5 Stocks Wall Street Thinks Could Soar

While it's never a good idea to slavishly follow analyst price targets (which often get revised downward after the share price falls), these projections can be a marker for finding value among stocks you might be interested in.

Its earnings received a boost from the pandemic because its diagnostic tests are used to detect the virus, while its life sciences tools are used to research and develop vaccines and therapies.
