Top analysts are bullish on the prospects of these 3 stocks

Uncertainty in the political environment and macroeconomic pressures continued to influence market sentiment in recent trading sessions. But continued volatility offers an opportunity to find stocks trading at attractive prices and benefit from their long-term growth potential.

The recommendations of top Wall Street analysts can help investors gain valuable insights and pick the right stocks. These experts assign ratings after conducting an in-depth analysis of the company’s strengths and weaknesses, while paying attention to major factors.

Here are three stocks that some of Wall Street’s top experts love, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance.

Snowflake

This week’s first pick is an AI data cloud provider Snowflake (CHOICE). Last month, the company delivered market-beating first-quarter results and issued strong guidance. Snowflake also announced a $6 billion infrastructure commitment Amazon Cloud unit of AWS (Amazon Web Services).

In his latest research note, Bank of America analyst Koji Ikeda reiterated Snowflake’s buy, Datadog, JFrog, MongoDBagain Twilio. The analyst has a $300 price target on SNOW. Ikeda said the recent financial results of the so-called “Fab Five” of the infrastructure software space proved that “1) their performance is strong, 2) AI is profitable, 3) vision is aligned, 4) go-to-market is effective, and 5) differentiation is strong.”

The 5-star analyst expects the Fab Five’s fundamentals to remain strong in the second half of 2026, supported by AI tailwinds and the rapid launch of new products.

Specifically, Ikeda highlighted that Snowflake’s AI offerings, including Cortex Code, Cortex AI and Intelligence, drove year-over-year growth in fiscal year Q1 2027, up from 30% in the previous quarter. He also noted a 4-point increase in SNOW’s FY27 product revenue growth outlook to 31%. Ikeda emphasized that product revenue accounts for 96% of the company’s total revenue and is driven by the use of the Snowflake platform.

In addition, the analyst asserts that Snowflake’s goal of GAAP profitability for Q4 FY28 (revealed on Investor Day on June 2) suggests a potential downside to Wall Street analysts’ estimates, which are still negative.

Ikeda is ranked No. 677 among more than 12,200 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His estimates were profitable 56% of the time, yielding an average return of 11.5%. See Snow Options Activity on TipRanks.

MongoDB

Next: MongoDB (MDB), a provider of database software. The company delivered strong first-quarter financial results and attributed its performance to strong market demand for the platform across business use cases and emerging AI opportunities.

Recently, Tigress Financial analyst Ivan Feinseth reaffirmed a buy rating on MongoDB stock and raised his price target to $515 from $430.

“MDB is leading the transition to cloud-native, AI-powered data infrastructure management at Atlas-driven scale, increasing revenue generation and long-term sustainability,” the analyst said.

The 5-star analyst emphasized that MDB continues to win market share in the large, long-lived storage market as businesses modernize applications and shift workloads from legacy systems to cloud-based environments. He believes that with the growth of Atlas, MDB’s Multi-cloud Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offering, the flexibility of integration to higher margins, recurring subscription revenue and targeted cost management are driving higher cash flow and increasing free cash flow margins.

Feinseth argues that MongoDB deserves a premium valuation in terms of revenue and cash flow multiples compared to its infrastructure software peers, given its upside market, top-line growth, improved unit economics and growing cash generation.

Feinseth also highlighted that MongoDB benefits from a strong competitive edge, driven by its flexible text-based architecture, broad developer adoption and Atlas’ multi-cloud footprint. He also noted the deep integration of the MDB platform with hyperscalers and AI frameworks such as LangChain.

Feinseth is ranked No. 849 among more than 12,200 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His predictions were successful 55% of the time, yielding an average return of 9.5%. See the Inner Workings of MongoDB on TipRanks.

Walmart

Finally, there is the big box retailer Walmart (WMT). After attending the company’s annual meeting with shareholders, KeyBanc analyst Bradley Thomas reiterated a buy rating on Walmart with a price target of $145.

The 5-star analyst appeared at Walmart’s meeting, citing the strength of the company’s growth strategy and long-term prospects. Specifically, Thomas believes Walmart is a leader, and continues to invest, in speed of delivery. The analyst expects continued improvement in Walmart’s delivery times and costs, driven by continued investment, growth in e-commerce and in-store delivery orders, and improving order density.

In addition, Thomas expects automation to reduce fulfillment costs. In fact, Walmart has emphasized that the automation of its US business is now about 60% complete. The analyst expects the rollout to be completed in the next few years.

The analyst also noted 37% growth in Walmart’s advertising business in the first fiscal quarter and sees significant momentum ahead, driven by expanding customer base, Market growth, and more penetration with key retailers.

Among other key takeaways from the meeting, Thomas highlighted additional growth opportunities and efficiency initiatives, such as AI, Sparky, food delivery and VIZIO, which are expected to improve customer acquisition, conversion and shopping experience.

Thomas ranks No. 505 among more than 12,200 analysts tracked by TipRanks. His predictions were successful 62% of the time, yielding an average return of 12.7%. See Walmart’s Ownership Structure on TipRanks.
