Shares of IT incident response platform PagerDuty (NYSE:PD)
jumped 8.8% in the morning session after reports surfaced that the company was exploring a potential sale, prompting an upgrade from a Wall Street firm. Investment bank TD Cowen upgraded the stock to “Buy” from “Hold” and raised its price target to $22. Analysts at the firm cited a “high likelihood” that PagerDuty would be acquired, noting the company was reportedly working with Qatalyst Partners, a firm with a strong track record in software mergers and acquisitions. While takeover interest had surfaced in the past, reports indicated that the hiring of advisors made this situation more concrete for investors, signaling a more serious process was underway.
Shares of regional banking institution Bank of Hawaii (NYSE:BOH) fell 4.5% in the morning session after the company reported mixed second-quarter financial results where a significant revenue miss overshadowed an earnings per share beat. The bank posted diluted earnings per share of $1.06, which came in slightly ahead of analyst expectations. However, investors appeared to focus on the company's top-line performance. Bank of Hawaii's net interest income for the quarter was $129.7 million, which fell considerably short of estimates. The market's reaction suggested that concerns over the revenue shortfall overshadowed the otherwise positive aspects of the report.
Shares of natural food company Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN)
fell 4.3% in the morning session after an analyst at Mizuho lowered the company's price target, signaling a more cautious outlook on the stock's valuation. The analyst, John Baumgartner, reduced the price objective on Hain Celestial's stock to $2.50 from the previous target of $3.00. While the price target was cut, Mizuho maintained its "Neutral" rating on the shares. This adjustment, however, represented a nearly 17% decrease in the analyst's forecast for the stock's future price. A downward revision from a Wall Street firm often prompted investors to reassess their own expectations, which contributed to the selling pressure on the stock during the session.
