BMO Capital delivered the sharpest call of the day, downgrading PTC to Hold from Buy. The target fell from $205 to $164, a 20% cut, leaving the industrial software firm nursing a short interest of 5.3% of free float.
Bernstein went the other way on energy, initiating Constellation Energy with a Buy and a $296 target. The nuclear power operator carries a market cap of nearly $95 billion. Reactor output data from ORTEX alt data shows VST, a nuclear peer, clocking output 10 standard deviations above its own history as recently as 9 September, signalling the sector is running hard.
