Why Fastly Stock Popped, Then Dropped on Friday

Shares of Fastly (NYSE: FSLY) jumped out of the gate Friday, climbing as much as 8.7% before the broader market decline dragged it back down.

Raymond James analyst Frank Louthan upgraded Fastly stock to outperform (buy) from market perform (hold) and assigned a price target of $42.
