JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently raised its Sphere Entertainment stock price target from $25 to $28 following the release of the entertainment company’s Q4 figures. JPMorgan analyst David Karnovsky wrote:
“While the attention the exosphere received on social media and the press has given us incremental confidence on what forward demand will be from artists, consumers, and corporate partners, the ultimate success of the venue, and viability of future Spheres, will hinge largely on original content.”
Another company that experienced a premarket surge in share price was AMC Entertainment which rose by 2% following the announcement that the tour documentary “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé”, will be distributed in the United States later this year. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker Tesla’s shares dropped almost 3% after the company reported a decline in production in the third quarter that was attributed to a planned shutdown.
