Analysts lifted ratings on several names Wednesday. Two notable upgrades stood out from the crowd.
MOS — The Mosaic Company — received an upgrade that pushed its consensus from 6 holds to 7 holds with 2 buys. The fertiliser giant carries a $6.9B market cap. Its average analyst target sits near $27.72. Mosaic has faced pressure from weak potash prices. The upgrade signals at least one firm sees that headwind easing.
STE — STERIS plc — was also upgraded. A sell rating was dropped from the consensus. The medical sterilisation firm is valued at nearly $20B. Average target price moved up to $273.71. STERIS has been resilient despite broader healthcare sector volatility.
On the target price front, CASY saw its average target jump to $788.81 from $775.06. The convenience store operator has a $32.4B market cap. That target lift of over $13 per share is a meaningful vote of confidence.
AMD also got a target bump. Its consensus target rose to $456.79 from $451.58. The chip firm has 40 buy ratings versus zero sells. Analysts remain firmly bullish despite recent AI spending debate.
ADSK bucked the trend. Its target dipped slightly to $325.33. The design software group holds mostly hold ratings — 30 of them.
