Autodesk is the clear standout in today's analyst activity. UBS lifted its price target to $325 from $290, BNP Paribas raised to $300 from $295, and the consensus target ticked up to $315. The $55B CAD software giant carries just 3.4% short interest — shorts are not pressing the bet.
Workday tells a more divided story. Wells Fargo raised its target to $225 from $215 while keeping a Buy. Yet Freedom Broker went the other way, cutting Workday from Buy to Hold. Short interest sits at 9.2% of free float — notably higher than sector peers. The split reflects uncertainty around the HR software firm's growth outlook.
Robinhood Markets saw its consensus target climb to $121.51 from $120.08. The fintech has a $82B market cap. Analysts remain broadly cautious — 22 Sells versus just 2 Buys.
Best Buy targets rose to $86.43, and Ulta Beauty targets edged up to $624 — both following recent earnings. PayPal and bucked the trend, with consensus targets nudging lower. BNP Paribas trimmed its view on to $26, citing continued margin pressure in the packaged food space.
