Wall Street research desks delivered several notable upgrades today, driving attention across tech, gaming, consumer staples and healthcare. Here are the top five calls investors are watching, according to The Fly compilation:
Jefferies upgraded Apple (AAPL) to Hold from Underperform and raised its price target to $246.99 from $203.07 after the company reported September-quarter revenue growth of roughly 8% and a stronger-than-expected gross margin of 47.2%, aided by a $1.1 billion tariff benefit. Jefferies expects steadier momentum ahead.
Goldman Sachs upgraded Roblox (RBLX) to Buy from Neutral and lifted its price target to $180 from $155 following the company’s Q3 results. The firm cited improving bookings, revenue, and daily active user traction, noting growing confidence in long-term platform monetization.
BTIG upgraded Unity (U) to Neutral from Sell and removed its prior $27 price target. The move followed two industry surveys indicating healthier-than-expected spending trends across performance advertising channels, including Unity and AppLovin, despite ongoing mixed advertiser sentiment.
Piper Sandler upgraded Hershey (HSY) to Neutral from Underweight, maintaining its $167 price target. The firm said Hershey’s “on-algorithm” profit and growth planning for 2026 gives better visibility into the company’s execution path.
Stifel upgraded Idexx Laboratories (IDXX) to Buy from Hold and boosted its price target to $700 from $640. The brokerage expects accelerating recurring revenue growth in the company’s Companion Animal Group over the next couple of years, supported by improving demand trends and stable pricing.
