Precigen, Inc. (PGEN)
rose through its 50-day moving average on limited news.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) broke above its 200-day moving average early in the week and later cleared its 100-day moving average following Carnival’s earnings beat. Barclays lowered their price target from $28 to $23 (0% upside) and maintained their buy rating.

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (UAL) hit a new all-time high after Wells Fargo initiated coverage with an overweight rating and $145 price target (27% upside). Wells Fargo noted that about 30% of industry capacity is expected to be unprofitable in 2025 and forecasted capacity rationalization in 2026 with higher main cabin margins. Additionally, Wells Fargo believes United’s card agreements with Chase and its MileagePlus loyalty program provide material value, earnings stability, and potentially justify a re-rate to higher multiples as the business matures.

UBS Group AG (UBS) reached a new all-time high after Swiss lawmakers proposed backing foreign subsidiaries with a 50/50 mix of additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds and common equity tier 1 (CET1), a more cost-effective alternative to the previously proposed 100% CET1 requirement.

UnitedHealth Group (UNH) fell through its 50-day moving average after Deutsche Bank reiterated their $333 price target (2% upside) and hold rating. Shares extended their decline on Friday after Trump said he plans to meet with health insurers, arguing they should lower their prices.

Citi maintained their $505 price target (124% upside) on Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) following the company’s “System Update” event. Citi viewed the event as a significant milestone, noting that offerings such as commission-free trading, prediction markets, AI-driven wealth management, and perpetual derivatives trading further strengthen the company’s moat.

CVS Health Corp (CVS) fell through its 50-day moving average.
