Wall Street analysts rolled out five new coverage initiations Monday, with Barclays setting a bullish $100 price target on Louisiana-Pacific Corp and BTIG projecting major upside potential for Canaan Inc. The calls span building materials, bitcoin mining, business development, data storage, and marine recreation sectors.

Monday brought a fresh batch of analyst opinions as five Wall Street firms launched coverage on companies spanning industries from building materials to bitcoin mining.

The most aggressive call came from BTIG analyst Gregory Lewis, who initiated coverage on Canaan Inc. (CAN) with a Buy rating and a $3 price target. That's quite the optimistic stance considering Canaan shares closed Friday at just $0.93, meaning Lewis is projecting potential gains north of 220%.

Citizens analyst Brian McKenna kicked off coverage on Main Street Capital Corp (MAIN) with a Market Outperform rating and a $70 price target. The business development company finished Friday's session at $60.73, giving McKenna's target roughly 15% upside from current levels.

The headline initiation came from Barclays analyst Matthew Bouley, who launched coverage on Louisiana-Pacific Corp (LPX) with an Overweight rating and set a $100 price target. The building materials company closed at $84.21 on Friday, meaning Bouley sees about 19% upside potential ahead.

Taking a more measured approach, JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur initiated coverage on SanDisk Corp (SNDK) with a Neutral rating and a $235 price target. SanDisk shares ended Friday at $228.47, so Sur's target represents modest appreciation of roughly 3%.

Rounding out Monday's initiation coverage, Seaport Global analyst Gerrick Johnson started following Brunswick Corp (BC) with a Buy rating and a $90 price target. The marine recreation company closed Friday's trading at $70.01, giving Johnson's target about 29% upside from current prices.

These coverage initiations give investors new perspectives on companies across diverse sectors, from Louisiana-Pacific's building products business to Canaan's bitcoin mining operations. The range of price targets and ratings reflects the varied outlooks analysts have for different corners of the market as we head deeper into the week.
