Bank of America's Vivek Arya raised his price target on AMD to $720 from $620 on Thursday. That $100 jump is the biggest single target move in today's analyst activity. AMD carries a $1 trillion market cap. Short interest sits at just 2.5% of free float.
Bernstein made a bold call on CF Industries, initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a $162 target. The fertiliser maker has an $18.3 billion market cap. Short interest is 6.3% of free float. Analysts are split — 13 Holds against just 4 Buys — so Bernstein is swimming against the consensus tide.
Baird lifted its target on Charles River Laboratories to $334 from $291. That's a 14.8% increase. The contract research firm trades at a $13.2 billion market cap with SI at 4.7% of FF.
Darden Restaurants got mixed signals. Freedom Capital Markets raised its target to $260. BMO Capital cut to $220. The conflicting calls leave the stock with no clear direction from the Street.
GoDaddy got a quiet boost. Baird hiked its target to $120 from $110, maintaining Buy.
