Analysts are bullish on AI infrastructure and cybersecurity. The moves are large and widespread.
DELL is the headline story. JP Morgan's Samik Chatterjee raised his target from $280 to $500 — a 79% jump. That pushed the consensus average target to $429, up from $220. The firm also upgraded the stock. Dell carries a $103 billion market cap. Short interest sits at just 6.7% of free float. Sellers are not fighting this trend.
Jefferies made two big calls in cybersecurity. The firm raised its target on CrowdStrike from $500 to $775. It also lifted Palo Alto Networks to $300 from $265. Both remain Buy-rated. CrowdStrike has a $171 billion market cap.
NetApp also saw targets jump sharply. JP Morgan moved its price target from $110 to $150. The consensus average is now $163. NetApp's short interest is 11.7% of free float — notably higher than peers.
Dollar Tree saw multiple analyst changes today. The consensus target rose slightly to $124. Retailers remain a mixed picture for the Street.
Autodesk target prices ticked down overall despite a fresh Buy initiation from DA Davidson at $325. Diverging views signal uncertainty ahead of results.
