Despite a pre-Brexit vote rally on Monday, stocks were again higher on Tuesday with the expectation that Britain will remain in the European Union. The reasons seem to differ each and every time, but investors have bought every single market sell-off for years now. Even high stock market valuations are not driving investors away.
24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week. The goal is to find new investing and trading ideas for our readers. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, while others feature stocks to sell or avoid.
These are the top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations seen on Tuesday morning:
Coeur Mining Inc. (NYSE: CDE) was started with a Sector Perform rating and was given a $9 price target (versus a $9.64 prior close) at RBC Capital Markets. It has a consensus analyst price target of $8.28 and a 52-week trading range of $1.62 to $9.78 (and that high was yesterday).
Laredo Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: LPI) was started with an Overweight rating and given a $14 price target (versus an $11.38 close) at Barclays. It has a consensus target price of $12.09 and a 52-week range of $3.90 to $14.39.
