The previous big move we wrote about was 11 days ago when the stock gained 5.5% on the news that an analyst at Clear Street raised the firm's price target on the shares. 

Analyst Tim Moore increased the price forecast to $52 from a previous target of $50, while maintaining a "Strong Buy" rating on the stock. This move suggested a positive outlook on the company's potential performance. Price target adjustments can influence investor sentiment as they reflect an analyst's updated view on a company's value. The new target represented a significant potential increase from the stock's recent trading price.
