Today’s Key Analyst Moves
Upgrades & Target Raises
• Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) — Price target raised after analysts flagged improving fundamentals in its neuroscience and oncology portfolio. Shares have been building momentum following recent clinical updates.
• Sohu.com (SOHU) — Target raised by Jefferies, citing stronger-than-expected ad recovery and operational efficiency improvements.
• DraftKings (DKNG) — Buy reiterated at Benchmark. Continued state-level expansion and favorable NFL seasonal traffic support the bullish stance.
• Brinker International (EAT) — Buy reiterated at Stifel. Analysts see stable comps and margin resilience heading into the holiday dining season.
• VistaGen Therapeutics (VTGN) — Buy reiterated. Positive sentiment holds after progress in the company’s anxiety-focused therapeutics pipeline.
Downgrades & Price-Target Cuts
• Netflix (NFLX) — Price target lowered by Canaccord Genuity. Analysts point to slowing web-traffic trends in October and rising competition in premium streaming.
• ProPetro (PUMP) — Downgraded by Freedom Capital Markets. Weakness in North American shale activity and pressure on service pricing contributed to the negative move.
• MGM Resorts (MGM) — Target cut to $37. Analysts highlight softer Macau signals and cautious Vegas forward bookings.
• Lucid Group (LCID) — Price target lowered at Stifel. EV demand deceleration and elevated cash burn continue to weigh on sentiment.
Reiterations with Neutral or Cautious Tone
• GE Aerospace (GE) — Buy reiterated at Jefferies. Strong order backlog and defense exposure support the long-term outlook, though the firm maintained a steady target amid macro uncertainty.
• VF Corp (VFC) — Neutral reiterated at UBS. Ongoing brand recovery efforts and lagging retail traffic keep expectations muted.
• Peloton (PTON) — Analysts noted flat web-traffic trends for October, reinforcing a neutral stance as the company works through hardware-to-subscription ratio challenges.
Sentiment Overview
Today’s batch skews mixed-to-cautiously positive.
