Two upgrades stood out this week. ADSK received a fresh upgrade, pushing the consensus target to $315. The design software giant carries a $45.5B market cap. Short interest is light at 3.5% of free float — bears are not pressing.
MCO also earned an upgrade. Moody's now has a consensus target of $562. The credit rating firm has an $85B market cap. Just 1.5% of its free float is shorted. Analysts see room to run.
PLTR got a target price lift to $194. The AI data company is now a $401B giant. Despite its massive valuation, short interest sits at just 3.1% of free float.
Not all news was positive. NOW saw its average target price trimmed to $142. HON also suffered a cut, with the consensus slipping to $263 from $264.
CRM received a small target boost to $272. The enterprise software firm retains broad analyst support with 38 buy-equivalent ratings.
The pattern this week is clear. Software and financial data names are drawing fresh bullish calls. Industrial names face modest pressure on targets.
