fell 3.2% in the morning session after Mizuho lowered its price target on the shares.

Despite the reduction, the analyst, John Baumgartner, maintained a 'neutral' rating on the stock.

An 'Overweight' rating typically functioned as a recommendation to buy the stock. This move came amid broader positive sentiment for the company, whose strategy centered on the aggressive acquisition of Bitcoin. The upward momentum was also supported by a rise in the price of Bitcoin itself, which traded higher during the period. Investor confidence in the company's crypto-focused strategy underpinned the stock's advance ahead of its upcoming quarterly earnings report.
