Okay, so here’s the thing. Wells Fargo, yeah, they’re looking at some stocks. Apparently, there’s stuff happening that might make these stocks more valuable in the third quarter. Here’s what caught my eye — just the other day, the S&P 500 did this crazy comeback act in 2025. I mean, it was a bit of a nail-biter, almost hitting bear market sounds dramatic, right? But then, boom! Record highs last week. Kind of like watching a movie with a twist you didn’t see coming.
So Wells Fargo’s got their eyes on a few. Like Hess, the energy stock. It’s up 11% in 2025 so far. They’re saying this Hess could either merge with Chevron — imagine that — and bump up to $169 a share. Or not merge, but still hit $184 because of its Guyana project. Seriously, at this point, it feels like those “choose your own adventure” books. Which path will Hess take? Dunno, but both sound pretty good.
Then, there’s Sweetgreen. Remember them? The salad folks? 2025’s been rough for them, their stock dropped 58%. Ouch, right? But Anthony Trainor, bless his optimism, thinks that’s gonna change. Apparently, they had some bad trends earlier this year, but hey, every fast-casual has its day. He figures it’ll bounce back, and he’s not shy about it. Says Sweetgreen’s stumbles are just temporary, something about tough comparisons and whatever. But he reckons there’s a lot of upsides — like a 44% bounce back to $19 a share. Fast food can be dramatic too, it seems.
Anyway — so both Hess and Sweetgreen are like these intriguing, sort of underdog stories waiting to unfold. And honestly, it’s kinda fun just watching to see what happens next.
