Five major Wall Street firms initiated coverage on stocks ranging from energy giant Vistra to motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential for some names.

Tuesday brought a flurry of fresh analyst opinions as five Wall Street firms launched coverage on companies across different sectors, offering investors new perspectives on where these stocks might be headed.

Energy Play Gets Bullish Call

Keybanc analyst Sophie Karp kicked things off with an Overweight rating on Vistra Corp (VST), setting a price target of $217. That's a pretty optimistic view considering the stock was trading at $168.07 on Tuesday, suggesting the analyst sees meaningful upside ahead for the energy company.

Tech Giant Gets Lukewarm Reception

Not every initiation came with enthusiasm. Macquarie analyst Steven Koenig took a more measured approach with ServiceNow Inc (NOW), assigning a Neutral rating alongside an $860 price target. With shares trading at $824.40 on Tuesday, Koenig appears to see limited near-term upside for the enterprise software player.

Industrial Stock Earns Overweight Tag

Barclays analyst Adam Seiden started coverage on Oshkosh Corp (OSK) with an Overweight rating and a $150 price target. The industrial vehicle manufacturer was changing hands at $127.05 on Tuesday, meaning Seiden's target implies decent upside potential if the thesis plays out.

Motorcycle Maker Faces Headwinds

Loop Capital took a cautious stance on Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG), initiating with a Hold rating and a $21 price target. That's actually below where the iconic motorcycle manufacturer was trading on Tuesday at $24.23, suggesting the firm sees potential downside risk or limited catalysts ahead.

Insurance Stock Gets Positive Nod

Rounding out Tuesday's initiations, RBC Capital analyst Rowland Mayor began coverage on AXIS Capital Holdings Ltd (AXS) with an Outperform rating and a $125 price target. The insurance and reinsurance company was trading at $100.80 on Tuesday, giving Mayor's target room for solid appreciation.

The mix of ratings and targets reflects the varied outlooks analysts have across different sectors right now. Some see compelling opportunities while others are taking a wait-and-see approach, giving investors plenty to consider as they evaluate these positions.
