WDAY is the story of the day in analyst circles. Freedom Broker downgraded the HR software firm to Hold from Buy. That came the same morning Wells Fargo lifted its price target to $225 from $215, keeping a Buy rating.
The split signals leave Wall Street's consensus firmly cautious. 22 analysts hold a Sell on Workday. Only three rate it a Buy. Short interest sits at 9.2% of free float.
ADSK got a cleaner reception. UBS raised its target to $325 from $290. BNP Paribas followed with a separate lift to $300 from $295. Both analysts kept Buy ratings. The consensus average target now stands at $315.57. Short interest is low at 3.4% of free float, suggesting limited bearish positioning.
HOOD also saw its consensus target tick up to $121.51 from $120.08. The brokerage platform carries an $82bn market cap. Analyst coverage remains mixed, with 22 Sells against five Holds.
PYPL faced the sharpest target cut. The consensus average fell to $59.66 from $60.57. That is a modest trim, but it lands after a period of persistent analyst caution.
SPG saw its average target nudge down to $236.89 from $237.42. The mall REIT still attracts a consensus leaning toward Buy, with 14 Hold ratings and no Sells recorded.
