Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades: Adobe, Alphabet, Facebook, Lululemon, Nvidia and More
By: 24/7 Wall St. | September 17, 2021
After a week of up and down trading, the broad markets look to be ending the week on a negative note. Precipitating this move downward was a recent consumer sentiment report that demonstrated near decade-low numbers reflecting concerns about inflation. Consumer Price Index data from earlier this week, while positive, suggested a steady uptick in inflation. Separately, new jobless claims were reported higher on Thursday, but they remained near pandemic lows.
Withstanding all this economic news, equities, and the markets in general, need to find a direction from here. After drawing down last week and trading sideways this week, it is anyone’s guess as to where they could go from here. However, a few analysts have picked some names on Friday where investors could see big returns.
24/7 Wall St. is reviewing some big analyst calls seen on Friday. We have included the latest analyst call on each stock, as well as a recent trading history and the consensus targets among analysts. Note that analyst calls seen earlier in the day were on Cirrus Logic, Las Vegas Sands, Take-Two, Williams-Sonoma and more.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE): Mizuho reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target to $695 from $640. Shares were last seen trading around $652, and in the past year they have traded as high as $673.88.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL): Jefferies reiterated a Hold rating but raised its price target to $3,325 from $3,150. The stock was last seen at around $2,831 a share, and it has a consensus price target of $3,146.45.
