Analysts are weighing in on electric car company Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), tech concern Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), and software company Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL). Here's a quick roundup of today's bullish brokerage notes on shares of TSLA, MU, and ORCL.
Goldman Sachs upgraded Micron Technology stock to "buy" from "neutral" and raised its price target to $40 from $33. The new target stands about 15% above the two-year high of $34.80 set earlier in today's session, with MU last seen trading up 0.5% at $34.45.
Goldman is late to the party with today's upgrade, as most analysts are already optimistic towards the technology concern. Of the 14 brokerage firms following MU stock, 13 have issued "buy" or "strong buy" recommendations.
Oracle stock received a price-target boost to $58 from $56 at Wedbush this morning, as the brokerage backed its rating of "outperform." This bullish note comes just ahead of ORCL's fiscal first-quarter earnings report, which is due out after the close on Thursday.
The software stock reached a record high of $52.89 yesterday, and sports a year-to-date gain of 37%. However, ORCL is trading fractionally lower at $52.76.
In the options pits, traders have been taking an optimistic approach on ORCL. The equity's ISE/CBOE/PHLX 50-day call/put volume ratio of 3.35 ranks in the 73rd percentile of all other ratios from the past 52 weeks. This suggests a significant skew toward bullish bets over bearish in recent months.
