Calavo Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: CVGW) is one company many investors do not know, and it trades just over 100,000 shares per day. The company distributes avocados, fruit and many other prepackaged perishable foods, and the California-based company dates back to the 1920s. Its stock even hit a new high this week, up 2.4% over the past week and up over 4% in the past month, ahead of Wednesday’s gains.
Shares of Calavo Growers were up 4.5% at $58.09. The consensus analyst price target is $60.67, and the 52-week trading range is $37.50 to $58.12. The company has a market cap of $1 billion.
Neos Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOS) is a small-cap stock and a recent IPO, and it is focused on treating ADHD. Still, one has to wonder, because it hit a post-IPO high on Wednesday. It recently was given big upside by its analysts. Because it only recently became a public company, no color is being added. Ahead of Wednesday, its stock was up over 6.5% in the past week and up almost 20% in the past month.
Shares were last seen up 3.5% at $24.70 on Wednesday, in a post-IPO trading range of $17.10 to $25.17. The company has a total market cap of $358 million. This was a mere 4.8 million share IPO at $15.00 per share.

Oshkosh Corp. (NYSE: OSK) may be trading higher as a result of it winning a $6.7 billion contract to replace the Army’s Hummers, but this stock was hanging in there ahead of the news. Before the news broke, it was down only about 2% over the past week and was still up over 4% in the past month. Oshkosh was still down about 20% so far this year ahead of the news pop.
Oshkosh shares were last seen up 5.4% at $40.61, thanks to that big contact announcement, and it has a market cap of $3.2 billion. The consensus price target is $43.19, and the 52-week range is $32.56 to $55.69.
Southwest Gas Corp. (NYSE: SWX) received an upgrade from Argus in late July, but it had less than awesome earnings in early August that had limited some gains. Since that time, shares have tried to hang on. Ahead of Wednesday, it was down 1.5% in the past week but up about 1% over the past month.
Shares of Southwest Gas were down 0.8% at $55.25, in its 52-week range of $48.23 to $64.20. The consensus price target is $60.50 and the market cap is $2.6 billion.
Tech Data Corp. (NASDAQ: TECD) seems interesting to have avoided the carnage, and much of that is after a big post-earnings pop a week earlier. The electronics distribution giant, ahead of Wednesday, was up almost 6% in the past week and up almost 8% in the past month, even though it was still down almost 6% so far in 2015.
Tech Data shares were up 1.9% at $61.09. The 52-week range is $52.22 to $70.09. The market cap is $2.2 billion and the consensus price target is $64.60.
