Wells Fargo raised its price target for the stock from $245 to $290 following the rally, and Goldman Sachs noted that they expect the company to post earnings and revenue beats during their upcoming earnings report.

General Motors Co (GM)

Crypto Stocks

-1.53%

Trading lower as a group in tandem with a pullback in Bitcoin, which is poised to break a three-day green streak.

Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported that Coinbase is acquiring Echo, a crypto fundraising platform, in a $375 million cash-and-stock deal.
