MIR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of radiation safety company Mirion (NYSE: MIR) jumped 3.6% in the afternoon session after an analyst at Robert W. Baird raised their price target on the shares. The firm increased its price objective on the nuclear measurement and analysis company to $22.00 from $20.00, while maintaining an "outperform" rating on the stock. This new target suggests a potential upside of nearly 7% from the stock's previous closing price. The "outperform" rating indicates that the analyst expects Mirion's stock to perform better than the average return of the broader market. This vote of confidence from Wall Street follows a period of positive momentum for the company, which operates in the nuclear energy, medical, and science sectors. The move signals growing optimism about Mirion's future performance and its position within the expanding nuclear energy industry.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $20.89, up 3.3% from previous close.
