Shaken, Not Stirred: 007's Top Stock Picks That Even Goldfinger Would Envy

A President a Trade Deal and a License to Invest

Well hello there. 007 here reporting for duty – and of course profit. Seems even Presidents know a thing or two about boosting the markets. With Trump's U.S. Vietnam trade deal and a rather solid jobs report the markets are looking as inviting as a Bond girl on a tropical beach. But don't get blinded by the sun there are still diamonds to be mined. That's where yours truly steps in with a little help from Wall Street's finest. After all even I need a Moneypenny to sort through the paperwork.

Dell: The Name's Technologies Dell Technologies

First up we have Dell Technologies (DELL). Evercore analyst Amit Daryanani a chap who clearly knows his gadgets has slapped a 'buy' rating on this one with a target of $150. And even TipRanks' AI agrees rating it as 'outperform' with a $128 target. Daryanani seems positively smitten after his rendezvous with Dell's management predicting high single digit revenue growth and a double digit increase in earnings. The secret? Dell's been busy optimizing its cost structure much like Q Branch optimizing my gadgets. And their AI investments are paying off handsomely. Apparently their AI server margins are better than expected earning them a premium. Sounds like a recipe for success wouldn't you say? And they're not worried about tariffs. "Diversified and global footprint" they say. Very resourceful like a good spy.

Trade Desk: Advertising That's Anything But Classified

Next we have Trade Desk (TTD) a cloud based advertising platform. Now advertising might not sound as thrilling as defusing a bomb but trust me the potential profits are explosive. Evercore's Mark Mahaney has upgraded Trade Desk to 'Buy' with a target of $90. TipRanks' AI chimes in with an 'outperform' rating albeit with a slightly lower $83 target. Mahaney sees the recent stock pullback as a golden opportunity to jump back into a high quality performer. Online ad demand is improving and Trade Desk's execution is looking sharp. Apparently their new Deal Desk is smoothing the transition to their AI powered Kokai platform. They may face increasing competition from Amazon but Mahaney thinks Google has more to worry about. And with the World Cup and Winter Olympics on the horizon in 2026 Trade Desk is poised for a strong run. Sounds like a game worth playing.

Amazon: A Prime Investment No License to Kill Required

And finally we have the behemoth the titan the... well you get the idea: Amazon (AMZN). Jefferies analyst Brent Thill has reaffirmed a 'buy' rating and bumped up the price target to $255. TipRanks' AI agrees with an 'outperform' rating and a $233 target. Thill's research suggests that Amazon remains resilient despite price increases with stable spending levels among its customers. Prime remains the most popular membership driving loyalty and ensuring Amazon remains at the top of the heap. Plus their extended Prime Day event is expected to draw in even more members. All in all Amazon is looking like a solid bet. No need to jump out of a plane without a parachute on this one.

Analysts: The Unsung Heroes of Financial Espionage

Now you might be wondering who are these analysts and why should I trust them? Well let me tell you these aren't your average paper pushers. Daryanani Mahaney and Thill are ranked among the top analysts tracked by TipRanks with profitable ratings and impressive average returns. They're the unsung heroes of financial espionage sifting through mountains of data to uncover the hidden gems. So while I might be the one dodging bullets and charming villains these analysts are the ones providing the intel. And in this game information is more valuable than a shaken martini.

Bond's Final Word: Invest Wisely Live Dangerously (But Not Too Dangerously)

So there you have it. Dell Trade Desk and Amazon – three stocks tipped by Wall Street's top pros. Of course remember my golden rule: invest wisely but don't be afraid to take a calculated risk. After all fortune favors the bold. Now if you'll excuse me I have a rendezvous with a certain Miss Moneypenny and a bottle of Bollinger. Until next time remember: the name's Bond James Bond and I approve this message.
