For Your Education and Enjoyment When Downgrades Create Opportunities: 3 Stocks to Watch NowWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 10/7/2025. 
Key Points - Downgrades and price target cuts often create short-term volatility but rarely alter the long-term trajectory of high-quality stocks.
- Accenture, Salesforce, and CrowdStrike each show signs of resilience, with institutional buying and analyst sentiment pointing toward potential rebounds.
- Investors can view recent analyst downgrades as potential entry points, particularly in fundamentally strong, AI-driven technology leaders.
Downgrades, like all market signals, are relative. A rating cut or price-target reduction on a high-quality stock rarely spells long-term trouble for investors. While such news can send shares lower in the short term, fundamental drivers—growth, earnings quality and capital returns—typically reassert themselves over time. In fact, downgrades and target-price revisions often create attractive entry points in high-quality stocks. Here are three examples worth watching. Accenture: 35% Pullback Offers AI-Led Upside Markets have been anything but stable lately — big names like AAPL and TSLA have been whipsawing, and even the S&P can't find direction. For most traders, it's been a painful ride.
But one veteran has been using a special setup to spot opportunities in the chaos — without spending hours glued to the screen. It's a breakthrough designed to help everyday traders target overnight income, even when markets are volatile. See how to start targeting winners while you sleep Accenture (NYSE: ACN) plunged about 35% in 2025 amid government-spending cuts, but the long-term outlook remains intact thanks to enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence. As the world's leading outsourcer of IT and digitalization services, Accenture is well-positioned to help businesses modernize and apply AI to improve efficiency and drive growth. In Q3, 24 analysts lowered their ratings on ACN—enough to put it second on MarketBeat's Most Downgraded Stocks list. Yet the consensus remains a Moderate Buy, coverage has been expanding and the average target implies roughly 20% upside from current levels. Institutional investors have stepped in aggressively as shares neared multi-year lows, buying at better than a 2-to-1 ratio and now holding more than 75% of the float. That support should help establish a solid base even if a sustained rebound is delayed into 2026. 
Salesforce: Price Targets Overstate the Weakness Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) has seen a series of target cuts as guidance came in below lofty expectations. However, the sell-off has pushed the stock down to its long-term trading range, and the low end of analyst targets now aligns with near-term support. The consensus forecast calls for almost a 40% rally from here. Much of the negative action stems from delays in AI-driven revenue acceleration. Yet CRM currently trades at just 22× its 2026 EPS estimate—and about half that multiple relative to its 2035 forecast. If Salesforce can sustain high single-digit growth, robust cash flow and meaningful capital returns, the stock could gain 50% in the near term and up to 200% over the next several years as its valuation closes the gap with other AI leaders. 
CrowdStrike: From Downgrades to Upgrades CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has shifted in sentiment—from one of the most downgraded stocks to one of the most upgraded over the past quarter. That change signals the headwinds that drove a Q2 buying opportunity have given way to tailwinds, and analysts now peg upside near 20% by year-end. Institutional flows reinforce the bullish case: firms are buying CRWD at better than a 3-to-1 ratio and now own over 70% of the shares outstanding. With that level of support, CrowdStrike looks poised to retest its highs in October and extend gains through the end of the year.
