Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading slightly lower Wednesday afternoon, despite the company posting impressive second-quarter results and an outlook that spurred a wave of analyst upgrades. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RCL">need to know</a>.
What To Know: On Tuesday the cruise operator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46682184/royal-caribbean-group-reports-second-quarter-results-and-increases-full-year-guidance">announced</a> strong second-quarter earnings, reporting an adjusted EPS of $4.38, sailing past Wall Street&#8217;s consensus estimate of $4.05. 
Revenue for the quarter also beat expectations, coming in at $4.54 billion. The company highlighted that booked load factors and rates are at an all-time high for all future sailings, driven by strong demand and resilient consumer spending.
Buoyed by the strong performance, Royal Caribbean raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $15.41 to $15.55. The company also increased its full-year adjusted EBITDA forecast to approximately $5.95 billion. Management credited the results to strong ticket pricing and robust onboard revenue.
In response to the report, Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RCL/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> were overwhelmingly positive on Wednesday. A flurry of firms reiterated their Buy or Overweight ratings and increased their price targets.
Stifel raised its target to $420, Citigroup increased its target to $399, and JPMorgan lifted its target to $367. Despite the strong results and bullish analyst sentiment, the stock&#8217;s modest pullback may suggest a sell-the-news reaction or minor profit-taking by investors after the stock&#8217;s 111% run higher over the past year.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, Royal Caribbean exhibits extremely strong momentum with a score of 93.86 out of 100. The company also receives a high score for growth at 77.30, reflecting its solid financial expansion. 
Conversely, its value score is more moderate at 47.28, suggesting the stock may not be considered undervalued based on current metrics. Reinforcing the high momentum score, the data also shows a positive price trend across short, medium, and long-term timeframes.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RCL shares are trading lower by 1.25% to $330.25 Wednesday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $355.91 and a 52-week low of $130.08.

Peloton Stock Is Rising Higher Wednesday: What's Going On?

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) saw its stock trading lower on Wednesday, despite Wall Street analysts reiterating their ratings after the company reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter financial results on Tuesday.
The fintech firm surpassed revenue and earnings estimates, driven by robust growth in its loan platform business and a significant increase in members and products, leading to Needham raising its price target on the stock.
SoFi reported second-quarter revenue of $858.23 million, beating analyst estimates of $801.49 million. Total revenue was up 44% as fee-based revenue climbed 72%.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45081468/sofi-stock-pops-as-revenue-soars-and-ceo-teases-crypto-comeback" rel="noreferrer noopener">SoFi Stock Pops As Revenue Soars And CEO Teases Crypto Comeback</a>
Members grew 34% to 11.7 million and products increased 34% year-over-year to 17.1 million. SoFi originated&nbsp;$8.8 billion&nbsp;in loans during the quarter.
SoFi raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook from a range of $3.24 billion to $3.31 billion to a new target of approximately $3.38 billion versus estimates of $3.27 billion.
In response to the strong results, Needham analyst Kyle Peterson reiterated a Buy rating on SoFi and increased his price forecast from $20 to $25. Conversely, Citizens JMP Securities analyst Devin Ryan maintained a Market Perform rating.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Needham&#8217;s Take</h2>
Peterson praised SoFi&#8217;s second-quarter results, highlighting that revenue and earnings significantly exceeded expectations and Street estimates. The outperformance was driven primarily by strong growth in SoFi&#8217;s loan platform business, which continues to benefit from resilient demand in private credit.
SoFi reported GAAP revenue of $854.9 million (+46% Y/Y), beating the analyst&#8217;s $805.5 million estimate and the $814.6 million consensus. Adjusted revenue of $858.2 million also exceeded forecasts.
GAAP EPS reached 8 cents, topping the analyst&#8217;s 6 cents estimate and consensus. EBITDA reached $249.1 million, well above the projected $207.5 million, thanks to revenue strength and improved operating leverage. Although net interest margin (NIM) declined slightly to 5.86% (versus 5.95% estimated), this was attributed to balance sheet mix shifts.
Following earnings, SoFi raised its fiscal 2025 guidance, now expecting net revenue of ~$3.375 billion (prior: $3.235 billion–$3.310 billion), EBITDA of ~$960 million (prior: $875 million–$895 million), and EPS of 31 cents (prior: 27 cents–28 cents).
Shortly after the report, SoFi completed a $1.5 billion secondary common stock offering at $20.85 per share, which Peterson viewed as opportunistically timed. This capital raise is expected to boost total risk-based capital by ~440 basis points, bringing it to an estimated 18.8%, a level the analyst sees as healthy given SoFi&#8217;s asset mix and growth profile. The analyst noted this improved capital position enhances SoFi&#8217;s appeal to institutional investors.
Citing stronger fundamentals and improved financial flexibility, Peterson raised his fiscal 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates.
The valuation is based on a sum-of-the-parts model that assigns $18 per share to the lending segment (at 2.5 times expected TBV) and $7 per share to the technology, financial services, and fee-based businesses, valued at ~7 times fiscal 2026 estimated revenue.
This valuation reflects the firm&#8217;s view of SoFi as a high-growth FinTech with a compelling long-term outlook. Peterson projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $3.38 billion and GAAP EPS of 31 cents.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Citizens JMP Securities&#8217; Perspective</h2>
Ryan described SoFi&#8217;s second-quarter fiscal 2025 as another standout quarter. Revenue and earnings were well above expectations, driven by exceptional loan platform performance.
Lending volumes remained strong, with $8.8 billion in originations (up 64% Y/Y), and personal loan originations hitting a record $4.5 billion. The analyst noted improving conditions for student and home loans, driven by waning federal support and expectations of falling interest rates, alongside SoFi&#8217;s more sophisticated go-to-market strategies.
The loan platform business (LPB) continues to gain traction, growing volume by over 50% quarter-over-quarter to $2.4 billion. Ryan highlighted LPB as a valuation-enhancing growth engine, with ample capacity and potential expansion into new loan categories.
In the technology segment, SoFi generated $33 million in contribution profit at a 30% margin, and management reiterated its outlook for low double-digit to teens revenue growth in 2025. SoFi expects 10 new clients to generate revenue in the first quarter of 2026, up from zero in the first quarter of 2025, pointing to future momentum.
The analyst also flagged early integration of blockchain and AI. SoFi discussed automating international peer-to-peer money transfers via blockchain, re-launching crypto investing, and exploring asset tokenization and treasury-linked stablecoin revenue.
On the AI side, the firm launched Cash Coach to help users optimize cash, with broader AI-enabled financial guidance expected to deepen customer engagement and asset consolidation over time.
Following strong results, SoFi raised full-year 2025 guidance. Although Ryan had recently downgraded the stock to Market Perform from Market Outperform (citing valuation concerns after a strong run), he acknowledged the quarter was even better than expected.
The analyst remains constructive on SoFi&#8217;s long-term optionality, particularly around blockchain, AI, and potential M&amp;A, but sees the risk and reward as balanced at current valuation levels in the low-to-mid $20s.
Their long-term model assumes revenues could triple by 2030, EBITDA margins could expand into the mid-30% range, and EPS could grow to ~$1.75+, supporting a fair value in the mid-$20 range when applying a 25 times multiple and a 13% discount rate.
Ryan projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $3.32 billion and adjusted EPS of 28 cents.
Price Action: SOFI stock is trading lower by 3.37% to $21.67 at last check Wednesday.

SoFi's Loan Platform Shines In Q2, Driving Profitability And Growth

A woman from Raleigh, North Carolina, called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1E2hq8-BsA">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; recently with a jaw-dropping financial dilemma.&nbsp;
Allie, who has been with her boyfriend for over a decade, recently learned he secretly racked up $80,000 in credit card debt. Now, he wants her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit on a house she doesn't even own.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">He Took Care Of Her After A Tragedy, Now She's Paying All The Bills</h2>
Allie said she only discovered the debt when her boyfriend hit a financial wall. "He hit the end of the rope," she told co-hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw. That's when she learned he had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46604888/keep-your-utilization-rates-low-humphrey-yangs-top-tip-for-a-better-credit-score">maxed out every credit card</a>. He also still owes $40,000 in student loans.

</ul>
His spending problem? Classic cars. Allie explained that he runs a restoration shop but is terrible at managing the business side. "He sees a car he wants, he gets it. He cycles through like three or four sports cars a year," she said.
Despite living with him for the last two years, her name isn&#8217;t on the mortgage. He recently asked her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit, or HELOC, so he could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/heloc-to-pay-off-credit-card-debt">pay off the credit card debt</a>. Allie immediately knew that was a bad idea. "If he takes one of those sports cars and wraps her around a telephone pole, I&#8217;m stuck with his debt for the rest of my life," she said.&nbsp;
Allie admitted she briefly considered helping because of what he did for her in the past. After a devastating car accident left her with spinal injuries and a traumatic brain injury, Allie lost her house, car, job and life savings. Her health insurance company sued her to recover the $500,000 they had spent on her care. With nowhere else to go, she moved in with her boyfriend, who helped her recover.
But now, she's the one carrying the financial burden. "I&#8217;m currently paying all of our bills," she said. "Because he has nothing to pay them with."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Married, No Ring, No Security</h2>
Kamel and Warshaw were straightforward: she should not feel guilty or obligated to co-sign anything. "If somebody does something out of an act of generosity, they&#8217;re not looking to be paid back," Warshaw said.
They also pointed out how financially risky her situation has become. "You're paying his bills and you're broke," Kamel told her. "You&#8217;re not really gaining as much as you think."
Allie revealed she now earns about $35,000 a year, down from $70,000 before her injuries. Her health limitations keep her from taking more physically demanding jobs. And she said she feels trapped because she doesn't make enough to afford a place of her own.
Still, she admitted that if she had more money, she would leave the relationship.&nbsp;
Kamel and Warshaw encouraged her to keep searching for a rental or roommate situation. "There's a bunch of great girls out there who would love a great roommate like Allie who can pay her fair share," Kamel said. "He has chosen his obsession over you."

As advancements in cancer treatment continue to evolve, the pursuit of more effective therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer remains a critical focus in the pharmaceutical industry. Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDF#NASDAQ">CRDF</a>) on Tuesday released data from the ongoing CRDF-004 Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating onvansertib in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) in patients with first-line RAS-mutated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)</a>.
Patients were randomized to one of six arms, including 20mg of onvansertib plus SoC, 30mg of onvansertib plus SoC, or SoC alone.
The overall objective response rate (ORR) was 59% on the high dose and 50% in the 20 mg dose, compared to a 43% response <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46704927/cardiff-oncology-announces-positive-data-from-ongoing-randomized-phase-2-first-line-ras-mutated-mc" rel="noreferrer noopener">rate in the control arm</a>.
After removing the ORRs at 6 months, the confirmed ORRs for the high-dose, low-dose, and control arms were 49%, 42%, and 30%, respectively.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Onvansertib Shows Promise With High Response Rates</h2>
For comparison, December 2024 data showed an ORR of 57% in all onvansertib patients, with 50% in the 20mg dose of onvansertib + SoC arm and 64% in the 30mg dose of onvansertib + SoC arm, compared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42416310/whats-going-on-with-cardiff-oncology-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">33% in the SoC alone arm</a>.
Spider Plots, displaying the change in tumor size from baseline for each patient over time, demonstrate deeper responses in patients receiving the 30mg dose of onvansertib combined with the SoC compared to the control arm and the 20mg dose of onvansertib arm.

Both the 20mg and 30mg onvansertib arms demonstrated an early separation of the progression-free Survival (PFS) curves compared to the control arm at a median follow-up time of 6 months.
While the median PFS has not been reached, a dose-dependent effect was observed in favor of the 30mg onvansertib dose.
The safety analysis was conducted for the 104 patients dosed in the trial. Onvansertib, in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab, was well-tolerated, and no major or unexpected toxicities were observed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can This Drug Change Colorectal Cancer Outcomes?</h2>
Grade 3 or higher adverse events were infrequent, with neutropenia being the most common treatment-emergent adverse event associated with onvansertib.
Update on first-line mCRC program expected by the first quarter of 2026.
William Blair believes the current data on onvansertib justifies further investment, including moving forward with a Phase 3 trial.
The overall data shows that onvansertib is clearly effective, which analyst Andy Hsieh says weakens the bearish argument against the stock.
The key question is whether the ORR improvement will result in a meaningful gain in PFS, the main measure needed for approval.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Dose Variations Impact Patient Survival Rates</h2>
Looking at past data, even a modest improvement in response rates—like the 11% increase seen in the Phase 3 TRIBE study—can result in a successful outcome in key trials, especially if it also boosts PFS.
In the Phase 3 BREAKWATER study for BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer, a 20% jump in response rate led to meaningful gains in PFS and overall survival.
Analyst Hsieh writes that the current valuation reflects considerable skepticism regarding the compound's clinical profile, which William Blair disagrees with.
William Blair holds a bullish view that onvansertib could potentially disrupt the RAS-mutated frontline mCRC treatment paradigm. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRDF/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reiterates Outperform rating</a>.

Rebellions, a South Korea-based AI semiconductor company, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46686169/rebellions-announces-collaboration-with-marvell-to-deliver-custom-ai-infrastructure-for-sovereign-" rel="noreferrer noopener">has partnered with</a> Marvell to develop high-performance, energy-efficient AI systems designed explicitly for sovereign-backed and regionally focused AI initiatives across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Through this collaboration, Rebellions will design custom AI accelerators using Marvell's advanced silicon platform, which includes cutting-edge packaging, high-speed SerDes, and die-to-die interconnect technology.
The partnership aims to deliver tightly integrated, rack-scale AI inference systems that meet the growing demand for scalable, efficient, and sovereign-controlled AI infrastructure—marking a strategic shift from traditional GPU-based architectures to specialized ASIC-driven solutions tailored for national competitiveness.
Marvell stock has plunged over 25% year-to-date, lagging behind the NASDAQ Composite Index's 10% gains, as concerns about the Trump administration's tariff policy and macroeconomic uncertainties weigh on the stock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recent AI Policy Shifts</h2>
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46700433/broadcom-stock-is-trending-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">Recent developments have</a> reshaped the semiconductor industry's interconnected landscape, influencing valuations.
The U.S. recently paused tech export restrictions to China to avoid disrupting trade talks and to support President Donald Trump's efforts to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to the Financial Times.
This policy shift aligns with Nvidia's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) move to resume H20 AI chip sales to China, effectively reversing an earlier Trump-era ban. The change could benefit U.S. chipmakers as trade negotiations resume in Stockholm.
The White House fueled industry optimism by launching "Winning the AI Race: America's AI Action Plan," detailing over 90 federal initiatives to strengthen AI leadership, innovation, and infrastructure.
The administration plans to fast-track data centers and chip plant permits, boost workforce training, streamline regulations, and ensure fairness in AI-related contracts.
Meanwhile, Nvidia reportedly ordered 300,000 H20 AI chips from contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), signaling a shift in its production strategy.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) also gained ground by capitalizing on AI demand, raising the price of its MI350 chip to $25,000.
Price Action: MRVL stock was trading higher by 7.34% at $82.00 as of last check Wednesday.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Decline After Federal Reserve Holds Rates

Waste Management Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WM#NYSE">WM</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WM/earnings">closing bell on Monday.</a>
The company posted quarterly earnings of $1.92 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.89 per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $6.430 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $6.369 billion.

Waste Management Analysts Increase Their Forecasts After Strong Q2 Earnings

Pharmaceutical giants are navigating a complex landscape of fluctuating demand and regulatory hurdles, impacting their financial performance and strategic outlook. Merck &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) is the latest to face these challenges, as its recent earnings report reveals a mixed bag of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46692220/merck-ceo-sees-minimal-eu-tariffs-impact-warns-of-gardasil-challenges">successes and setbacks.</a>
Merck reported a mixed second-quarter earnings picture on Tuesday. Adjusted earnings exceeded analyst consensus, but overall sales declined slightly year-over-year and fell short of revenue expectations.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MRK is consolidating close to its 52-week bottom. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRK" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See real-time price here.</a></li>
</ul>
Investors were concerned about a significant drop in Gardasil vaccine sales, even as its blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda continued its strong growth trajectory.
Adjusted earnings per share of $2.13 surpassed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimates</a> of $2.04, marking a decline from the $2.28 reported in the prior-year period.
Total sales of $15.81 billion, a 2% year-over-year decrease, narrowly missed analysts&#8217; projections of $15.94 billion.

Bank of America (BofA) Securities lowered the price forecast from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRK/analyst-ratings">$99 to $98, with a Buy rating</a>.
BofA says its revenue estimates are about 1% to 2% lower, mainly due to weaker Gardasil sales, though this is partly balanced by stronger Keytruda performance. Merck has said it won&#8217;t be shipping Gardasil to China in 2025, and this delay may continue into 2026. BofA&#8217;s core earnings estimates remain mostly the same.
Analyst Tim Anderson noted during the investor call that the primary focus, surprisingly, wasn&#8217;t on Gardasil, even though its slightly weaker Q2 performance likely caused the stock to drop 8% at the open before recovering to close just 2% lower.
Instead, most of the discussion centered on the company&#8217;s cancer drugs, such as Keytruda, and its cardiovascular and kidney treatments, including Winrevair. Overall, the rest of the business appears to be performing well.
MRK Price Action: Merck &amp; Co shares were down 0.53% at $82.19 at the time of publication on Wednesday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">, according to Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Boeing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) second-quarter results on Tuesday revealed a wider-than-anticipated loss, despite strong revenue driven by a significant jump in commercial aircraft deliveries and an expanding order backlog.
This mixed financial performance underscores the aerospace giant&#8217;s ongoing efforts to stabilize operations amid persistent industry challenges.
Despite the quarterly earnings per share (EPS) miss, Wall Street analysts largely maintain a bullish outlook on Boeing. They cite solid delivery momentum, a strong backlog, and improving cash flow as key reasons for optimism.

Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, for instance, reiterated a Buy rating and modestly raised his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast</a> to $260 from $257, citing stronger-than-expected commercial deliveries and cash flow.
Similarly, Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Ronald J. Epstein maintained a Buy rating with a reaffirmed price forecast of $260, buoyed by robust jet demand and improving execution.
Boeing reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46689269/boeing-commercial-airplane-revenue-recovers-backlog-grows-to-619-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter</a> revenue of $22.75 billion, topping analyst expectations thanks to a 63% jump in commercial aircraft deliveries. However, the company posted an adjusted loss of $1.24 per share, wider than the $0.94 loss forecast, partly due to a $445 million charge tied to a Department of Justice settlement. Free cash outflow came in at $200 million, beating consensus estimates by over $1 billion.
Commercial airplane revenue surged 81% year-over-year to $10.87 billion. Boeing delivered 150 commercial jets during the quarter, helping backlog swell to $619 billion, including more than 5,900 aircraft orders worth $522 billion. The 737 program remained steady at 38 units per month, while the 787 ramped up to 7 per month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Take: Cautious Optimism With Focus On Execution</h2>
Goldman&#8217;s Poponak views Boeing&#8217;s second-quarter results as a broad beat, driven by stronger Commercial Aircraft deliveries, stabilized Defense margins, and solid Services performance. Free cash flow exceeded consensus by over $1 billion, prompting an upward revision to full-year guidance. While 737 and 787 production rates remain at 38 and 7 per month, respectively, demand supports further increases.
Poponak believes Boeing must still improve operational execution to restore normalized margins and regain investor confidence. If achieved, the stock offers substantial upside. He maintains a Buy rating with a revised $260 price target, based on a 3.0% FCF yield on 2026E. Key risks include supply chain constraints, air traffic growth uncertainty, and defense contract execution.
BofA&#8217;s Epstein maintains a Buy rating on Boeing after the second-quarter results, noting a strong free cash flow beat despite an EPS miss caused by a $445 million non-operating charge. He points to the ($200 million) FCF, well ahead of the ($1.8 billion) estimate, as a sign of improving execution through inventory drawdown and working capital gains.
Boeing beat free cash flow expectations, gaining altitude with strong operational performance, and plans to request a production rate increase for its 737 aircraft. This reflects confidence in the rising demand for commercial jets.
While Commercial and Defense margins came in below expectations, Epstein sees encouraging signals in Boeing&#8217;s plan to raise 737 MAX production to 42/month and a robust $522 billion backlog.
The price forecast of $260 is based on $9/share normalized FCF and a 1.2x S&amp;P 500 multiple. He cites strong jet demand and the F-47 ramp. Risks include the execution of new programs, labor constraints, and macro shocks to aviation demand.
Boeing said it remains focused on restoring trust, stabilizing operations, and executing on production targets amid a dynamic global backdrop. The company reaffirmed plans to increase 737 output later this year and emphasized continued progress on safety, quality, and long-term recovery.
Other analysts have also provided updates on the stock. RBC Capital&#8217;s Ken Herbert reiterated an Outperform rating, maintaining his price forecast at $250. UBS analyst Gavin Parsons maintained a Buy rating and increased the price forecast from $255 to $280.
JP Morgan&#8217;s Seth Seifman reaffirmed an Overweight rating, lifting the forecast from $230 to $251. Susquehanna&#8217;s Charles Minervino held a Positive rating while increasing the forecast from $265 to $270. Lastly, Barclays analyst David Strauss also maintained an Overweight stance and raised the price forecast from $210 to $255.
Price Action: BA shares are trading higher by 0.81% at $227.92 on Wednesday&#8217;s last check.
