Bank of America says Nvidia and these other stocks are on sale

Bank of America named several stocks that it said are undervalued.

Bank of America recently named several companies that it said are intriguing buying opportunities. The Wall Street investment bank said that investors should buy any weakness in stocks including Nvidia. Other stocks rated buy at Bank of America and screened by CNBC Pro include: Thor Industries, Lyntris, Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage and Dutch Bros. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage The organic and specialty grocer is “premium quality without the premium price,” analyst Vicky Liu said in initiating research coverage of the stock with a buy rating. Liu cited multiple catalysts that could send the stock higher, ranging from margin expansion to product affordability and rapid expansion. The bank out a $35 price target on the shares. “With the stock trading at 13x F27E EPS, we believe the market underestimates NGVC’s growth runway & margin potential,” she said. The stock is more than 5% over the past three months but ahead almost 19% in all of 2026. Dutch Bros Buy the weakness, analyst Sara Senatore said of the coffee chain. “We think concerns about near term same-store sales hurdles and medium- to longer term competition from other drive through native concepts have weighed disproportionately on valuation,” she said. The bank said the coffee category is one of the most rapidly growing segments in the restaurant industry. “The tailwind from an increasing share of consumers reporting past week espresso based beverage consumption (43% in 2025 vs 37% in 2020) should persist,” Senatore went on. Shares are down 43% in the past three months. Lyntris The connectivity systems defense company is best positioned for rising demand, according to analyst Ronald Epstein. Bank of America was a joint book-running manager for the Lyntris IPO on Aug. 18. “Sensing strong upside opportunities,” Epstein wrote in recently initiating research coverage with a buy rating. Bank of America sees “market tailwinds” across the company’s three main businesses: space, maritime and air defense. “As a merchant supplier of mission-critical componentry and software, LYNX is well aligned to ramping defense investment across the U.S. and international allies,” he went on to say. The stock is down 8% in the past month. Natural Grocers “Premium quality without the premium price. … .A value-oriented grocer with unit growth & margin upside … With the stock trading at 13x F27E EPS, we believe the market underestimates NGVC’s growth runway & margin potential.” Dutch Bros “We think concerns about near term same store sales hurdles and medium to longer term competition from other drive through native concepts have weighed disproportionately on valuation … The tailwind from an increasing share of consumers reporting past week espresso based beverage consumption (43% in 2025 vs 37% in 2020) should persist.” Lyntris “Sensing strong upside opportunities. … .As a merchant supplier of mission-critical componentry and software, LYNX is well aligned to ramping defense investment across the US and international allies … Favorable end market tailwinds across segments.” Thor Industries “We would characterize THO’s top-line results as best case given the tough industry backdrop while supplier costs continue to pressure gross margins … We rate THO at Buy given outlook for market share recapture, margin self-help initiatives, and a trough in recreational vehicle (RV) industry unit sales.” Nvidia “Our $350 PO is based on 22x CY27E PE ex cash, within NVDA’s historical 15x-56x forward year PE range, which we believe is justified by NVDA’s leading share in fast-growing AI compute/networking markets, offset by lumpiness in global AI projects, cyclical gaming market, and concerns around access to power.”

U.S. and Iran hold separate mediated talks as Middle East oil exports hit wartime peak

U.S. and Iranian officials have engaged in separate mediated talks aimed at ending the seven‑month war, while Middle East oil exports have surged to near‑record levels despite the conflict.

Iranian and American officials reportedly held separate meetings with mediators on Monday, urging a ceasefire.

Middle Eastern crude exports climbed this month to their highest point since the war started in February.

According to Kpler, a total U.S. export ban on diesel would keep about 1.2 million barrels per day domestically and could overwhelm Gulf Coast storage capacity.

The ruins of the Shajareh Tayebeh primary school, destroyed in Minab, Hormozgan province, are shown in an image taken on August 10 2026, surrounded by rubble. Six months later, AFP journalists gained rare access to the site, which remains largely in ruins, with collapsed walls and twisted steel framed by portraits of the children who were killed and Iranian flags waving above the debris. Iran asserts that the attack involved two separate U.S. Tomahawk missiles, though neither the United States nor Israel has officially claimed responsibility.

U.S. and Iranian officials have reportedly engaged in separate indirect talks with mediators on Monday, reviving efforts to end the seven‑month war. Tehran is pushing for a response to a revised ceasefire framework while Middle East crude exports reach their highest level since the conflict started.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Qatari mediators in New York, where he stayed after the United Nations General Assembly, and said he expects a reply from Washington by Tuesday. “We discussed ideas and how to find solutions to meet Iran’s conditions,” Araghchi said, adding that he plans to return to Tehran once a response arrives. “Whenever the Qataris have an answer, they know how to get it to us.”

Iran’s proposal, first presented on the sidelines of last week’s General Assembly, calls for the United States to release frozen Iranian funds within four to five days, lift sanctions on Iranian oil, and end the naval blockade of Iranian ports, with nuclear talks slated to begin within seven days. Tehran has linked any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to the fulfillment of these steps.

President Donald Trump called the plan “unacceptable” on Sunday and rejected it, telling reporters that Iran seeks a rapid agreement because of the economic pressure it faces. At the White House on Monday, Trump said U.S. officials had spoken separately with mediators but offered no further details, adding, “We’re going to win. It’s going to go pretty quickly.”

The diplomatic push comes as physical supply data indicates the war’s impact on the oil market is easing. Middle Eastern crude exports rebounded this month to roughly their highest level since the conflict began in February, according to Kpler. The tracking firm noted that Middle East crude exports are at just under 80 % of pre‑conflict levels.

The Strait of Hormuz itself remains far from normal. Kpler’s real‑time tracking showed total traffic through the strait at 10,591 kilobarrels per day on Saturday, compared with a pre‑war baseline of 17,133.
