Buying More Rocket Lab After Price Target Change A roundup of recent portfolio news highlights several key developments in the aerospace and technology sectors, with analysts and companies sharing updates on stock ratings, strategic partnerships, and regulatory changes. Analyst Ross Sandler of Barclays reiterated a "buy" rating on Amazon (AMZN) along with a $330 target price. Sandler, who is rated five stars by TipRanks, has a 63% success rate over the past two years with an average return of 31.2%. The analyst's recommendation comes as Amazon received an extension from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on its Leo satellite internet deployment. The company had initially planned to launch over 1,600 satellites by July 30 but requested an extension in January due to rocket capacity issues and design changes. The FCC's approval allows Amazon to delay its satellite launch schedule, though the recent Blue Origin rocket accident was not mentioned in the update. Evolv Technologies (EVLV) also saw renewed analyst interest, with Shaul Eyal of TD Cowen reiterating a "buy" rating and setting a $10 target price. Eyal, who is rated five stars by TipRanks, has a 60% success rate over the past two years with an average return of 21.8%. TD Cowen further labeled Evolv as a top small-cap idea for 2026, citing the company's security-as-a-service model, subscriptions-first approach, and performance improvement strategies as key drivers for future growth. The firm emphasized that these factors should lead to improved performance and valuation for Evolv. Planet Labs (PL) announced its participation in the Atmospheric Impact of Reentered Spacecraft (AIRS) initiative, a collaboration between industry and academia aimed at studying the effects of spacecraft reentry on Earth's atmosphere.#amazon #federal_communications_commission #barclays #ross_sandler #evolv_technologies
