With the trading day about halfway over, the broad markets were pushing higher on the day. Part of this was optimism in regards to the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, and David Tepper also made comments why investors should be less bearish.

24/7 Wall St. is looking at some big analyst calls that we have seen so far on Monday. 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 Monday that included Accenture, Coca-Cola, Fastly, First Solar, Marvell, Peloton, Target and more.

One surprising recent change is many hedge funds and mutual fund portfolio managers are buying old-school legacy tech stocks. Five of them make sense for investors looking to move out of the momentum plays. Furthermore, top analysts were bullish on eight top tech stocks last week.

Note that GameStop stock may be making another run. Meanwhile, Apple stock keeps slipping.
