WillScot Holdings Corp saw a significant increase of 6.91% following an upgrade from Baird, which raised its rating to Outperform and set a new price target of $22. This upgrade was based on the company's strong performance in Q3, which analysts believe indicates an 'investable bottom' for the stock.
Analyst Andrew Wittmann highlighted WillScot's market leadership and growth potential in value-added services, suggesting that the company is well-positioned for future growth. The upgrade has generated positive sentiment among investors, contributing to the stock's upward momentum.
Overall, the stock's rise reflects both the positive analyst outlook and broader market trends, as the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 also posted gains on the same day.
