Scotiabank Lifts Targa 22%; Cooper Downgraded

Midstream energy giant TRGP grabbed the biggest analyst headline today. Scotiabank's Brandon Bingham raised his price target to $314 from $257 — a 22% jump — while keeping a Buy rating. The $62 billion company carries short interest of just 2.5% of free float. That's a clean long-side setup with short sellers largely absent.

By contrast, Bingham cut his target on pipeline peer WMB to $85 from $86, holding the Buy rating. The modest trim hints at relative-value rotation within midstream rather than sector concern.

The medical device space saw a genuine downgrade. William Blair's Steven Lichtman cut COO to Hold from Buy. The Cooper Companies trades at a $12.4 billion market cap. Short interest sits at 3.9% of free float — low, but the lack of a target price from Blair suggests limited near-term visibility.

Adtech name TTD drew a small consensus target increase to $13.57 from $13.53. The move is minor, but the stock already carries nearly 20% short interest as a share of free float. Any sustained analyst upgrade cycle could pressure those shorts.

Consensus updates also trimmed a Tesla recommendation, leaving TSLA with 19 buys and 20 holds in the panel.
