Why Warner Music Group Stock Jumped 13% on Tuesday

Warner Music Group (NASDAQ: WMG) shareholders trounced a rising market on Tuesday, with shares up by 13% as of 3:30 p.m. EDT. The surge came following a significant stock price target upgrade by a Wall Street investment firm.

The analyst landed on a $48 per share short-term price target on the stock -- about 19% higher than Monday's closing price.
