Ciena Corporation grabbed attention after Morgan Stanley's Meta Marshall raised her target to $490 from $405. The networking gear maker's consensus average target now stands at $565. That is a sharp jump. Short interest sits at just 3.1% of free float, so bears are not pressing the trade.
lululemon athletica drew conflicting calls. Freedom Broker upgraded shares from Sell to Hold. Bernstein's Aneesha Sherman cut her target to $145 from $170 in the same session. The stock carries a $13.7B market cap. Short interest is 6.2% of free float — modest but climbing. The divergence between the two calls signals real disagreement on the outlook.
Linde was upgraded by one analyst, nudging the consensus from 21 Holds to 20. The industrial gas giant has a $234B market cap. Cost to borrow is elevated at 9.4%, which suggests some short-side pressure despite the bullish call.
Campbell's saw Morgan Stanley trim its target to $21 from $23. The stock already carries a bearish consensus of four Sells against just one Buy. That target cut reinforces a tough setup for the consumer staples name.
