Let’s break down some compelling analyst ratings and upside potential across several names as earnings season heats up. Here's what I'm watching as an experienced financial analyst — and what might catch your eye too.

$CMCSA Comcast has earnings on deck, and while the stock is down 8.05% over the past year, analysts still see hope. With a Neutral consensus and a $40.63 price target, there’s 18.8% upside baked in. Guidance will be key — investors are hoping for both a beat and a bullish outlook to reverse the current downtrend.

$CPNG Coupang is quietly sitting in Bill Gates' portfolio and just popped +4.11%. It’s trading sideways with a high P/E (267.61), yet analysts still see room to run with modest sentiment around long-term growth. If it breaks above the $26.91 high, momentum could catch fire.

$DDOG Datadog AI monitoring enhancements via the Metaplane deal could be a catalyst. Despite a sharp downtrend and pricey valuation (P/E 167.29), Wall Street still believes in its future. Near-term sentiment remains cautious, but tech bulls may want to keep this on their radar.

$DHR Danaher, another Gates-backed name, trades at a 38x P/E and still sits well below its 52-week high. Analysts remain constructive, seeing long-term opportunity despite the recent downtrend. Patience could be rewarded here, but it's not a short-term momentum play.

$EXP Eagle Materials continues to fly under the radar. With a reasonable P/E of 15.48, a modest float, and sideways movement, analysts argue that further upside is justified — particularly if demand for infrastructure picks up in the second half.

$FDX FedEx is pushing higher (+2.16%) but still downtrending overall. However, with a solid P/E (13.25) and significant upside to its $313.84 high, it offers a strong risk/reward profile for contrarian value investors.

$HAS Hasbro has been beaten down (-18.53% YoY), but analysts are betting big on a bounce. With a Buy rating and a $80.33 target, there’s a whopping 54.18% upside. If earnings and guidance deliver, this could be one of the biggest near-term movers.

$MSFT Microsoft needs no introduction. It’s sitting just below its 50-day MA and has pulled back from its high. With a P/E of 30.13 and a neutral RSI, the setup looks decent, but it may take a broader tech rally to reignite the upside.

$ONON On Holding is volatile with a high beta (2.32), but it's found support near its moving averages. If it breaks above $48, it could signal a new leg higher. A high-risk, high-reward setup for aggressive traders.

$TXT Textron is down nearly 21% YoY, yet analysts see a 33.5% upside with a $87.40 target. Earnings this week could be the turning point. It's flying under the radar, but if the report impresses, we could see a stealth rally.

$UNP Union Pacific is another stock with an upcoming catalyst. Trading just under resistance, analysts see 17.81% upside to $255.53. A strong report could clear the path for a rebound — especially with a Buy rating in hand.

Bottom line: Who offers the most attractive near-term opportunity?
$HAS stands out. With a beaten-down chart, a bullish analyst rating, and over 54% upside potential, it has the ingredients for a strong bounce — if earnings and guidance align.
