Reason
Truist raised the firm's price target on Academy Sports to $57 from $50 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares after its Q3 results. Overall topline trends remain softer/mixed, with growth initiatives generating strong results, and gross margins "handily beat", the analyst tells investors in a research note. The company executed well to elevate their assortment and attract higher-income traffic, but it is also facing potential headwinds around lower/middle income consumer base spending, the firm added.

Reason
UBS analyst Michael Lasser raised the firm's price target on Academy Sports to $54 from $52 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. There were some constructive data points from Academy Sports' Q3, but the positive reaction following the event was likely more a function of positioning and low expectations heading into the report, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
