Lueng says the company has a relatively sticky user base compared to its peers, and its also exposed to less regulatory risk. Its user base of around 5 million people is only about 5 penetration of Chinas educated young adult demographic.Bank of America has a Buy rating and 19.80 price target for LX stock.Millicom International Cellular SA NASDAQ: TIGO Millicom is a telecom provider for nearly 50 million customers in Latin America and Africa.Analyst Rodrigo Villanueva recently said management took decisive action in preparing for the economic downturn by implementing more than 100 million in cost savings, cutting between 200 million and 300 million in capex, suspending 100 million in 2020 dividend payments and pausing 150 million in buybacks. Villanuava says prioritizing liquidity and cash is the right move, and the companys subscription-based revenue should prove relatively resilient during the downturn while the stocks valuation provides long-term upside.Bank of America has a Buy rating and 56 price target for TIGO stock.GW Pharmaceuticals PLC- ADR NASDAQ: GWPH GW Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses primarily on developing cannabinoid-based drugs for a wide variety of applications. GWs Epidiolex was the first ever cannabis-based medication ever approved by the FDA.Analyst Tazeen Ahmad recently said Epidiolexs label could soon expand beyond epilepsy to tuberous sclerosis complex in the U.S., while launches in countries like Germany, the UK, France, Spain and Italy are also driving near-term revenue upside.

In addition, studies of NC410 and NC318 have also been disrupted.Given the delays, Stranahan estimated the highly anticipated Phase II NC318 data will likely now come in the first half of 2021 rather than the fourth quarter of 2020. The massive potential of NC318 and NC410 created home run potential for investors, but the inherent risk in the early-stage trial data generates inherent risk.Bank of America has a Buy rating and 62 price target for NXTC stock.SINA Corp NASDAQ: SINA Sina is the owner of leading online social media and wireless value-added service Weibo in China.Leung recently said Sinas ad revenue took a significant hit in the first half of 2020, but the COVID-19 outbreak likely went a long way in highlighting the value of Weibo given the government and media outlets used it to disseminate information. Leung is calling for a 1 drop in revenue in 2020, including a 10 decline in portal ads and a 9 increase in fintech revenue.Like many other stocks, Leung is anticipating a strong recovery in the second half of the year and said user monetization, advertising, membership growth and app improvements are all bullish long-term drivers.Bank of America has a Buy rating and 57 price target for SINA stock.Latest Ratings for GWPH DateFirmActionFromTo May 2020Cantor FitzgeraldMaintainsOverweight Apr 2020Northland Capital MarketsInitiates Coverage OnOutperform Mar 2020CitigroupInitiates Coverage OnBuy View More Analyst Ratings for GWPH View the Latest Analyst Ratings See more from Benzinga Cannabis Short Sellers Down 1M In May Cannabis Stock Rally Puts Short Sellers In The Red For 2020C 2020 Benzinga.com.
