Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) is not exactly as well liked as others even after its former brother was acquired. This stock was raised to Outperform by Zacks and it was even given the Bull of the Day status.
NASDAQ OMX Group (NASDAQ: NDAQ) is another stock we consider a value stock and it has many opportunities ahead. The current market has shares depressed and the stock’s close on Friday was $22.26 with a 52-week
range of $18.61 to $29.71. On Wednesday it was raised to Buy at Deutsche Bank with a $27.00 price target. That still gives much upside and it is actually under the consensus price target of $28.72.
SodaStream International Ltd. (NASDAQ: SODA) has been absolutely butchered as the cult following has abandoned ship. But on Tuesday it was raised to Overweight at JPMorgan and then again later in the week it was given bullish remarks by Oppenheimer. At $38.75, the 52-week range is $23.15 to $79.72.
The Talbots Inc. (NYSE: TLB) had an analyst fist fight this week. The stock was raised to Neutral with a $3.00 price target at Piper Jaffray. Earlier in the week it was downgraded to Neutral from Buy by Stern Agee. At $2.83 and with a 52-week range of $2.25 to $13.43, Talbot’s is one of those stories that is going to be a huge recovery trade or is one that will crash and burn.
Teavana Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TEA) was also given a full suite of cautious analyst coverage by analysts at its underwriting firms after its quiet period ended. Shares lost about 10% on the coverage.
Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO) was Cut to Sell at Goldman Sachs on Friday and the firm gave only a $22 price target. This is painful because many have been hoping that the refining stocks are mending their ways with oil prices and margins. Apparently not as the $23.45 close on Friday still leaves much projected downside.
TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) is one of those company that many of us just cannot really figure out the value in the new digital media world. Many are still bullish, and on Friday came the call from Brean Murray initiating coverage with a BUY rating and a $14.00 price target objective. That is a call for close to 35% upside and the consensus price target is actually higher at $14.50.
