In a financial landscape characterized by volatile energy markets and a tech sector in flux, investment guru Jim Cramer&#8216;s latest recommendations on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round&#8221; reflect keen insights into both traditional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">and emerging industries.</a>

When asked about Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), he said, &#8220;I don't know, but it's going in the right direction.&#8221;
On July 16, Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers maintained AMD with an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $120 to $185, while Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh maintained the stock with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $152 to $175.
Cramer said he likes Cameco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), adding that it is a &#8220;winner.&#8221;
Lending support to his choice, RBC Capital analyst Andrew Wong, on June 20, maintained Cameco with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $90 to $100.
Price Action:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

Jim Cramer Says AMD Is 'Going In The Right Direction'

President Donald Trump is emphasizing nuclear energy and has rallied the Department of Energy to overhaul the sector through a series of executive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46308025/get-ready-for-800-hours-of-blackouts-trumps-doe-warns">orders and initiatives. </a>
The administration's ambitious goal is to quadruple U.S. nuclear generating capacity to 400 GW by 2050 and reinvigorate the domestic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46470239/energy-fuels-uuuu-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-high-today-whats-going-on#google_vignette">nuclear fuel cycle</a>.
What To Know: The DOE is tasked with fast-tracking the construction of next-gen reactors, including demonstration units for the Department of Defense and AI data centers critical to national security.

In June, the department introduced a new pilot program designed to accelerate the testing of advanced reactor designs and is currently evaluating submissions from participants. 
However, the United States does not have enough domestic nuclear fuel resources to satisfy anticipated demand. To address the shortage, the DOE announced on Wednesday a <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-announces-pilot-program-build-advanced-us-nuclear-fuel-lines-and-end">pilot program </a>with the same expedited authorities to spur the development of new nuclear fuel production capabilities.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nuclear Renaissance</h3>
Trump's DOE-driven initiatives represent the most aggressive drive toward a "nuclear renaissance" in decades. If the plans for fuel self-sufficiency and reactor deployment materialize, the U.S. nuclear sector could see unprecedented growth and investor enthusiasm.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nuclear Stocks</h3>
Trump's strong support of nuclear energy technologies and promises of regulatory relief <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46470370/oklo-stock-is-trading-higher-thursday-whats-going-on-2">ignited a rally </a>across nuclear-related stocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Shares of nuclear utility and reactor developers, including Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>), Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) are up significantly since May and saw another bump following Wednesday's announcement from the DOE. 
Uranium miners and processors such as Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), Energy Fuels, Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>) and Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) also posted large gains.

Behind the Scenes of Cameco's Latest Options Trends

<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/france-loses-niger-uranium-mine-as?r=3nmatg">France lost a strategic uranium</a> mine in Africa after Niger's military junta <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/20/niger-nationalises-uranium-mine-as-spat-with-french-nuclear-giant-worsens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seize</a>d the reserve from Europe&#8217;s biggest nuclear producer.
The junta described the nationalization of the Somair mine as "healthier and more sustainable management" of national resources. French state-owned company Orano SA had operated the mine for 55 years.
Niger&#8217;s uranium has fueled over 30% of France's nuclear reactors, making the seizure of Somair a strategic setback for Paris. Niger ranked among the world's top 10 uranium-rich nations, with <a href="https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/mining-of-uranium/world-uranium-mining-production">6.2% of global reserves </a>in 2023.
Other regional governments have pressured foreign producers to surrender a higher percentage of royalty payments. Commodities have undergone sustained price increases starting started with gold surging above $2,400 per ounce in early 2024)
In Mali, the governing junta placed Barrick Mining's Loulo-Gounkoto complex <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45969041/barricks-top-gold-mine-placed-under-state-control" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">under state administration</a>. The government halted output in January at the complex that produces 600,000 ounces of gold annually after a tax dispute. The junta claimed it had secured over €1 billion in additional revenue by renegotiating mining contracts.
This pattern of abrupt regulatory changes has weakened the influence of France and Europe in the Sahel region. Russia and Turkey have expanded their ties, driven anti-Western sentiment and military coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

Uranium prices have increased over 11% to $79.70 per pound in June. After bottoming on April 8, Sprott Junior Uranium ETF (URNJ) rose by 74% on renewed investor confidence and robust demand.

Uranium spot price per pound, Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/uranium">TradingEconomics</a>
Trump&#8217;s executive orders aim to quadruple US nuclear power capacity from 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050. Annual uranium demand could increase from 50 million pounds to 200 million pounds U₃O₈. UxC said this is nearly double the 164 million pounds forecasted production for 2025. 
AI data centers have become major energy consumers. Meta's recent <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/03/meta-signs-nuclear-power-deal-with-constellation-energy-.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1.121 MW nuclear power deal</a> with Constellation Energy shows the scope of such requests. This combination of industrial and geopolitical momentum is positioning uranium as a cornerstone solution for the ever-growing energy demand.
After stagnating for two decades, EIA expects the U.S. power consumption to reach record highs in 2025 and 2026. Trump&#8217;s executive order will benefit Cameco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), Vistra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>), and GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EU Commits €241 Billion to Nuclear Expansion</h2>
Like the US, the European Union (EU) has implemented policies to expand nuclear production.
The European Commission <a href="https://energy.ec.europa.eu/topics/nuclear-energy/nuclear-investment-needs_en">said</a> EU needs €241 billion to increase nuclear capacity from 98 GW to 109 GW by 2050. This includes €205 billion for the development of new reactors and €36 billion for the life extension of existing infrastructure.
Nuclear power currently supplies 23.7% of the EU's electricity. Twelve of the EU's 27 member states operate nuclear reactors. France&#8217;s 56 reactors account for approximately 70% of the EU&#8217;s nuclear capacity.
The commission has acknowledged the risks of delay. A five-year lag in new builds could result in increased costs of €45 billion. Rapid data center expansion is already straining the power grids of EU countries and limiting the potential for AI expansion. Ireland's data centers will consume <a href="https://www.merciaai.com/post/will-europe-s-ai-ambitions-succeed-part-2-the-energy-hungry-ai-boom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">30% of the country's electricity</a> by 2030.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Western Europe Sees Nuclear Power Reassessed</h2>
The European Investment Bank plans to launch a <a href="https://www.eib.org/en/press/news/eib-group-and-european-commission-simplify-application-of-state-aid-rules-to-support-europe-s-clean-industry-and-hold-roundtable-with-business-leaders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">€500 million pilot program</a> for power purchase agreements, with nuclear projects. The Commission pointed out that "a combination of diverse sources of financing complemented by de-risking instruments may be the response."
Recent political shifts support this transition. Germany changed its policy after shutting down of its last three nuclear reactors in 2023. It stopped hindering the inclusion of nuclear energy in the EU&#8217;s green energy initiatives. Denmark and Spain have reevaluated their positions on nuclear energy, prompted by concerns over energy security and recent grid disruptions.
Europe has started to reassess its nuclear energy powers, seeing is crucial. Urenco Group, a uranium-enrichment company majority-owned by the Netherlands and the UK, could benefit from this market shift.
&#8220;We know that it&#8217;s a low-carbon energy source,&#8221; Belgium&#8217;s Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet <a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/27/why-nuclear-energy-is-making-a-comeback-across-europe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s also an abundant energy source.&#8221; 

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sweden&#8217;s Viken Uranium Deposit Is European Game-Changer</h3>
The Swedish Ministry of Climate and Enterprise proposed on June 12 to lift the country&#8217;s uranium mining ban. If the parliament ratifies the proposal, uranium will be classified as a concession mineral under the Minerals Act, effective January 1, 2026.

The Canadian mining company District Metals Corp (DMXCF: OTCQB) would benefit from this policy change. Its <a href="https://districtmetals.com/projects/viken-sweden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Viken Property</a> in central Sweden has 43,500 tons (95.9 million pounds) of U₃O₈. According to the company&#8217;s filings and independent assessments, this deposit represents more than 80% of Europe's known uranium resources.
The deposit includes major quantities of vanadium (312 million pounds), molybdenum (144 million pounds), and nickel (98 million pounds).
"The Swedish Government's consistent and rigorous approach toward lifting the uranium moratorium appears to be advancing… Sweden is poised to unlock its vast uranium resources for the green energy transition during a time of increasing geopolitical unrest," CEO Garrett Ainsworth said in <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://districtmetals.com/news/2025/district-comments-on-uranium-mining-announcement-from-the-swedish-government-3/">the latest statement</a>.
The firm has commenced an <a href="https://districtmetals.com/news/2025/district-completes-airborne-mobilemt-survey-at-the-viken-property-and-commences-mobilemt-at-the-alum-shale-properties-in-sweden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">airborne MobileMT geophysical survey</a>. It updated the Viken resource model as of April 2025, guaranteeing readiness for permitting and future production once the moratorium is lifted. 
Sweden&#8217;s foray into uranium production could potentially mitigate Europe&#8217;s supply risks following disruptions in Niger and the tense relations with Russia, which accounts for over 20% of the EU&#8217;s enriched uranium supply.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Uranium&#8217;s Heating Up</h2>
Behind the surge is a combination of tight supply, rising demand, and a geopolitical backdrop that's becoming increasingly favorable for nuclear energy. Uranium spot prices have jumped nearly 30% year-to-date, with buyers scrambling to secure future supply as global stockpiles dwindle.
Governments are changing their tune. France is committing to new reactors, and Japan is reactivating nuclear plants post-Fukushima. Even in the U.S., nuclear is no longer a third-rail issue—the administration's Inflation Reduction Act allocates billions to support domestic nuclear fuel development.
Investors have noticed. The Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URNM#NYSE">URNM</a>) and Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>) have soared more than 27% YTD, handily outperforming the S&amp;P 500.
Meanwhile, uranium majors like Cameco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) and NexGen Energy Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXE#NYSE">NXE</a>) are up over 35% and 28% respectively, over the same stretch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Makes This Rally Different</h2>
Unlike past uranium spikes driven by hype, this rally is grounded in fundamentals. The world's push for decarbonization is putting nuclear and uranium in the spotlight. Utilities are returning to long-term uranium contracting after years of underinvestment and supply-side stagnation.
Retail interest is picking up, too. Google search trends for "uranium stocks" have hit multi-year <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&amp;geo=US&amp;q=uranium%20stocks&amp;hl=en">highs</a>, and uranium-focused subreddits are seeing traffic spikes. The uranium narrative is no longer niche &#8211; it's becoming mainstream.
For U.S. investors, CCJ remains the blue-chip play. NXE, Denison Mines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNN#NYSE">DNN</a>) and Energy Fuels Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#NYSE">UUUU</a>) offer higher-risk, higher-reward exposure. URNM and URA provide diversified bets on the entire value chain.
If this 11-week winning streak is any indication, the uranium bull market is not just alive—it's glowing.

Uranium Stocks On 11-Week Tear - Their Longest Winning Streak In History

UROY

Shares of uranium stocks are trading higher amid reports suggesting Iran wants to de-escalate hostilities with Israel. Within the last few days, Israel's aerial strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities.

Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), the world&#8217;s largest publicly traded uranium miner, has been moving sharply up as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45890905/4-stocks-to-play-the-nuclear-energy-revival">nuclear energy industry</a> enters a renaissance. CCJ&#8217;s recent move is outsized, but this chart has a strong upward trajectory for the longer-term investor over time.
That said, a fade to support may be on the horizon. Both short-term and long-term traders can benefit from a move like this with a simple calendar spread. 
The trade we&#8217;re going to use is a call calendar spread. A long calendar spread generally presents as a debit spread with limited risk parameters. The trader sells a call in a near month and buys the same strike in a month that is further out into the future. If the short strike expires worthless, which is what we hope will happen in an ideal scenario, the long call will be positioned for unlimited upside if the stock price continues upward. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Discover ‘Power Patterns' That Have Delivered Winners Like Seasonal Clockwork</h2>
Trading legend Tom Gentile, who has trained 300,000 investors, reveals the market's hidden ‘Power Patterns.' The same ones he's used in 2025 alone to lock in gains like 105% from Adobe…128% from Progressive…and 150% from Costco in less than two weeks. Reserve Your Seat <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/power-pattern-profits-1?utm_campaign=power-pattern-registration">HERE</a> to Power Patterns Profits LIVE.
With Cameco&#8217;s relative resistance zone sitting right around $68 and support sitting near $54 &#8211; the low edge of the recent gap created by the candle of May 22, 2025 &#8211; here&#8217;s our trade:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sell to open 1 18Jul 65 call </li>
<li>Buy to open 1 19Sept 65 call </li>
</ul>
At this writing, the position creates a debit spread of $2.78. This represents the total risk of the trade.&nbsp;
The breakeven prices of the stock at expiration on this trade are calculated by adding the debit to the strike, which is $65 = $65.00 + $2.78 = $67.78 plus commissions. 
The three things to keep in mind for when to exit the trade are:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Set alerts for $53.80 and $65.00 – this will give you a heads up if the chart is breaking support or breaking resistance and will also shed light on whether to close the trade or not. </li>
<li>The ideal formation for this trade results from the failure of the price to hold above $65 until after the July expiration. If this happens, you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to sell another option against the Sept 65 expiration, potentially the August 65 strike or a September strike above $70 if price action continues to move north, thereby decreasing the breakeven price.</li>
<li>Sell the position if the trade breaks your risk parameters for loss or gains. If you have no intention of buying the stock, set a threshold for profit. I like to use 1:1 risk-to-reward for these kinds of calendar spreads.</li>

Nuclear energy stocks have been partying like it's 1979, riding a wave of tailwinds that could set up an industry revival. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains">presented a new series of executive orders</a> on May 23 aimed at boosting nuclear production and reducing regulatory burdens. Still, the push to bring nuclear energy back into the mainstream has been underway for years.
Clean energy initiatives and the ever-growing power demands of AI data centers have contributed to the renewed push for nuclear energy. Unlike wind or solar energy, atomic energy is consistent and does not require favorable weather conditions to function. It&#8217;s also a clean energy source, which is why tech leaders and regulators have been quick to embrace it as power demands grow.
But while the upside is vast, investors will need to be patient. Nuclear power plants take years to build and require tremendous human resources and capital.
However, tech money is already rolling into nuclear power providers, and several companies have innovations in the pipeline that could reduce construction times and expenses.

Here are four nuclear energy stocks set to become leaders as the nuclear revival grows.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Constellation Energy Corp.</h2>
Constellation Energy&nbsp; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NYSE">CEG</a>) made headlines this week by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748439/constellation-energy-signs-20-year-nuclear-power-deal-with-meta-stock-surges">announcing a partnership</a> with Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). The deal is a 20-year power purchase agreement that will provide Meta Platforms with 1,121 megawatts of nuclear power to support its clean energy initiatives. Constellation's Clinton Clean Energy Center will be sourcing the power, which was in danger of closing when its zero emissions credit from Illinois expired. Now that Meta will be taking power starting in 2027, the plant will remain open for another two decades, and the stock briefly hit $340 on the promising news.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcrnhecu0hhv3FyY-7HNTT4ybPzFUesisy9NDKhgRJIjm3Eb8o4ZFwSaL7xixYe_B-dsW3Mqc6wXf9rEPVzW13arlCgRS_a04SIagElloo1Hm1Jf5f5DuPVHpzzawUFLNaK_3XGpw?key=jcaDfLI0wDOIAUpmQMjikg" alt="" /></figure>
Constellation is one of the largest public nuclear energy companies, with a market capitalization of $98 billion and annual sales exceeding $24 billion. Unlike many of the other companies on this list, it offers a diverse energy portfolio that includes fossil fuels such as natural gas, as well as clean sources like wind and solar. It also has the profit growth to back up the hype. The company reported EPS of $2.14 and revenue of $6.79 billion in its May 6 earnings release, blowing past the expectations of $2.11 and $5.34 billion. BMO Capital and UBS increased their price targets after the report to $337 and $320, respectively, before the major Meta partnership announcement. Expect more price target hikes in the coming days and weeks, as CEG shares seem set to make new all-time highs this year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oklo Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Oklo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), a developer of fission power plants, stands to be a significant beneficiary of Trump's orders as its facilities are not far from operational and are fueled by a key resource. Its reactors also use high-assay, low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, a higher-quality fuel product than traditional plants, which was mentioned by name in the executive orders. 
OKLO shares approached new all-time highs following the announcement, but some profit-taking this week might open up new entry points.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdMrsTmt-J6FwehCO1_5KSkqAjArZ0Mhm5FLQ7o7mrclyRnOywbwWdDiYDKzK0YGUubJYmVAXoJNEC4Pz2OiPuIj8ogvvmD6S6IMYaZqUET2YOpV2DmjBgQmui-baRQtk6GsK9xSQ?key=jcaDfLI0wDOIAUpmQMjikg" alt="" /></figure>
OKLO made a new all-time high in February but retreated when tariffs spooked the market. After bouncing off the 200-day moving average, the stock entered a new uptrend and now trades above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. A 70 on the Relative Strength Index triggered some profit-taking earlier this week, but a quick 5% drop is good news for investors looking to get in at a better price. The stock's Benzinga Edge Momentum Score of 99.30 indicates the uptrend remains firmly in place.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NuScale Power&nbsp;</h2>
NuScale (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) is the only company with a small modular reactor (SMR) module that has garnered approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). And while no SMR facility has been built in the United States yet, the Trump Administration aims to change that through the executive orders released two weeks ago. SMRs are smaller and require less time and capital to construct, making them an ideal solution for companies that want to scale up nuclear operations incrementally. NuScale shares, which ignited new all-time highs on the Tuesday after Memorial Day, have bullish fundamentals and technicals behind them.

The stock reached a new all-time high on substantial volume, triggering a Golden Cross as the 50-day moving average surpassed the 200-day moving average. A 98.32 Benzinga Edge Momentum Score indicates that this uptrend has significant strength, and it&#8217;s not just technical indicators sending bullish signals. NuScale, which has deals in place with data centers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, reported an impressive earnings beat on May 12, with revenue exceeding expectations by nearly 300%. The stock received three price target boosts following the earnings report and Trump's executive orders, led by CLSA, which bumped its target to $41, indicating nearly a 30% upside. SMR shares pulled back this week as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached overbought territory, but this retreat from all-time highs could be a good entry point for new positions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cameco Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Cameco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) might not be making deals with any mega-cap tech companies, but powering these data centers would likely be impossible without the company's uranium products. Cameco is one of the biggest worldwide uranium miners, with operations spanning four continents.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcEfaHz_feUsOVQJvNfnQ1IGJjO4bJm2DRI_eFyzSSm2b9vKCrQwxOkz-xOGpgoOEaEaHytsazXYEraOa-E5xt6Vaqxvz-eVmVGLwuM9mqXOPYYx-yjuZvZu7sQRe_MGFsFDhaijw?key=jcaDfLI0wDOIAUpmQMjikg" alt="" /></figure>
Despite the sector tailwinds, CCJ shares have been stuck in a trading range since last summer. However, now that energy demands are increasing and regulators are becoming increasingly positive about nuclear, the catalysts are in place for the stock to finally break out to new highs. A bullish MACD crossover is helping boost momentum as the stock tries to shake off an earnings miss from May 1. Despite the earnings miss, analysts remain optimistic about the stock, with a consensus Buy rating and an average price target of $67.91. Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on May 20 with a Buy rating and a price target of $65, projecting an 8.5% upside from current prices.
