The futures were mixed on Tuesday, after investors and traders kicked off November with all three of the major indexes once again posting all-time highs. Market pundits continue to cite the very strong third-quarter earnings as the major reason for the continued strength, but some across Wall Street also have noted the possible easing of the supply-chain issues, and a sharp drop in COVID-19 cases. The big focus this week will remain the October nonfarm payroll report scheduled for Friday.
24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week with a goal of finding new ideas for investors and traders alike. Some of these daily analyst calls cover stocks to buy. Other calls cover stocks to sell or avoid. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock. Consensus analyst target data is from Refinitiv.
These are the top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations seen on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
