st and renewed hopes for negotiations.
In contrast, energy and consumer staples stocks bucked the broader market trend, ending the session in the red.

Insights From Analysts:
The senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, Scott Wren, highlighted that the resurfaced tariff negotiations after a 90-day pause have again started to impact global stock and bond markets.
He said that &#8220;Some potentially serious trade frictions were just around the corner, ready to rear their ugly heads and impact global stock and bond markets.&#8221;
Wren highlighted that the first 90-day pause of largely reciprocal tariffs with a number of important trading partners was due to expire today, July 9. But as the financial markets woke up and got ready to go on Monday morning, the headlines hit the newswires that the pause was being pushed back to Aug. 1, and letters were going out to various trading partners encouraging them to come to an agreement with the U.S. by this new date.
&#8220;The upcoming expiration of the 90-day tariff pause on Aug. 12 with China are just a big reminder that we are still in the early stages of hammering out what U.S. trade relationships with our largest global trade partners will be,&#8221; he said.
Granted, the magnitude of implementation has been uneven and inconsistent in recent months, Wren said that &#8220;U.S. consumers have yet to see the full effect of tariffs at this point.&#8221;
&#8220;Consumers are in many cases buying goods that were inventoried by sellers prior to the application of tariffs. Once those inventories are depleted and are replaced with goods that are subject to tariffs, we would expect to see goods inflation increase into the end of this year and in the early months of 2026,&#8221; he said.
Wren added that &#8220;Rising inflation is likely to increase market worries as market consensus calls for two rate cuts in 2025.&#8221;
Meanwhile, talking about inflation, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates stated that &#8220;I am expecting favorable inflation reports and for retail sales to have picked up a bit from May's slow pace.&#8221;
&#8220;Economic activity appears to be picking up, so both business and consumer sentiment should be rising,&#8221; he added.
