William Blair cut FIS from Buy to Hold on Thursday, the sharpest rating change of the day for the fintech giant. The firm issued no revised price target. FIS carries a market cap of $20.1 billion. Short interest sits at just 3.8% of free float, so bears are not piling in yet.

UBS ran a wide sweep of target price revisions across multiple sectors. The bank's most dramatic cut fell on EME. UBS trimmed its target on EMCOR Group to $925 from $1,065, a $140 reduction, while keeping its Buy rating intact. EMCOR has a $31 billion market cap. The cut stands out given the stock commands analyst consensus that skews strongly bullish.

On the more positive side, UBS lifted its target on ECHO to $160 from $150. EchoStar carries significant short interest at 17.4% of free float. A $16.3 billion market cap stock with that level of short interest and a fresh Buy-rated target hike makes it one of the more interesting setups from today's action.

AMGN received a target bump to $440 from $384 at Canaccord Genuity, though the Hold rating remained unchanged. Medicare Advantage enrolment hit a record 36.2 million beneficiaries in July 2026, crossing 51% penetration, a backdrop that may support biotech sentiment broadly.

KDP and DD also received UBS target increases, both retaining Buy ratings.
