Analysts turned bullish on cybersecurity this week. CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks both received target price increases. The consensus target on CRWD now stands at $587. That is up from $571 just days ago. PANW also drew a fresh new recommendation. Its average target sits near $305.
The biggest mover by percentage was Robinhood Markets. The consensus target jumped to $99.40. Robinhood's market cap has already surged past $69 billion. Short interest remains modest at 4.8% of free float.
Broadcom got a quieter boost. Its average target edged up to $489. Analysts are broadly bullish — 43 buys versus zero sells.
On the downside, Dollar General saw its target trimmed to $131. That is down from $135. The discount retailer has struggled with consumer spending pressure. Eighteen analysts hold the stock as a hold.
Medtronic also saw multiple changes. The consensus shifted slightly. Holds rose while sells were trimmed. The average target fell to $103 from $106.
The clearest theme is tech and cybersecurity attracting fresh buying calls. Consumer discretionary and healthcare face more cautious price targets.
