why it matters

Revisions like these usually affect individual stocks rather than the broader market, but they show how a major bank views companies in logistics and pharmaceuticals. Investors tend to focus on the trend across several analyst notes rather than a single one. Over the past 30 days, FedEx Freight targets ranged from $115 to $149, while Merck targets ranged from $140 to $180.
