Analysts Slash Danaher; GM Gets a Lift

Analyst desks were busy on July 22, with target price cuts hitting healthcare and finance while autos drew fresh buying interest.

DHR took the sharpest blow. The average analyst target fell to $231.52 from $242.52 — an $11 drop in a single session. The consensus remains cautious, with 22 holds and just 4 buys among covered analysts.

GM moved the other way. Targets ticked up to $97.35 from $96.65. The automaker carries 20 buys versus 5 holds. Short interest sits at just 3% of free float, so bears are not crowding in.

NFLX also saw a slight target trim. The average price target dipped to $95.95 from $96.53. Netflix has 36 buys on the board — the broadest analyst support in today's batch.

IBKR bucked the trend with a target increase to $102.41 from $101.49. Nine of 12 analysts rate it a buy.

MSCI faced a notable target cut to $701.53 from $705.47. That $4 pull-back keeps the stock deep into hold territory. SYF and EFX both saw minor target reductions as well, adding to a cautious tone across financial names today.
