This week's activity centers on a string of analyst upgrades. JPMorgan raised Macerich (MAC) to Overweight from Neutral with a $26 price target, citing a more positive outlook on the REIT. Evercore ISI separately upgraded the stock to Outperform from In Line, pointing to an improving balance sheet, accelerating funds from operations growth, and reduced leverage as the company's Path Forward plan progresses. These actions followed a broader batch of Monday upgrades across several names.
