The stock market was taking a needed breather on Thursday, but a rise in COVID-19 cases and some realities about the economic recovery’s strength had equity futures down close to 3% in the morning. The investing community had seen gain after gain as the economy was opening up, and the markets had been looking beyond the bad news around economic readings, earnings and civil unrest.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week. Our goal is to find new ideas for long-term investors and short-term traders alike. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, and some cover stocks to sell or avoid.

What has happened in this last drive of the gains is that many analyst calls have included upgrades and price target hikes, but in many cases stocks are managing to move even beyond what the ratings and expectations might have indicated.

Remember, no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision. Consensus analyst target prices are from Refinitiv.
