Commodity and chip design stocks drew the most analyst activity this week.
Newmont Corporation received a new analyst recommendation from consensus. The gold miner now carries an average target price of $143.48, up slightly from $144.00. Newmont holds a $114.6 billion market cap. Gold prices near record highs keep the stock in focus.
Freeport-McMoRan also received a fresh consensus recommendation. The copper giant's average target sits at $67.95. Analysts added one new buy, pushing the bull count to 19. Copper demand tied to AI infrastructure and energy transition keeps FCX on watch lists.
On the tech side, Synopsys saw its average target price nudge up to $539.69 from $535.42. The EDA software maker carries a $95.6 billion market cap. Seven analysts hold a "Hold" rating. Its pending merger with Ansys remains a key catalyst.
Retail took hits. Ralph Lauren and Williams-Sonoma both saw target prices trimmed. Deere & Company also had its target cut, averaging $662.71 now. Tariff uncertainty and softer consumer spending weighed on all three calls.
Walmart received a new recommendation. Consensus remains heavily bullish with 36 buy ratings — the strongest buy-side support in this week's data.
