Wednesday brought a wave of bullish sentiment from Wall Street, as several major analysts launched coverage on high-profile stocks with Buy ratings and optimistic price targets. Here's the rundown of what the Street is saying about five companies that caught analyst attention.
Wingstop Gets Wings
Freedom Capital Markets analyst Lynne Collier initiated coverage on Wingstop Inc (WING) with a Buy rating and a price target of $320. That represents significant upside from Tuesday's closing price of $246.56, suggesting Collier sees roughly 30% appreciation potential in the chicken wing specialist.
Salesforce Earns Fresh Buy Rating
BTIG analyst Allan Verkhovski launched coverage on Salesforce Inc (CRM) with a Buy rating and a $335 price target. With shares closing at $254.91 on Tuesday, Verkhovski's target implies about 31% upside for the cloud software giant. The bullish initiation adds another positive voice to the chorus of analysts following the enterprise software leader.
Robinhood Gets Aggressive Target
Truist Securities analyst David Smith initiated coverage on Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) with a Buy rating and a $155 price target. That's a particularly optimistic call given Robinhood shares closed at $119.40 on Tuesday, implying nearly 30% upside. The trading platform has been riding momentum from cryptocurrency volatility and retail trading activity.
AAR Corp Takes Flight
Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu began coverage on AAR Corp (AIR) with a Buy rating and a $100 price target. The aviation services company closed at $81.49 on Tuesday, giving Kahyaoglu's target about 23% upside potential. AAR provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for commercial and government aircraft.
Coinbase Gets Crypto-Bullish Call
Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Bedell initiated coverage on Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) with a Buy rating and a $340 price target. With shares closing at $252.61 on Tuesday, that target suggests roughly 35% appreciation potential for the cryptocurrency exchange operator. The bullish stance comes as crypto markets continue to draw institutional and retail interest.
All five initiations share a common thread: experienced analysts at major firms see meaningful upside in these stocks. Whether it's enterprise software, retail trading, aviation services, crypto exchanges, or chicken wings, Wednesday's coverage launches painted an optimistic picture across diverse sectors of the market.
