Stocks were rising Friday as Wall Street put aside concerns that higher inflation and increased borrowing costs could stall an economic recovery.
Here are five top stock gainers for Friday:
1. Deere & Co. | Percentage Increase Over 11.1%
Deere (DE) – Get Report surged after the farm and construction equipment maker posted stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings and raised its 2021 profit forecast.
2. Avis Budget Group | Percentage Increase Over 7.9%
Avis Budget Group (CAR) – Get Report advanced after Morgan Stanley analyst Billy Kovanis raised his price target on the stock to $56 from $44 and kept an overweight rating on the shares.
Avis reported a narrower-than-expected fourth-quarter loss earlier this week.
