Unpacking the Momentum Driving MicroStrategy Stock.

MicroStrategy surged to $216.98 per share this afternoon, but it remains 7.43% above its mean target price of $201.97. There may still be room for more downwards movement — even after today's 12.2% drop. Analysts are giving the Large-Cap Software stock on average rating of buy, with target prices ranging from $169.21 to $290.0 per share.

MicroStrategy has an elevated short interest of 16.8%. The stock's short ratio, or the number of days needed for all shorts to cover their positions, is 2.72. At 0.25%, the company's rate of insider ownership does not indicate that management is heavily invested in the corporation. 50.5% of MicroStrategy shares are held by institutional investors, which indicates a high level of confidence in the stock.
