With the trading day about halfway over, the broad markets were again somewhat mixed. The Dow Jones industrial average was leading the major indexes on the back of solid bank earnings. The Nasdaq saw a small loss despite bitcoin reaching a new high, and the S&P 500 was more or less trading sideways.

24/7 Wall St. is looking at some big analyst calls that we have seen so far on Wednesday. We have included the latest analyst call on each stock, as well as a recent trading history and the consensus targets among analysts.

For those that might have missed it, 24/7 Wall St. had an earlier round of analyst calls on Wednesday that included Alphabet, Facebook, Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s, Snap and more.
