Dave Inc. reports better-than-expected Q4, snags price target hikes

Small-cap neobank Dave Inc. got an initial pop before paring those gains shortly after market open and falling into the red. It reported better-than-expected Q4 adjusted numbers yesterday after the bell and then collected a few price target hikes from analysts at Canaccord Genuity, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, and B. Riley Securities, but the shares were unable to hold on to the early enthusiasm.

The stock has had a pretty stupendous run, rising 937% in 2024 and 155% last year. Through yesterday’s close, 2026 hasn’t been as much fun, with the shares down 10%.

It does seem like the business has been turning toward steadier profitability, with GAAP net income hitting a quarterly record of $92 million in Q3 and following that up in Q4 with $66 million, up more than 290% from the same quarter last year.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
