Analysts have broadly lifted price targets this week. The moves span defence, utilities, cloud, and consumer goods.
Textron saw the sharpest upgrade interest. The aerospace and defence group's consensus target rose to $101.45 from $100.51. The company carries a $16.5bn market cap. Short interest sits at a modest 2.9% of free float. That leaves little friction for bulls.
Alliant Energy also received a target lift, with the consensus moving to $78.64. The utility stock has SI at 8.5% of free float. That is elevated for the sector and worth watching.
Amazon targets inched higher to $307.81 per share. All 59 analysts covering the stock rate it a Buy. That is one of the most one-sided reads on the Street right now.
Alphabet joined the tech upswing. Its consensus target rose to $415.38. Short interest is near zero.
On the downside, Microsoft saw its average target trimmed slightly to $560.81. It keeps 51 Buy ratings. The cut is marginal but notable given recent tariff uncertainty.
Citigroup also saw a small target reduction. Analysts remain broadly positive on the bank despite macro headwinds.
