Winners and losers

Stocks in the red include Analogic as the health care solutions provider will be acquired by Altaris Capital Partner’s for $84.00 a share, lower than yesterday’s closing price as investors think it should be worth more; Fastenal as the industrial supplier’s shrinking margins sent shares lower; and Avis Budget Group, with shares down as Northcoast Research downgraded the car rental operator to Neutral with a price target of $49.00

Stocks in the green include Hilton as the hotel chain priced a secondary offering at $73 per share as China’s HNA Group – Hilton’s largest shareholder – is selling the shares; Netflix as Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $360 from $315 and reaffirmed the Buy rating for the video streaming internet company; and Mattel, with shares getting a boost as analysts at Jefferies see many of the risks on Mattel baked into the toymaker’s share price.
