Next up, JetBlue getting a downgrade to market perform from outperform at Raymond James. The firm is citing more balanced risk reward amid improving sentiment. The stock hit the firm’s $5 price target, so they don’t see a lot of upside. Raymond James still sees the airline as a quote “survivor” in the industry, so they don’t expect liquidity and that risk even in a downturn. The analyst does name a few things though that could help the stock down the line, like industry consolidation and rumored partnerships even. And finally, Pinterest getting an upgrade to outperform from peer perform at Wolf Research. The firm is more optimistic as they see more muted macro overhanging success in the company’s core business due to features like performance plus, and then opportunity with third-party sellers and the stock’s reasonable valuation.
