Following the downgrade, the shares fell more than 3% today.

The firm highlighted that since its upgrade in late 2020, the company’s stock has generated a remarkable 175% return. According to the firm, this “structural re-rate” is attributable to factors such as reduced costs, changes in leadership, investments in attractive long-term initiatives, and increased investor trust in the company’s dividend sustainability and share buyback program.

The firm further states that ExxonMobil’s current valuation better reflects the structural turnaround in the business, with shares trading at a 7% FCF yield on 2024 estimates at $85/b Brent.

The company reported its Q1 on Friday, beating both EPS and revenue estimates.

Doximity shares fall after Wells Fargo downgrade

Wells Fargo downgraded Doximity (NYSE:) to Equal Weight from Overweight and cut its price target to $37.00 from $39.00, noting its survey highlights resilience, but pharma budget growth limits the upside prospects for Doximity’s shares.

“Our proprietary Doximity client survey suggests digital 2023 ad budgets are growing mid-to-high-single digits,” said the firm, noting this is a deceleration from its previously anticipated low double-digit growth.

Shares close more than 2% lower today and are currently trading nearly 2% lower after-hours.

The company is set to report its Q4/23 on May 17.
