VNET Group Inc's stock fell by 9.14% as it crossed below its 5-day SMA, indicating a significant downward movement in price.
The decline in VNET's stock price is attributed to sector rotation, as the broader market, including the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, showed slight gains. This suggests that investors may be reallocating their investments away from VNET and similar stocks towards other sectors that are performing better.
This movement could indicate a shift in investor sentiment, potentially leading to further declines if the trend continues. Investors may want to monitor the stock closely for any signs of recovery or further deterioration.

Wall Street analysts forecast VNET stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for VNET is 13.80 USD with a low forecast of 12.50 USD and a high forecast of 15.10 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
