Aerospace and memory chip stocks lead today's analyst activity. Target prices are moving up across several sectors, with a clear bullish tilt in industrials and AI-adjacent names.
Caterpillar received two upward target price revisions in quick succession. The consensus average target now sits at $903.68, up from $890.64 just days ago. CAT carries a $413B market cap and short interest is a low 1.9% of free float.
Howmet Aerospace also saw its consensus target lifted to $298.17. The aerospace components maker has an $108B market cap. Only 18 analysts have a buy rating, with no sell coverage — Wall Street is firmly in its corner.
Micron Technology got a notable target boost to $563.19, up from $556. The $842B chip giant continues to attract bullish calls as AI-driven memory demand holds strong.
On the downside, PACCAR and Illinois Tool Works both saw consensus targets trimmed slightly. Palantir also saw a marginal target cut, though its 19 buy ratings still dwarf its 6 sell ratings.
Datadog and Arista Networks rounded out the tech winners, with fresh upward target revisions reflecting steady cloud and networking demand.
