Teladoc rises after Citron report calls it a “coiled spring”

Teladoc, the embattled pandemic-era darling, rose about 15% on Monday and is up another 4.7% in premarket trading on Tuesday after Citron Research published a bullish report on the company.

The fact that more of Teladoc’s services — especially BetterHelp, its biggest cash cow — will soon potentially be covered by insurance could reverse the company’s declining revenues, the research firm said: “This isn’t incremental — it’s transformational.”

The cheery report breathed life into Teladoc, which is still down 17% this year. It recently appointed a new CEO after the abrupt departure of its longtime leader in April.

The stock peaked at about $300 a share in early 2021. On Monday, it closed at $7.89.

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.
