Analyst price targets shifted sharply on Thursday. The standout move was a cut to Rollins, the pest control giant. Consensus target prices fell from $55.29 to $50.24 — a drop of more than 9%. The stock carries a $20.9B market cap. Short interest sits at just 4.6% of free float, suggesting bears aren't piling in despite the negative analyst tone.
Intel moved in the opposite direction. Analysts lifted the consensus target from $108.63 to $110.60. The chipmaker has faced years of market share pressure. The target increase signals growing optimism, possibly tied to restructuring progress. Short interest on INTC remains low at 2.8% of free float.
United Rentals also saw upgrades. The consensus target rose from $1,205 to $1,224. The equipment rental leader has benefited from infrastructure spending. Its $64.8B market cap places it among the largest industrials.
AMD received a target bump to $548.57 from $545.91. Analysts remain bullish on AI chip demand. Tractor Supply and both saw modest target reductions, reflecting caution on consumer spending.
