Boeing started with Buy rating at UBS
UBS initiated coverage on Boeing (NYSE:BA) with a Buy rating on Wednesday with a price target of $275.
On Tuesday, the company announced deliveries for Q3 that revealed a September drop in its best-selling 737 MAX deliveries due to ongoing efforts to correct a manufacturing defect, with that figure hitting its lowest level since August 2021. Despite this, significant new orders were booked in September for 224 planes, offset by 10 cancellations, and shares rose more than 2% Tuesday.
The company is set to report its Q3/23 earnings on Oct 25.
Shares were up 0.8% to $193.53 in recent premarket trading.
Shoals Technologies gains on Goldman Sachs upgrade
Shoals Technologies Group (NASDAQ:SHLS) shares rose nearly 5% pre-market today after Goldman Sachs upped the company to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $28.00 from $27.00.
The analysts believe that recent warranty expense issues appear to be priced in, shifting the risk for margin gains upward. The upgrade also came on Goldman’s positive outlook on US utility-scale solar fundamentals and on multiple upcoming catalysts for the company.
