(This story is for CNBC Pro subscribers only.) More and more companies are abandoning outlooks amid the coronavirus uncertainties, creating a difficult backdrop for investors to pick out potential winners. Here's a look at which stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Wall Street analysts favor the most right now. CNBC Pro found the top 10 companies in the blue-chip 30-stock benchmark with the highest percentage of buy ratings from Wall Street. Analysts also expect the majority of these stocks to have double-digit upside, according to their 12-month price targets. The list includes mega-cap tech Apple and Microsoft . The tech duo have recently led the market rebound, gaining about 14% each in the past month. Wall Street analysts see a further 8% rally for both stocks in the next 12 months, according to the average price target calculated by FactSet. They are both on deck to report first-quarter earnings later this week. More than half of the analysts covering Procter & Gamble recommend buying the stock. Procter has been a classic defensive play amid the market turmoil as investors increasingly bet on consumer staples in an economic downturn. The company last week reported a surge in sale and also raised its quarterly dividend by 6% as many other companies slash or suspend theirs. Wall Street also has a high conviction in Goldman Sachs , seeing near 13% upside. While the bank reported a quarterly profit drop this month, it posted the strongest bond-trading results in five years. Goldman is showing it may be slightly more insulated from the coronavirus turmoil facing its bigger peers. The screen also turned up Merck & Co . Analysts are expecting a 18% gain for the stock, according to FactSet. However, the drug maker on Tuesday cut its 2020 forecast due to the uncertainties from the pandemic.The company did report a 11% increase in sales, driven by strong growth in its cancer-fighting treatment Keytruda. Others on the list include Disney, Visa , Raytheon Technologies and UnitedHealth .
