WDAY is drawing conflicting calls from Wall Street. Freedom Broker downgraded the HR software firm to Hold from Buy. Yet Wells Fargo raised its target to $225 from $215 on the same day. The divergence leaves Workday with a mixed consensus — 22 Sell ratings versus 17 Holds and just 3 Buys. Short interest sits at 9% of free float, the highest among the names in focus today.
HOOD got a boost from the analyst community. The consensus target price rose to $121.51, up from $120.08. Robinhood's market cap has grown to $86.8 billion. Short interest is low at just 4.1% of free float, and shares are easy to borrow with availability at over 1,300%.
ADSK saw multiple upgrades in a single session. UBS lifted its target to $325 from $290. BNP Paribas raised its target to $300 from $295. The consensus target edged up to $315. All three analysts maintain Buy ratings. Autodesk carries a $57 billion market cap with short interest at just 3.4% of free float.
BBY and ULTA also saw target price upgrades, reflecting stronger-than-expected consumer spending resilience heading into the autumn retail season.
