Analyst target prices shifted sharply across two contrasting themes this week — retail trading platforms gaining ground while chemicals and industrials face renewed pressure.
Robinhood Markets saw its consensus target price nudge up to $98.44. The stock carries a market cap of nearly $59 billion. Short sellers are light, with just 4.2% of the free float shorted. That low conviction from bears supports the bullish analyst tone.
Coinbase Global also got a target lift, now sitting at a consensus $231.79. Short interest is higher at 11.7% of free float. Bulls and bears are both active here — but analysts are siding with the upside.
Interactive Brokers joined the upgrades, with its average target rising to $86.30. The broader theme is clear: Wall Street is warming to financial platforms tied to crypto and retail trading.
On the other side, chemicals took hits. LyondellBasell Industries saw its target trimmed to $79.35. Dow Inc. dropped to $42.63. also saw cuts, reflecting broader industrial caution.
The split between financials and industrials is one of the sharpest analyst patterns seen this week.
