Analysts lifted price targets on CrowdStrike and Tesla this week. Both moves pushed consensus averages slightly higher.
CRWD saw its average target price rise to $179.69 from $179.24. The cybersecurity giant carries a $197 billion market cap. Short interest sits at just 2.9% of free float. That near-zero short pressure suggests the market is broadly onside with the bullish case.
TSLA received another target bump, nudging the consensus to $423.40. Analysts remain split — 23 buys, 18 holds, and 6 sells. Short interest is also light at 2.9% of FF.
In consumer staples, Procter & Gamble and Constellation Brands both saw targets trimmed. P&G's consensus slipped to $163.43. STZ dropped to $171.00.
J. M. Smucker had a recommendation removed entirely. The food company's average target stands at $122.31. With short interest near 5% of free float, some skepticism remains in the market.
General Mills and ADP both got small target upgrades. Omnicom also edged higher to $102.92.
The broader pattern: tech names attracting buy-side enthusiasm while legacy consumer brands face quiet target cuts.
