Virgin Galactic Gains From New Investment, SpaceX Optimism
Shares of the aerospace company soared to a 52-week high of $6.61 after a filing revealed that RichRich Capital LLC had taken a 5.26% stake in Virgin Galactic.
According to the filing, RichRich Capital disclosed ownership of 4.87 million Virgin Galactic shares, representing a 4.62% stake, along with call options tied to an additional 4.57 million shares. Rich Huang, the firm’s sole member, reported beneficial ownership of 5.58 million shares, or 5.26% of the company, and disclosed call options covering an additional 708,500 shares held through personal accounts and an IRA.
Separately, Virgin Galactic also continued to benefit from improving sentiment across the space sector, as investors increasingly focused on the upcoming SpaceX IPO, which has helped fuel retail interest.
SPCE shares have surged more than 87% so far this year. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the company remained in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing.
Ford Rises As Data Center Pivot Draws Wall Street Optimism
Shares of the carmaker jumped to a fresh 52-week high of $17.78 on Friday, posting gains of about 46% for May, the best monthly gains in about 17 years, after the company launched Ford Energy, a $2 billion battery subsidiary.
Deutsche Bank raised the price target on Ford to $15 from $12 and kept a ‘Hold’ rating on the shares. Battery storage system data center contracts “offer an intriguing growth angle and a layer of multiple expansion,” but the energy segment is still in its early stage and the automotive business remains Ford’s fundamental foundation, the analyst said, as per TheFly.
BofA also raised the price target on Ford to $20 from $17 and kept a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The analyst said that Ford shares have been rallying due to increased investor optimism about its battery energy storage system offering.
However, the firm said investor sentiment appeared to be improving even before the announcement, driven by growing interest from long-only investors who believe Ford is well-positioned in North America’s most profitable automotive segments, according to TheFly. The analyst also pointed to a potential recovery at supplier Novelis as an additional upside catalyst for the stock.
F stock has gained about 30% so far in 2026, even as retail sentiment has remained ‘bullish’ over 24 hours, amid ‘high’ message volumes on Stocktwits.
Dell Gets Price Target Upgrades On Strong Q1 Results
The Round Rock, Texas-based technology company jumped to a 52-week high of $429.15 on Friday, as a series of Wall Street price target upgrades boosted investor sentiment following a strong first-quarter performance.
Bernstein analyst Mark Newman raised the price target on Dell Technologies to $500 from $280 and kept an ‘Outperform’ rating on the shares, citing its “exceptionally strong” fiscal Q1 results, as per TheFly. The revised target price indicates nearly 19% upside from its last close. The analyst also said that Dell is “firing on all cylinders.”
Argus analyst Jim Kelleher raised the price target on Dell Technologies to $460 from $200 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares after its Q1. The analyst said that the results sharply exceeded consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines, and that for FY27 it expects infrastructure growth, driven by AI acceleration and improving AI PC sales, to meaningfully offset margin pressure from higher memory costs.
For Q1 2027, Dell posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.86 on $43.8 billion in revenue, representing 88% year-over-year growth.
DELL stock has surged more than 229% in 2026 even as retail sentiment has stayed ‘extremely bullish’ on Stocktwits amid ‘extremely high’ message volumes.
