Autodesk dominated analyst activity Friday. Three separate firms lifted their price targets on the software maker. UBS raised its target to $325 from $290. BNP Paribas moved to $300 from $295. The consensus target now sits at $315. All three analysts maintain Buy ratings.
Workday drew mixed signals. Wells Fargo raised its target to $225 from $215, keeping a Buy. But Freedom Broker downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy. Short interest in Workday stands at 9.2% of free float — the highest among today's major movers.
Robinhood saw its consensus target tick up to $121.51 from $120.08. The fintech's $82 billion market cap reflects strong investor appetite. Short interest is modest at 4.1% of free float.
Best Buy and Ulta Beauty both received target price lifts. Best Buy's consensus moved to $86.43. Ulta's sits at $624.
On the downside, PayPal saw its consensus target trimmed to $59.66 from $60.57. Simon Property Group also had its target nudged lower to $236.89. Both remain under modest selling pressure from analysts.
