With the trading day about halfway over, the broad markets have not made up their minds on a direction for the day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw a loss on the day, while the Dow Jones industrials were positive.

24/7 Wall St. is looking at some big analyst calls that we have seen so far on Wednesday. We have included the most recent analyst call on each stock, as well as a recent trading history and the consensus targets among analysts.

For those that might have missed it, 24/7 Wall St. had an earlier round of analyst calls on Wednesday that included Adobe, Fisker, Rocket Companies, Roku, Shopify, Target and more.
