U.S. stocks settled mixed on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index surging to record highs during the session. The Nasdaq Composite, however, moved lower amid a decline in semiconductor stocks.
Major indices closed the holiday-shortened week with gains, as the S&P 500 rose 1.8% and the 30-stock Dow surged around 2% during the week.
Wall Street analysts make new stock picks on a daily basis. Unfortunately for investors, not all analysts have particularly impressive track records at predicting market movements. Even when it comes to one single stock, analyst ratings and price targets can vary widely, leaving investors confused about which analyst’s opinion to trust.
