Analysts lifted the consensus target on WDC to $631 from $625. That is a sharp move for Western Digital, whose $191 billion market cap reflects strong AI-era demand for storage. Short sellers are light here. Short interest sits at just 6.6% of free float.
GS also saw its average target rise — now at $1,051, up from $1,037. Goldman Sachs holds a healthy buy-skew. 15 analysts rate it Hold and 3 rate it Buy. The stock's short interest is minimal at 2.1% of free float.
Homebuilder LEN moved the other way. Target prices fell to $87.31 from $88.54. 10% of Lennar's free float is short — the highest of today's movers. That signals some bearish conviction on the housing sector outlook.
EBAY bucked the tech pessimism trend. Its consensus target nudged up to $109 from $109. Analysts are split: 10 sell ratings versus just 2 buys. The upward revision is modest but notable given the bearish skew.
MCD and CRM both saw small target cuts. McDonald's slipped to $327.58. Salesforce dropped to $245.16. Neither move is dramatic, but the direction is consistent — analysts are trimming consumer and enterprise software names heading into the back half of 2026.
