Soleil upgrades Alcoa to hold from sell
Soleil Equity Research on Thursday upgraded its rating on shares of aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. to hold from a sell rating the broker placed on the stock at the end of May. Alcoa's shares have fallen more than 20% to $32.78 in the past five weeks against close-to-9% drop in S&P 500, and "the new, lower price justifies a hold rating, not a sell," Soleil said in a note to clients. The researcher's target price for Alcoa shares remains at $40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average component is slated to report second-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
