Bulls Charge: Target Prices Jump Across Three Sectors

Analysts lifted targets on several names this week. Three upgrades stand out for their size and breadth.

DDOG got the boldest call. Citigroup's Fatima Boolani raised her target to $270 from $218 — a 24% jump. She kept her Buy rating. Datadog carries a $76.5B market cap. Short interest is just 4.4% of free float. Bears are not a major force here.

HOOD also caught a fresh boost. Argus Research's Stephen Biggar raised his target to $110 from $90. That is a 22% increase. Robinhood's market cap has climbed to $76.5B. The stock now commands a Buy rating from Argus.

FDX saw its consensus target rise to $325.88 from $317.62. That is a more modest lift. But the direction is clear — analysts see the logistics giant recovering. Short interest sits at just 1.6% of free float.

KMB got a surprise upgrade from Piper Sandler. Michael Lavery moved the consumer staples name to Buy with a $121 target. The old target was $115.

TGT rounded out the session. Consensus target edged up to $132.20. The retail giant remains a Hold-dominated name with 23 neutral ratings.
