Analyst desks stayed busy this week. Three sectors — airlines, specialty chemicals, and energy — saw the most notable moves.
IFF collected an upgrade from analysts, pushing the consensus to a firmer buy tilt. The specialty chemicals giant carries a $91 average target price. Short interest sits at 7.2% of free float — modest, but worth watching if momentum builds.
DAL got a target price lift to $99.56. That marks a near-unanimous bullish call. 25 out of 26 covering analysts rate Delta a buy. Short sellers look relaxed too. SI stands at just 3.8% of free float with availability over 730%.
MPC also saw target prices tick up to $275.65. Marathon Petroleum holds a mixed consensus. Nine analysts are bullish, eight neutral, and one bearish. The refiner's stock trades near the top of analyst forecasts.
On the negative side, ABNB saw a slight target trim to $156.47. Airbnb carries a split consensus with 22 buys but two sells. CMG and HAS both faced small target cuts as well.
META drew an upward target revision to $828. All 56 covering analysts remain bullish on the ad giant.
